It's a normal day in New York City as everyone is in the city. "Guys, guys, get a photo of me dropping a Hibernator on Big Spikey, a-and Big Blinky, and Jolly Green Torch Guy!"
Raph falls in front of his brothers, the girls, Splinter, Baron Draxum, and Chewbacon, knocking into the trash can. All of its contents land on everyone except April somehow. Ann chuckles at him while Amy pinches her nose. Raph's wearing his grey hoodie while Splinter is wearing his Randall outfit. Leo, Amy, Donnie, and Mikey are wearing hoodies in their favorite colors while the other three girls are wearing the clothes they always wear. Draxum has a coat and cloak over him.
"Do you know anything about the city you live in?" Amy asks him in disbelief. "And Raph, gross." She examines herself, gagging. "The fact you even wanna do that move is stupid."
"It is not stupid," Raph defends, pointing at her. "I could drop a Hibernator on you any day and I'd beat you any time!"
"Yeah, sure, you could beat her in a fight. Like the time you beat her in a dance fight or the time you beat her in an air hockey game, or the time-"
"Donnie, I get it!" Raph shouts at him.
"This family needs to learn more about its hometown," April deadpans, opening up her bag. "Which is why I entered us in a city-wide photo scavenger hunt! And we're gonna win!"
Amy gasps sharply at something on the list. "Coney Island! Yes!" She pumps a fist, earning looks from everyone else. "What? I can get excited about stuff."
"Hey big sis, if we win, will you make us a cake?" Mikey looks up at her.
"We'll see. There are 11 of us after all," Amy picks up Chewbacon.
"Are you sure you can trust your mom to run the shop while you're gone?" Leo raises a brow at his girlfriend, who winces at the thought.
"Not really, but it's not like I had much of a choice. All of us are already here..."
"Don't worry, I got my parents helping you out," April grins, an arm around Amy's shoulder. The brunette sighs in relief.
Mikey looks at the list while they take the elevator back down. "So what do we win when we win?"
"Street cred," Splinter nudges him slightly to his annoyance. "The only currency that matters in this city!"
"And we'll do it with our special brand of teamwork," Leo states up front. "Remember, my brothers do the work, but we share equal credit."
Draxum is examining the camera when it goes off and he tries to catch it. "Can we hurry this along? I left Sloppy Joseph in charge of my kitchen."
Sloppy Joseph is heating burritos, but they explode and the microwave spews them out. Sloppy Joseph slides into the messy kitchen with liquid on the floor and something from the oven on fire.
"Yeah, that's on you, Barry," April tells him.
"She's got a point," Amy quips, hands in her pockets.
Suddenly everything turns red outside as everyone stops in shock. They look up towards a white orb that turns pure black. Red and black lightning strikes from it, and then the same shadows from Shadow Fiend start to overtake the city. Everyone screams in fear as a clawed hand reaches out to a little girl. And then suddenly, all of the citizens are gone without a trace.
The elevator opens, with the 11 unaware of what just happened. "Okay team—what?!" Raph opens his eyes to see the deserted street. "Wait a second..." He notices empty vehicles, including a pizza delivery scooter, and the red sky.
"Donnie, what'd you do?" Leo asks slowly as laughter is heard.
"Big Mama?!" The turtles and Amy all exclaim from the voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Holographic screens appear to show Big Mama. "It's the moment you've been waiting for! My long-promised fantastic whiz-bang!" The magic spreads out all the way to the bridge as the orb lifts up above them. "Battle Nexus New York!"
"I'm sorry, wiz-bang New York what what what?" Donnie asks in confusion.
"Smile, turtley-boos and Amelia-welia! My blood-thirsty audience paid top-century dollar to watch you get destroyed by Battle Nexus Champions!" She smiles evilly as Amy glares at her.
"Uh, we didn't sign up for this!" Leo calls out as Amy steps forward.
"Yeah, so turn everything back and leave New York alone, you bitch!" She grits her teeth.
"Did April sign us up for this?" Leo turns to Mikey.
"Hmm, April, did you-" Mikey stops short as he sees that the three girls, Splinter, and Draxum are all gone. "Wait, what have you done with April? And Draxum? And Dad? And Ann? And Princess Peach?!"
"Not to worry," Big Mama touches her glasses, which glint. "The people of New York are in the palm of my hand. All properly pacified inside this mystic thingamajig," She holds up the same orange-like orb that she asked Shadow Fiend to guard.
Inside the orange orb, everyone in New York is on a cruise ship, relaxing. "I could sit by this pool forever! And not ask a single question about how I got here," April smiles as she leans against a beach chair.
"Yeah, this is so relaxing..." Lily sighs in bliss.
"Now I know what true relaxion is," Ann slides back in her chair.
"Ah! These rays!" Draxum complains since he doesn't have sunglasses...or even know how to wear them. "Where does one put your opendulous cranial shield?" He then notices mutants with humans down one row, and the same thing with the other.
