Raph and Leo stood by the windows, watching for anything. Randall and Mikey sat close by nearer to Splinter and the Ancient One. Casey was in the kitchen. He didn't want to stray far from April at this time. Don and April were watching over Karai.
"The Shredder really beat the shell out of Karai. I don't know if she'll make it." Don exclaimed.
"All we can do is wait, and prepare for the battle to come." the Ancient One said. Splinter nodded his agreement.
Leo turned away from the window, "Masters, we don't stand a chance against this Mystic Shredder." He walked over to his senseis, "You should have seen him. It's impossible." He kneeled down next to them.
Splinter was just trying to stay calm, as was the Ancient One. For right now, they were able to take a break from dealing with the Shredder while trying to help Karai get well again.
Splinter replied to Leo's comment, "My son, you four have faced impossible odds in the past. And, like David facing Goliath, you overcame the challenge. Ancient One, do you remember when I brought them to your home in Japan, years and years ago?" he asked the old man.
"Heh heh. How could I forget. They were such a pain!" the Ancient One replied with a giggle.
Mikey was so bored right now, but he was listening. That got his attention. It made Randall turn his head as well. "Years and years ago?" Mikey asked.
"What are you talking about?" Randall asked.
"Yeah, Sensei?" Don added.
"Long ago, just after my beloved Master Yoshi's passing away, I took you all on a journey to Japan." Splinter began telling a story of what happened back when the turtles were all young kids. They had no memories of this trip.
Randall wanted to hear this story for sure.
"You see, through great difficulty, I had procured Master Yoshi's ashes, and, I was determined to honor his wish; that he be buried in the land of his birth, and near his sensei and adoptive father, the Ancient One. It took all my skills as a ninja to keep us from detection, but, we made it." Splinter went on.
The story revealed that the turtles were all super young kids, maybe about three. None of them had masks or gear yet. They couldn't even read yet. There was some kind of bone demon that was stalking the Ancient One.
The turtles, as young kids, could see this demon and the adults could not. Which was why the Ancient One had deemed them a pain being that young, thinking they were making things up before, but when he went to the Tribunal's monastery, he had gone to tell the Tribunal about what had happened to Yoshi, only to find out they already knew. Splinter had been angry before about why the Tribunal had been so dismissive about the Utrom Shredder.
Splinter eventually believed his sons there was something following the Ancient One and caught up with him. And a battle ensued when the turtles pointed out where the demon had gone to find the demon Shredder's artifacts.
Splinter and the Ancient One had almost died because of the invisible demon, and the turtles, Don in particular, had broken the amulet it wore to reveal its presence, and the two adult ninjas took care of the rest.
The Ancient One was proud of the turtles for the aid that they were able to provide.
After the fight was over, the young turtles were proud of their father. And that was when the Tribunal found them.
"Well done, Young One. You have crushed a Bone Demon." Chikara complimented.
"Only with the help of Splinter-san, and his young turtle ninja." the old man explained.
"We sensed the Foot Mystics would strike to retrieve the artifacts, but knew not when. Their cunning is boundless." Kon stated.
"We owe you thanks, Rodent." Juto said. "You, and your kame children."
"Masters, how is it that the children could see the demon, and yet, we could not?" the Ancient One asked.
"The amulet it wore blinded the wise and world-weary. Only those pure-of-heart, children, were immune to its powers." Chikara explained. Young Raph and Mikey played with the demon's body. There was a lot of dust on its clothes.
"Still, not all children would resist its magic. These four are unique. We will have to watch them, for the future." Juto stated. Raph made Mikey sneeze while he laughed.
"However, at present, their knowledge of this night is a danger to them, and to us. Their minds must be relieved of these memories." Kon said.
"I suppose so." Splinter reluctantly agreed.
"Be purged!" Kon gave off a spell that spiritually removed the memories to the young turtles. Afterwards, it was like they were all drunk, being goofy and such. They would be fine after some sleep.
