"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 Elemental Masters. 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."

These words circled through Adam's head for a good long while, but he finally shook those thoughts out of his mind as he arrived at the beach on the coast of Australia 'Now to just find the most beautiful girl on the beach surfing in a wetsuit and I'll have found Bridgette. Oh look, there she is now. Hey Bridge!"

Sure enough, Bridgette was surfing a massive wave when she noticed Adam away from the crowd and waved to him "Hey Adam, I'm so glad to see you-" she was suddenly thrown off her board when she hit a rock in the water, sending her flying through the air screaming all the way.

"Hold on, I've got you!" using his wind powers, Adam burst into the air and caught Bridgette in his arms bridal style, sending both of them crashing down to the ground.

Bridgette blushed slightly "Sorry."

"No worries." he spat out some sand "I've gone through way worse, this is nothing. Well unless you count the potential chafing."

"I guess." she looked up at him and noticed something off 'The look in his eyes… he seems angry, confused and kind of sad. Are you okay? You seem kind of upset."

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I've just… got some stuff on my mind, that's all."

"You're not okay Adam, whenever you say you've got stuff on your mind that means you're upset about something. Now come on, tell me what's going on."

"...You really can read me like a book can't you? See the main reason I'm here is because there's something that I have to tell you, something that I should've told you a long time ago. You remember how I told you about that guy Mal?"

"Mike's twin brother, the evil psychotic one who's been torturing Mike for years but after your last fight with him he's been in a coma for a few years. What about him?"

"That's… That's not the real story, I made that up to keep an even darker secret that Mike and I have shared."

"What do you mean?"

"Bridgette… It's time I told you the truth. The truth about my life, about my purpose, about what I've lost, about what I've gained because of those losses, about the history that Mike and I share… and the monster that links our lives together."

"What?"

"Bridgette… this is my story."

(At the same time, in Dimension 7)

At the same time, two certain Salamandrians, mainly Sal Commander and Mona Lisa, were making their way across the galaxy "It's been so long Y'Gythgba, far too long since we've been able to face real battle. I hunger for combat with the truest of warriors!"

Mona Lisa nodded "I feel the same Commander G'Throkka, but true warriors are rare in any system."

"Perhaps." then he received a transmission "General R'Kavaka, to what do I owe this great honor of you contacting me."

"Commander G'Throkka I bring you important information, the bounty hunter and escaped conflict known as K'Vathrak lives and has resurfaced."

"Him of all people? After 6 Vokk years that wretched traitor turns up now? How could this be possible?"

"How is no longer important commander, what matters is that he is captured and brought to justice and I have selected you to lead the hunt."

"I am honored General R'Kavaka."

This was when Mona Lisa showed up "Sir tell me, is this the same criminal who-"

"Took my eyes and left me to perish by my wounds, that is him yes. I can assure you General, I will find him no matter what the cost may be. Where is he now?"

"He has been hunting benevolent Utrom in Dimension X and travelling back and forth to a primitive mudball known to the locals as Earth."

"I see."

"Earth?" Mona Lisa began fantasizing about her lover boy- I mean Raphael.

"Then we shall set our next course for this planet. Tell me lieutenant Y'Gythgba, are you ready for this?"

"Oh yes Raphael- I mean yes sir, of course sir. Ready as always, never otherwise."

"...Good to know. Setting the coordinates, our destination: Earth."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam had moved Bridgette to a nearby bench as he finished explaining everything about his tragic past, his feud with Mal, his resolve to slay him, the 6 month deadline, him rediscovering his powers, and his newfound resolve "And that's everything."

Bridgette, horrified by the tragedies Adam had to endure, had a hand over her mouth with tears streaming down her face "You… You went through all of that? You held that pain inside of you all this time, and you were letting it eat away at you?"

"Yeah… Look I know you're probably mad at me for keeping this from you and I know that I still have some pretty serious trust issues, but after the hell that Mal put me through just for being friends with Mike when I was only 8 I don't think it's too unreasonable to say that I've earned them. Carlos once said that whenever I got close to people I would refuse to warm up to them and look for reasons not to trust them, and then isolate myself even further. That's something I don't want to risk doing with you. I'm sorry."

Bridgette said nothing, without any sort of warning she just grabbed Adam by the shirt and pulled him into a tight hug "I could see it, all this time I could see it in your eyes. You were crying endlessly, crying for help, begging for someone to put you out of your misery. I wanted to help you, to get you to open up to me about the problem so that I could help you and ease your pain, but I had never imagined that it would be so severe. I'm so sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. I kept this from a lot of people that I care about and now I can't tell them or they'll just get hurt. I kept this from Devin and Carrie, the two people who pulled me out of my six year depression, I kept this from Zoey, the girl that I might have been with if I hadn't had so much trust issues, hell I didn't even tell Cody the truth about Mal until he got back from doing the first two seasons of Total Drama because I was so scared of putting him in danger."