"Howdy stranger!" Todd pops up in front of him wearing sunglasses. Draxum flinches in surprise as he feels like he knows him. "Would you like some lemonade? I always make enough for new friends!"
"Thank you, shaggy rodent," He takes a cup and has a sip, eyes widening as he knows the taste.
At the Evil League of Mutants meeting, Todd had offered some lemonade. "Lemonade!"
He had a sip along with the other villains.
Draxum spits out his lemonade, looking at the cup. "This lemon liquid...you're Todd!" He points his finger at Todd's nose. "I remember you! Wait...I know this mind-pacifying magic!"
At Big Mama's train station, he gave her the same orange orb and she took it.
"Big Mama is behind this!" He exclaims in realization.
"Your task is simple: defeat my champions, and you win your city back," Big Mama rubs the orb delicately. "Fail, and you lose it all!"
"What?!" Leo and Mikey exclaim in unison.
"Oh hell no!" Amy exclaims, rolling up her sleeves. "My mother's in that thing! And Carol and Elena! I'm not doing whatever this is just to please you!"
The turtles come over and hold her back from attacking the screen, since...it's a screen.
"I have only one question: how dare you?" Donnie accuses her.
"It's okay, guys. Mellie, calm down," Raph tries to assure them as she stops fighting them, huffing angrily. "Leo, go help her."
"I know you're worried about them, but if we don't do what she says, she'll never release everyone," He pats her back sympathetically.
"She's doing this with no regret just to see us get killed!" She hisses quietly, pointing at the screen. "I can't believe Splinter once wanted to marry this psychotic woman."
"Ugh, don't remind me," Leo holds his stomach, not wanting to get sick. Amy grunts in defeat.
"Fine, but I'm only doing this for my family and friends. But I have a question: if you trapped the whole city in there, then why am I here?"
"Because of your fighting skills and that quick, feisty temper of yours," Big Mama points down at her. "It's simply scrumptiously-scrambulent!"
"Keep talking like that, and you'll get a personal taste of it," Amy narrows her eyes.
"But we've got this. As long as the Mad Dogs are together, we can teamwork through anything!" Raph declares as they stand together.
Big Mama just giggles at this. "Why, of course you silly-billies can work together. Just not how you think," She snaps her fingers and one by one, they're all taken away by blue swirls.
"Ames, no!" Leo calls out as she holds out a hand.
"Papi!"
Suddenly, they're gone, and there's no one left in the city...
Raph appears by himself on the Brooklyn Bridge, a chain around his arm. It tugs and he looks up to see white fur.
"Ghostbear?" He's tugging at his chain with his teeth, but it's no use. They try to slip them off, but they're pretty tight. A club slams on the road in front of them and they look up to see a giant furry yokai with sharp teeth and yellow eyes. Big Mama on the screen is hovering over them.
"Each of you is linked to an enemy. And you'll need to work together to complete a challenge against one of my Battle Nexus Champions!" Mikey is linked to Meat Sweats, Leo is linked to Carl from the Sando Brothers, Donnie is linked to Hypno, and Amy is linked to Foot Recruit.
"Enjoy wrestling my Troll!" Big Mama announces to Raph and Ghostbear. Troll loves bridges, slaying...and picking fights on the internet. Troll slams a car with its club. "Lose, and I'll add your flattened body-boos to my rug collection."
Raph's eyes shine at the enemy he's linked to. "I'm tag-team partners with Ghostbear?" He gasps sharply while the mutant bear looks annoyed. "Thank you, Big Mama!"
Mind Amy comes up and slaps him across the face. "Idiota, how many times do we have to remind you that he's the bad guy?!"
Ghostbear tries to use his powers, but the restraints must block off anything mystic, because he gets electrocuted.
"Oh, flumpy poo. The only way to break your bonds is to win...or die," She has an evil grin on her face.
Mikey and Meat Sweats are at the arena, their legs linked together. "You two must satisfy my two-headed snake's endless appetite." Amphisbaena is a two-headed snake that loves to share meals and sunsets. "Or it's you chefs that will become lunch."
Meat Sweats looks nervous while Mikey's eyes shine like Raph's. "I get to team up with my favorite celebrity chef?! Thank you, Big Mama!"
Mind Amy appears again, annoyed. "I guess you get it from Raph, but if I must get two turtles to snap out of it..." She flicks Mikey on the forehead and he rubs it. "He's the enemy!"
"Did you not hear the handsome grand eon sky?"
"Sure did," He wraps an arm around the pig. "We're in trouble, baby!"
Meat Sweats grunts in annoyance.
The next one is Sprite, who is voted most likely to kill the class clown. However...she's very tiny as Leo pokes her, laughing.
"This is your champion? You forgot to add water!" He laughs again, pumping a fist. "Burn! Nailed it! Ames is gonna love that one."
Sprite flies into the air, surrounding the Statue of Liberty. She then enters the ear and takes control of the statue.
The two cringe as she towers over them, narrowing her eyes. They both let out a fearful scream and Carl holds up Leo.
"Eat the turtle! He's crunchy!"
