"Since the beginning of time, before the event you have come to know as the Big Bang, there have always been 6 singularities, 6 forces of ultimate power. Then the universe exploded into existence with the Big Bang and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated physical forms each with a consciousness of its own. These beings have come to be known as the Cosmic Elementals. Each being has mastery over one of the 6 elemental forces of the universe: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning and Metal. These beings are the most powerful in all of the universe and cannot be defeated by any normal being lest their existence be wiped from the face of the universe upon contact, and the only being capable of defeating a Cosmic Elemental is a Cosmic Elemental, or one with the powers of a Cosmic Elemental. Many eons ago, a great war was raged between the Daagons, the inhabitants of the cosmic ocean Varuna and their ruler Hiidrala, and Metallum, the Cosmic Elemental of Metal. With them were their greatest protectors, the Wind and Lightning Cosmic Elementals known as Tatsumaki and Kaminari. The two clashed in an epic battle that scarred the very universe itself, but before a victor could be decided Metallum betrayed Kaminari and attempted to take both their powers for himself in order to conquer not only Varuna, but the entire universe itself. In the face of this betrayal, Tatsumaki and Kaminari agreed to combine their power to face Metallum and end him, and in doing so they performed an ancient ritual known only to the Cosmic Elementals: Elemental Fusion, in which they would fuse into one new being altogether with both of their powers but at the cost of their fusion being permanent. With this they forged a new being with a new elemental force: Tempestatis, the Cosmic Elemental of the Hurricane. The battle was fierce and ravaged the universe, but the the end the battle was lost. Metallium was badly injured nearly beyond recovery but he had triumphed. With his dying breath, Tempestatis made a vow: even if it took him thousands upon thousands of lifetimes, he would see that Metallum would fall for his betrayal. Until the day comes when Metallum is slain the cycle will continue and if that day never comes, the true spirit of the Hurricane will be lost forever to the memory of time."

Adam bolted up, sweat dripping down his face 'Wow, out of all of the dreams I've had not centered around Mal that one is probably the most unnerving even after I find out the truth of it all.'

"Another nightmare about your foe?"

Adam looked up and found Alejandro sitting "And just how long have you been watching me sleep?"

"Mike and Zoey took the RV and departed for a weekend away in Niagara Falls, they dropped us off here and I brought you into your apartment. That was about an hour ago."

"I see. As for the dream, it wasn't about Mal. Not this one, it was just… really unsettling. You think it means something?"

"Perhaps, but right now I suppose only time will tell. So what do you intend to do now?"

"Well to be honest, I've only got a rough estimate as it is. Right now I'm just thinking of meeting up with Zeke, ordering a pizza and watching Bridgette's surfing tournament on TV."

"Unfortunately that will have to wait."

Adam jumped when he found Aurora sitting at the counter drinking a cup of coffee "And just how long have the two of you been here?"

"About 20 minutes. Alejandro was kind enough to let us in, I decided that my business with the two of you could wait until you had awaken. After all, spending as much time as you did combatting Urere and his forces to Sphaera Ignis had drained you significantly. But I'm afraid I need your help with a certain task, you and Alejandro both."

"Not that we're not willing Aurora but it's only been 3 days, what could possibly have happened to you in that time?"

"It's not a matter of what has happened to me, but to an ancient ally of the order of the Masters of the Mystic Arts for thousands upon thousands of nextons, presiding in one of the 10 Dimensions."

"10 dimensions? Wait a second, does that mean…"

"Correct Adam, we must aid the High Council of… the Utrom."

"...Oh my god, I think I just peed a little. Did I just say that out loud?"

"Yes, yes you did."

"So does this mean that… the Utrom, as in the Utrom from the Turtles…"

"They shall be present as well."

"...You know it's a good thing Cody isn't here or he'd have a heart attack."

"You say that as it you are right now." Alejandro pointed out.

"To be honest, I kind of am. So why are we going to Dimension X exactly?"

"Because the Utrom are under threat by the Kraang invading while the Turtles are present to discuss about the Black Hole Generator known as the Heart of Darkness and the locations of the pieces. Using a spell I shall send us back to when the Turtles first arrive at the main base of the council, before the forces of the Kraang attack." with her eyes glowing a shade of gold she projected a portal, revealing a pink colored atmosphere.

"Hold on a second." Adam turned to Alejandro "So what now? You realize that this will be dangerous."

"Perhaps, but with you what is not dangerous?" Alejandro gripped Adam's shoulder "You saved my from my own darkness and inner demons, and you gave me a chance to redeem myself. You have my word, I will follow you into whatever danger you may encounter. I am sworn to by my code of honor."

"Good enough for me. Now let's go, we've got a dimension to save!" and with that he jumped into the portal, with Alejandro right behind him and Aurora following a mere moment after that, the portal closing after her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The skies of Dimension X were pink, wigged out and very unorthodox.