Then, Juto summoned a spell that opened a portal to the home Splinter had chosen then. "My burrow!" Splinter said happily.
"Wait. Splinter, before you go, I have something for your little ones." the Ancient One said. He took out four colored clothes with eye holes in them.
"Ninja masks." Splinter smiled.
The Ancient One proceeded to tie each mask onto a little turtle. So it had been the Ancient One, their great-grandfather, who had given them their mask colors.
"Enough foolishness. Enter the portal." Chikara ordered.
The turtles walked through first. "Goodbye, little kame. Goodbye, Splinter-san." Splinter walked through next, and it closed behind him. "Take care of yourselves." the Ancient One hoped they would be alright.
….
Back to the present, even Casey, Randall and April were paying attention to the story.
"Wow!" Don said.
"To think we'd been to Japan and met the Ninja Tribunal when we were just kids." Leo said with a smile.
"Yes, my sons, and even though you were very small, you helped win a very big victory." Splinter explained.
"Yes! And we'll do it again! We will find a way to defeat the Shredder! All of us!" the Ancient One proclaimed.
Leo got up off the floor. "I hope you're right, Masters, I hope you're right." he looked outside as lightning flashed again. The storm just kept on going throughout the night.
So, no wonder the Tribunal had wanted to take the turtles when all of this mess had begun. Leo had to tell that the Mystics had told them that this had really happened after he and Raph and Mikey had taken the crystal from Yogami to save Don's life back when he was sick as a monster from Bishop's outbreak.
"I wonder if they would have taken me with you, if I had been with you that night?" Randall wondered.
"I'm sure the Tribunal knew of you, Randall. They were watching us for all those years. But time was of the essence. They wanted my sons more." Splinter stated.
"I don't know how useful I could be to them."
"It's alright, Randall. You are still useful to us." Don said. "They would have been really tough on you, like they were on us. But it's amazing what we learned from them, the powers inside ourselves we were never even aware of."
"I just hope that nothing like this happens again when we finally do get rid of the Shredder." Mikey pointed out.
"We shouldn't have to. We'll make sure to destroy the Mystics too!" Raph declared. "We'll get payback for what they did to our friends!"
"Yes, we will, Raph." Leo agreed.
…
Eventually, the turtles, Splinter, and the Ancient One were ready to leave April's and went back down to the lair. April would take care of Karai. Casey also came back over to help her out. Randall just wanted to be with his friends right now, but Splinter insisted he stay at April's for now.
Randall was sure April and Casey could take care of Karai. What if she needed to go to the hospital? Only they could take her there.
The lizard monster reluctantly stayed behind, but he went back up to April's section. He kept an eye out on things out the window.
….
A couple of days later, the Shredder and the Mystics made their next move against the city's Mayor. He destroyed parts of the City's Hall. But then, he changed it to his own needs, and he began broadcasting his own powers to get the world as he wanted it.
….
April was in the bedroom with Karai, changing the bandages on her legs. Casey was on the couch.
Randall was looking out the window on the other side of the building when he spied movement. He glared to get better focus. "Hey, Casey." Randall said. Casey looked up. "There's some movement down there outside. Looks like it's coming toward April's door." He looked down again.
"Lemme see." Casey said. He walked over, and just as Randall had said, there was someone looking like they were getting ready to bust inside. "Well, let's give him a grand welcome, shall we?" Casey smiled.
"Yeah." Randall smiled back. The two of them went down to deal with the intruder.
In the bedroom, Karai finally started to show signs that she was waking up when she talked in her sleep. "Father." Then she shot up in bed. "The Shredder is…" She looked around. "Where am I?"
"You're in my home. We weren't too sure you were going to make it." April said.
"You saved me? But, why?" Karai asked and winced when she moved her legs.
"Four guys, and maybe five, seem to think there's something about you that's worth saving. But, if you try anything, I'll slam you so fast, it'll curl your hair, sister!" April warned her. Karai glared at her in response.