Big Mama appears next to the statue. "My Sprite has never smiled and has a wicked temper. Make her laugh or she'll burn you worse than a well-timed joke, pun intended!"
"Make her laugh?" Leo grins, hands on his hips. "That's my thing! I make my girlfriend laugh all the time...even if it's unintentional." He clears his throat. "Hey, you know why sharks don't eat clowns? They taste funny, eh?" He sounds off a little horn and Carl groans at the joke. Sprite's eye twitches.
Hypno and Donnie are in Central Park, their arms tied together. They're sitting in front of a chess board and a yokai. Big Mama appears in the center.
"Cortex is the smartest yokai in the Hidden City...and the cruelest. Lose and he keeps the turtle in his collection of game pieces!"
Cortex has also never lost and has no friends...
"Scooch over, Hypno. Chess is my domain," Donnie brags before a purple aura surrounds him. He suddenly disappears from his seat.
"Oh no."
Donnie turns into the white chess pieces in front of Hypno. "Well played, Big Mama!"
"Oh no," Hypno replies more worriedly.
Amy and Foot Recruit are tied together by their legs, and they're at Smith's Sweets. However, there are two pillars, one with them on it, and the other with a lemon-colored, horned female bull yokai wearing a baking apron. "Oh, she did not tie me up to this psycho..." Amy grumbles underneath her breath. "Not to mention that this is my shop!"
"We must FOOD FIGHT TO THE DEATH!" Foot Recruit shouts, about to grab a stray bowl of batter.
"Bundy is the best baker in the Hidden City," Big Mama interrupts, surprising them both. Bundy can literally make any mind explode with her flavors...literally. "You two pretty-boos must work together to bake a cake in my likeness," She gestures to herself, enjoying Amy's disgust at the request. "Lose and I get to mutate the girl, and train her to become my next Battle Nexus Champion!" She holds up an oozesquito that she stole from Draxum.
"What?!" Amy exclaims at this, mouth open.
Big Mama snaps her fingers and the two girls are now in Smith's Sweets baking uniforms. "Ugh, how can you wear these drab clothes?" Foot Recruit looks at herself.
"It's supposed to be representing my business, and you shut up about my uniforms," Amy warns her.
"If any of you somehow win your battle-y things, come to my hotel and set your people free," Big Mama states to all of them. Raph growls at the yokai in front of him and Ghostbear. "Do be sporty chaps and put on a fantastic show for us!" She walks up to the balcony that overlooks the viewing room of the Battle Nexus. "My subscribers are paying me a fortune to watch you all suffer. Now, on with Battle Nexus New York!"
The yokais in her hotel all cheer while being dressed up. Big Mama giggles evilly, lightly caressing the orb in her hand.
"Wow, Todd, this is the best lemonade ever!" April compliments him while Draxum is pacing around in front of the group. Ms. Santiago is relaxing just like everyone else, despite her mental illness. But because of the orb, it has her wanting to just kick back and enjoy the sun.
"You all must stop consuming this citrus paradise, and wake up! This is an illusion!" Draxum exclaims to them. Ann tilts up her sunglasses to raise a brow at him.
"What's got him so bent out of shape?"
"He probably just wants to get back to his kitchen," Lily whispers to her.
"I don't know," Splinter shrugs at his former enemy. "Todd's lemonade special tastes pretty real to me."
Brit slides up to them. "And magical! Can I buy the recipe?"
"No!" Draxum insists to them. "We are trapped inside Big Mama's mystic orb!" He pulls April's face forward. "Look at where we are, and who we're with. How did we get here? Where are the turtles and Amelia? Who even likes this little brat? I kicked him out for being annoying!"
"What?" Brit turns to him in confusion, sipping his lemonade.
"Well, I-I guess now that you mention it, it is a little odd," April agrees with Draxum since if their friends were here, they'd be enjoying this too.
"Stop trying to ruin a good thing, Draxum!" Splinter warns him. "I'm a parent of five teenagers, I need this!"
"Let us cheers to fun in the sun," Draxum holds up his drink to the sky and they clink their glasses together. "Observe!" He opens up his hand and pulls up images of the five battles.
"Our friends!" The girls exclaim in horror.
"My children!" Splinter shouts in worry.
"My BFFs!"
"My former allies turned enemies!" Brit holds his head and they either cry or run around in a panic.
"Told ya," Draxum casually sips his drink.
Troll lets out a roar. "Okay partner, here's our plan," Raph states to Ghostbear, who simply pushes him forward to the yokai. The linked chain pulls Raph back in time before he could get pummeled, thankfully. He crashes back into Ghostbear, standing up to confront him. "Hey! Ghostbear, why'd you push me?!"
"Lady said the game ends when Troll squishes you, not me!" He defends, letting out a scream as a shadow looms over them. Raph turns around to see Troll raising his club in the air right above their heads.
"No!" He pushes Ghostbear away as the club slams into the street.