At least in Alejandro's opinion "I can see literally nothing but the most unorthodox phenomenon in this realm."

Adam, on the other hand, was nearly drooling "It's so beautiful…" he was promptly slapped on the back of his head by Alejandro.

"Is that better?"

"Much actually, thank you. But being high on the nostalgia aside, this place looks absolutely incredible. I mean the scatterpillar, the little squeeble guys that produce green goo that you can apparently eat." he picked up one of them and stuffed them in his pocket "That I will most definitely not eat. I mean even the gigantic Kraathatrogon coming towards us. Oh yeah that reminds me." he threw Shatterstorm at the Kraathatrogon, slicing it in two before it returned to his hand "God I love this thing."

"As you should, especially here." Aurora "This dimension is as dangerous as it is beautiful, you must keep on your guard at all times."

"I always do." they started walking "Hey how come we can breath in here without any kind of space helmets?"

"Oh that's because of the Mystic Wristbands you and Alejandro wear, they permeate an invisible suit of armor of sorts that keeps in your oxygen which allows you to breathe. It also controls your body temperature and adjusts to various different climates."

"Oh. That's pretty cool."

"Indeed but we must hurry, the sooner we locate the Utrom Council the sooner we can warn them about the Kraang attack." and the three of them went on their way, unaware of a Kraang spy drone watching them from afar.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A half hour of searching passed.

Alejandro suddenly stopped the others on the edge of one of the floating islands "That's enough, our travelling is at an end. We've arrived."

"I don't see anything in front of us." Adam pointed out.

"That mi amigo is the idea." Alejandro picked up a nearby rock and threw it forward, revealing a cloaking shield "As you can see, the Utroms clearly believe in hiding in plain sight. Now come, I believe we should hurry." and he leapt into the force field.

Adam followed after with with Aurora right behind, and found himself in the secret fortress of the Utrom High Council "Holy crap, now this is what I call a hideout. If only my 14 year old self could see me now." this was followed by them being surrounded by Utrom drones pointing blasters at them.

"Even now?"

"Oh yeah, especially now. You've gotta give it to the Utroms, their droids definitely look a lot better than the Kraang's."

That was when Bishop showed up with a bazooka resting on his shoulder "Who are you? How did you find our secret base? And why did you throw a rock at my head? Seriously, repairing this suit is not easy."

This was when Aurora stepped forward "It's been quite some time Bishop, it's good to see you as always." she held out her hand."

Bishop accepted as they did a secret Utrom handshake "Master Aurora, excellent to see you as always. What brings you here?"

"I have brought you two noble warriors who have earned names for themselves and an audience with the full Utrom Council. One has obtained the power of the Crimson Jaguar, a power considered legendary by the Burromuerto bloodline on the planet known as Earth in the 8th dimension. The other is the warrior that the Masters of the Mystic arts have been seeking for centuries."

"Anything for you Aurora, this way. Also, Professor Honeycutt and the warriors of Earth of the 7th dimension known as the Turtles." this elected a near squeal from Adam.

"Very well then, I know that I've been wishing to speak to the Professor about some matters as well."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It wasn't long before the group had reached the insides of the Utrom High Council's Headquarters, and were being led down a high tech looking hallway.

Adam observed their surroundings as they made their way "Man if my 12 year old self could see me now."

"You said that already." Alejandro pointed out.

"So what's your point?"

"Quiet." Aurora shut them up "We're here."

Sure enough, Bishop stood in the room in front of them with the Utrom Council, as well as some other figures "Professor Zayton Honeycutt and the Turtles from Earth of Dimension 7, Mystic Arts master Aurora and warriors Adam and Alejandro of Dimension 9, allow me to present to all of you the sacred high council of the Utrom- Pawn, Rook and Queen."

Adam found himself breathing heavy as he grabbed Alejandro by the shoulders "Dude it's them, it's really them… You might have to slap me."

Alejandro smacked him on the back of the head "Better?"

"Much actually, thank you."

Michelangelo on the other hand was freaked out at the sight of the Utrom Council "Woah dude, they look just like Irma and Miss Campbell." he was promptly shut by by Raphael through a smack upside the head.

Queen took her seat, with everyone else doing the same "The Council acknowledges the Professor and the Turtles, and the Master Aurora and her companions are welcomed as observants over this discussion."

Fugitoid took his seat along with the Turtles "Utrom High Council these Turtles are the protectors of the planet Earth of dimension 7, they have fought and defeated the Kraang time and time again and are worthy of your help."

"The Utrom are already aware of the Turtles and all of the good they have done for the planet Earth of Dimension 7."

"So why the hell didn't you help us before?" asked Raphael.

