A/N: Here's the end of the Time Specter arc.
Please read and review?
All was quiet in New York City, as the wind blew a newspaper away.
Leo: When did enemies coming back from the great beyond become the rule instead of the exception?
Leo did a bunch of slice moves in the lair, then he turns around and slices three candles behind him.
My family and I...
He turns and slices more candles, as Splinter watches, then Leo did more slashes.
..were enjoying some well-deserved down time...
The Turtles and Splinter - expect Raph - all watch as the river water rose up, creating a wormhole.
..when suddenly, we were attacked by an foe thought to be long gone.
Ultimate Drako emerges from the wormhole, then spreads his wings out.
"Drako?" Splinter gasps.
"And the Daimyo's son." Leo said.
Somehow, he was back...
Ultimate Drako waves the Time Specter around.
..back for revenge. There was blinding flash of light...
A beam hits Leo, transporting him away.
..and I found myself in a strange new world with no clue how I got there and no way to get back.
Leo looks around Usagi's world while on top of a valley cliff, seeing a Feudal Japan village. He turns around and gasps, as Mogura Ninja rise up from the ground, when arrows hit the ground between them.
But at least...
The Moguras stare at Usagi, who jumps off his horse and dives towards them.
..I had a friend.
Usagi split kicks two Moguras, then back flips away.
"Usagi?!" Leo gasps.
Now with Usagi's help...
Usagi and Gen ride their horses slowly over a hill, with Leo and Lord Noriyuki sitting behind them.
..I hope to reach the Battle Nexus and ask the Daimyo...
Leo and Usagi stand by a rock near a river, Usagi drawing the symbols for the Battle Nexus on it, as Leo chanted with his hands together.
..to use his War Staff to save my family.
Water rose up near the rock, which turns into a portal to the Battle Nexus.
I know it sounds like a long shot...
Leo dives into the portal, followed by Usagi.
..but right now, it's the only shot I have.
The portal closes.
In the Battle Nexus realm, a portal opened up, then Leo and Usagi emerged from it.
"We made it." Leo said. "The Battle Nexus."
"I assured you I would bring you to this honorable place." Usagi said, as the portal closed, before they both walked off. "My Sensei, Master Katsuichi, taught me the ritual for entering the realm of the Battle Nexus, and I have made this journey many times."
Birds chirped in the sky, as a goat drank some water from a watering hole, before it looked up and turned to Leo and Usagi as they came towards itself, making it run off.
"But, no matter how many times I come to the Battle Nexus, it never ceases to amaze me..." Usagi said.
He and Leo both stopped on top of a cliff, then stared at the Daimyo's castle.
"..with its grandeur."
Soon, both Leo and Usagi walked through the palace's arena, which felt weird since the stands were empty.
"Just think of all the honorable warriors that fought in this arena over the years?" Leo said.
"But it is odd to find it so quiet." Usagi noted.
They both walked up a set of steps.
"Of course, I have never been here when the Battle Nexus Championship was not in progress." Usagi admitted.
They both stopped and stared at a door.
"Still, shouldn't there be guards or something?" Leo questioned.
"Hmm?" Usagi muttered, puzzled, seeing Leo's point.
They both pushed open the door, but saw the hallway on the other side was empty, expect for the Daimyo and the Gyoji, who were on the other side. They turned to each other, then walked across the hallway towards the Daimyo and the Gyoji.
"My Lord, it is Miyamoto Usagi." Gyoji explained, turning to him. "He has come to see you."
"So dark..." the Daimyo said, tried. "No use..."
"Surely you remember Usagi?" Gyoji asked. "And he has come with Leonardo, Hamato Splinter's pupil."
Leo and Usagi bowed on their knees.
"Honored Daimyo, I have come to ask for your help." Leo explained, getting up with Usagi. "My family, my siblings and my father, Master Splinter are in trouble."
The Daimyo stared at him blankly, nearly falling asleep.
"Please, Leonardo, continue?" Gyoji said, turning to Leo. "Tell the Daimyo everything."
"It was Drako, and your son." Leo explained. "They're still alive...if you can call it that. The two of them merged somehow, combined together to become one being. Sort of an...Ultimate Drako. He scattered us, throughout time and space. And, that's why I'm here, to ask you, most honored Daimyo, to please use your Warstaff to retrieve my siblings and my master. If you do, I will forever be in your debt."
He bowed down on his knees.
The Daimyo huffed quietly. "You, Leonardo, would be in my debt? You would put yourself in my service? What would you do for me?" he asked, gruffly. "Would you return to me my son?! My son that you took from me?!"