Suddenly, there was a racket outside the room and the two women looked toward the door. Chaplin was pushed down hard onto the floor as Casey and Randall pushed him into the room, hard.
"Yo, April. We found this bozo trying to sneak around back trying to break in." Casey announced. Even Randall had a serious look on his face, growling at the stranger.
Chaplin managed to stand up on his own. "Oh, Mistress! You're alright!" He went over to his leader. "We have to get out of here! We have to get out of this city, maybe even off the planet." The redheaded man helped Karai to her feet. He led her over to the window. "The resurrected Shredder has made his move! And there doesn't seem to be a way of stopping him."
April, Casey, and Randall looked out the window at what he was talking about too. There was indeed, a big ball of pink energy that was enveloping the city, caused by the Shredder. This was bad.
The Shredder's power began to transform New York's buildings into ones of the Shredder's designs. More of what a monster world would look like, though not like what they had looked like in Randall's former world.
Down in the lair, as Splinter knew things were going to get worse before they got better, he decided to tell his sons what he had been seeing for a long time now.
He had them all kneeled in front of him to tell them something. "My sons, terrible nightmares have plagued me for some time now." Splinter began.
"Oh, is it the one where you show up late to class and you're not wearing your shell?" Mikey blurted out. More like a dream he would have had.
The Ancient One came over and smacked him on the head. "Better to be silent and utter fool, than to open your mouth and be you!" he scolded.
Splinter sighed. Mikey turned his attention back to his father. "In the dream, it is always night, the coldest night I have ever felt. The Shredder rides a demon horse through some twisted woods somewhere in ancient Japan. We are his prey. In the face of his might, we can only run. I am helpless to stop him, as he slays each one of you, my sons. As he comes for me, my Master Yoshi appears. But before he can act, the Shredder strikes him too." Splinter explained the vision. "I had hoped the dreams would stop, but, they are getting worse."
"The dream's in Japan, right? Well, this is New York City. So it's all good right? Right?" Mikey asked nervously.
Leo took that moment to call April to make sure. "Hey, April. Everything okay?" he asked.
April had picked up, "I'm afraid not, Leo. Better get over here right away."
The turtles, Splinter and the Ancient One headed back to April's apartment.
Chaplin had brought along Karai's armor. She began getting it on.
The six males on their way to April's saw the pink ball of energy. Don was driving the Battle Shell. "What the shell is that?" Leo asked.
"It is the end of life, as we know it." Splinter replied. "The Shredder's dark magic is enveloping the city! Quickly! We must get to April's."
"Hit it, Donny." Leo said.
Don gassed it and hurried to April's. They soon got there and explanations began.
"Anybody wanna tell me what's happening?" Raph asked.
"The Ninja Tribunal always said that the evil Shredder longed to turn this world into a reflection of his own dark soul. A world full of demons and the undead. A world of chaos and pain! So, you see, the Shredder has begun the transformation of the city!" the Ancient One explained.
Outside, from what the Shredder had changed, the same kind of beings the turtles and Karai and Chaplin had faced before, were now all coming to life on the streets.
"And it's a safe bet that he won't stop until he's changed the entire planet." Leo stated firmly.
"Not without additional energy. The Ancient One and I have meditated on this. We have felt massive fluctuations in the city's lei lines." Splinter declared.
"Lei lines?" Randall asked curiously.
"Yes. You see, lei lines are hidden conduits of mystic energy that run throughout the planet. They are essence of the Earth's very spirit." Splinter explained.
"An uncommon number of them converge in New York. Here, here, and here." the Ancient One added, and pointed to three spots on April's computer. It was also showing the lei lines.
This was all very inspiring stuff to take in.
That was when Karai jumped into the conversation. "The Key Stones! Chaplin, tell them what we discovered." she ordered the redheaded man.