"Because Earthlings cannot always be trusted." Rook told him "Regardless of the dimension, you are an irrational species." this earned dirty looks from Adam and Alejandro, only for them to be called off by Aurora "And still despite this, you have the right to know the truth about the history of the Utrom." she displayed a holographic projection of their history "For several millions of nextons the Utrom all had a variety of individual personalities, that is until one nexton in which an Utrom scientist by the name of Kraang had discovered the mutagen of the Kraathatrogon worm. Kraang Prime was brought into being and became deranged in the process, he used his horrible psychic powers to overcome millions of Utrom throughout Dimension X and turned them into slave copies of himself under his control, and so the Kraang were born. There were also many Utroms who had resisted Prime's control over them, but now less than 100 still exist."

"What happened to your race is an unfortunate tragedy, but perhaps with your help we can avoid another one." Fugitoid told them.

Donatello nodded "We were able to get one of the pieces of the Black Hole Generator but we need to find the others, it's the only way for us to be able to save the Earth."

Now that got a reaction out of Queen "You were actually able to locate one of the pieces of the Heart of Darkness?"

"No, n-n-n-no-no!" Pawn, being the French Utrom with a moustache for whatever reason, started short circuiting and fell to the ground.

"No being should hold such power." Rook stated firmly "We took pains to hide the pieces of the Black Hole Generator in the safest parts of the galaxy."

"Safest?" Leonardo let out a scoff "The first piece that we found corrupted the entire race of Aeons!" that got a number of shocked reactions out of the Utrom High Council.

Fugitoid was quick to get things back on track "Utrom please, I have a plan to destroy the Black Hole Generator once and for all."

"Impossible!" Pawn protested "Zee Heart of Darkness cannot be destroyed!"

"Utrom come, we must discuss this." Bishop led the other three Utrom to the other side of the room to discuss the matter in semi privacy.

Leonardo looked over at Adam and the others "Hey Fugitoid what's with them, are they members of the council too?"

"As a matter of fact Leonardo, no they are not." Fugitoid told him "The female happens to be a dear friend of mine. Oh Aurora I'm terribly sorry for ignoring you, it's so great see you old friend." he held out his hand.

Aurora did the Utrom handshake with him "A pleasure to see you again as always Professor Honeycutt, despite your strange robotic body and very large head."

"Thank you. I think. I had previously believe that you had made a vow to never leave the Earth of your dimension regardless of the threat of the Triceratons."

"I had, but circumstances have changed and have forced me to come here. I have found the two warriors capable of ending the war with the Cosmic Elementals."

"You have? That is truly superb, where are they?"

"Right here." she pointed to where Adam and Alejandro were standing behind her "Professor Honeycutt and noble Turtle warriors, allow me to introduce-"

"Holy chalupa!" Michelangelo immediately rushed over to them "I recognize the two of you guys, you're Adam and Alejandro from Total Drama!"

Adam blinked "You watch the show?"

"Heck yeah, one of the best shows of all time next to Crognard!" he turned to Alejandro and kicked him in the gut "That's for what you did to Duncan and Courtney! And to everyone else in that season!"

"Hey calm down big guy." Adam helped Alejandro to his feet "Yeah I know he f*cked up a lot during Total Drama World Tour but he's making up for it one step at a time. Plus his older brother was someone very dear to me so I owe it to look after him, besides he and I have a mutual pact going. I have a terrible enemy I need to vanquish, so long as Alejandro helps me on my quest I'll help him in his quest to redeem himself."

"Tough dude huh?"

"He's the reason that I need this." he pointed with a thumb to where Shatterstorm was strapped onto his back "Yeah I know, awesome right?"

"For reals yo, that thing is so cool! In a heavy hitter kind of way."

"Yeah well it's got kickass wind and lightning powers though."

"Aw man I want a lightning axe, yo Donnie can you hook a turtle up?"

"No." was all Donnie said.

"Aw man."

"Oh yeah that reminds me." Adam turned over to Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello "I can't tell you guys how much of an honor it is to meet you."

"So you know about us?" asked Leonardo.

"Well in my dimension you guys are a cartoon series but yeah."

"...O.M.G!" Michelangelo nearly exploded "In our world you guys are a cartoon, and the best thing to ever come from Canada!"

"Aside from the spawn of Satan that is Chris McLean."

"Yeah, so he's in jail after season 4 ended right?"

"Yep and Total Drama is on a hiatus, so now a new show is taking the world by storm: the Ridonculous Race."

"Yeah boy no kidding, I'm calling for the Artists to win."

"Dude screw that, I spent the last month before the race started coaching Devin to make sure the Best Friends would win. Either them or the Bromigos, I'm just gonna go ahead and call it now that those two teams are in the finals together."

"Works for me. So what's the deal with Eelejandro back there?"

"That name isn't original, Noah came up with it." this was met with a groan "Anyway he's not as bad of a guy as he made himself look on the show during season 3, he just… made a lot of mistakes in a desperate attempt to save someone we both care about."

"Who was it?"

"His older brother Carlos, truth be told he actually passed away from a disease during the challenge back in Drumheller."

"Wait so that's why he left out of the blue?"

"Yep."

"Woah, just… woah."