Usagi gasped at the Daimyo's tone.
"My son that you and your friend there, and your master and your vile wretched siblings destroyed?!" the Daimyo growled, getting Gyoji to turn around. "I will help you; yes. I will help you to learn the pain and loss..."
He got to his feet.
"..as you rot in my dungeon! Guards, size them!" he ordered.
Leo and Usagi both gasped.
A bunch of guards stormed into the room with axes, making Leo and Usagi turn around.
"AH!" they gasped.
The guards all stopped and pointed their weapons at Leo and Usagi, who turned as more of them entered the room, surrounding them both.
"Lock them in the dungeon forever!" the Daimyo commanded.
Leo and Usagi stared at some of the guards, before reluctantly bringing their swords out, knowing they'd have to fight they way out. The guards then charged at them both, then one tried to slash Leo with his axe, but he blocked it with both his swords. The guard pulled his axe back, then tried to slash Leo with it, but he blocked it with his swords, then he kicked the guard with both feet, before back flipped away.
"OH!" the guard moaned, falling down.
Leo landed near two more guards, then dodged as one tried to slash him, then he jumped as the guard pulled his axe back, then side flipped towards the other, who raised his axe. Leo then landed crouched down, then blocked a slash from the first with his right sword, as the second kept his raised.
Usagi backed away while having his sword locked with one, then he pulled his sword back, then blocked the guard's axe with it, before tripping him up.
"AGH!" the guard yelled, hitting the floor on his chest.
Leo and Usagi backed towards each other, blocking a guard's axe each as they did.
"We're a little outnumbered!" Leo said.
"And, I do not wish to harm these fine warriors!" Usagi added, blocking two slashes with his sword.
"Time to get outta here and rethink things." Leo decided, blocking two axes with his swords.
"You lead, I will follow." Usagi said.
Leo dodged a guard's slash, then sliced his axe in half with his swords, digging the end of it into the floor.
"AH!" the guard yelped, falling onto his back.
Leo jumped onto the axe, which boosted him up into the air, then he somersaulted across the room. Usagi ran towards the axe, then jumped onto it and dived into the air, landing beside Leo, who stood near a wall, who put his swords away.
"Stop them!" the Daimyo commanded. "Do not let them get away! Stop them!"
He fell back into his seat, as Gyoji turned to him, who then coughed.
Leo brought out his Shuko Spikes, putting them on, then he turned around and cut a hole in the wall with them. He and Usagi turned around and jumped out through the hole, as the guards charged at them.
"NO!" the Daimyo exclaimed.
The guards stopped near the hole, then three of them looked down at the waterfall on the other side.
"No one can survive a fall from this height." one said.
"We must be sure of it!" another argued. "Come on!"
The guards all turned and ran away.
Unknown to them, Leo had dug his Shuko Spikes into the wall, as Usagi held onto his leg. Leo began climbing up the wall, as Usagi turned to the water below, then back to Leo.
They both soon approached an open window, then jumped onto its edge.
"I'm beginning to think hanging out with you is turning me more Ninja than Samurai, Leonardo-san." Usagi said. "All this sneaking about?"
"We have to steal the Daimyo's Warstaff." Leo realized.
"And we must help the Daimyo." Usagi added. "Clearly, he is under some kind of spell. At the very least, he is not himself."
"Double the watch on all levels!" a voice commanded.
"Shh." Leo shushed, his finger over his mouth.
"Check this wing and report in!" the voice ordered.
Leo and Usagi looked down a hallway, then jumped into it and ran across it.
A little later, two guards walked down a hallway with tapestries, then stopped when they saw a hallway on either side of them, along with a third guard. All three guards then turned and walked down a separate hallway, while unknown to them, Leo was clinging to the ceiling. He let go of it and landed on the floor crouched down, then he looked around, seeing no guards around. He then motioned Usagi over, who hid in the doorway on his right, before running over to him.
They both soon came to a doorway, where on the other side, had two cloaked guards. Leo then grabbed one and pulled him into the room, as the other turned around.
"AH!" the first yelped.
Usagi grabbed the second as he turned around, then pulled him into the room, then both he and Leo began beating up both guards.
"AGGHH!" they moaned. "AH! OH!"
Soon, in the Daimyo's chamber, the Daimyo was asleep in his seating area, as three cloaked guards stood near him. The Daimyo snored as the door opened, then Leo and Usagi came in, wearing the cloaks from the guards they'd knocked out, while also carrying axes. They both approached the three guards, then stopped near them, the hoods covering their faces.