Meat Sweats turns the knobs from the oven, turning it on. Meat slides onto the top and he spins his cleaver into his hand, cutting a bunch of fruits and veggies. "It's time to eat!" He flings food at his snake head, and it fills up the snake's mouth. Mikey, however, hasn't fed his snake head yet. "You might wanna hurry up there, laddie! Your snake head's looking awfully hungry!"
Mikey is taste testing his food as he turns around to his partner. "I'm blending as fast as I can!" He then starts putting in some more ingredients. "A dash of dillweed, a pinch of parsley flakes, just a touch of olive oil..."
The snake head that hasn't been fed yet starts to grow impatient, roaring. "Just feed the beasties!" Meat Sweats calls out. "They don't know the palette of fine cuisine!"
"Nuh uh uh," Mikey goes over to him. "It was your old cooking show that taught me flavor matters," He grins widely, a snake head looming over them.
"You know, it was just to sell my cookbooks!" Meat Sweats admits to the box turtle. The crowd cheers as they continue to watch.
"So, my sheep chiropractor told me I should try sleeping on my baaaack!" Leo jokes into a microphone, leaning against his sword. Sprite's eyes turn red and he drops the mic nervously.
"Uh oh. I've disappointed enough women in my life to know that face. We need to up our game here!" Carl shakes the turtle. "I thought you said you make your fake girlfriend laugh all the time!"
"Come on, I'm trying my best here! And Ames is as real as me! I didn't make that up!"
"Well, your best is terrible!" Carl argues to him and the two enemies glare at each other. "If my brother were here, we would've made her laugh by now!"
"Well, he's not," As they're fighting, Sprite stands up from her spot. "And neither are my brothers or my lady because Big Mama tied us up to jerks like you! And if we don't work together, we're all toast!" Sprite's mouth opens up as a blue orb forms from it.
"I don't care about your brothers or your girlfriend! They're stupid and she's ugly!"
Leo gasps sharply at the insults. "For Donnie and my lady's honor!" He's about to attack the mutant lobster when Sprite fires a large blue beam at them. They dodge her attacks while jumping around wildly.
"I hope Ames is okay," Leo murmurs to himself.
Hypno is staring at Cortex in the eye as the game of chess hasn't started. They continue this staredown before the mutant hippo looks at the game board.
"...I just wanted to say, full disclosure, I don't know the laws of this sport," He confesses after a few seconds.
"Oh, for the love of-!" The chess pieces jump around out of exasperation. Of course, the mutant who knows how to play chess is the chess pieces...
"Look, I'd rather get my wisdom teeth out than to do this BS, but if we wanna get out of this, then we have to work together like she said," Amy turns to her partner. "So just do what I say exactly, and we'll be fine."
"I don't take orders from you," Foot Recruit points at her chest. "Your cake will just taste less sweeter than the cake I will bake!"
"No!" Amy growls at her, smacking her hand away. "We make only one cake! Together! I'm more experienced, so we're going with MY plan! You go get the dry stuff, and I'll get the liquids!"
They run around to get the ingredients, trying to say in range of each other so that they don't fall. "What the-?! Horseradish?! Are you trying to get me mutated?!" Amy exclaims at the jar. Foot Recruit smirks a bit, earning a glare. Amy quickly puts in the basic ingredients, stirring furiously.
"We have to work together on this!" Raph exclaims to Ghostbear while they're running down the bridge. Troll jumps up and attempts to squash them with the club. The concrete goes flying as they pick up speed. Ghostbear drags Raph with him, not like he had a choice. Troll uses his club like a bat to knock a piece of road at Raph. It hits the turtle in the back and they roll around. The pieces from the road hit a truck and it explodes, sending them flying. They land on the ground, looking back towards the yokai. He pants heavily, staring at them in the eye.
"We are doomed! It's time to tap out," Ghostbear looks to the snapping turtle.
"Hey!" He towers over his partner. "I don't have any posters of Ghostbear giving up! Remember when you won Noble Knockout Five? It's where you introduced your famous move, the Hibernator! You know what I'm getting at?"
Ghostbear's eyes shine, and he actually feels a little bit inspired. "That idea is...how you say...cowabunga!"
They stand together in front of Troll, chuckling at each other. The two lunge forward, flipping onto a wire. They're propelled into the air as they spin around, going into the air. Then they fall towards Troll with their elbows outstretched.
"Hibernator!" They exclaim in unison, but Troll knocks them back with the club. The two mutants go flying into the water, a flying eye watching them. Only their masks float up from the water...the crowd erupts in cheers as Big Mama looks happy.
"Oh! We finally have our first victims! Raph and Ghostbear aren't only eliminated, they're destroyed!" Two pictures of them with Xs over their faces appear for everyone to see...including his family.
"No!" Leo exclaims while tussling with Carl.
"Omigosh!" Mikey yells in horror as he stops working.
"NO!" All the Donnie pieces shout.
Amy runs past the table to take a look, but slips, falling off the pillar. She gasps sharply, grabbing the edge with her fingers and dangling over at least 2,000 feet in the air.