"Wait is that show where the guy with the birthday cake blew up the plane in front of that tiki ceremony or whatever?" asked Raphael.

"Yep. Adam is that guy."

"I understood so little about that."

"Hello dude, I told you that you've gotta watch every episode before then for the sake of the continuity! This is basic stuff!"

"And not just every episode of the season." Adam told him "You've gotta watch every single episode starting from season 1, Total Drama Island all the way to Total Drama World Tour."

"Yeah boy!" they high fived without looking at each other, like bosses.

Alejandro just slapped his face "Ay dios mio."

"You've got one of those two huh?" Raphael guessed.

"You have no idea mi amigo, you have no idea."

This was when Queen and the rest of the Utrom High Council ended their discussion "The high council has reached a decision."

"Which is?" asked the Fugitoid.

"We are officially opening discussions on the topic of helping you with your goal to locate the other two pieces of the Heart of Darkness, the debate shall last for 100 nextons."

"...WHAT?!" Raphael almost immediately exploded "But we need your help now, not 100 whatever the hell a nexton is from now!"

Alejandro held out a hand "Great and noble Utrom High Council, please reconsider this course of action. These noble creatures have come from a future period in time, the Triceratons are able to find all of the pieces of the Heart of Darkness and destroy the Earth. They witnessed this tragedy occur with their very own eyes, and now you are the only ones who can help them save their world. I may not have room to speak but I know that you would not let innocent lives be sacrificed would you? On their behalf I beg of you, please help them in their quest."

"...Very well then, perhaps we can-" Queen was cut off by a large number of portals appearing throughout the room "Oh no."

"Alejandro get ready." Adam grabbed Shatterstorm off of his back "This is officially one of the most hype days of my entire life."

And then Kraang Subprime showed up with a number of Kraang droids "Well what do you, the long hidden base of the Utrom rebellion is revealed to us by none other than those miserable Turtles and the Master of the Mystic Arts herself! How awesome has Kraang Subprime's day become? FIRE!" he had the Kraang droids start firing like a pack of wild animals, turning the room into a war zone.

"Yeah come on boy, bring it dog!" with several savage yells, Michelangelo proceeded to decapitate several Kraang droids.

"Enough with the savage yells!" Raphael barked.

"Hey lay off of the yell until you try it!" Adam threw Shatterstorm forward and started cutting swaths through the Kraang droids as fast as they kept coming 'I can't use any of my new wind or lightning powers or it'll bring the whole place down, I'll have to go on the down low for the time being and wait it out."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well hey there Queeny!" Kraang Subprime had made his way over to queen and aimed a blaster at her face.

"I think not you foul creature!" Alejandro ripped Kraang Subprime's arm cannon and flipped him over the table "Mi hermano y mi abuelo both said that of one has power the it should be used to protect, not to destroy!"

"Oh great, another dead donkey moron. The last ones that I saw were those losers like 75 nextons ago, that old man and the little brat. The little one got away but I gutted the old man like a dirty Kraathatrogon!"

"How dare you steal my body!" Rook got his attention "She was my creation and you would dare use her for such nefarious purposes!" she leapt down to attack him.

Kraang Subprime grabbed her by the face before she could reach him "Aw boo freaking hoo, my heart bleeds for ya. NOT!" he threw her into Bishop as he attempted to attack and then proceeded to fry Queen's Miss Campbell suit, forcing her out of the suit "Hey there your Majesty."

"Let me go Subprime!" Queen demanded.

"Yeah let me think about that… nope!" he opened a portal "See ya later ya morons, I'll be taking a parting gift!" he shot a look over at Alejandro "I'll be back to skin you like I did the old man and add him to my collection!" and he retreated through the portal.

"You will not escape!" Alejandro chased after Kraang Subprime through the portal, with Raphael and Michelangelo following right behind him before the portal closed.

"NO!" Leonardo found too late that he couldn't follow them "Well that's just great, now what do we do?"

"The way I see it Leonardo, there's only one thing that we actually can do." Adam told him "We have to get the Utrom off of their lazy asses and launch an all out assault."

"Well maybe but what about Raph and Mikey?"

"Calm down, Alejandro is with them keep in mind. And before you say anything else let me say this, I wouldn't have brought him here if I didn't trust him."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kraang Subprime and his forces took Queen to a hidden Kraang base somewhere in Dimension X, his expression still as smug as ever "I think you're really gonna like your accommodations while you're here Queen, and by like I mean TOTALLY HATE!"

What he had failed to notice was Michelangelo, Raphael and Alejandro stumble out of the portal and for Michelangelo to hide them around a corner "Okay, I think they're gone."

"Mi agradecimientos." Alejandro told him "Come, we must make haste but do be sure to stay close."

"Yeah sure, whatever the heck you said." they made their way down the hall a short distance, only to find no sign of Kraang Subprime or anyone with him.

Raphael quickly grew frustrated with this "You've gotta be kidding me, how the hell did we lose them already?!"