"We've been sent to relieve you." Leo said.
"But our watch isn't over yet." one of the guards argued.
"It is now!" Leo said, hitting one in the chest with the pole end of his axe.
Usagi did the same with another, then they both lifted the guards up with the ends of their axes, and threw them across the room. Leo turned and threw his axe at the third, who caught it, then Leo grabbed the axe, then bent down onto his shell, pulling the guard with him, throwing him across the room.
"AGHH!" the guard moaned, hitting the floor on his back.
Leo and Usagi turned to each other, then Usagi threw his axe down, before they both approached the Warstaff. They stopped near it and turned to the Daimyo, who snored a little.
"Where...my son...my son." he mumbled.
Leo and Usagi lowered their hoods, then Leo moved to pick up the Warstaff, when a light shined near them. They both turned, as Gyoji showed up from the light.
"Leonardo..?" he said.
"I don't wanna hurt you, Gyoji." Leo warned quietly, pointing at him. "But we have to have the Warstaff."
"Shh." Gyoji said, putting his hand over his mouth area. "I wish to help you. Take the Warstaff and follow me."
Leo turned and picked up the Warstaff, then he and Usagi both ran quietly after Gyoji.
They soon entered a room as a door opened up, then Gyoji moved into it, followed by Leo and Usagi, who then stopped as Gyoji turned to them.
"I have witnessed the malaise that has befallen my master, and I have heard your story, Master Leonardo." Gyoji explained. "Something is not right. Something must be done, and I will help you do it."
His paddle lit up as he waved it around, showing a scrying window projection portal.
"Use the staff. Concentrate on your missing father." Gyoji said. "Call him to you."
Leo held up the Warstaff as it lit up, sending energy from it.
"The staff will do the rest." Gyoji assured.
Leo closed his eyes as he concentrated, gritting as he did. "AH!" he gritted. "Master Splinter..?! Master Splinter, where are you?!"
The scrying window showed the castle's dungeon.
"Why, that is the dungeon, in this very castle?" Gyoji gasped.
The scrying window showed Splinter strapped to a table against a wall, shocking Leo and Usagi.
"Master Splinter? No?!" Leo gasped.
"Concentrate, Leonardo." Gyoji instructed.
Leo held the Warstaff, then Splinter began to fade away as he remained strapped to the table.
"AH!" Leo gritted.
Splinter stopped phasing away, making Leo open his eyes.
"Huh? It didn't work? What did I do wrong?" he gasped, as the image faded from the mirror.
"I do not know." Gyoji said honestly. "Perhaps you will have better luck summoning one of your siblings."
He waved his paddle around.
"Try again, Leonardo." Gyoji said.
Leo aimed the Warstaff at the scrying window, then energy came out of it, making the scrying mirror show Megatropolis, home of the Super Turtles.
(Megatropolis)
Mikey and the Super Turtles all stared at Mayor O'Neil.
"Mayor O'Neil, the Super Turtles will stop him." Graviturtle promised.
Mikey approached him.
"That sounds pretty wicked." he said. "Can I come?"
He began to phase away, making him look at his hands.
"Whoa!" he yelped. "It's happening again! I'm in flux!"
He saw Leo, Usagi and Gyoji as he kept phasing away.
"This is it. I'm going home." he whooped, waving. "Thanks for everything. Bye. Bye, now."
He stopped phasing away, as Mayor O'Neil and the Super Turtles stared at him.
"Uh..." he said, touching his arm. "Guess, I'm staying."
(Battle Nexus)
Leo opened his eyes, as the scrying window went blank.
"Perhaps your mind is unsettled in some way." Gyoji suggested. "Try again. You must concentrate harder, Leonardo."
Leo closed his eyes as energy came from the Warstaff, then the scrying window showed Shelldor.
(Shelldor)
Cath sat in Logai's hut, as Logai, the village Chief, Watick and Talbo stared at her.
"Master Logai, do you have a way to send her back?" Watick asked.
"Hmm? I don't know." Logai sighed. "I'm sorry, Catharina."
Cath sighed, before she began to phase away.
"Huh?" she gasped. "What the shell?"
The four male turtles backed away as she got up, then she began to see Leo, Usagi and Gyoji.
"Maybe that's your ticket home." Watick said.
"Well, if it is, goodbye I guess." Cath said.
She then stopped phasing away, making her look at her hands, then stared at the four turtles.
