"Give it up, Leo. There's nothing you can do. It's been weeks since we last saw her; when she poisoned us!" Raph pointed out.
"Is it really a good idea for Dragan and I to tag along with you guys in search for Karai? I know it's been a while since..the 'incident' but I still have pent up rage for her and Shredder. I don't know if I'll be able to hold back if I see her again." Kara turned away, rubbing the side of her arm.
Perhaps ye hae a point." Dragan sighed as she ran her hand through her hair. "Maybe it is best if we go home." She thought out loud glancing over at Kara.
"No, it's safer if you guys stay with us that way we can keep an eye on you in case something happens." Donnie moved over to Kara and put his arm around her comfortingly before turning to Leo. "If I can't find a cure though we might have to let her go."
"It's not that easy, Donnie. We've been so close to having Master Splinter finally reunite with Karai..we can't give up now. Sometimes you don't have a choice. Sometimes..it's all we can do..keep going on."
Dragan walked up to Leo and leaned her head against his shoulder.
Mikey, being silent the whole time, looked between Donnie and Leo with their girlfriends around their arms. With an annoyed expression and his cheeks puffed out. "That's it!" Mikey suddenly blurted out, standing to his feet. "I'm never having a crush on a girl! Nu-uh! No way! No sir! This turtle is dedicated to one thing and one thing only!"
"Pizza?" Kara asked.
"Video games?" Dragan joined in.
"Well..those too but the main thing is...ninja-ing." Mikey then brought out his nun-chucks and showed his ninja moves.
The door leading to the roof opened up and Raph popped his head out with a grin on his face. "Yo, Mikey, got a little ninja-ing for ya right here." Raph stepped out of the doorway revealing a hose in his hands and turned it on, soaking Mikey with water, who was laughing as he tried to get away.
Raph turned the hose on the others, going for Leo first who felt the water hit his shell and jumped backwards in surprise and watching as Dragan was hit next.
She brought out her shield and used it against the water as it sprayed around her but the damage was already done, her top and hair soaking wet.
Kara moved behind Donnie and laughed as he was Raph's next target but he grabbed her, pulling her close to him as they both began to get soaked while Kara tried to flee, laughing all the same.
Everyone was running around and having a good time til a sudden door of sorts opened up in the sky revealing bright, glowing light.
"What? What is it?" Dragan came into view, her hair now puffed out and frizzy from the water making Kara burst out in laughter.
"You look like a poodle!" She shouted while holding her sides from laughing so hard.
"Ha-ha, very funny. Ye know how hard it is tae manage ma hair. Hold on, I may hae a scrunchie in ma pocket..." Dragan dug through her pocket and smiled brightly, feeling it between her fingers and pulled it out.
Kara watched in amazement as Dragan worked the scrunchie in her mess of a hair only to come out with a cute messy bun with a lock of bang over her face.
"Uh..are you two done yet..because I think we have more important things to worry about..." Donnie stated while pointing at the door, all of them seeing a figure float out.
"I don't think it'll be a problem soon.." Kara blinked when the figure began to fall.
Mikey rushed forward to catch the person only to have them land on top of him. After the dizzy spell, he sat up and looked at the person. "Wah-hoe, are you ok?" Mikey was wide eyed as hearts began to float around her. He stumbled backwards just staring at her.
"Woooah! The Leader, Leonardo. The Warrior, Raphael. The Inventor, Donatello. The Cute One, Michelangelo. The Blind Bandit, Kara Sharper. And The Knight, Dragan Macintosh! In person!"
"Hey, that's me! She knows us, dudes!" Mikey smiled excitedly, looking up at them.
"Yeah, but...how?" Kara looked over at Dragan curiously who shrugged their shoulders just as lost as she was.
"I found you! I actually found you! The turtle warriors and company of legend. This is so grokken cold!" The girl shouts in excitement, jumping up with her fist in the air.
"And company?" Kara looked over at Dragan again with her arms crossed and brow raised. "We were given titles and we're only considered "and company?" I don't buy it."
"Yeah, what gives?" Dragan followed Kara's suit, questioning this stranger.
"There were so many names for you two like companions, friends, lovers?" She gave them a coy, cat like smile making both girls and turtles blush and look away shyly. "But you're only dating two of them so we just went with company." The girl smiled, pointing her finger up like it was a known fact.
"Hate to break the girly chat here but us? Legends? What the heck are you talking about? Nobody even knows we exist."
"Nobody knows...yet. But I come from the future and...wow you guys are so famous. Meeting you is way more interesting than meeting Genghis Khan, or Billy the Kid, or Socrates."