"When the Mystic ninjas escaped Yogami's control after the crystal was stolen from Karai, we did a lot of research into their magic and what they'd been up to on the sly. We learned that for decades, they had blackmailed city officials into installing three Key Stones around the city." He plugged in another cord to show the Key Stones' locations. "One at the Statue of Liberty, one at the United Nations building, and one at Manny's Meats in northern Manhattan. Great chops. These Key Stones are magic amplifiers of solid ectoplasm, but now, seeing that they are set on junctions of lei lines, whoever controlled them would have control over the mystic energies of the whole planet." Chaplin finished his explanation.
The others all gaped in amazement.
"In our training with the Tribunal, we learned that energy is good nor evil. If the Shredder could make use of the Key Stones, then couldn't we?" Leo asked.
"Hm. If we were to access the Key Stones before the Shredder does, and focus our energy into them, then perhaps we could reverse the spell and cripple Shredder in the process." Splinter replied.
"Whatever we're doin,' we need to start doin' it, and fast!" Casey declared. The others looked at him and outside. He was right. The ball of power kept growing.
They all came up with a plan and they were going to split up to take on the Key Stones. Shredder had to be stopped!
Casey, April, and Chaplin all were going to be in the Battle Shell, monitoring the energy and when they needed to focus their energies into the stones. Everyone wore their ear phones on their heads that had one. Karai and the Ancient One were exceptions.
Leonardo, Karai, and the Ancient One were going to take the Sewer Sled to the Statue of Liberty to find that Key Stone.
Donatello, Randall, and Master Splinter were going to take the Turtle Taxi to the United Nations building and find that Key Stone.
And Raphael and Michelangelo would go to Manny's Meats and find that Key Stone. They would take Raph's Shell Cycle.
When the Sewer Sled team was ready, Leo drove it out over the water. "Alright. We each have a team for each Key Stone. Now let's all sound off to tell we're all online." Leo said.
"Check. Mikey and I are on the way." Raph answered.
"Don here with Randall and Splinter. Wish we could give ya more data on what these Key Stones look like, but we just don't have any." Don replied. "However, we do know this, when we find them, we've got to blast them with everything we've got at the same time."
"Roger that, Donatello. Chaplin and I are online and ready to coordinate the timing from here." April answered him.
Everyone wore a head phone mic, even Randall so they could all communicate via shell cell, with the exception of Karai and the Ancient One.
The Turtle Taxi pulled up to the United Nations building and the three of them got out of the car and ran to find anything that might look like a Key Stone. Right now, it was just a guessing game on finding its looks, but there was another way; the ones who wore the amulets would be able to feel it too.
"We're at the UN, April. We'll let you know when we locate that Key Stone." Don said. He and Randall and Splinter headed toward the building.
"We're almost at the Statue of Liberty, April. We'll call in when we've found the Key Stone." Leo said.
For Karai, this had been the first time she was helping the turtles in awhile. Sure, she had wanted to take on the demon Shredder herself, but she was still the turtles' ally. She still just had some stubborn pride that had gotten in the way. Despite her injuries, she was still going to fight. Unless she was dead, she wasn't going to be weak in the time she was needed most.
…
At the Shredder's new castle, the five heralds sensed some kind of danger to them. They appeared on the outside of the castle, above the roof.
"Do you sense it as well, brothers?" the Fire one asked. "The reptiles, the old one, the rat, and the wretched Karai, all approach the Key Stones. Shall we tell the Master?"
"And suffer his wrath for disturbing him?!" the Metal one exclaimed angrily.
"We must deal with them ourselves." the Earth one said.
"Then, let us awaken the Wardens." the Fire one ordered.
…..
Raph and Mikey were getting closer. "We're uptown. We're almost at Manny's Meats." Raph said, then he found the place.
He parked the Shell Cycle and he and Mikey got off, putting their helmets aside. "Yo, April, we're coming up on the third Key Stone. Or at least where it's supposed to be." Raph stated. Then both turtles sniffed the air.