"Oh, shell!" she cursed.
"Looks like you're stuck here." the Chief sighed.
(Battle Nexus)
Leo opened his eyes, as the scrying window stopped showing Shelldor.
"I don't get it." Leo said. "It's not working!"
"Don't give up, Leonardo." Gyoji said. "You must try again."
Leo closed his eyes as energy came out of the Warstaff, the scrying window showed Laotora 4's ice area.
(Laotora 4)
Raph raced his Planet Racer bike along a mountain side road, as Falcon sat behind him. Raph then began to phase away, causing his hands to go through the pedals.
"Uh! This isn't good!" he gasped, looking at his hands, before he tried to grab the pedals again. "It's like I'm fading away!"
"We're drifting! Get control!" Falcon exclaimed.
"I...I can't!" Raph panicked. "I can't grab hold of the bars!"
He began to see Leo, Usagi and Gyoji as he kept phasing away.
"Raph, look out!" Falcon yelled.
Raph stopped seeing Leo, Usagi and Gyoji, before the bike went over the edge of the road.
"AGHH!" Raph and Falcon yelled.
(Battle Nexus)
"Raph, no!" Leo cried, opening his eyes.
The scrying window stopped showing Laotora 4.
"You must concentrate harder, Leonardo." Gyoji said. "Clearing your mind might help."
Leo closed his eyes as energy came out of the Warstaff, then the scrying window showed the horrible future New York Donnie had been sent to.
(Future New York)
In an area of the city that lay in ruins, Shredder's helmet appeared on the neon signs, while a statue of Shredder stood in the square.
"Beware what you do?" Karai warned. "The Shredder is watching. Always watching."
A manhole cover was lifted up, then Donnie climbed out of it.
"Where are all the people?" he asked, seeing no one around.
"You mean the ones that survived?" Mikey asked, getting out.
They both ran off towards some trees and into Central Park.
"They're forced to work 18-hour days in the Shredder's labour camps." Mikey explained. "No one's allowed out at night."
Donnie began to phase away, making him stop, as he began to see Leo, Usagi and Gyoji. He then stopped seeing them however, then saw Mikey running towards a tunnel bridge.
"What the shell?" he said, as he stopped phasing away.
He shook his head and ran after Mikey.
(Battle Nexus)
"Ah!" Leo sighed, opening his eyes.
The scrying window stopped showing the future New York.
"You must try again, Leonardo." Gyoji said. "Try to save at least one of them."
Leo closed his eyes as energy cam out of the Warstaff, then the scrying window showed the place Elisa had been sent do, showing the wagon camp.
(Elisa's area)
Elisa stood far away from the wagon camp, staring at the horizon.
"I hope the guys are okay." she thought.
She began phasing away, shocking her as she looked at her hands, then began to see Leo, Usagi and Gyoji.
"Huh? What the shell?" she gasped.
She then stopped phasing away, seeing the horizon again, making her shake her head confused.
(Battle Nexus)
Leo opened his eyes and stared at the scrying window, which then vanished.
"I failed again." he said. "I don't get it?! I just don't get it?!"
He turned to Gyoji.
"I was so close, I could feel them." he said.
"It is not your fault." Gyoji said, touching his hand, before taking the Warstaff. "Someone very powerful is blocking your attempts, and is enjoying watching you suffer thus."
"What?" Leo questioned, shocked by Gyoji's tone.
"Enjoying it very much." Gyoji said.
Usagi moved closer to Leo, who turned to him, both confused.
"Relishing at your pain and frustration." Gyoji continued, his voice changing as it got deeper. "Taking pleasure from your..."
His face changed into a nasty grin.
"..absolute ignorance!" he smirked.
Leo and Usagi backed away as he laughed evilly, then his mask cracked, followed by his body, showing he was Ultimate Drako in disguise, laughing with both voices, as he held his arms out.
"We have enjoyed watching you suffer, Leonardo!" Ultimate Darko snarled. "As we have enjoyed watching your rat master suffer, and bringing Usagi here is an extra gift to us."
Leo held his swords out, while Usagi gritted his teeth while holding one of his.
"He shall rule the day he returned to my Battle Nexus!" Ultimate Drako roared.
"The Battle Nexus will never be yours, villain!" Usagi roared, as he and Leo took their disguises off.
Leo jumped up towards Ultimate Drako, who spun around and whacked him with his lower right arm, knocking him away.
"AGH!" Leo yelled.
He landed on his feet, then Ultimate Drako turned around, as Usagi jumped up and dived towards him.
