Raph is seen wearing a helmet as he rides a large futuristic motorcycle, sitting behind him was a man wearing red racing gear. Raph steers the bike and drives past another pair of riders as they entered an ice covered tunnel.

RAPH: Get this- I am racing pro bike. The thing is, this ain't no Shell Cycle; it's a planet racer and these babies are so high octane they require two riders.

Raph is then seen riding the bike across a desert land and chasing after them were strange alien dog-like creatures.

The other thing is, this ain't your average race tracks. It's a hostile alien world with some unusual obstacles. When your race is a planet racer; winning is one thing, surviving is another.

Raph and his partner are then riding across hills as aliens riding on flying creatures chase after them.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

In the smaller garage of the lair where the Tunneler and Spectre Speeder were, Raph and Casey were working on their bikes. Raph has almost finished his brand new Shell Cycle, after Hun had destroyed his first one.

Using the drill, Raph removed a piece and then said with a smile, "There. That ought to lighten the load."

Casey however pointed out, "That's a die-cast aluminium frame. It's already light."

"Well now its eighteen ounces lighter. Giving this new Shell Cycle a definite edge." Raph said.

Casey took the drill out of his hand and used it on his bike as he scoffed, "You're dreaming! After I tweak the throttle response on this baby, you'll be spitting its dust for a week."

Raph snatched back the drill and said with a smirk, "Not after I tighten the shift linkage."

Casey smirked back and said as he took back the drill, "Not after I modify the compression ratio by three precent."

The boys glared at each other for a second and then got back to work on their bikes. Raph thought about what Casey said and agreed with his friend, "Compression ratio. Good idea."

Suddenly the lair began to shake hard, causing the bikes to fall over as it seemed like an earthquake was happening.

"What the shell?!" Raph shouted in shock.

He then saw a bright light coming from the centre of the lair and said to Casey as he ran out to see what was going on, "Casey stay here!"

A mass of green energy suddenly began to rise from the water and form a powerful portal in the middle of the lair above them. Danny and Raph entered the main room and watched.

"Master Splinter, what's going on?" Leo asked.

Donnie stood near Mikey and said as he recognised the energy, "We've seen that kind of energy before."

Suddenly from out of the portal appeared the Ultimate-Draco! And in their hands was the Time Sceptre they had stolen from Lord Simultaneous the last time Danny and the Turtles had encountered them.

Master Splinter shouted in shock as he saw them, "Draco!"

"And the Daimyo's son! This is what we told you about Master Splinter, they merged somehow. Combined together." Danny explained.

"All into one ugly package." Raph commented.

"We told you we would return! We told you we would have our revenge!" The Ultimate-Draco spoke.

"Revenge this whack bag!" Raph shouted as he charged right at them, but they simply used the Time Sceptre to freeze Raph in time, grab him with their tail and then slammed him right into the pillar unfreezing him.

Raph yelped as he was slammed into the pillar and groaned as he slid down and fell to the floor, bringing down the Sewer Sweet Sewer sign along with him.

The Ultimate-Draco scoffed, "As if you could simply fight us! We control time and space and with Lord Simultaneous's Time Sceptre, we are unbeatable!"

"Someone quick! Grab the….." Donnie began to say as they all charged at them at once, but the Ultimate-Draco froze them all in time stopping their attack.

"Now we shall have our vengeance!" They spoke with pride and glee.

Ue-Sama glared at Leo and Danny as he said with anticipation, "Leonardo and Daniel! Let's destroy them first!"

"No! We agreed that the rat would go first, then the Daimyo your father." Draco corrected.

Ue-Sama agreed and added, "Then Leonardo and Daniel."

"They will all pay! All of them!" Draco said as they began to activate the Time Sceptre once again.

"Yes! All of them will know the meaning of suffering beyond time and space!" They both said as they waved the sceptre around and spread its magical energy straight at Master Splinter, Danny and the Turtles.

Raph shouted as they were all encased in a blinding flash of light and the lair disappeared….

Raph screamed as he fell out of the sky and landed hard on the ground. He groaned and got off the ground. He then looked in shock as he saw he was no longer in the lair, but in a desert somewhere with large rocks. The sky was red and in the sky, you could see two moons instead of one.

"Where in the shell am I?" Raph asked himself as he looked around at his surroundings.

