Been hesitating to do this chapter because...It's not a whole lot, just more padding but it does get some key ideas out of the way. Also don 't think I can continue any further until I can get my hands on The World Guide whenever it gets finished.

The Rescue Heroes decided to have an emergency meeting.

"I admit..." Said Jack Hammer the Texan Construction Expert "...I've never been a fan of snakes or other creepy-crawlies but these wouldn't be ordinary Snakes, they're people, and having to kill someone , a soldier whose probably just following orders...I don't know if I could live with myself after that..."

Jake, who being a Police Officer was the one who was most prepared to take life of another person if necessary stepped forward "I know it's hard...But I recently thought of something I hadn't before...What if it isn't just Chanchalla's world that's in danger? You heard what she said about her race's creation myth although it's more of an 'Arrival Myth' Great Mother and Father were fleeing the Devourer the 'Darkness Without End' and then came to this Dardunah and placed their children upon it...Now from what is now understood, Great Mother and Father were mere human zookeepers and the Janah were the animals of that Zoo, they probably came from a more technologically advanced civilization, if what we believe to be true, the Menagerie was some kind of spaceship, but if the crossing over from their dimension to Dardunah caused the animals aboard that spaceship to transform into intelligent humanoids and the Zookeepers into ethereal God-like beings than if the Devourer is who these 'Sarpah' are trying to someone, then what did the Devourer turn into? Let's assume that the Devourer was some other Human or Humans the Zookeepers were trying to flee from, Why? What would anyone want with a Menagerie Spaceship? Suppose in that long time stuck in the 'in-between' they had only got more malevolent with their transformation they would no longer see the animals not worthy of moral consideration but also humans which they may see themselves as having risen above...Don't you see? The Devourer may only see Dardunah as a starting point they may want to return to their original dimension, they may decide they want to rule the multiverse! That includes us!"

The other Rescue Heroes realized Jake had a point, there was more than one world potentially at stake here.

Meanwhile the Turtles were doing their own Final Preparations before they went to the Battle Nexus Dimension and hopefully the Ultimate Daimyo if he could get them to Dardunah.

"Hold up." Leo said "Mikey...We're going to have to frisk you."

They were right to be suspicious. Don found Mikey had tucked under his belt a small bag of chocolate chip cookies.

"What's this?" Don asked "Mikey remember we said only bringing Vegan foods to Dardunah!"

Chanchalla had been told in a vision they should bring foods with them to Dardunah both as proof they were from another world, and as 'peace offerings' 'gifts'

"What difference does it make?" Mikey asked

"It has chicken eggs and cow milk in it!" Don hissed "Just because Chanchalla is cool with eating those animal byproducts doesn't mean other Janah are...In fact Chanchalla is OK with it because she doesn't think like other Janah...If a were to eat one of these things and ask what's in it...Do you really want to have to go over the initial freak out we had with Challa but worse? Challa herself is a Farm Animal we don't know how common Janah descended from Domestic Animals are in Dardunah but either way it doesn't matter because the Janah despite starting as distinct species became one species when they were transformed!"

Chanchalla herself had discarded her sneakers for that same reason, even if they were most likely completely synthetic not real leather at all, better safe than sorry and avoid having to answer any awkward questions, the clothes were 100 percent cotton so she could keep those.

"Hey Challa." Leo said a little more shyly then usual "You ready?"

"I think so." Challa said "I'm still a little scared imagining what I'll say to my family...I've changed so much..."

Leo sucked on his lower lip, he didn't know what to say to comfort her he wasn't sure there was anything he could say but also something else was on his mind, he had something he had to confess to the Norfolk Ewe Janah and he knew he had to do it as soon as possible...As soon as they were alone...He would do it.

So once added a little romantic tension at the end to not make this feel like this chapter was just for exposition