"HYAH!" he yelled.
Ultimate Drako moved away as Usagi tried to slash him with both swords, making him miss, then Usagi flipped forward through the air, before landing on the floor on his feet. Leo and Usagi both then looked up at Ultimate Drako, as he put the Time Scepter and the Warstaff together, making energy come out of both of them, which hit both Leo and Usagi.
"AGH!" they yelped, as they froze soiled in mid-air.
"Pathetic creatures. I command both the Daimyo's Warstaff and Lord Simultaneous' Time Scepter!" Ultimate Drako snarled, raising them both up. "I am a God!"
He aimed both staffs at the floor, making energy come from them both.
In a harsh rocky desert, Leo and Usagi showed up in the middle of four bulky gladiators, all holding weapons, three with swords, the four with a mallet.
"Where has fiend sent us?!" Usagi questioned.
"I don't know, but it can't be good." Leo said.
A purple gust of wind blew towards them both, then began blowing around them and the warriors, trapping them all. Leo and Usagi brought out their weapons, then began to circle around while back-to-back.
"Usagi, I'm sorry I got you into this." Leo said.
"Do not say such a thing, my brother." Usagi said. "I stand by you no matter what happens."
Two of the warriors charged at them both, then they both tried to slash them, but Leo blocked ones sword with both his own, while Usagi did the same with the other. Leo then slashed the sword of the one he was facing, knocking him away.
Usagi glared at one of the warriors, then jumped as it tried to slash him in the legs with his sword. He then locked his swords with the warrior's, gritting as he did, then the warrior lifted his sword up, while Usagi's remained locked with it, before Usagi hit him with his shoulder, knocking him away.
"AH!" the warrior moaned.
Leo stared at the other two with swords, then he jumped sideways to his left to dodge ones sword, then he blocked the other's with his own.
"AGHH!" he gritted.
He lifted his swords up, when the fourth warrior hit him in the shell with his mace.
"AGH!" Leo yelled.
"Ah!" Usagi gasped, turning around.
He jumped towards Leo, then hit a warrior's sword with both his own, as Leo rolled away, then Usagi put his feet on the ground and kicked the warrior away. Another then came at him with a mallet, then whacked him in the back with it, knocking him away.
"AGH!" Usagi moaned.
He went flying away, hitting the ground on his chest.
"AH!" he moaned.
Leo pulled himself up and turned to Usagi. "Usagi!" he gasped. "NOOO!"
He jumped towards Usagi and landed in front of him, as the four warriors all approached him. He then dodged to his left, while ducking down and turned around as one tried to whack him with his mallet. He then blocked another's sword with his own, then he spun around to slash the first, but missed as he dodged, then Leo kicked the first in the chest, knocking him down.
"OH!" the warrior moaned.
Leo turned to the other two as they came towards him, as Ultimate Drako watched from a nearby area.
"Soon, Leonardo will be destroyed!" he declared.
Leo dodged the third's sword, then ducked and turned around as the second tried to slash him. He then blocked the third's sword with his left one, before the fourth grabbed him by the chest and picked him up.
"Glorious!" Ultimate Drako said, holding up both the Time Secpter and the Warstaff, as energy came from them both. "Glorious!"
The ground cracked open beneath them, then the Daimyo rose up from it, still in his chair, looking tried.
"And now, no more distractions." Ultimate Drako said. "We must finish the Daimyo once and for all! His reign is at an end! He shall suffer horribly as he perishes!"
He raised both the Warstaff and Time Scepter over his head, as more energy came out of them.
Splinter then showed up on the ground, lying on his chest, then Ultimate Drako landed between him and the Daimyo.
"First, the Daimyo will perish, and then the rat!" Ultimate Drako declared.
He laughed evilly, as the Daimyo mumbled and moaned.
"M...My son?" he said, opening his eyes as he looked up. "Is that you? I thought I heard your voice?"
"Father?" Ue-Sama said.
"Is that sentiment I heard in your voice?!" Drako snarled.
"He looks so...frail." Ue-Sama said, moving his head to Drako's.
"Do not soften on me now!" Drako sneered, as Splinter woke up. "He must be destroyed!"
"Must he?" Ue-Sama inquired. "We have all we want. We have power! We have the Warstaff."
He turned to his father.
"He is no longer a threat. He is old and weak." Ue-Sama said. "We could let him live in exile."
"We haven't come this far, to simply let the Daimyo live." Drako snarled. "He must suffer! He must pay! All must pay, now!"