He tried calling out for his family, "Master Splinter! Leo! Danny!"

"Wait a minute! Where's that Draco ninja freak? He had the Time Sceptre and….where'd that bozo send me?" Raph wondered since none of his family could be seen.

Suddenly, he heard the sounds of some kind of motor engine behind him. He turned and saw there was a bunch of dust clouds on the cliff. Jumping off the cliff looked what appeared to be futuristic large motorcycles, each of them having two riders instead of one.

On the red one was a man with black hair under the helmet driving the bike and sitting in the part behind him was a woman with blueish green hair and cat ears under her helmet.

She noticed her scanner beeping and told her partner, "Falcon, someone's on the track!"

"HOLY SHELL!" Raph shouted as the bikes came closing in on him and he ran for it.

The bikes jumped right over him, but the red one fell on its side as it landed and the two riders fell out as it came to a stop. Raph flipped and pulled out his weapons ready to fight.

Seeing that no-one was going to attack him, he put his weapons away and began to walk over to the two riders that fell off their bike, ready to give them a piece of his mind.

"What's the big idea? Can't ya see I'm walking here!" Raph shouted as he climbed over the bike.

He then stopped and calmed down when he saw that the two riders were on the ground, really hurt from the crash.

Raph bent down and asked them, "Hey, are you guys okay?"

The male rider named Falcon groaned in pain as he sat up and answered, "Not for long."

He pointed to the distance behind them and Raph could see what Falcon met. Coming after them were several vicious alien dog like creatures with razor sharp teeth and spines on them. The creatures as they were coming closer to their prey.

"Uh oh! I take it these aren't friends of yours?" Raph said as Falcon got up, holding his shoulder.

"We gotta get out of here." Falcon said as he crawled over to the bike and pressed one of the buttons.

The bike then automatically stood back up on its own. Falcon picked up his partner and then asked Raph, "Can you ride?"

"Can I ride?" Raph said as he looked at the bike in awe.

The creatures were starting to get closer as Raph helped Falcon and his partner back on the bike. He then sat at the front and began to say, "Hang on, cause we're gonna…."

He stopped as he saw the controls. These looked completely different from the Shell Cycle. He tried pressing multiple buttons, but none of them seemed to get the bike started.

"Okay I give up! How the shell do you start this thing?!" Raph panicked as he continued pressing buttons, the creatures began to catch up and they were almost at them.

"Come on! Come on! Start!" Raph pressed.

He pressed another button, but instead of turning on the bike, it only turned on the lights. He continued as he said, "Lights….okay. Now which one is go?"

He heard the sounds of the creatures and said, "Oh shell!"

Just when the creatures were about to pounce on them, Raph pressed one more button and the bike immediately took off. Raph pressed hard on the throttle and sped up, leaving the creatures behind them in a cloud of dust.

Raph used a piece of rock for a ramp and flew right off the edge of the cliff, hitting a few rocks as they landed and sped down the track. Raph laughed, loving the adrenalin of this powerful bike as they continued on.

He sped down the hill and as they leapt in the air, they performed a double back-flip before landing back down. Falcon commented looking impressed by Raph's skills at driving, "Not bad."

As Raph continued to drive, a voice on speakers could be heard all around, "Race fans! This is the ultimate challenge!"

The voice was coming from an announcer on a huge space-ship where people were sitting in seats watching as the other riders started riding back onto the ship up the platforms. The crowds cheered for their racers as it began to come to an end.

The announcer continued, "One planet, three days and five racing machines as Race Commissioner Mori has promised, anything can happen on the hostile world of Vatora 4."

He continued as Raph drove across the finish line, "Just ask Godman and Falcon of Team Falcon, locking in a full 3.22 minutes behind the others on this Day One of the USPRA Charity Race Event."

"Rub it in why don't ya?" Falcon mumbled in annoyance as they got on the ship.

Raph took and Falcon took his partner who introduced herself as Methania to the infirmary, where they confirmed she had broken her leg because of the crash. Falcon only had a sprained arm, but the doctors said he should be good to continue to race.

As a robot inspected the bike, Raph had explained to Falcon and Methania what had happened and why he was on the track in the first place.

The robot returned with a broken part from the bike and explained to Falcon, "And these servos, they burned out. Not good for impellers, they crack. All need to be replaced, lower sub-frame very bent."