"I would know such fury anywhere, Raphael is that you?" a figure pressed her face against the window of a Kraang cell, almost immediately sending Raphael into his hysterical love struck mode.

"Mona… Lisa?" almost immediately Raphael started stabbing the control panel in a desperate attempt to open the door.

Alejandro quickly covered his mouth "You must lower your voice or we will surely be discovered!"

"Save it!" Raphael finally managed to open the door "Mona Lisa what are you doing here? I didn't think I was ever gonna see you again."

"My dear Raphael, I have missed you as well." Mona Lisa picked him up in her arms and immediately kissed him, which he melted into.

"Hey come on guys, we don't have time for that kissy face crud!" Michelangelo was quick to break them up "We came here on a super important mission to rescue the Utrom Queen remember?"

"The Utrom Queen?" Sal Commander got up on his face about it "The Utrom and the Kraang are one in the same."

Mona Lisa nodded "We thought that they could be trusted and would be valuable allies against the Triceratons but we found out the hard way."

Alejandro quickly pushed all of them into the cell and shut the door right before a large number of Kraang droids passed by them "I can assure you commander the Utrom and the Kraang are not the same, after all the Kraang are enemies of the Turtles whereas the Utrom consider them to be allies."

Michelangelo nodded "Yeah you heard the Burromuerto dude, we only work with the good guys to deal with guys like the Kraang."

"Good Kraang?" Sal Commander snarled "You expect us to believe in such a thing? We tried to trust the Kraang and it landed us in their dungeon."

Mona Lisa nodded "Commander G'Throkka speaks the truth, after all of this how could we trust the Utrom?"

"Because we do." Raphael told her "I was really skeptical of these guys at first too Mona but these Utrom… they helped us.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the same time, Kraang Subprime was in the middle of mocking Queen in a very annoying fashion "You pathetic Utrom are nearly extinct while we Kraang are totally awesome, have I mentioned that your tiara is totally lame and not awesome? Because that's exactly what it is!"

Queen continued to remain defiant "My forces are on their way as we speak ready to rescue me and destroy your SubCommand Center."

"Oh you just got real serious didn't ya? Well whatever, like we're scared of a few Utrom and a bunch of other weaklings." he turned to the Kraang on lookout "You idiots stay here and keep on the lookout.

"Affirmative Kraang Subprime, that which is called the lookout Kraang will stay."

"...Yeah okay. Now then Queenie, you're gonna go right ahead and spill all of your dirty little Utrom secrets. You got that?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Utrom base was in semi ruins as Rook, Pawn and Bishop were discussing their course of action due to the recent events "I move to instate Parliamentary procedure 43-296."

"Alright enough of that crap." Adam finally reached his limit "No more debate and no more of that discussion crap, we need to take action and I'm doing it with or without your help." he pulled Shatterstorm off of his back "So are with me or not?"

"I will admit Son of Ander, your resolve is commendable." Bishop noted.

"Why does everyone call me that?"

"However there is no need for a discussion, Parliamentary Procedure 43-296 is the protocol for all out war. Utrom droids, prepare for battle!" he summoned several dozen droids piloted by free thinking Utrom.

"Huh. 8/10 for style."

Leonardo was particularly more pumped "Now we're talking, oh hell yeah! So where are the rest of them?"

"...Ahem." Bishop let out an awkward cough.

"So do you think now would be a good time for you to tell us where the other two pieces of the Black Hole Generator are located, just to be on the safe side."

"Fight by our side, survive this siege and we shall see."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alejandro looked over at Sal Commander and Mona Lisa "So tell me honorable Salamandrians, will you aid us in our quest to save the Utrom Queen?"

"As I said before, we will not aid the Kraang." Sal Commander told him.

"And as I have stated before the Utrom are not the same as the Kraang, regardless of whether or not you trust me at the very least I know that you trust the Turtles."

Raphael nodded "You heard the Burromuerto guy, Mona Lisa I would never do anything to hurt you and you know that."

"...Yes Raphael, I do know that." Mona Lisa turned over towards Sal Commander "I doubted them once Commander even when you had insisted otherwise, but now I truste Raphael and his comrades with my life."

Michelangelo looked over towards Sal Commander and received a sigh "Yeah boy, that be how we do- Oh for crying out loud what is it with you two? Alejandro you mind?"

"Not at all." Alejandro used one hand to cover Michelangelo's face to cover Raphael and Mona Lisa kissing in front of them "Ay dios mio, at least Adam is not so bold in his approach and that is saying something."

"You have my sympathy." Sal Commander turned to face "Tell me, Raphael said that you were known by the name of Burromuerto did he not?"

"He did, you know of my family?"

"...Only due to one that I had encountered several years ago. Santiago Burromuerto."

"You knew him? He was my grandfather, he had passed away nearly 10 years ago. He and I were very close."