"Please, you're saying you're from the future and we're important enough to be in history books. You expect us to believe that?" Donnie looked like was trying so hard not to laugh.
"Psh, please. I've been hiding who I am for so long now. Why would I risk that just to be in history books?" Kara crossed her arms having some doubt in her as well.
"I dunno, Kara, she did fall from a glowin' door that was floatin' in the sky...plus hae ye seen her outfit? That doesnae look very modern tae me.." Dragan pointed out, whispering to Kara.
"Yes! You all have saved the world many times." The girl smiled, moving her staff behind her back.
"Awesome! High three!" Donnie yells, he and his two brothers sharing a high three together.
"Come on, Kara. Mutants, aliens, savin' New York. Why is time travel so hard tae believe?" Dragan smiled giving her friend a gentle nudge with her shoulder but blinked over at Mikey who was beginning to act strange. "Is he..flirting?...no wye.."
"My name is Renet. I'm a Time Master." Renet held her staff up cool like only to lose her balance and stumble around. "Ok..assistant Time Master..in training."
Raph shoved a love struck Mikey out of the way and pointed at Renet. "More to the point, head dress, prove to us you're from the future."
"Oh, right, almost forgot why I came. I was kinda followed by an evil freak from the future who wants to control all of time and space."
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?!" Leo asked just as another light shined from the sky.
"Oh great..." Kara muttered pulling the flap of her cap over her eyes.
"We're about tae geit our answer, aren't we?" Dragan questioned eyes trailing up towards the bright light.
A large hand was the first thing to appear from the light then the lower half of a goat.
"It's him. Savante Romero."
"El diablo!" Kara yelled dramatically as the thing landed in front of them.
"Eh, what?"
"It means devil in Spanish." Donnie commented his eyes never leaving the thing.
"That...makes sense..."
"How drull. The early twenty first century. Why would you pick this er-oooh, I see. The turtle warriors, of course."
"And..company!" Kara shouted as they all stood protectively in front of Renet.
"But you must realize they cannot defeat me." Savante ignored Kara, looking right at Renet. "Your history is wrong. Give me the time scepter and I shall let you live." Savante gave a sly grin to Renet, holding his hand out for the scepter.
"Ninja's! Let's welcome this freak, New York style!" Leo and the others charged while Kara and Dragan stayed behind to protect Renet.
"Wait, he's a time guy like you, right?" Kara glanced behind her at Renet who gave her a nod.
"Yeah, of sorts. Why?" Renet questioned, confused.
"Guys! Be careful!" She tried to warn but as they went for an attack Savante pushed a button on his wrist and a glowing yellow bubble appeared around him. When the turtles touched it they were frozen in mid-air. Savante waved his hand and they were sent soaring through the air.
"You uh..think we have a chance to beat a demon thing that can control time?" Kara glanced over at Dragan in her fighting stance.
"I guess we'll find out soon enough.."Dragan took a deep breath and yelled her battlecry, charging for Savante with Kara by her side...only for the same thing to happen to them.
"Give it to me, girl!" Savante advanced towards Renet, ready to snatch the scepter from her hands.
"Not this time!" Renet shouted, aiming the top of the scepter at him and blasting him through the doorway with a blast of energy, the door closing behind him. "Woo! Woah, that was like the most evil Time Master ever, right? No worries! I sent him a hundred million years into the past."
"I think I speak for us all when I say: WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON!" Donnie shouted beginning to lose his cool.
"We were tossed like yesterday's garbage by a demon looking creature who wants to take over time and space." Kara stood up rubbing her head, wincing softly when her hand came in contact with a bruise.
"Oh. Right, yeah, sorry. Let me explain everything." Renet cleared her throat to begin her explanation. "In the future, we Time Masters are protectors of time and space and reality itself. I'm an apprentice of the top guy in our order, Lord Simultaneous. Last night, someone tried to steal the time scepter, a piece of tech that is so advanced it can not only control time; it can bend reality itself. It was Savante Romero, the evil, mutant Time Master. With the scepter he could rule all of reality changing history to suit his cruel whims so I took it from him and used it to lure him to the one era he could be defeated in: Now! By the famous turtle warriors and company!"
"Yeah, um, about that.." Kara began, scratching the back of her head.
"But we didn't defeat him, you did." Leo pointed at Renet
"Wouldn't that make history wrong?" Dragan questioned unsure of how to take this news.
The scepter began to suddenly glow. "Oh grugg, this isn't good. Savante is making changes in the past. He's trying to wipe us out in the present!"
"He can do that?"