Ultimate Drako raised both the Warstaff and Time Scepter up, as Splinter got up and jumped towards him.
"NOOO!" he yelled.
He grabbed the Warstaff, making Ultimate Drako wave his arm around, but Splinter managed to keep hold of it, then rested his feet on it.
"You shall not harm him!" Splinter roared. "No more destruction! No more!"
Ultimate Drako slammed Splinter down onto the ground, while he kept hold of the Warstaff.
"AGH!" Splinter moaned.
"Fool!" Ultimate Drako snarled, lifting the Warstaff up, as Splinter kept hold of it.
He turned around and whacked Splinter on the ground again.
"Have you so soon forgotten..?!" he snarled, banging Splinter against a rock. "..who is master of this race?!"
He banged Splinter against the ground.
"OH!" Splinter moaned.
"We hold the power!" Ultimate Drako snarled, lifting Splinter up, who kept hold of the Warstaff. "We command the-"
The Watstaff began to send energy out of itself, as Splinter kept hold of it.
"What?! He has activated the Warstaff?!" Ue-Sama exclaimed. "NOO!"
"My children?!" Splinter called though his head. "My children?!"
(Megatropolis)
Mikey stood by the Sliver's cage in Sliver's tower, staring at the Nullificator, as he began to phase away, making him look at his arms.
"Oh, no! Not now?" he gasped.
Later, he stood near the steps to Sliver's throne, as the Super Turtles - expect Shellaport - all jumped towards him, while Shellaport vanished in a puff of smoke, then reappeared behind him, as he began to phase away faster.
"Sorry, guys." he said, as Shellectro landed near him. "Looks like I'm already one my way outta this world. If they write a comic about this..."
He put his fists on his hips.
"..make sure they call me the Turtle Titian?!" he requested, raising his arms up.
His voice echoed just before he vanished.
(Harsh desert)
"Please, come to me, my children?!" Splinter begged.
(Shelldor)
Cath stood in the Chief's hut, with the Chief, his family, Logai, Watick, Parra, Talbo and Larose.
"Thanks, Catharina, for everything." the Chief said.
Cath smiled, before she began to phase away again.
"Huh? Again?!" she gasped, looking at her hands.
The Chief, his wife, daughters, Logai and the others all stared at him.
"And it's stronger this time!" she gasped. "Guess I'm leaving."
"Thank you, Catharina, for everything." the Chief said.
"It was my pleasure, Chief." Cath assured.
"It's been nice knowing you." Watick said.
"And an honour too." Parra said, saluting.
"Thanks. Goodbye, everyone." Cath said, waving.
She then vanished as her voice echoed throughout the hut.
(Harsh desert)
"Come to me, my children?!" Splinter thought, begging.
(Laotora 4)
Raph raced his Planet Racer bike past the finish line, then pulled it to a stop.
"Yes! Team Fitts takes the cup, in the U.S.P.R.A Charity Race Event!" Bloe announced.
Raph and Falcon held their arms up triumphantly, as Methaina, Muk and the rest of the crowd cheered.
Raph and Falcon jumped off their bike and stared at each other, then they took their helmets off.
"Way to win a race, partner." Falcon said, as they shook hands.
Raph then began to phase away again, shocking them both.
"Hey, it's...it's happening again? It's pulling me away from here." Raph gasped.
Falcon gasped. "Raph, listen. Just remember that, if you do nothing else in your life, you were once a Planet Racer." he said. "Not everyone can say that."
"And you remember, race with honour?" Raph asked, touching his shoulder.
He then vanished.
(Harsh desert)
"My children?!" Splinter begged.
(Future New York)
Donnie approached April sadly in the Shredder's palace, as his siblings and Karai lay dead in the room.
"My siblings. My poor siblings. This world..." he sighed, turning to her. "..this future...it's a nightmare."
"It was a nightmare, Don. But you, Leo, Raph, Elisa, Cath and Mikey..." April explained, as he closed his eyes. "..you gave us back our future."
Donnie began to phase away again, shocking him as he looked at himself.
"April, it's happening again!" he gasped. "Something's pulling me away! It's stronger this time! AGHH!"
He then vanished, leaving April alone.
(Harsh desert)
"Come to me, my children?!" Splinter begged. "Please?"
(Elisa's area)
Elisa walked away from the village, as Ash, Bert and Vixie all followed her.
"I'm sorry Mace wasn't able to send you home, Elisa." Ash said, touching her shoulder.