"I see, so then the young man who was travelling with him, Carlos I believe his name was, was your brother. We had crossed paths in the aftermath a fierce battle I had fought against a criminal from my home world, a bounty hunter and escaped convict by the name of K'Vathrak. He had emerged victorious, he took my eye and left me to perish by the wounds he had inflicted upon me. Your grandfather, a gifted master of what he had referred to as the Mystic Arts, was on a journey with your brother teaching him what he knew. In an act of kindness rare in the area of the universe where my home planet resides, he saved my life, nursed me back to health and aided me in restoring my strength. However, that did not last for very long, for not long after we were attacked by a Kraang, or more specifically a defector from the Utrom to the Kraang. He is known as Kraang Subprime, and he had come to hunt down Santiago, for he had deemed him a threat to the Kraang. Bound by my code of honor to repay the debt I now owed him, I aided Santiago in his battle and in the end we claimed victory. Kraang Subprime had lost an eye in that battle but he refused to accept his defeat, and in an act of dishonor he attempted to attack Carlos from behind as an act of pure spite. However, Santiago… He pushed the boy out of the way to protect him from the attack but alas, he did not survive as a result. Before he perished I made a vow to him, I swore that I would repay his kindness to me and so with his dying breath he asked me to protect his grandchild, the one that would inherit his gift: the wisdom and power of the Crimson Jaguar. I can sense it within you young one, you have inherited his gift. You have the full support of the honorable warriors of Salamandria and I shall aid you however I can."

"...I see." Alejandro turned away and gripped the bull necklace he wore tightly 'Abuelo, I will vanquish that traitorous Kraang scoundrel and avenge you. This I swear.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kraang Subprime go up in Queen's face "Alright enough fun and games Queen, now you're gonna tell me everything you know about the Black Hole Generator!"

"Never, I will never tell you!" Queen remained defiant.

"Well good, now we get to go to my favorite part of the interrogation: the Torture!"

"Booyakasha!" that was when Savage Michelangelo kicked him and his cover chair away while Raphael and Alejandro managed do disarm the Kraang droids.

Sal Commander made a break to go after Queen "I can't believe I'm saving a Kraang, and somehow I just know that this isn't the last time I'm going to be saying that."

Alejandro cornered Kraang Subprime and stopped him from getting away "You have been outnumbered Kraang Subprime, and now you shall face the wrath of the Burruomuerto bloodline."

"Oh no look at me, you've got me so scared that I'm shaking in my hover pod!" his tone filled with sarcasm, Kraang Subprime unleashed a Dracotroid "Not really morons cause guess what, I've got me a Dracotroid!"

"Not for long!" Alejandro grabbed onto the neck of one of the heads of the Dracotroid while the others scattered, with Sal Commander and Mona Lisa attempting to blast it from opposite sides.

"Back off bra, I've got this!" Michelangelo let out a loud shriek, causing the Dracotroid to lose its grip on Raphael and Mona Lisa, but throwing Alejandro off of it in the process.

Kraang Subprime smirked maliciously "You know I've always wanted to watch a turtle get eaten by a Dracotroid, but even more I wanna crush one of those Dead Donkey guys underneath my tentacle!" that is until he was thrown aside along with the Dracotroid by a powerful energy blast, which prompted the others to look out the new whole in the wall.

As it turns out Adam had arrived, Shatterstorm in hand, with Leonardo, Donatello, the Utrom Droids and the Utrom High Council in full force "You guys need some help? I brought in the cavalry!"

"Yeah boy!" Michelangelo pumped a fist "Let this be a lesson Sal Commander: You can always trust a turtle, the cast of Total Drama, and the good Kraang to pull through for you when it really counts."

"Alright enough of this crap, Dracotroid do what you do best!" Kraang Subprime had the Dracotroid fire two simultaneous energy blasts from each head, blowing Alejandro and the others out of the wall of the building.

"Hang on Mona Lisa, I've got you!" Raphael used a grapple worm to catch Mona Lisa and lower them both to the ground, with Michelangelo lowering Sal Commander and the Utrom Queen safely to the ground amongst the other Utrom Droids just as more Kraang Droids and Biotroids emerged to join the fight.

"I can't believe I'm beating the crap out of Kraang droids! It's official, this is the greatest day of my life!" Adam charged forward, the blade of Shatterstorm crackling with lightning as he slammed the blade down onto the ground, taking out several dozen Kraang Droids and Biotroids in the process "And that be how we do it in my town!"

"Oh you said it man! Booyakasha!" Michelangelo took out three more Kraang Droids at once with a grapple worm "Hey you wanna say it?"

"Can I?"

"Go for it dude!"

"Well then… BOOYAKASHA!" with a mighty roar, Adam threw Shatterstorm high into the air and it rained down a massive blast of lightning that cut the number of Kraang Droids left in the battle in half, some of them literally.

Kraang Subprime looked down on the carnage from above "This has gotta be the most pathetic sight I've ever seen."