"Yeah, that happens a lot." Renet admitted, averting her gaze. "I guess I should of let you guys defeat him like history said. Can you help me?"
"Help you?! We don't even know you!" Raph yelled at her.
"Guys..she's lookin' for help an wi ma code it says tae always help those in need. If we don't do somethin' now...who knows what might happen next." Dragan moved beside Renet and turned to her, smiling. "The Knight is on your side."
"Come on, guys! One day we're gonna be famous for doing great things! This is one of them!" Mikey shot his arm up making a pose to impress Renet.
Suddenly, the sound of lightning reached their ears and a large orb of light brightened the sky just before a large face appeared, it's booming voice shouting, "Reneeet!"
"Lord Simultaneous..oh, man! I'm so busted!"
"Foolish child! What have you done?!"
"We gotta get out of here! Lord S is gonna kill me!" Renet ran to the other side of the roof and opened another door, jumping right in.
"Renet, wait for me! BOOYAKASHA!" Mikey shouted, following right after Renet without hesitation.
"I uh..have some brownies in the oven.." Kara turned to walk away but made a small noise when she felt a hand firmly grasp her shoulder.
"Where do ye think you're goin'? I'm not about tae go on this crazy adventure by maself." Dragan said trying to keep her voice even and keep the smile, that was twitching at the corner of her mouth, on her face.
"Uhhh..yes?" Kara slowly turned around to face her and made another noise: Dragan's smile widening and the grip on her shoulder tightening. She stared down at Kara with her uncovered eye. "Wrong answer!" She picked Kara up and ran for the door while Kara flailed around and screamed for Donnie to save her.
They guys watched this and sighed to one another before following suit, the door closing behind them.
All of them screamed, landing on top of one another surrounded by forestry.
"Ugh, where the heck are we?" Mikey sat up while rubbing his head, getting a look around the area.
"More like "when" are we?" Renet stood up, looking around too.
"Avalon." Donnie began, immediately piquing Dragan's interest. "Camelot. Tower of the Demon? This is not good."
"Did ye say Camelot?!" Dragan shot up and grabbed Donnie only to toss him aside, a yelp escaping his mouth, seeing the sign herself. "No wye..you're pullin' ma hairs, guys!"
"Um...guys..look." Leo pointed down below from where they were and they could see a castle and a small village just below them.
"We're in medieval times!" Donnie shouted.
Dragan's face expressed pure happiness as she placed her hands over her cheeks and smiled in excitement.
"WHAT?! WE TRAVELED THIS FAR INTO THE PAST?!" Kara jumped to her feet and pointed at Renet. "Why?!"
"England in the year nine eighty A.D.. That is so cold, right? Isn't that what you say in your time? Cold?"
"It's actually "cool" and no, this is not cool! At all!" Raph yelled in Renet's face, scaring her most likely.
"Um I meant to send him back a hundred million years. You have to help me stop him."
"Are you kidding me?! Where are we suppose to go if we say no? You dropped us into the past, against our wills might I add!" Kara shouted pointing accusingly right at Dragan, who was still in lala land, returning her attention on Renet. "I've been brainwashed and forced to fight against the people I care about! For once, I would of liked a nice, calm evening to just..forget it all! But now I'm here running to fight some mutant demon thing who wants to destroy our existence because someone left the stupid scepter unguarded!"
Everyone stood back at Kara's outburst not knowing how much anger she was really holding in. Donnie went to take a step forward to calm her down but when he heard Renet sigh.
"I-I'm sorry...I know I tend to screw up..a lot..but I had to act quickly or else...there would of been no future. I came to your era because I knew, not just with what the legend says, I knew you guys would be the ones to help me..because you guys are just that "cool", right?" Renet gave her a soft smile.
Kara looked at her for a moment before sighing and turning her head away, feeling bad for yelling at her. "I'm sorry for yelling..it's not you I'm mad at..just the situation."
"Looks like we've got no choice, guys. We've gotta save history." Leo stepped up, looking to Renet.
"Yes! You guys are such groovy daddy-o's!" Renet shouted in excitement.
Kara looked over at her and laughed. "Groovy daddy-o's? Hate to break it to ya but we're millions of years behind for that kind of phrasing." She let out a soft laugh, beginning to feel her anger calm down.
"Aw, snap! Renet! I've got a rad idea!" Mikey pulled her to the side and began making these weird motions before pointing at them, making Renet giggle.
"The scepter can do that. It's just a little quantum manipulation."
"Wait, what's a little quantum manipulation?" Kara asked as the scepter began to glow once more before slamming the end onto the ground, a bright light flashing that caused them all the shield their eyes.