"It's okay, Ash." Elisa sighed. "I'll find a way back. I've got to. My family needs me."
She then began to phase away again, shocking them all, making Ash let go of her.
"It's happening again!" she gasped, turning around. "And it's stronger!"
"Elisa, I just want you to know, it was an honor to fight alongside you." Bert said, as his friends nodded.
"The honor was mine, Bert." Elisa assured.
She then vanished.
(Harsh desert)
"You are needed! Now more than ever!" Splinter thought.
Energy came out of the Warstaff, which then created a portal nearby.
"My children!" Splinter thought. "My children?! My children?!"
Ultimate Drako looked at the portal, before Raph, Elisa, Donnie, Cath and Mikey all fell through it.
"Whoa!" they yelped, before landing crouched down. "Ah!"
Splinter opened his eyes and stared at his children, as they looked around. (Cath was between Donnie and Mikey, while Elisa was on Raph's left)
"What the shell?!" Raph questioned.
"Okay...that was weird." Elisa admitted.
"Mikey! Raph! Girls!" Donnie cried, hugging Raph and Mikey tight. "You're all young, and alive?! And Mikey, you have both arms?"
He touched Mikey's hands, before turning to Cath.
"And Cath, you have your normal legs?" he said happily.
"Good to see you too Donnie, I think." Mikey said.
"Uh, Don, you okay?" Cath asked, confused.
"What have you done, rat?!" Ultimate Drako roared, lifting Splinter and the Warstaff up. "What have you done?!"
He banged Splinter on the ground, then lifted him up, as the five Turtles turned to him.
"Whoa?! Enough reunion. Master Splinter's in trouble!" Raph exclaimed. "Come on!"
"I'm with you, bro." Elisa said.
All five Turtles charged at Ultimate Drako, who turned around to them.
"Obstinate rodent!" he snarled. "Let go?!"
He began banging Splinter against the ground.
"AGH!" he moaned.
He kept hold of the Warstaff, as Ultimate Drako raised it up, while his five children kept charging forward.
"Hyah!" they yelled, jumping up.
They all punched Ultimate Drako in the chest with both feet, causing him to let go of the Warstaff, while also falling onto his back.
"NOOO! My Warstaff!" he exclaimed, as Splinter and the Warstaff hit the ground.
"Uh!" Splinter moaned.
Ultimate Drako then dropped the Time Scepter, which hit the ground.
"My Time Scepter!" he exclaimed.
Raph kept hold of Drako's mouth, while Donnie and Cath kept hold of his left wing, while Mikey and Raph kept hold of his right one.
"NO!" he exclaimed, whacking Raph away. "NO!"
He whacked Mikey and Elisa away, then whacked Cath away.
"NO!" he exclaimed, wrapping his tail around Donnie, lifting him up.
He then threw Donnie away.
"AGH!" he yelled.
Ultimate Drako turned to the Time Scepter, as Donnie got up.
"We have to keep the Time Scepter out of his hands?!" he called.
"Right!" Elisa called.
She ran towards the Time Scepter - as she was nearest - then kicked it away, making Ultimate Drako stop and look around. Elisa then picked it up and tossed it to Raph, who caught it, then held it up with Mikey.
"Yo, ugly?!" Raph called, getting Ultimate Drako's attention. "Looking for this?"
Splinter stepped forward and held the Warstaff up, as Cath came up behind him.
"You fools!" Ultimate Drako spat. "There is no way you can defeat us! You do not have the power to use the Warstaff or the Time Scepter!"
"Perhaps not, but you will never get your hands on them again!" Splinter barked. "I swear it! I-"
The Warstaff began to power up, getting Cath to back away from it.
"What the shell?!" she exclaimed.
A blast fired from the Warstaff, then another fired from the Time Scepter, as Raph and Mikey held it up, just as Elisa came near them.
"Whoa!" she gasped.
Both energy blasts hit each other over Ultimate Drako.
"What sorcery is this?!" he exclaimed.
"Master Splinter..?" Mikey said.
"What's going on?" Raph asked.
"I do not know!" Splinter answered honestly. "I-"
More energy began to come out of the Warstaff.
"Sensei!" Cath cried, worriedly.
More energy came out of the Time Scepter, making Elisa move away slightly from Raph and Mikey.
"AGHH!" they yelled, as they got lifted into the head.
"AGH!" Splinter grunted, as the Warstaff lifted him up.
"Father!" Cath cried worriedly, looking up.
"Hold on, my sons!" Splinter called. "Hold on!"