"Can you get the bike back on its feet by the next race?" Falcon asked the robot.

"Alright, but it's gonna be tight." The robot answered and left the room to go and repair the bike.

A pink skinned alien wearing a green robe appeared on a small screen. It was Race Commissioner Mori who was in charge of the entire race event.

"I'm sorry to break this to you Falcon, but I'm bringing in another team to replace you. Team Falcon is out." Mori spoke.

"Commissioner Mori, you cannot disqualify us." Falcon pleaded.

"You can't ride without a navigator." Mori reminded him.

"But it wasn't out fault!" Falcon snapped.

Methania spoke gently as she tried to keep her partner calm, "Let it go Falcon. It's just a charity race, it doesn't count towards the championship."

But Falcon didn't care. He said with determination, "No! I'm finishing this race even if I have to navigate the bike myself."

Mori laughed and then asked frowning at Falcon, "Then who would be your pilot?"

Falcon thought for a moment and then saw Raph sitting there and knew exactly who would pilot the bike. He gestured to the ninja turtle and answered, "Him."

"Me?" Raph asked, pointing to himself.

"Him?/ Him?" Mori and Methania both asked.

"Trust me, he can ride. He's the got the balance of a messy machine. Your people Methania, it's amazing." Falcon said.

"It's against the rules but since this isn't an official USPRA race, I'll make an exception." Mori agreed and then hung up the video phone.

Raph however, wasn't going to accept this and spoke up, "Look, I'm sorry you beefed it on account of me but I can't stick around. My brothers and Master Splinter are probably in trouble. I gotta find a way to get back home."

"I know. I know. You told me." Falcon said. "But you don't event here. But now that you jammed me up, you think you're just gonna bail?"

"I'm really sorry, but I gotta get home." Raph said, really worried about his family.

He was about to leave the room when Methania spoke, "Wait Raphael. Maybe we can help you."

He turned around and faced them as Methania continued, "My uncle is the premier subspace temporal mechanics theorist in this sector. If there's a way to get you back, he'll figure it out. We'll take you to him….after the race."

Knowing this was the only chance to get home, Raph agreed, "Deal."

The next day, the ship moved to another section of the planet where the entire land was covered with snow and ice. Snow fell fast and the wind blew wild as the bottom of the ship opened and all the planet racers including Raph and Falcon drove out and the race was about to begin.

"Good morning all beings and forms! This is day 2 and we are live on the frozen wastes of Vatora 4! The drop off is complete and the racers are heading to the starting grid. As for us, we will be heading for the finishing line."

The ship began to fly off, heading for the finishing line. Team 6 sped in front of Raph and Falcon as they teased, "Gonna beat you again Falcon? HA!"

"Friends of yours?" Raph asked Falcon as he parked at the starting line.

"That's Tripper Nitro and Jagg Majori of Team Koyashada." Falcon answered as he got the navigator controls ready. "Watch out for them. They don't play nice."

Raph revved the bike as they waited for the green signal….5…4….3…2…1 GO! The racers sped off! The race was on.

A warning noise came up on Falcon's screen and he told Raph, "I got a caution icon already. A forty foot drop in the ice tunnels."

"Good, I gotta make up for that lousy start." Raph said as he sped up.

The racers dropped down into the ditch and rode down the sides heading towards the entrance of the tunnels. Before entering, another warning flashed on Falcon's screens and he told Raph, "I got another caution. There's subterranean life down there."

"What kind?" Raph asked as they entered.

"Worms!" Falcon calls out.

"What?" Raph asked, really confused. Were the worms really that bad?

Nobby and Commissioner Mori heard what Falcon said as they watched them enter the tunnels with the cameras following them.

"Worms Commissioner? Just how big are these worms?" Nobby asked.

"Well, they dug those tunnels. That's all I know." Mori answered with no concern at all.

Nobby however was concerned for the racers' welfare and safety and he said while reaching over to a control switch, "We got to stop the race."

Mori however grabbed his wrist and stopped him, "Absolutely not! Ratings are up because this is the most hostile planet we've ever raced. A little danger never hurt anybody."

"Sounds like you're hoping someone gets hurt." Nobby said.

"Never! But make sure your race cameras keep up with the action." Mori ordered, just in case.