"It's not true!" She yells while trying to keep a good grip. "It can't be!"
"RAAAAAAAAPH!" The four exclaim sadly.
Splinter sips his lemonade, puckering his lips. Then he spits it out everywhere. "Omigosh! My son lost and is gone forever!" Todd pours him some more lemonade, despite the grim news and the fact that he's pouring it over the limit.
"Draxum," April places a hand on his shoulder. "Whatever you gotta do to get us out of this mystic trap, now's the time. We got butts to kick!" She narrows her eyes, wanting to avenge Raph, and she'll start with Big Mama!
"And we'll help too," Lily walks up to her, followed by Ann.
"You girls haven't known us for that long. I can't ask either of you to go through this-"
"Are you kidding?" Ann asks incredibly, chuckling. "The guys are our friends, and we're not letting you do this alone."
"Yeah, Big Mama's a huge jerk that needs to get taken down," Lily narrows her eyes. April smiles for their offer to help.
"This ship is surrounded by a powerful mystic membrane," Draxum explains to her. "I cannot unlock an exit from here, but perhaps if we reach the bottom-"
"I'll save the day!" Brit jerks a thumb to himself. "For REVENGE!" He jumps off the ship, wanting to get back at his former allies for kicking him out, but the sound where he lands doesn't sound like the water...
"Oh look, a ladder," Draxum glances at it.
Leo looks at the photos, his eyes shaking. Raph was gone...just like that. "Raph..."
"If you like this news," Big Mama appears nearby. "Then I'm sure you'll enjoy this." She pulls up the image of Amy dangling from the pillar.
"Ames! No!" His voice breaks in fear for her. Amy glances down at the road, trying to hang on at the same time being upset over Raph. Leo turns to the screen. "If you hurt my lady, I swear, Big Mama, I will-" Carl tackles Leo and they get into a fight. "Mikey hits harder than you!"
"You're terrible!"
"Your hair is a disaster!"
Sprite looks between them as Leo bites Carl's leg. He then gives Leo a noogie in return. Leo throws a trash can at his face and Carl grabs the turtle. He then slips on a banana peel and the two fall onto the ground. The peel lands on Leo's head, and Sprite snickers a bit.
"That's it," He gasps in realization. "Physical comedy. Pain is always funny!" He then freezes after kicking Carl away. "Wait, is that how my lady laughs every single time I make a joke? Carl, follow my lead!"
"Never!" Carl declares defiantly.
"Then hit me, right in the old peepers with your pointy pinchers!" Leo jumps around, showing his fists.
"I was already gonna do that before you even said it!" Carl leaps forward and tries to punch Leo. However, Leo grabs the claws before Carl could even touch his face. "W-What?" The turtle smirks knowingly.
"Right?" He makes a face and then causes Carl to hit himself in the face. He then flaps the lips with his finger, spraying water in the mutant's mouth. Carl spits it out and goes flying like a balloon, Leo just watching. Carl flies past the beaming Sprite. Leo runs around, wearing a baseball bat. "I got 'im, I got 'im, I got 'im!"
Carl goes soaring back to Leo. "I got 'im, I got 'im, I..." He steps to the left as Carl lands nearby hard. "Don't got 'im."
Sprite smiles as Carl stumbles back. "What is this, improv? That's the bargain bin of comedy!" He then steps on a bear trap that Leo planted, screeching in pain. Then he gets a pie to the face.
"You're hilarious," Leo grabs a bunch more pies to throw at Carl's face multiple times. "And the cherry louis on top!" He smacks the last pie hard in Carl's face. "We do have fun, huh?"
Sprite ends up bursting in laughter, pausing as she realizes that she lost. "Made ya laugh. Bye bye now," Leo grins as they both disappear. Sprite covers her eyes with her hands in shame...
"Blimey! Stop it with the dilly dallying, will ya?!" Meat Sweats shouts to Mikey, still throwing a bunch of food at this snake head. "Feed your monster, before it eats us both!" He then sees that he's out of ingredients. "Oh no! I'm out!" He looks up nervously at the two-headed snake, the one being fed swallowing its meal.
"We need to work together and satisfy their appetite," Mikey slams down a fish, cutting a tomato. "Trust me, one satisfying dish is all we need to win this challenge! Oh no, I forget how to spice it! Help me!"
"A sprinkle of paprika," Meat Sweats holds up the shaker. "To unleash the flavor..."
"Genius!" He then takes the fish and throws to his snake head...but the other one eats it. Mikey raises a brow in confusion as the two start fighting. "What?" Eventually, they eat each other out of existence. "Ha ha, I knew it! Just like me and Raph fighting over the last slice of pizza or over Amy's last piece of leftovers."
The two disappear as well.
Hypno is rubbing his beard, wondering which move to make. Cortex's eye twitches since he hasn't gone yet.
"Oh, come on!" He slams the board, and one piece falls.
"You've slain your own king!" A Donnie piece exclaims in a high-pitched voice. "You surrender! We're victorious, Hypno!"