They both were grossed out at the horrendous smell from the dumpster. "I've heard of black magic, but this is blegh magic!" Mikey exclaimed.
"Wha? What a stench! More like Manny's moldy meats. I think I'm gonna go vegetarian." Raph said. They both got closer to the building, whether or not they liked the smell around it. "When we get close enough to the stone, the Ancient One said we'd feel it." Raph stated.
Their amulets suddenly let off a glow and a humming sound. Mikey looked over and saw some glowing writing on a stone. "Yeah, and I think it's feeling us too." he said. "This was a piece of cake! This is gonna be so easy!" he smiled, at least before the cement broke apart and something came from below the ground. It startled them both.
It was a Wind Warden.
"You and your big mouth!" Raph yelled.
…..
The Shredder's power was still growing and it enveloped the Empire State Building.
The Sewer Sled finally reached the island where the Statue of Liberty was. "Well, here we are. Now to find that Key Stone." Leo said.
Leo, Karai, and the Ancient One got off the sled and ran to find the Key Stone.
"There's nothing here! At least nothing out of the ordinary." Leo saw around him. Then, his amulet glowed and hummed. The Key Stone did the same, alerting them to where it was.
"I think you spoke too soon, Leonardo." the Ancient One said. Then, there was some shaking, making them all gasp. "And we are about to have company as well."
Up out of the water came a Fire Warden! It fired its first blow at them, making them all scatter to not get hit.
At the UN, Don, Randall, and Splinter tried to find their Key Stone, but were seeing nothing.
"If the stone is among these small poles here, they don't look all that different from each other." Randall said.
"That Key Stone should be around here somewhere." Don admitted.
Then, Don's amulet did let them know. The Stone in front of him glowed and hummed.
"Whoa! I'm guessing this is it!" he said.
"You can say that again." Randall declared.
"Now to harness its energy." Don said.
"Hurry! I sense… something!" There was a crash behind them and they all turned to look. "Donatello! Randall! Move!" Splinter shouted and pushed Don, making him push Randall over as a car came right at them, just barely missing them as it crashed through the glass.
They were all on the ground, but sat up and saw what had done that throw at them. It was a Water Warden!
"What is that thing?!" Randall exclaimed.
"Sensei, any advice?" Don asked.
"Yes, my son. Hit it! Very, very hard!" Splinter replied in a yell back.
In the Battle Shell, Casey was driving the truck down south. He could see the ball in his rear view mirror. In the back, April and Chaplin were still monitoring the timing.
"How are we doing on time, Chaplin?" April asked him.
"If my calculations are correct, we have one minute and forty two point five seconds until the Shredder's dark energy reaches the Key Stones!" Chaplin replied.
April sighed. "That's not long. Guys! Guys, we only have a minute and a half to do this! Is everyone in place?" she asked her friends.
"Yeah, in place and about to be slammed by a Wind Warden!" Mikey replied back.
The Warden tried to make a punch at him and Raph, but they jumped away. Mikey landed back closer to the Key Stone again, with a banana peel on his head. He sat up and got it off. "Yuck!" Then he looked to his right.
"Well, the good news is that I'm back to where the Key Stone is." Mikey admitted. But the Warden tried again.
"Get out of the way!" Raph came over and moved him before he could be smashed or worse.
"Course, we're gonna get smashed if we stand still long enough to start the whole magic energy thingy!" Mikey exclaimed in fear.
"That's nice. Move!" Raph yelled again and pushed them to different sides as a wind blast came down after them.
Mikey started jumping up a building to escape the warden's blasts.
At the Statue island, Leo, Karai, and the Ancient One kept on dodging the Fire Warden's blows aimed at them. Leo soon got the old man on his shoulders. The Ancient One looked at the warden's body and noticed something on its chest.
"The furnace, we have to get past the chest plate and extinguish its inner fire!" he proclaimed.