"Adam it's not your fault, if anything you being able to tell me, Gwen, DJ and Noah the truth about this takes a lot of courage. And I could never be mad at you for this Adam, if anything I'm honored that you trust me enough to tell me."

"I guess, but Bridgette that's not the only thing I came here to tell you. I've been thinking about this for awhile now." he freed himself from her embrace and gently took her hands in his as they locked eyes "Bridgette… I-"

"Adam."

"Son of a-" Adam looked up and saw Aurora and Alejandro appear through a portal "Let me guess, some kind of evil god hell bent on destroying all 12 dimensions? Oh wait no, the pure evil and psychotic Utrom Shredder from Turtles Forever. No wait even better, the Turtles version of the Walking Dead-"

Aurora shut him up when she held out a hand and put it over his mouth "The Utrom are being hunted through Earth of Dimension 7 and Dimension X by a criminal Salamandrian who has acquired powerful electricity based abilities. A troop of Salamandrian warriors are on their way to Earth to apprehend him, you must help the Turtles find him and bring him down before he does any lasting harm or takes any lives."

Adam looked at Alejandro, then at Bridgette, then back at Aurora "I have one condition, I want to bring Bridgette with me. I've already told her everything and I'm not going to keep lying to her."

"...Very well then. But you should know that I will not be taking the three of you there." she held out two blue glowing left handed gauntlets "These the Hurricane Gauntlets, crafted by the first Master of the Mystic Arts along with the Shatterstorm. It allows the user to travel between the 10 dimensions of the Multiverse at will, but that is just the beginning. When the user's strength of conviction is great enough they, along with the rest of your armor that you will receive as time goes on, are able to enhance the effects of the Shatterstorm and your overall powers hundreds of times over, and with enough training it will eventually allow you to tap into your true potential, granting you ultimate power unmatched throughout the 10 dimensions."

Adam put on the right handed gauntlet first, then the left handed gauntlet, then pulled the Shatterstorm off of his backs, and his body briefly crackled with electricity to the point where the ground beneath him shattered "Oh I could get used to this." he turned to Bridgette and his eyes softened "So then-"

"I'm going with you." Bridgette cut him off "This isn't a burden you should have to deal with alone, you have people who care about you and you should rely on them."

"I figured as much." he wrapped a gentle arm around her waist and grabbed Alejandro by the shoulder "So how do I teleport us?"

"Simple visualize the location in your mind, and the gauntlets will do the rest of the work for you. Good luck."

"Thanks, really." Adam tightened his grip, images appearing in his mind, and with a flash of lightning the three of them disappeared.

(Earth of Dimension 7, New York City, Turtle Lair, Dojo)

A typical day for the Turtles.

Leonardo was meditating, or at least trying to meditate, in the dojo, until he finally decided to call it quits "I just don't get it Master Splinter, I've been meditating for weeks on end and I still don't any closer to enlightenment or a higher plane or anything. I know we've always fought for peace and to protect the city, but I didn't think that peace could be so dull. I mean there's nothing left for us to do. The Foot are gone, Shredder is dead. I never thought I would miss the Kraang or the Triceratons. There isn't any evil left in this city, we've done our jobs. At this point I can't help but wonder, does this city even need us anymore? Does anyone need us?" he heard a beeping and looked at a device on his wrist "That dimensional communicator that Bishop gave me and the guys?" he pressed a button and found a hologram of Adam in front of him "What the heck? Uh hey Adam, how's it going? It's been awhile."

"For you maybe Leonardo, but with the time dilation between our dimensions it's only been a few weeks for me. But now isn't the time for small talk, I need your help. I'm bringing a few friends of mine and we're coming to your world."

"Wait you mean you're coming here, to New York on our Earth in our dimension? When, why, what's going on?"

"We'll be there in about 10 minutes or so, meet us near the TCRI building and I'll explain everything."

"Yeah just sit tight, I'll be there in a few." Leonardo grabbe his katanas and took off "Hey guys I'm going out, I'll be back in an hour!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(The streets of New York City, or an alleyway to be more specific)

At the same time, a group of Utrom sentries disguised as humans arrived on Earth in pursuit of a certain someone hunting Salamandrians "Utrom Klaatu, what are the current coordinates of Agent Bishop?"