"And it shall also be your last!" Alejandro leapt up to attack him from the side "I have been told all about your fall from grace, it truly is pitiful Kraang Subprime. Or should I say, Knight of the Utrom High Council?" he dealt a few swift kicks to the Irma bot's face.

"That name means nothing to me, I am now Kraang Subprime of the Kraang Hive Mind you weak little punk!" Kraang Subprime knocked Alejandro off of the tower towards his apparent death.

However, Alejandro quickly rebounded, now with Bishop's bazooka in hand, and shot the Irma head off of his body "You betrayed the Utrom, you tried to kill my brother, you succeeded in killing my grandfather!"

"Bring it on runt!" the two of them charged towards each other.

Adam ducked behind a large Utrom energy cannon as Shatterstorm continued cutting down Kraang Droids left and right "Man this is the most epic day of my life!" he heard his phone ringing and pulled it out "What the f*ck, I get bars here?" he answered it "This is Adam but now is really not a good time- Oh hey Cody what's up? Yeah sorry I'm not back home right now, I had something to take care of so I left a few hours ago. So how did the tour go? Oh so you ran into Gwen and that guy from her art school? Yeah Kevin, I only met the guy once but I like his style and that's not something I can say about many people. So you and Gwen?" he nearly toppled over in disbelief at what he heard "No way are you kidding? Way to go man that's awesome, and the love thing but especially that! Yeah we'll talk when I get back, alright see you then." he hung up and looked up from behind the energy cannon "Hey Alejandro get this, Cody called me and said that he and Gwen finally went all the way! My little brother just got laid… before I did." he let out a yelp and ducked behind the cannon again to avoid fire from a few Kraang Droids before they were cut down by Shatterstorm "Yeah it's official, this is the best day of my life!"

Raphael found himself wrestling with the Dracotroid on one of its heads and found Mona Lisa wrestling the other one "Looks like you've learned a thing or two since the last time I saw you!"

"Yes, I've been honing my skills greatly since then." Mona Lisa climbed further up the neck of the Dracotroid to meet Raphael eye to eye "I could teach some of them to you one on one if you like."

"I would love that!" he got thrown back off of the Dracotroid's neck and used his sais to hold himself onto the wing "Don't worry, I'm good! I'm not dead yet!" and then he started getting shot at by flying Kraang Droids "Scratch that!"

Another battle continued in earnest.

Alejandro used Bishop's bazooka to push back an attack from Kraang Subprime's plasma saw blades "You were once seen as a great hero to the Utrom, they saw you as a true brother! Not only that but you dared to attack my family, and for that you will play!"

"Oh for the love of Kraang, cry me a river will ya?" Kraang Subprime used his plasma saw blades to slash Alejandro across his chest, leaving a deep gash releasing a large amount of blood and pushing him back towards the edge of the floating island "Look man you've got the same problem as all of the other morons in the universe, everyone hates having to swear complete subservience to Kraang Prime until they at least try it. It's the same with those blowhards from the Masters of the Mystic Arts… Oh wait, yeah I thought you looked familiar, you must be related to the Burromuerto blowhards like that old man and the handsome wise one. What was his name? Oh yeah, Carlos. Heard he croaked awhile back, news like that was so big that it hit all of the 10 dimensions and everyone was mourning him. Well everyone except for me, I held an awesome fiesta!"

"You dare… You dare insult the memory of mi hermano?!" Alejandro ripped a Kraang crystal out of the ground and stuck in one of Kraang Subprime's joints "For your crimes against my family, your punishment is death!" and as the crystal exploded he fell to one knee and clutched his wound.

Leonardo suddenly swung his way over "Hey are you alright Alejandro? Sorry I took so long to get here, I had to stop Raph and Mona Lisa from getting shot down by those flying Kraang Droids."

"I am well Leonardo, I appreciate your concern but it is not necessary. Kraang Subprime has finally been defeated and mi abuelo has been avenged."

"Yeah but you're hurt, we've gotta get that wound treated fast."

"I will survive, as I said you needn't worry about me." he was cut of by an increasingly annoying evil laugh "Ay dios mio."

Sure enough, Kraang Subprime rose back up on top of a Kraang Stealth Ship being backed up by several Kraang Droids "So what if I'm a traitor or a murderer or any of that crap? At least I'm not some pretty boy loser with a stupid angry face!"

"Yeah well at least he's not about to be hacked to bits!" a voice rang through the air.

Alejandro looked over and found Adam controlling Shatterstorm and having it fly towards him, and he quickly caught it in his hand "What do you…"

"Yeah Sal Commander told me everything, this is your fight and you've gotta be the one to finish it."

"Adam… I understand." he gripped the axe firmly in one hand "And now Kraang Subprime, this ends!" he charged forward.

Kraang Subprime only had enough time to let out a groan "Oh give me a Kraanging break would ya?"