They all stopped for a moment before more fire strands were fired at them. They all jumped up the wall to the Statue's footing.
At the UN, Don was running and trying to get ready, but he had to keep on dodging the warden's attacks. "Finishing move time! If I can just get a two-second breather!" Don shouted.
Randall had managed to catch up to Splinter.
"We will distract the beast!" Splinter replied back to his son.
"Donatello! Get ready!" Randall ordered at him.
Splinter jumped up and hit the warden its head with his cane, making it turn its head.
Randall also jumped onto it and hit it with a tonfa, and he landed close to where Splinter did.
"That is right, over here!" Splinter taunted it over to them.
"You can't get us!" Randall added.
Don now took his chance. His chi marks appeared.
"Donatello! Now!" Splinter ordered.
The purple marked turtle ran up to destroy the Warden. "Byakko, unleash the cleaving wind!" Don shouted and the Byakko let out a good blast of energy into the warden's body, destroying its furnace. Then it dropped to the ground.
The three of them ran back toward the Key Stone before the warden's body exploded some more. That fight was over at least.
Over at Manny's Meats, Raph and Mikey were ready to get rid of their warden too.
"Mikey, give him your finishing move!" Raph ordered.
Mikey's chi marks appeard and he started running down the building as he pulled out his weapon. "Go, go Inezuma!" He blasted a blow at the warden, hitting it in the arm. He now landed on the ground.
Now it was Raph's turn. His marks appeared and he began to spin. "Give 'em shell, Banrai!" he yelled. His energy went through the furnace and their warden too, fell to the ground, destroyed.
"High three, Raphie-boy." Mikey said happily. They high three-ed each other and gave each other a thumbs up. They were proud of themselves for taking it down.
At the Statue, Leo and his human comrades had made it to the foot of the Statue. The Fire warden fired at them.
"Not good. He's got us cornered!" Leo stated. He had the Gunshin in his hand. Karai had a magical sword again for a weapon.
The warden's arm came down to smash them.
Karai jumped onto Leo, pushing him out of the way. The Ancient One had jumped the other way.
Karai groaned in pain as she was allowed to sit up. Leo sat up with her. He had landed on his shell.
"I'm so glad we're allies." Leo admitted.
"No problem." Karai added. Then, they both looked at the warden again in anger. They had to get rid of this thing.
They stood up and Leo focused and his chi marks appeared. "Gunshin! Fight with the fire of the Dragon King!" he ordered his weapon. He blasted the warden with what he had into its furnace, and it fell back into the water.
The three of them ran back to the Key Stone, as well as making sure the warden was down for good.
In the Battle Shell, April saw the ball of energy getting closer to her friends. "Guys, hurry! The Shredder's energy is going to reach you in 16 seconds!" she exclaimed.
The ball was going to reach the Statue first.
"When I say go, focus everything you have into the Key Stone!" the Ancient One ordered.
Leo got himself ready.
The ball was getting closer, then the Ancient One told him to do what he had to do. "Go, go, now!"
Leo blasted all his energy from the Gunshin into the Key Stone. A blast of its own energy blasted into the air to start to combat the dark energy.
Then April turned to Don. "Don, it's almost at the UN. It's now or never. You've got to do exactly what Leo did." she ordered.
Don did the same as Leo and the Byakko gave off a good blast of energy too. Randall was fascinated with this special magic, and at the same time, a bit afraid too, because, if they failed, the world would be doomed to this demon Shredder.
Now it was Mike and Raph's turns. "Mikey, Raph, you're up." April told the last two turtles.
The orange and red marked turtles also got ready and blasted their Key Stone with all they had as well.
All three blasts from the Key Stones arose into the air and collided with the Shredder's dark energy. It started to reverse the spell!
As the city started to turn back to normal, the Shredder's creatures also disappeared that were threatening innocent citizens. When the creatures disappeared, they were all left wondering what was going on.