"I am the king of checkers!" Hypno shouts in triumph as he and the pieces disappear. Cortex groans, slamming his head on the board.
Amy screams as she's still dangling, looking up at Foot Recruit. She hears the oven ding and is about to go get it when she sees Amy's dilemma. She glances at the cake and then at her partner. If she doesn't help, the cake would be cool, but if she did, then it would burn...
"Help me!"
Foot Recruit grunts in defeat, since she needs Amy to figure how to decorate this cake. They've made the decorations, but she doesn't know where to put them to impress Big Mama.
"Take my hand!" She holds out her hand to Amy and she grabs it. Foot Recruit pulls her back up onto the pillar. "Tell no one, but I will need your expertise assistance!"
"Right!" Amy rushes over to the cake and pulls it out of the oven. They loom over the cake, frosting and decorating left and right. Once it's done, they nod at each other, taking the cake and turning around to show Big Mama. The cake is literally Big Mama sitting her office chair, with her colors and a big spider near the end.
"Ooh!" Big Mama claps at it. Bundy's cake falls apart upon seeing theirs. "Amelia-welia is the winner...reluctantly."
"Yes!" Amy pumps a fist as she pokes at the cake, taking a taste of the frosting. Both of them are taken away.
Donnie and Hypno appear first in front of Big Mama's hotel. "Oh luck," Hypno comments at the building.
"Donnie!" Mikey exclaims behind them and he looks to see his two brothers. "You made it!"
"Good to see you, brother!" Leo yells happily as they tackle him into a hug.
"Brotherly love. Yeah, that's what I've been talking about!" Hypno offers his hand to the two other villains.
"Put that away. You're embarrassing yourself, Hypno," Carl turns away from him. Amy appears last, wiping dust off her skirt. Leo looks up to see her and gasps in relief.
"Ames!"
"Papi," She smiles as he stands up. She runs up to him and hugs him tightly. He hugs her back, resting his cheek in her hair.
"Aww," Mikey grins at the two from the floor.
"I'm so glad you're okay!" Leo pulls back, holding her cheeks. "Did she hurt you?"
"If she did, she wouldn't be standing. Speaking of, where is Big Mama so I can kick her butt?" Amy narrows her eyes in anger.
The elevator doors open with a ding. "Hello, victorious finkle-beasts!"
"Oh no..." Mikey shakes his head, still latching onto Donnie.
"Congratulations on defeating my champions..." She steps out of the shadows. "Or three of them, at least."
"Raph's Hibernator move..." Mikey looks towards the ground at the reminder of him. Donnie grunts, moving away from his brother.
"We played your dumb-dumb game, now give us your dumb-dumb orb so we can go back to our dumb-dumb lives. Wait, that last part wasn't right. Sorry, from the top. We played your dumb-dumb-"
"What he means is stop being an old raggedy bitch and give us your orb so that we can kick your-"
"Silence!" She throws her web goo at both of their mouths. Amy growls, pulling at the web on her mouth as she turns into her spider form. "The thing is, my dearies, I don't like how clever you were being. So I'm alternating the terms at the last second. I only visited your home to play my little game, but I rather like this place and I think I'll be keeping it! New York City will be my new Battle Nexus arena! And its people, my expendable contestants," She laughs at the orb in her hand.
Amy cries out in horror, since her mom, niece, and sister-in-law are in there. She didn't want them to be used for Big Mama's gain! Donnie rips off the web from her mouth. "Ouch!"
"Think again, Big Mama! New York is our house, and we got you outnumbered 8 to one!" Leo declares, pausing as the four villains are gone.
"So long, jerks!" Carl's voice echoes as a tumbleweed flies by. Leo gives an annoyed look at this.
"You're kidding, right?" Amy glares at the empty space, reminding herself to beat up Carl the next time she sees him. However, Foot Recruit is still lurking in the shadows, waiting for her chance.
"Villains, am I right? You get it," Leo comments, earning a laugh from Big Mama.
"Pity. You four alone could never defeat me..." She touches the orb and the black hands from it turn bigger around her. "This will be easy-weazy."
"Yeah," Mikey smirks at her. "The thing about that is, us five work together, even when we're apart."
"See, for as long as I can remember, we've endured Raph's obsession with wrestling," Leo looks smug as he crosses his arms.
"And I've been telling him to get his head together when he's dealing with Ghostbear," Amy grins, hands on her hips.
"So we know that his all-time favorite special move is..." Leo starts off.
"A classic fake-out where he pretends to lose, and just when the opponent's distracted, he swoops in like a boss with his..."
"Hibernator!" The four exclaim in unison as they strike poses. However, nothing happens and a cricket is heard. A bird poops nearby as Big Mama expected something more. She looks around for something, and yet nothing.
Leo coughs awkwardly, deciding to try again. "Hibernator!"
A cat is eating the same bird that pooped. "...Okay, I feel stupid," Amy says after a few seconds, turning to the others.