Leo and Usagi stood with their backs together in the windy arena, as the four warriors came towards them.
"They just keep coming, Usagi!" Leo grunted, as they blocked a weapon each with their swords.
"Then we will just keep fighting, Leonardo!" Usagi grunted, as they sent slashes with their swords.
More warriors began to approach the ones near Leo and Usagi. They both then sent a slash at one, just as all the warriors vanished, confusing them both.
"Huh?" Leo muttered.
The wind around them both then vanished, showing they were in the Battle Nexus arena.
"We're back?" Leo questioned.
Splinter kept hold of the Warstaff, while Raph and Mikey both kept hold of the Time Scepter, as both staffs kept sending energy beams into Ultimate Drako.
"This should not be possible!" he exclaimed.
They all got transported into the Daimyo's chamber, along with the Daimyo.
"You do not have the power?!" Ultimate Drako exclaimed.
Black smoke beams began to come out of him.
"AGHHHH!" he yelled painfully.
He then separated back into Drako and Ue-Sama, then Drako growled while staring at himself.
"I don't understand?" he questioned, as he started to turn to stone. "How can this be? NO! NOO! NOOOO-"
He fully turned to stone, cutting him off.
"Father?" Ue-Sama said, turning to him while getting up. "Father, forgive me? I-"
He turned to stone as he held his left hand out. His and Drako's stone forms then fell onto the floor and smashes to pieces.
"My son?" the Daimyo said, opening his eyes. "Did I hear my son? What is going on here?"
Donnie, Cath and Elisa all came into the room, as energy stopped coming from the Warstaff and Time Scepter, causing Splinter, Raph and Mikey to fall to the ground. They all landed on their feet, just as Leo and Usagi came in.
"Master Splinter? You're alright?" Leo cheered, running towards him. "You're all okay?"
Donnie and the girls ran towards him, while Mikey and Raph stared at them.
"Leo?!" Cath cried happily, hugging him tight.
"Um, Sensei, what the shell just happened?" Mikey asked, looking at the Time Scepter. "How did we do that?"
"I...I truly do not know." Splinter answered honestly.
A bright light then appeared in front of them all, before it turned into Lord Simultaneous.
"It's quite simple, really." he said, before he pulled the scepter from Mikey's hand telekinetically.
"Ah!" Mikey yelped.
"It's like I told your children here when I met them the last time." Lord Simultaneous explained, grabbing his scepter. "This Time Scepter has a mind of its own. It read everyone's thoughts, weighed good against evil, and set everything to right, with a little help from the Warstaff."
He turned around to the Daimyo.
"Did you get that?" Elisa asked Cath quietly.
"Some." Cath mumbled, confused.
"What a horrible mess." Lord Simultaneous sighed. "No one ever learns."
He lowered himself down to the floor.
"I get so tired cleaning up after megalomaniacs and madmen." he sighed.
"No." the Daimyo cried softly. "No. My son. No."
Lord Simultaneous stared at him, before he turned to the Turtles, Splinter and Usagi.
"Let me show you the true and good powers of the Time Scepter, controlled by the right hands." he said.
He waved his scepter over the stoned remains of Ue-Sama, turning him into his old child self. He shook his head in confusion, before seeing his father.
"Father? Father?!" he called, running towards him. "I had the most horrible nightmare!"
He jumped onto the Daimyo's shoulder and cried.
"Oh, father?" he cried.
He pulled back as Daimyo looked at him.
"My son? Oh, my son." he said, hugging him tight. "Do not cry. I too had a horrible nightmare, but it is over now. It's alright. It's all going to be alright."
Lord Simultaneous turned to Splinter, Usagi and the Turtles.
"And it's high-time I put you all back where you belong." he said. "You've given me quite a headache, fleading all over time and creation like that."
"Usagi, thank you." Leo said.
He and Usagi turned and bowed to each other.
"Leonardo, it is a great honor to be your friend." Usagi said, as they raised their heads.
"Until we meet again, Usagi-san, farewell." Splinter said.
They all vanished in a bright light.
Splinter and the Turtles all showed up in their lair near the TVs, as Klunk jumped off the couch, while Casey came over.
"Where the heck did you guys go?" he asked. "I've been looking for ya for at least ten minutes."
"Ten minutes?" Elisa questioned.
"Yeah. You guys been goofing on me?" Casey asked. "Is this some kind of game like high and seek or something?"
"Yeah. Something like that." Raph said.
"Let's just say that, it's good to be home." Leo said.
"It sure is." Cath agreed.