When they opened their eyes they say all of them were in their LARPing outfits, except for Dragan, who was wearing the armor of a knight, and a blue cape that reached her ankles. "Wooah..this is amazing!" She looked herself over, running her hands over the silver metal of her gauntlets then down at her chest plate and legs. She did a small spin to see her cape floating around her and let out a squeal of excitement.
"Wow, Dragan, you look..amazing." Leo looked at her, a soft blush on his cheeks.
Dragan blushed as well and looked away though she had a bright smile on her face.
"Speak for yourself!" Kara shouted, wearing her dragon outfit. "I can't wear this! I might get attacked!" She could feel Dragan's eyes on her and when she glanced her way she noticed her slowly reaching for her sword. "Stop that." She deadpanned.
"Hmm..I guess I could give this a try. Hold on." Renet twirled the scepter only this time, pointing it right at her.
Kara squeezed her eyes shut expecting it to be painful but when nothing happened she opened her eyes to see Renet leaning against the scepter with a smile on her face. "So, what do you think?"
She looked down at herself and blinked in surprise seeing she was wearing a white, turtleneck leotard top; the neck actually reaching over and covering her face below the nose, black baggy pants that were pulled up and tied around her knees with her gloves hanging around a belt over her waist, ankle length black, leather boots, and a waist length black cape. She stared wide eyed at herself then up at Renet before suddenly pouncing on her, clinging to her tightly. "This is so awesome! I take back everything I said! This is so cold! I love it!"
Renet blushed softly at the hugging and gave a soft laugh. "Heh, i-it's ok. I forgive you. Wait..do you hear that?" She looked around as Kara let her go and closed her eyes, pointing forward.
"A group of knights are coming this way on horseback." She whispered and looked up just as they came into view.
"See? I told ye he was not here. We were suppose to turn left from the mulberry bush!" One knight said but blinked looking down at them. "Halt, strangers! This land belongs to the King! What business have ye here? Oh? Blessed horse, I think the little green ones are orcs."
Kara looked away trying not to laugh.
One knight stopped in front of Raph, their horse snorting air out and scared Raph to where he fell to the ground. "Oi, that one right there is an ugly one, there it is."
"Who're you calling ugly?" Raph smacked the knight's stick away from him as he stood.
Kara and Dragan were trembling trying to contain their laughter.
"Eh, look at this one, the fiercest of the lot. I bet he eats children for dinner, that he does."
"I don't eat people, dude! I'm a pizzatarian!" Mikey crossed his arms at the knights.
Kara and Dragan had enough and bursted into laughter grabbing the attention of the knights. One noticed the symbol on Dragan's shield and pointed their sword accusingly at her. "Ye have the shield of Sir Macintosh! Did ye steal it from him while his back be turned?! Thief!"
"Wah? No wye! I'm not a thief!" Dragan was taken aback by their sudden accusation.
"A woman has no place in the order of the knights." Another knight pointed out. "It be a man's job to protect the king and his land. Do not feint, maiden fares. We will free you of your evil orc captors and bring this thief to the dungeons to await trial."
"Uh..you did not just call my friend a thief. Prepare to eat those words, metal man." Kara went to slip on her gloves but blinked when Dragan shot her arm out in front of her.
"Nae, this be ma fight, Kara." Dragan brought out her sword and shield, stepping towards her challenger.
"Attack the Pizzatarians!" One Knight shouted as both sides went in to fight.
Kara leaned back to watch the fight knowing that the knights wouldn't be a match for the guys so instead, turned her attention to Dragan.
She blocked the knights attack with her shield noticing his posture was somewhat sloppy so she swung her sword towards his feet causing him to stumble backwards trying to evade her attack and lifted her sword up, bringing it down on his head, knocking him to the ground. "Now," Dragan began standing over him with her sword pointed at his head. "Tak that back." She glared down at the knight making him quiver with fear.
"Now, what do we hae here?" A male voice called out from within the woods.
"Dragan, look ou-!" Kara shouted as a tall man in silver, dented armor was suddenly next to Dragan, swinging his sword at her.
She jumped back in time to evade the attack. Instantly, she could tell that this knight was different.
"Why ye be attackin' ma men for?" The knight asked he and Dragan circling each other.
"Thay attacked ma friends an I first. We only retaliated an defeated them." Dragan looked the man's armor over when she noticed something very peculiar; the sword he carried was the exact same one she had in her hands. "No wye..could it be...thay did say Macintosh...maybe.."
"Sir Macintosh! These fowl orcs were going to eat these young maidens here!" The knight stood up to look at the knight. "We were only trying to protect them!"