"Come on, Raph, you're making us look bad in front of Big Mama!" Leo calls out, hoping the oldest brother can hear them.
"Awkward~" She sings, but then there's a large explosion behind her soon afterwards. Raph's red aura appears, the arms coming around the spider yokai. He grabs her arms from behind.
"HIBERNATOR!" He screams at the top of his lungs, throwing her away. She spins around rapidly, the orb slipping from her claws.
"My orb!" She crashes into the elevator, the others cheering at his appearance.
"We aren't done yet!" Raph looks over his shoulder. "Get the orb!" He reaches out to it, hoping to catch the object.
"The red one survived?" Big Mama asks in shock as she gets back up. "No! I will have this city!" Just before he's about to grab it, her ring glows from her finger. "Shadow Fiend!"
He appears in front of Raph, breaking his aura and knocking him out of the way. The smoke appears as Shadow Fiend catches it in his hand, but a claw pierces through the bottom.
The six are searching for the way out when April notices the crack caused by the claw.
"What? That's our exit!" Draxum forces himself to create vines, throwing them at the crack. They pull the ends open.
Shadow Fiend turns to the five with a growl.
"Raph was expecting more of a fight, so after I faked losing at the bridge, and Ghostbear ditched me, I swam back to the lair and grabbed your stuff!" He throws the four weapons on the ground and Amy cheers.
"Yes! Finally one of you does a sensible thing! I'm so proud..."
"Of him?" The other turtles ask in shock at the same time.
"Now, let's show Big Mama why you don't mess with New York City!" Raph declares, pointing at her. The orb's crack grows bigger due to Draxum's vines inside.
"You'll never take the orb from my champion," Big Mama brags to them. Amy's eyes flash blue as she grins sadistically. She's been wanting to fight Big Mama all day, and now she finally has the chance to make them pay.
"Wanna bet?" She seethes back as lightning flashes from the sky.
"I'll enjoy watching you try..." Big Mama glares at the girl. "You could've been a champion, but it seems I was mistaken-"
The vines force the orb open, and since Shadow Fiend is unable to control it, he lets go of it. The vines attach to a building and then fly towards Big Mama's hotel.
"Yeah!" April cheers as all their friends and Brit are out.
"We're free!"
"Dad?" Raph asks with wide eyes.
"Draxum?" Mikey questions with the same expression as Raph.
"April, Ann, and Lily?" Donnie looks up at them, equally shocked.
"Brit?" Leo is mostly confused.
"Oh HELL no..." Amy scrunches up her nose in annoyance. Big Mama growls as the orb falls off from the vine.
"The people of New York are still in there!" Splinter calls out, kicking Shadow Fiend away. Raph uses Leo's portal to teleport a punch directed towards him. Donnie then smacks him with his rocket, and Mikey flings a bus at him. Amy creates four orbs of electricity with her axe and flings them at Shadow Fiend, shocking him.
"Guys, what's our plan?" Mikey calls out to them. Draxum lands behind April and Brit.
"Retrieve me the orb, and I can free your people!" Draxum explains to them.
"I don't think so!" Big Mama flings a web at the orb, capturing it.
"Intercepting! I got it! I got it! I got it!" Brit runs up to the orb, but falls onto his face as it goes back to the spider. "I don't got it..."
Leo throws his sword and slices the web off from the orb, April catching it. "I got it!"
"Over here, April!" Ann shouts nearby Draxum, who attacks Big Mama with his vines.
"Heads up!" April throws it to the girl, who catches it in front of Lily. She gives it to her friend, who turns around and gives it to Draxum.
"Buy me some time!" He calls out as Shadow Fiend teleports right behind him. He yelps as he glances behind him. Splinter slides up as Amy runs next to him. He sweeps Shadow Fiend's legs, who swipes at the air. It literally snaps buildings in half as Draxum lands on the ground.
"Go! We'll cover you!" Splinter shouts to Draxum.
"Yeah, you guys got this," Brit gives a thumbs up to them, inching away to leave.
Splinter gets hit from behind by Shadow Fiend. Amy leaps above Draxum, spinning around and kicking Shadow Fiend in the stomach. Her foot sparks as she electrocutes him, sending him flying. He spins around and lands a few feet away from her.
"Uh oh," She murmurs as he comes running towards her. Draxum runs out of the way as Leo runs in.
"My lady!" He tackles both of them to the ground and Shadow Fiend chases after Draxum for the orb. Raph comes in and punches him a few times. Donnie throws his staff as Mikey flings his chain at a truck, bringing it over. An explosion occurs behind Draxum as he jumps, spinning the orb around. It turns red with a white line around it. He then spins the top.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!" He urges as he looks at it.
"Cowabunga!" Donnie throws his staff again and it spins around, firing April's mystic bat. She catches it and throws her weapon to Shadow Fiend, hitting him in the face. The bat spins around in the air as Mikey hits him with his flaming whip. Leo comes around and strikes him with his sword, using his portals to hit him in more places. Amy rushes up to Shadow Fiend as her axe turns into her ice gun. She fires it his armor, only for it to be reflected back. She gasps before Ann and Lily come in, holding shields made of the rock. Luckily, the ice shards hit the makeshift shields, and they break on impact.