Nobby definitely didn't like the sound of that, but he had no choice but to listen to the Commissioner.

As they sped through the tunnels, Team Falcon passed another team catching up with Team Koyashada. Raph looked ahead and asked as he saw they were three different tunnels ahead, "Which way? We got three tunnels?"

Falcon quickly looked at his screen and answered, "Middle!"

Raph began to steer towards the middle tunnel, but suddenly a giant monstrous alien worm came out and roared as it opened its mouth ready to eat them.

"I MEAN LEFT!" Falcon shouted and Raph quickly turned the bike, heading down the left tunnel.

The worm growled and slithered down the tunnel after them, while the other teams went down the middle tunnel. Raph struggled to keep the bike steady as he drove it down the slippery road, but managed.

"Okay, those ain't your average night crawlers." Raph commented.

"Somebody should've warned us!" Falcon yelled.

Team Koyashada's bike suddenly fell down and they slammed into Team Falcon, causing them to slip more and suddenly lose balance and fell down as well. Nitro pressed a button on the bike and straightened them back up.

Raph tried pressing a button, but nothing happened. Raph then growled, "That jerk Nitro tore the hydraulics hose when he slammed us! We got no stabilisers."

"Then we'll have to lift it ourselves." Falcon said as they climbed out.

Suddenly there was a growl behind them and they could hear the worm was coming towards them. The worm roared as it ate the race camera that was flying ahead of it.

Methania gasped in shock as she watched what happened on the screen and Nobby announced as another camera was activated and watched the worm get closer to Team Falcon and Team Koyashada, "Major worm alert! That thing just ate one of our race cameras and it's not looking good for Team Falcon and Team Koyashada! They better get their bikes in gear fast."

The worm was getting closer. It slammed its body down and a large crack began to form underneath it and stopped just at Raph and Falcon who were struggling to get the bike back up.

Raph called out to Nitro, "Nitro, give us a hand!"

Nitro and his partner however smirked and instead of helping, they just took off leaving them to become worm food.

"Okay! Where's a trap door when you need it?" Raph said, trying to think of a plan.

He suddenly saw the crack underneath his feet and suddenly got an idea. He pulled out his sais and began to dig a larger grove around them and the bike. The worm was almost reaching them.

"Get on!" Raph yelled out to Falcon.

They both climbed into the bike and just as the worm was about to attack, Raph stabbed the crack once more and suddenly, they fell as the ice gave way. They landed at the bottom and immediately sped off. The worm roared as it slithered through the hole and continued the chase.

"Way to race Raph." Falcon complimented.

Suddenly Raph began to fade and flux for a second. Falcon noticed this and asked, "What was that?"

"I don't know." Raph answered as it stopped.

Back at the ship, Mori was talking on the phone to someone as he walked out of an elevator, "I want tomorrow's race heavily promoted. If you think today was intense, we're gonna send the ratings through the roof!"

"What is exactly is going on here Commissioner?" Methania asked as she walked up to Mori using a crutch.

Mori hung up the phone and asked, "Something bothering you Methania?"

"Giant ice worms?" Methania said in shock.

"That was a surprise for me as well." Mori said, acting innocent. "But everyone was aware that this was a harsh planet and I have your signed wavers to prove it. Now move aside!"

Mori walked past her and began to leave. Methania however was not finished and warned him, "I'm sure the Race Council would like to know you're turning this event into a death match."

Mori stopped and warned back, "Be careful what you say Methania. You'll hurt my feelings and don't forget, you need my approval if you ever want to race again."

Raph looked ahead as he continued to drive, the worm still coming after them. He saw upcoming were some sharp curves.

"Give me the gyros on high press. We got some manoeuvring to do." Raph told Falcon.

"You got it." Falcon replied as he raised the gyros giving them more speed and stability. "We'll be out of the glacier in five seconds. Better pick up speed."

"Why?" Raph asked.

"There's a bit of a jump." Falcon answered and they both saw ahead the big gap they need to jump.

"Full throttle Raph!" Falcon called out.

"ALREADY ON IT!" Raph shouted and revved hard, speeding up more.

The biked leapt into the air making the jump. The worm jumped after them, but completely missed them and fell down the chasm.

Raph and Falcon cheered as they made it to the other side, "WAHOOO! / YEAH!"