"Wait...Macintosh?" Dragan asked, slowly beginning to lower her weapon.
"Well...thay do look like goblins but I suppose it is time we got tae the bottom o' this." The knight put away his sword and took his helmet off revealing long, going a little past his shoulders, red hair that was tied in a loose ponytail, green and blue eyes similar to Dragan's, freckles across his cheeks, and a small scruff of red beard on his chin. "We mean ye aw nae harm, goblins. Free thyn maidens an we will let ye go. If not, then we will slaughter thee."
"No wye...Drago Macintosh?" Dragan whispered, dropping her shield in shock.
"Aye, that be ma name. Who are ye?" Drago looked down at her in confusion when he seemed to notice something odd about her. "Ye seem..familiar...hae we met before?" He walked over to her and bend down to his knees to get a good "eye to eye" look at her. "Wait a minute.." He leaned over and picked up the shield recognizing the symbol of the black dragon curling around itself. "This be ma shield...how did ye come across it?"
"This is getting kinda weird.." Kara leaned towards Renet, whispering, "She won't get in trouble if they meet right? I'm pretty sure that is her ancestor."
"I think it'll be alright. As long as she doesn't reveal who she really is then we should be ok...I think."
"I don't mean to butt in but did Dragan just say he was a Macintosh? As in, her last name?" Leo cut in looking between the two then over at Dragan.
"I think we're missing the most important fact here; They look like each other!" Mikey whispered loudly for them to hear making all of them look over at them.
Drago lifted her bangs from her face and seemed utterly surprised but had a small grin on his face. "Hey, now, ye look a lot like me. We would not happen tae be related, would we?" He chuckled softly moving his hand from her face but blinked in surprise when she suddenly hugged him. His arms hovered in the air over her but he soon relaxed, wrapping his arms around her; for some reason it felt right.
Renet was trying to get Dragan's attention and warn her not to tell him anything but she wasn't paying attention.
"Funny. I figured I was the only Scottsman here in England." Drago commented letting go of Dragan and standing up. "That symbol be a proud part o' ma family clan. Where did ye come across it?" He asked Dragan somewhat suspicious.
Dragan blushed softly and looked away. "I am a fan o' yours, Sir Macintosh..I hae been told that just because I am a woman that..I cannae be a knight but I am willin' tae prove those people wrong. I painted this symbol as inspiration. Ye hae inspired me tae fufill ma dreams." Drago seemed taken back at this news, his cheeks reddening at the praise.
"Wow, I had nae idea..that's...wow." Drago chuckled his cheeks lighting up shyly as he rubbed the back of his head. He took a deep breath to calm himself and stood straight, looking down at her with soft eyes. "The world will not always be on your side. Ye will be met wi many challenges as a knight but ye must remember: Wi courage an truth ye can conquer anything. As our code says: A true knight is not measured by the size o' their strength; but by the size o' their hearts. Stay strong, young knight, an ye will become one o' the greatest out thare." He placed his hand over her shoulder and gave her a gentle squeeze.
Dragan felt tears come to her eyes but she quickly rubbed them away and gave a nod. "I promise, I will become a great knight."
Drago smiled down at her but blinked when the sound of someone clearing their throat broke the moment. Both of them looked over at Renet, with a smiling, teary eyed Kara by her side, look at them with a nervous smile; not wanting to ruin the moment.
"Please, sir knights, you must understand. These turtles are not orcs; they're friendly goblins from the uh..western realms."
Drago looked down at Dragan then over to his fellow knights. "Lower thyn weapons. I trust their words."
One knight lifted up the helmet revealing a scrawny face with a scruffy beard and unfocused eyes. "Oooh, I see. Friendly goblin, will you live in my cellar and make shoes?" The knight walked up to Raph, smiling.
"I can make your face into a shoe!" Raph growled.
Donnie placed his hand over his shoulder and moved him aside so he could speak instead. "Good sir, we're trying to find the tower of Savante Romero."
Drago blinked in surprise at them all. "What?!"
"E-Gad! You do not want to go there! You do not want to even speak his name lest you summon him."
"Aye, his words speak truth. Our King has commanded us tae seek out the demon an slay him."
"Who? Savante Romero? That punk? Pleeease! I can take that hornheaded freak in my sleep. He's chump change! A crumb snatcher! He's..." Mikey looked at everyone's expression and sighed. "He's right behind me, isn't he?"
Savante growled as he threw his fists in the air, smacking Mikey away. "Fools!" He reached for Renet and grabbed the scepter, throwing her aside and causing her to lose her grip.
"Finally. The scepter is mine!" Savante held the scepter high in victory, adding an evil laugh.