Foot Recruit jumps into the air and tries to strike an aerial attack, but Shadow Fiend blocks it with his arm. And then a familiar demon's face flashes in front of her face.
"Master?" She whispers, only to get a punch to the face. He then slams the ground, causing everyone to be lifted into the air. This also sends Draxum tumbling forward and he sldies into the elevator.
"Ignore the turtles, follow the warrior alchemist!" Big Mama orders Shadow Fiend, and Foot Recruit looks up in horror. She watches him speed towards Draxum, and then eyes the ring that's on Big Mama's finger.
"So that's how," She narrows her eyes in realization.
Drauxm slides back and looks up to see Shadow Fiend appearing in front of him. He screeches and Draxum gets onto his feet.
"No!" He creates more vines to grab his opponent's arm, only to get punched so hard he goes flying up the building. The crowd still watching just stare with wide-eyes...and then the room starts to shake. He lands right in their room, causing a major crash. Everyone runs off in a panic as Draxum hits the ceiling, landing on the ground hugging the orb.
The elevator dings and Big Mama rushes over, spinning around and firing her web. He jumps away from her line of fire and creates a vine made out of the wall to push her back. The ring goes flying off her finger and rolls to a stop on the ground. He pushes the orb closes, stiffening when Shadow Fiend appears right behind him. Then Leo's portal appears, and Raph's aura emerges from it.
"Hey, Shadow Fiend! You messed with the wrong family," Fire appears around the right arm, and it grows bigger. The same thing happens to his left, but it has electricity around it. Donnie's gear attaches around the right arm, and the aura jumps forward, punching Shadow Fiend in the face.
"Mystic Hot Soup Hibernator!" The seven family members exclaim in unison inside, and then another explosion occurs, breaking most of the windows in the hotel. Big Mama moves away the rubble.
"You stubborn buglies think you've won, don't you?"
"I thought that was obvious," Raph speaks up near Foot Recruit, Draxum, Ann, and Lily. However, Foot Recruit does not look happy with Big Mama. "It's over, Big Mama. Your bodyguard ain't here no more." Foot Recruit grins and Amy glances at her weirdly, since she was her partner. She watches her slide away from them.
"Ha! My champion could never be beaten!"
"You said that about your other champions and yet we kicked their butts anyway!" Amy exclaims, earning gasps from the others.
"Ooh, shots fired!" Raph exclaims, pointing at her.
"Shadow Fiend!" She clenches a fist. Then she finally notices her ringless finger. "Ah! No!"
Foot Recruit laughs and Big Mama turns to her. She picks it up in her hands. "There is no Shadow Fiend," She says evilly, shocking the others. Then she puts on the ring! "Only..."
A growl is heard behind them and the aura turns around. "What?" Raph asks in confusion. "Uh oh..."
"Oh no..." Amy gasps in realization. Shadow Fiend stands there as the cloak flies around.
"The Shredder!"
His face is revealed once the cloak flies off him. Everyone gives a shocked noise.
"Master Shredder, destroy your enemies!" Foot Recruit declares to him and Amy whips around to her.
"You backstabbing psychopath!" She grits her teeth at her. "After I helped you stay alive?!"
The Shredder's eyes glow green.
"Blue, quickly, make a portal!" Splinter urges him as Shredder is teleporting to their location. He breaks their aura and then knocks Amy away to a wall. She hits the concrete and lands on the ground roughly, groaning.
"Ames, no!" Leo turns to her in worry.
"NOW!" Splinter shouts at him, but he's conflicted. Does he save his girlfriend, or his family first? The Shredder steps on Raph's shell as Leo turns to the rat.
"Dad!"
"My sons!" He looks at them in horror, seeing the sword nearby. The turtles are attempting to fight him when Splinter throws his sword at him. The weapon spins around so that it spreads to everyone, and Splinter catches it. The portal emerges and everyone falls in. "Come with us, Big Mama!" He holds out a hand to her. "There is still good in you!"
"My cuddle-lumpogous!" She extends a piece of web at him and it latches around his arm. He slips inside the portal, taking her along with it. But when she reaches the portal, she can't get in, and it closes her off.
"The turtles are of no concern to us," Foot Recruit speaks up to her. "But you enslaved my master! Now you will lose everything!" There's a crazy look in her eyes as the ring glows. "I'd run if I were you." The hotel then tilts before falling to pieces.
"FOOT CLAN!" And with that, she flies off the Shredder.
Angel: Yes, I know Foot Recruit was on the cruise ship, but she was taken by Shadow Fiend too just like a few other villains we saw get snatched! And I was like why would he take her and then put her on the ship if she was meant to be in the Battle Nexus? What was the point of her being taken if she could've just been in the city to be on the ship anyway to begin with? So I switched her with Brit to take her place.
And yes, the name Bundy came from bundt cakes XD