April could see on her city's road map that the evil energy was shrinking. "You did it! It's working!" she said happily. "Way to go, everyone!"
The guys were all glad to hear it, but they still had to keep it up a little longer.
…..
At the castle, the Mystics were in pure alarm as their Master's powers were being reversed. They whimpered in fear.
The Shredder himself was feeling the sensation too and went up to see what was blocking his power.
"What have you done?!" he demanded. "Something is blocking my power. What is happening?!"
The Mystics floated down and bowed in front of him. "We did not wish to disturb you. The turtles, they found the Key Stones, and…" the Earth one tried to explain.
"They discovered the Key Stones, and you chose not to tell me?!" Shredder demanded angrily.
The Mystics gasped as their angry master sent waves of power to subdue them. They fell to the ground in pain.
"I will punish you later, but first, my power is being threatened! This will not stand!" Shredder exclaimed. Then he shot himself to the top of his spire of powerful ball of energy, and he transformed into his dragon avatar.
In his most powerful form yet, he let his energy take over and they combined with the Key Stones and it sent reverse waves back to each stone source.
All of the good guys were thrown back from the energy that was just too powerful for them to overcome at the moment.
The whole city of New York and all its buildings and decorations were now the Shredder's world! The creatures were back too! Even the Statue of Liberty now looked different.
Leo went over to help the Ancient One up. "Master Splinter, what just happened?" he asked his father.
Randall and Don were up on their feet, shockingly observing what had just happened to their city and their world.
"We have lost this battle. Come, let us regroup. We must find another way to fight the Shredder." Splinter ordered.
The friends all got in and on their vehicles and headed back to the lair to regroup.
….
At the castle, the Shredder was now sitting on his new throne.
"Fools! Do they think they stand a chance against me? Do they not realize who I am?! This city is mine! And soon, the world!" the Shredder exclaimed.
….
They all soon reunited at the turtles' lair. Right now, it was better for even April and Casey to stay here. Karai and Chaplain would as well, since they had nowhere else to go at the moment that hadn't been affected by the Shredder's evil powers. It was all above ground for the moment. Even Belvedere Castle above in Central Park had been affected too.
"I've never faced anything like this in my time at all, or anytime I've ever heard of even from Monster standards." Randall exclaimed to Don and Splinter on the way back.
"And this guy is way beyond a simple monster." Don agreed.
"We will regroup and come up with a new plan to fight the Shredder." Splinter stated.
They all left the garage and went to join the others in the living room. April helped Karai to a guest room where she was allowed to change out of her armor into the relaxing clothes again. Her injuries had to be checked to make sure they weren't worse.
The guys started talking about what they were going to do next.
"I think we're going to have a lot more help with this fight, Master Splinter." Leo said.
"I believe you are right, Leonardo. But who can we get on such short notice?" Splinter asked.
"The Justice Force for one." Mikey spoke up.
"Yeah, they agreed to help us." Leo said.
"But who else is capable of fighting at our side? The Foot's all been but wiped out." Raph pointed out.
"As much as I hate to say it, but what about the Purple Dragons and Agent Bishop?" Don asked.
"You'd have to convince those maniacs something special to not try to hurt us!" Randall remarked.
"Yeah, but we aren't having much of a choice, Randall." Leo stated.
"It's too bad the monsters couldn't help us." Mikey said.
"I don't think they'd want to help us. Human problems stay human problems." Randall said. "Monsters just get in, do their job, and go back. Ones that aren't eternally banished from there. I'll be the monster to help you. I'm not going back again."
"Alright, tomorrow, we'll start gathering our old foes and get them to help us! They won't like this world either, I'm sure." Leo stated. "We are the city's only hope, guys."
They all agreed. They would gather their worst enemies and talk them into helping save the city, or it would be the end of the world as they knew it.
Just a note. Because this story is a crossover, it will go to the crossover section when it is finished. Just a couple more to go for this one, and then, there will be a part three starting up. Hope you are all enjoying this.