"Tis the demon from the tower!" A knight screamed as they all retreated.
"Fellow knights! Cease the retreat! We do not run away like cowards!" Drago yelled after them but they were already out of sight. He let out a sigh and glanced over at Dragan in embarrassment. "Thay are still in trainin'." Drago lowered his helmet over his head and pulled out his sword. "For King an Glory!" He shouted, raising his sword high before charging for the demon, Dragan right beside him.
Savante raised the scepter, slamming the end on the ground as the timer on the scepter glew bright at them all. "You shall forever be stuck in the confines of time." Savante chanted just as Drago and Dragan raised their swords to strike him down; he disappeared.
Everything seemed to blur and soon the scene replayed, Savante's words echoing at them as they all go to charge but Renet stood there somewhat confused. It happened once again before they began to realize something wasn't right.
"What the heck is going on?" Raph asked in confusion.
"Yeah, didn't this just happen?"
"That demon is toying with us!" Kara yelled in anger just as they were sent back to the beginning of the scene once more.
"Savante must of stuck us in some kind of time loop." Donnie observed while Savante repeated the words again.
"Dudes! I'm starting to think we'll forever be stuck in the confines of time!"
"Well, head dress! You got us into this." Raph pointed at Renet as she slammed her fists together, wearing some kind of knuckle busters, it beginning to glow as the scene went to repeat.
When Savante began his chant Renet did an uppercut on him and sent him flying as the time loop around them cracked and shattered.
Donnie and Kara stared amazed at Renet. "You punched out the time loop? That. Is...awesome!" Donnie and Kara pulled her into a group hug. "That was so cool! I thought I was the only one who liked punching stuff. You have to get me some of those!" Kara's eyes sparkled with stars as she held her hand to examine them.
"Come on. We have to find Savante!" Kara followed after Renet and jumped in joy when she found out they were going by horseback.
"This is so cool! It's been ages since I've ridden on a horse!"
Dragan sheathed her sword and looked up at Drago. "Come wi us. It will be a great adventure!"
Drago pulled his helmet off his face and shook his head. "Sorry, lass, but I must find ma fellow knights. Thay need me more. Plus, I believe that wi ye by their side thay will be in good hands. Keep your head high an your spirits higher, young knight." He bent down and kissed the top of her head before turning around and leaving.
Dragan watched him leave and she held her hand close to her chest wanting to stay with and fight along side him but knew she didn't belong here. She blinked when he turned around and gave her a cheerful grin with a wave. She smiled brightly in return reaching her arm up high and waving back at him. She waited til he was gone before turning to her friends and went to climb on to the horse with Leo til she noticed Raph having trouble and laughed. "Here, Raph, I'll help ye."
Kara glanced back at Donnie with a bright grin on her face when she felt his arms around her waist. "I'm a little rusty but I'll get the hang of it in no time."
"Let's try that way. Come on." Leo pointed to the direction as Dragan strolled over beside him.
"How do ya guys know how tae ride horseback? Dragan asked as Kara rode to them.
"My aunt owns a farm back in Michigan. Horses were one of the main animals she had. She taught me how to ride and care for them." Kara smiled looking over at Leo. "What about you two?" She asked as they began their journey.
"Sorta similar tae ye but it was a family friend who awned it. I would help wi chores and when I was old enough, before we moved, I was taught how to ride as well."
"That is cool." Kara looked over at Mikey seeing him in tears and wondered what that was about but shrugged.
It was dark by the time they were close to Savante's tower.
"Savante's tower is just beyond this uber, creepy cemetery." Leo said as he lead the way.
"Did you seriously just say "uber", Leo?" Kara chuckled but blinked as they entered the cemetery. "Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"
"Can we go, like, around the uber creepy cemetery?" Mikey asked in a scared tone.
"I'm with you on that.." Kara stared down at all the skeletons and tombs, shuddering.
"Big, bad elven prince scaaared?" Raph taunted Mikey with a grin on his face making Dragan roll her eyes.
Raph was chuckling to himself as Savante himself appeared above them. The horse Dragan and Raph were on became startled and bucked back while Dragan tried to calm it down it forced Raph off with a yell, landing on his back as she managed to calm the horse.
"Fools!" He yelled causing the horses to become nervous. "Do you think you can stop the greatest Time Master ever? Savante Romero rules everything. Even death." The scepter glew and he raised it high above him as skeletons around them began breaking through the ground and climbing out of their tombs revealing fallen warriors.