"VIVA EL BURROMUERTO!" that is before Alejandro used Shatterstorm to cleave both Kraang Subprime's Irmabot and the Kraang Stealth Ship down the middle, resulting in an absolutely MASSIVE explosion that destroyed the Kraang Prison Tower.

"Kraang, initiate that which is known as RETREAT!" the Kraang soon realized that the battle was lost and attempted to retreat.

That is, before Adam used Shatterstorm to cut down the Kraang Stealth Ships, leaving them with no way to escape, leaving them to be captured "And that's how we do things in my town mother f*ckers!"

"Profanity aside, you did well." Aurora approached him with Alejandro's injured and now unconscious form slung over her shoulder "Both of you did."

"Tell me something Aurora, you knew about Alejandro's grandfather and Kraang Subprime didn't you?"

"I did, after all he was my main teacher in the Mystic Arts. I had grieved when he was slain and I felt that teaching his son Carlos was the best way that I could honor his memory and repay all that he had done for me, the same with helping Alejandro to receive the power of the Crimson Jaguar."

"I see. So how's the champ doing right now?"

"Physically his wound will leave a small scar, but psychologically his spirit has taken a great leap in its healing process. However he will not be able to complete it all on his own, you must aid him in that quest."

"I will, you have my word."

"Hey guys."

Adam looked over to see the Turtles approaching them "Oh hey guys, so what's your plan now that the battle is over?"

Raphael shrugged "Well Fugitoid is talking with the Utrom about the other two pieces of the Black Hole Generator, I plan to binge watch every single episode of Total Drama after seeing you guys in action today."

"Good thing too, season 3 is the best so far in my opinion. Oh and be sure to check out the Ridonculous Race, a couple of friends of mine are competing."

"We'll be sure to keep that in mind." Leonardo told him "But anyway we just wanted to say thanks for helping us today, we couldn't have done it without you."

"I think you could've but I was happy to help, hey before we go could I ask you guys for one quick favor?"

"Which is?"

"A quick selfie, this is like a sci fi nerd's dream come true!"

"...And people in your world think we're fictional?" he received a nod Well… Yeah sure, why not."

"Awesome." he held out his phone "Hey Aurora you mind?"

"Not at all." Aurora held up the phone just as Adam and the Turtles posed for the picture "Say Booyakasha." and she took the picture.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hours passed, to them at least, and the group had returned to Earth.

As he looked out at the city from a rooftop, Adam looked at his picture with the Turtles and tucked his phone away "Hey Aurora there's something that's been bothering me."

"What is it?" asked Aurora.

"I know Ninja Turtles so I know that Kraang Prime and Kraang Subprime get blown to bits when the Triceratons invade, so then what happens to the Kraang?"

"...With Kraang Prime destroyed in the Triceraton Invasion, his horrible psychic suppression over the millions of Kraang soldiers under his control had died with him, and thus the Kraang are no more, leaving the Utrom free of his reign. Now the Utroms are free to rebuild, how long it will take is unknown but in time the Utrom will thrive once more."

"Makes sense."

"But that being said, there is another matter I've been waiting to discuss." she opened a portal in her hands, revealing what looked like a sword, and she handed it to him "This is a Dragonfang, forged from the fangs of the fire dragon of Sphaera Ignis that you had personally slain it is far more capable than any other substance throughout the 10 dimensions and can cut through almost any metal on Earth. For the one responsible for the demise of the Fire Dragon each Dragonfang is connected to you on a molecular level, and as a result it embodies your beliefs, your ideals: trust, friendship, protection, courage. Remember these words and never lose sight of who you are." and with that, she disappeared through a portal.

'I won't. No matter what happens, I promise that I will never lose sight of myself. When the time comes I will destroy Mal once and for all, but I'll do it in my own way.'

A/N:

This chapter was a crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the 2012 series, I figured it would be a cool way to expand on the history of Alejandro's family and Carlos's wisdom and the like. Plus I thought Adam and Alejandro teaming up with the Turtles would be cool.

Michelangelo being a fan of Total Drama was a thought that I just came up with as I was writing this out, I figured it made it more relatable that way so that there would be less confusion.

The Dragonfang weapons were inspired by the Dragonfang from Thor: Ragnarok, the same with the stuff about the Mystic Arts, the Fire Dragon, Sphaera Ignis, Urere and the like.

I said that the Salamandrians had crossed paths with Carlos when he was a boy training under his and Alejandro's grandfather Santiago since I wanted to have an origin for where Carlos would get his wisdom and influence from. Something like a wise teacher, a guiding hand in life, a Mr Feeny to his Cory and company if you will. Plus I wanted to give Alejandro some more character development if Kraang Subprime was the one who killed his grandfather.

Also, a shout out to one of the guys who reviewed this story named Gazpacho: I really do have to thank you for what you said, it may not seem like much to you but that really did put my mind at ease. You made a bunch of points that I had never even considered. Oh, and as for this barely being a Total Drama story, I understand that very well but it still is important for what I have planned for the final story in this series.