Nobby watched and announced, "You'll be pleased to know we've picked up signals from Teams Koyashada and Falcon. They're on the move though Falcon is way off course!"

Methania entered the room and Nobby said to her with relief, "At least they're okay Methania."

"Yes." Methania said, relieved as well. She then asked him, "Nobby we've known each other for a long time. Please tell me the truth. What is the Commissioner up to?"

He knew what she was talking about. He too had suspicions about Commissioner Mori but he couldn't tell anyone without any proof.

He answered, "What I know and what I can prove are two different things Methania."

"I think there's a way to get proof, but I'll need your help." Methania said.

Nobby thought and then nodded, listening to her plan.

"Come on! Push it Raph, we've got a lot of time to make up." Falcon said as they drove along the edge of the dangerous road.

Suddenly, Raph started fluxing again and his hands kept going through the bars. Raph shouted as he tried to grab the bars but couldn't, "This isn't good! It's like I'm fading away!"

"We're drifting! Get control!" Falcon shouted.

"I CAN'T! I CAN'T GRAB HOLD OF THE BARS!" Raph shouted and they both screamed as they drove off the side and began to fall.

Raph continued to flux as they got closer to the bottom. Suddenly the fluxing stopped and Raph could grab hold of the bars again.

"HANG ON!" Raph called out and gained control of the bike again.

He moved the bike down the side and drove down. He then said, "Get ready for a little off-road action Raph style!"

He revved and sped towards the edge of a glacier and used it as a ramp, riding right off and gained a high jump and landed right in front of Team Koyashada and stole first place, making Nitro gasp in shock.

"UNBELIEVABLE! Not only is Team Falcon back on course, but they gained the lead!" Nobby announced.

Raph and Falcon crossed the finishing line, winning the second race and the crowds inside the ship cheered for the victors. Raph drove the bike into the ship, parking it. The engine smoking from the race.

"What happened to you out there?" Falcon asked as they got off the bike and took off their helmets.

"I don't know." Raph answered. "It was kind of the same feeling when I got here. Like…like I was being pulled out of something."

Falcon didn't like the sound of that and said, "You can't abandon me now. We're in the middle of a race."

"Hey, it's not like I have any control over it." Raph pointed out.

Falcon's mechanic came down and said, "Racing good. Track not so well. Nice that you lived though."

"Thanks. Check her over from top to bottom, she went through a lot." Falcon told him, gesturing to the still smoking bike.

The next evening, they had relocated for the final race to a rainforest area of the planet. The teams drove out of the ship and waited at the starting line.

"Coming to you live from the moonlit rainforest of Vatora 4! With sinking sludge pits just waiting for them, the last thing these racers need to worry about is the mysterious Mug-Riders who I hear are cannibals. Good thing Commissioner Mori has somehow convinced them to allow us passage through their land." Nobby announced.

The countdown finished and the race had begun, while the ship began to fly off to the finishing line. Raph and Falcon were right behind Team Koyashada.

Falcon heard the warning on his screen and told Raph, "A cautionary ahead. Zero visibility through the sludge pits."

"Zero visibility?" Raph asked, not liking the sound of that.

As they entered the sludge pits area, it was true what Falcon had said. Thanks to the thick fog, it was hard for any of the racers to see where they were going.

"I'm raising the chassis. Just crank the speed up and we'll make it." Falcon said as he pushed a button and the bike rose a bit higher.

Raph revved the controls and sped up faster, riding right over the sludge pits with ease. Rising from the pits were some mean looking aliens riding what appeared to be alien like manta rays with four eyes and sharp teeth.

Suddenly three more rose and began to go after the racers. Falcon noticed them on his screen and told Raph, "The Mug-Riders are attacking!"

Indeed they were as one of the teams were grabbed by the tentacles of the creatures as the Mug-Riders began their attack.

Back at the ship, Methania watched as Mori walked past. She whispered to the camera that Nobby was controlling, "There he is. Keep your race cam on the action but out of sight."

"Race cam on and ready to go live Methania." Nobby responded as he hid the camera. Nobby then activated the camera as she caught up with Mori and set it up live.

"Commissioner Mori, why are the Mug-Riders attacking the racers?" Methania asked, Mori having no clue that everyone was watching him live on camera.

"How should I know? They gave us permission to race through there." Mori answered.