"It's another horror movie!" Kara screamed as the horses became scared as well and bucked off their riders, fleeing the scene. "Hey, you're suppose to be trained!" She yelled after them as she stood. She turned to help Donnie up and jumped up as skeleton arms shot up and began grabbing his face. "Oh, no you don't!" She pulled the arms off of him and helped him to his feet.
"Dude, this is like my worst nightmare times ten!" Mikey said as he helped Renet to her feet.
"Even worse than a world without pizza?" Donnie questioned looking over at Mikey who had to ponder that for a moment. "Ok, second worst."
The skeleton warriors surrounded them, beginning to slowly advance.
Kara brought out her gloves and activated the blades as she moved into her fighting stance and charged, dodging their swords and sliding behind them, slicing their heads off or punching them to dust. "Ok..this is a little too easy. Skeletons aren't too hard."
"We got this, Kara. No need tae be afraid." Dragan called from behind her, attacking with ease. She sliced another in half and stood victorious til she noticed it beginning to shake and sit up on it's own. She raised her defenses watching as the skeleton making putting itself back together and stand up again as if nothing happened. "Ok, I was wrong..."
"Well, my energy knuckles are burned out and the only weapon I have left is a single entropy dart. One last resort to destroy the scepter." Renet said as she and Mikey were back to back surrounded by skeletons.
"Destroy the scepter? But we'll be trapped here forever!" Donnie smacked a skeleton away with his staff, moving to Mikey and Renet's side with Raph, Kara, and Dragan joining them.
"I don't know how much more I can dish out.." Kara panted punching another skeleton across the face, its head popping off.
Leo rode towards them on the horse, slicing another skeleton and looked down at them.
"Come on, warriors of legend! Let's ride!" Just as he said that the horses charged in, running over some skeletons and stopped in front of them.
"So they are trained!" Kara said as they climbed on with their partners and rode out of the cemetery, Renet letting out a battlecry and Mikey staring with hearts in his eyes, falling even more in love.
The skeletons went to follow but once their feet left the grounds of the cemetery the bones fell apart on the spot.
They reached the cliff in front of the tower and they reared their horses all of them shouting their battlecries before making their way to the entrance.
Hiding above the ceiling pillars they found the room Savante was in.
"-I really want to see the look on the other Time Master's faces when I neutralize them." He chuckled darkly before leaning his hand against the knuckles of his hand. Everyone was crouched above him ready to attack but waiting for the right moment.
"Come on, attack. I haven't got all the time in the world. Most of it, yes." He stared into the timer of the scepter as they all jumped down to attack but he paused them in midair, the timer still going down on the scepter. "Toys are such fun." He chuckled, flicking the timer as the sands began reversing, the turtles and others as well.
"Ok, guys. We'll sneak across on that chandelier chain and wait..didn't we just use this?" Leo looked over at Donnie for answers.
"Oh no. He's messing with time again."
"Get him!" Raph yelled as everyone but Kara and Dragan charged, watching as their friends were bubbled.
Kara glanced over at Dragan and gave her a nod, pointing for her to stay here while she goes around the other side for a surprise attack from both of them. Both Kara and Dragan climbed down silently while Savante began to wonder aloud what to do with them.
Kara turned towards Renet noticing she was aiming at Savante and remembered she had a last resort and shook her head for her not to and placed her finger to her lips. Kara looked over at Dragan and gave a nod as they both advanced towards Savante, Kara running at his side and Dragan to his back.
"What?!" Savante noticed her as she closed in and went to aim the scepter at her only to yell in pain when Dragan sliced her sword down his back. Kara then jumped up and sent her fist flying in his face forcing him to drop the scepter.
Renet used the entropy dart to burst her and Mikey's bubble.
Savante went to grab at Kara but looked down when a chain wrapped around his torso, restraining his arms at his sides. As soon as he let go of the scepter the bubbles around the guys bursted, dropping them to their feet.
"Noo!" Savante roared as flames formed inside his mouth. The whole room began to tremble as the cogs and wheels of the clocks began to separate and move causing them all to lose their footing, the scepter falling to the lower levels.
Everyone soon fell after the scepter, landing on different cogs. Kara wasted no time in jumping to her feet and going for the scepter, Dragan right behind her.
Savante dropped down to them and Dragan turned, fighting him off with her sword and shield as Kara went to reach for the scepter he smacked Dragan aside, throwing her into a sideways cog and shot fire out of his mouth at Kara forcing her to jump back away from the scepter and watch it fall. She grinned when she saw Renet and Mikey going for it and decided to by them some time, charging for Savante but he grabbed her by the face and threw her towards the edge to fall to her demise. She let out a yell but blinked when she felt a hand grab her waist and pull her close to them. Seeing Donnie she smiled in relief before going after Savante.
Dragan landed on top of and chuckled as he yelled out in anger, throwing her aside but she caught her footing and charged, slamming her shield into his stomach area. She glanced over seeing Donnie close to the scepter and thrusted her sword to stab at him but he grabbed the sword with his hand and threw it aside, headbutting her, and knocking her down.
He walked over her as she groaned in pain and lifted Donnie up by his cape, opening his mouth to burn him alive.
Raph ran at him, axe raised and slammed it down onto his wrist, damaging the clock on it and causing it to malfunction and electrocute him; forcing him to let Donnie go and the tower to stop moving.
Savante was brought to his knees and he slowly looked up at them, Leo helping Dragan to her feet, Raph with Renet, Donnie and Kara side by side, and an angry Mikey glaring at him. "Oh dear.."
Mikey spin kicked Savante down to the lower level.
"It's the blue button, Donatello!" Renet shouted, Donnie having the staff in his hands.
He walked to the edge, looking at the staff. "Let's see how this thing works." He pressed the blue button, the scepter glowing bright and pointed it right at Savante.
"Turtle, let's talk before you make any more rash decisions." Savante cringed while cowering away.
"I think you mean to say, "Turtle Warrior of Legend."" Kara smirked down at him, her arms crossed as the light hit Savante and sent him away through a door.
Once it closed, Donnie turned around to look at Renet.
"So are you sure this time? Is he gone for good?"
"Absolutely...sort of. Ninety six percent certain?" Renet glanced over at Raph with an innocent smile on her face.
Suddenly, the large face from before popped up above them.
"Renet! You must come back to the future now! You are grounded!"
"Uggh, gruck. On my way Lord Simultaneous. Just gotta drop off the turtles and company first."
"Oh! The Turtle Warriors of Legend. Very cold." The face grinned just before disappearing.
Kara turned to Donnie and smiled at him. "Ok, when you shot Savante back into time...that was very hot."
Donnie blushed deeply rubbing the back of his head but cleared his throat and acted as if it was nothing. "Well, it comes naturally." He smirked, his eyes closed but blinked when Kara suddenly pounced on him, smothering him with kisses.
"Um...I'm going to need to staff back." Renet blinked down at him as he raised it up for her to grab, Kara still kissing him.
"Ok, everybody, let's go home." Renet wiped away the sweat off her forehead as she took the staff back but blinked when Mikey grabbed her attention.
"Um..Renet..can we kick it in the future together? Just you and me? For a little while?" Mikey shyly played with his elf ears, it making a boing sound, as he closed his eyes.
Dragan placed her hands over her cheeks, watching Mikey.
"Aww, I would love that, Mikey. Maybe someday." Renet grabbed his chin and kissed him on his cheek.
"Oh ma gosh. This is so cute!" Dragan squealed, hugging Leo's arm, watching Mikey's reaction.
"Heh, guess he's finally growing up, huh?" Leo glanced down at his happy, fallen brother then over at Renet.
"Let's go home heroes." She smiled while activating a door for them.
Kara and Donnie stood up, kiss marks all over Donnie's face, as they held hands and jumped through together.
Then Leo and Dragan.
Raph behind them rolling his eyes in disgust.
And lastly, Mikey and Renet who grabbed each other's hand and jumped through, Mikey yelling, "Cowabunga!"
Thunder and Lightning crashed around them and Kara suddenly grew nervous.
"Oh no! Time interference!" Renet yelled over the sounds. "Somethings wrong!"
Kara felt a pulling sensation and she glanced behind her seeing everyone getting pulled back. Turning around, she went to grab Dragan's hand for them to start a chain as Renet tried to freeze them in place.
Suddenly, a hole in space appeared behind them and sucked them all in.
"Renet!" Mikey shouted as he tried to reach for her just before they all disappeared.
Landing on the ground again, Kara rose to her feet, rubbing her head. "There's got to be a better way to travel.." She looked around and began to shake everyone.
"Where the heck are we now?" Raph yelled in annoyance.
"The time stream must of been messed with." Leo explained adjusting his helmet. "Now we're in.."
"Japan?" Donnie finished as they walked to the edge, overlooking the city.
"What time are we in, though?" Kara asked.
"It looks tae be modern..but we cannae know for sure just yet.."
"Look out!" Kara yelled as three arrows landed in front of Dragan causing her and the others to jump back and bring out their weapons.
Ninja's in red uniforms surrounded them.
"Dudes...ninjas." Mikey whispered.
"I think we're in..deep trouble." Leo narrowed his as the ninjas readied for an attack.