"No they didn't! I checked!" Methania said, showing him the message, making him look at her with fear. "Their answer was no and they threatened retaliation for anyone who dares to invade their forest."

Mori snatched the message from her hand and demanded, "Where did you get that?!"

"You sent our riders out there, knowing they probably wouldn't survive?!" She asked in shock and horror.

Mori however showed no concern for the safety or wellbeing of the racers as he answered, "Well look at it this way; they're given their lives for a good cause."

"What cause? Your ratings?!" Methania retorted back.

Mori was now angry and he practically admitted, "Those ratings are going to keep Planet Racing going for a long time sweetheart! So what if we lose a few racers?! Big deal! They're a dime a dozen and I'll just get more and…."

He stopped when Methania smirked and he finally noticed the camera. His grin dropped and he lied nervously, "Clearly the Mug-Riders are….um….acting like….savages? Having changed their minds and attacking our racers. I promise to personally look into it."

"And I imagine the Race Council will be looking into Commissioner Mori's Planet Racing Ethics, but right now, let's check in on our racers!" Nobby announced.

"So how are we doing Falcon?" Raph asked as they got out of the fog and were maintaining a lead.

Falcon looked behind and saw Team Koyashada catching up behind them. He answered, "Rev it up! Nitro's gaining!"

The two teams leapt off a hill and continued to go back and forth being neck to neck. Team Koyashada then passed them as Nitro teased, "See you at the finish line losers!"

As Team Koyashada sped round the corner, several Mug-Riders came out of the shadows with their weapons and attacked. They sliced at them and caused Nitro and his partner to fall off their bike as it crashed into the ground.

"You were warned! You trespassed on our lands out worlder! You will pay!" One of them sneered as they all prepared to kill them.

Raph saw what was happening and stopped the bike as he said, "We gotta help them."

Falcon however seemed reluctant to help them after they left them behind against the monster alien worm, "Forget it! They left us for worm food."

Raph however got off the bike, took off the helmet and ran over to help Team Koyashada. Falcon shouted, "Get back here! What about the race?!"

Nitro and his partner barely dodged the attacks and when it seemed like they were doomed, Raph leapt in and blocked their spears before kicking them back with a split kick.

"GET TO YOUR BIKE NOW!" Raph shouted at Team Koyashada.

The two of them straightened the bike and Nitro's partner asked as he watched Raph fight against the aliens, "Why is he helping us?"

"Who cares? We got a race to win." Nitro said as he got back on the bike.

Raph kicked the last one down right in the face before heading back to the bike. He placed on the helmet as Falcon complained, "Nitro's taken the lead! You're a fool Raphael."

Raph didn't see it that way and simply said as he sped off, "It was the honourable thing to do."

"There's no room for honour in racing." Falcon argued.

"Winning without honour is not winning." Raph quoted. He then grimaced, "Geeze! I sound like Leo."

Falcon thought about what Raph said and as they continued to speed up, he started to think that maybe he was right. Raph sped up and finally caught back up with Team Koyashada. They both came through a tunnel and jumped out on the other side, heading closer to the finishing line.

"It's the final stretch and it's Team Falcon! No! Team Koyashada!" Nobby announced.

Raph manouvered the bike and got in front of Team Koyashada and crossed the finishing line, breaking hard to come to a stop and both he and Falcon cheered as the winners of the race.

"Team Falcon takes the cup in the USAPR Charity Race Event!" Nobby announced with excitement.

Methania and the entire audience cheered and roared for the winners. Falcon smiled at Raph and said, "Not bad."

Nitro stopped their bike and Nitro threw his helmet to the ground in frustration for losing. Raph and Falcon got off the bike and took off their helmets.

"Way to win a race partner." Falcon said with a smile as he shook Raph's hand.

Suddenly Raph began to fade in out and again. He then said as it felt stronger than before, "Hey! It's happening again! It's pulling me away from here."

Knowing that Raph was about to go home, Falcon quickly told him, "Listen Raph. Just remember that if you do nothing else in your life, you were once a Planet Racer. Not everyone can say that."

Raph smiled back and said before completely fading away, "And you remember, race with honour."

With his new friend gone, Falcon smiled as he repeated what Raph had taught him, "I'll remember Raph. Winning without honour is just not winning."

THE END