"Come Utrom Niktu, it is this way." Klaatu told him "We must make haste, we have little time to warm him of the Salamandrian Rogue."

"Agreed." Niktu suddenly turned around only for his head to be cut off of his body and left in a heap "It is him! It is the rogue!"

Sure enough, a shadowy figure fired an energy blast from within the shadows and pulled Klaatu straight out of his Utrom exoskeleton "Where is he? Where is Bishop?"

Klaatu barely had time to scream.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Soon enough, Leonardo made his way to the top of a building not far from TCRI "Alright this was where they said to meet them, now where the heck are you?"

"Why don't you look up?" Adam suddenly floated down using his wind powers with Bridgette in his arms and Alejandro hanging onto his shoulder "It's good to see you Leonardo."

"Same with you." they bowed to each other in in respect "I'm sure you remember Alejandro, and this is my girlfriend Bridgette."

"A pleasure."

"Now that the formalities are out of the way we have to get down to business, Aurora asked us to come here because a criminal Salamandrian as been hunting and killing large numbers of Utrom on this Earth and in Dimension X. I think you know who I'm talking about."

Leonardo's eyes darkened "You mean the Newtralizer. He hasn't done anything or showed himself in three years and he just decides to pop up now? Rest assured Adam, me and my brothers will help you however we can."

"I'm glad to hear it, because a group of Salamandrians are on their way to Earth as we speak, and chances are the Utrom High Council will get involved too."

"Then we'll have to be careful not attract any attention before then."

"Right."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Things were quiet back in the lair.

Raphael was watching a certain episode of a certain show and was on the edge of his seat "God this show is amazing, how did I never discover it before?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Now a little segment called What's Raphael Watching?)

Duncan wasn't anywhere near as worried as he should've been "Nice try La Cucaracha, you think taking something out of context like that is gonna-" he never got to finish his sentence as a stinging pain came across his face that sent him crashing to the ground in a heap.

Yeah as it turns out, Courtney had slapped Duncan across the face as hard as she could and was now standing above him, heaving in anger and grinding her teeth to the point of breaking, tears of anger brimming in her eyes "How dare you? How could you?! I thought…" now both hurt and embarrassed, she fled back to the plane so nobody would see her crying.

Still trying to comprehend what just happened, Duncan just sat there speechless with a good number of the remaining contestants were glaring at him.

"Not cool bro, not cool at all." Tyler was the first one to make his way back to the plane in an attempt to comfort Courtney, with Trent and Bridgette right behind him.

Adam and Noah shared a look and backed off a short distance.

Cody gripped Gwen's hand reassuringly and led her back to the plane, glaring daggers in the direction of Alejandro all the way.

DJ was the only one who bothered to help Duncan to his feet "Sorry dude."

Alejandro looked between Duncan, Adam and Noah and gave an expression that appeared to be apologetic "Well mi amigos, it would appear that change is now on the horizon for all of us. Just know that I take no joy in these actions, but some things have to be done for the sake of the greater good." and he made his way back to the plane after the others, failing to notice a certain gentle giant growling at him.

(This has been What's Raphael Watching?)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Raphael was biting down on his pillow "Oh man the poor guy." and then he quickly got annoyed by Donatello and April throwing popcorn at each other "You mean you guys weren't even watching this masterpiece of a show that is Total Drama? Didn't you see that Duncan just lost the love of his life because of Alejandro? You know what screw it, you have no respect for good TV these days. You two are sickening Chompy and me, I'm out of here." and so he walked off.

Donnie finally noticed him "Hey Raph did you say something?" he was ignored.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Before long, Raph was banging on a drum set in his room, his mind racing 'Great, all of my brothers are totally whipped. Donnie's got April, Leo's got his weird incest thing with Karai, hell Mikey even has whatever that thing is that he has with Rennet.' he soon gave up "You know what screw it, it's not worth it Chompy. Who needs love? Not this guy. I'm a lone wolf, a rebel, a loner and I'm fine all by-" he heard his helmet ringing "The helmet Fugitoid gave me? That thing hasn't been active since we got back to Earth." he put on the helmet and found out just who was calling him "Holey space apples! Mona Lisa!"

"Hello Raphael, it really is great to see you. Commander G'Throkka and I need your help, we are currently en route to Earth."

"Wait, you're coming here to Earth? That's awesome, when?"

"We are going to be touching down soon Raphael, I will be sure to send you the coordinates when we do."

"You just sit tight Mona, help is on the way!" he prepared to bolt out of the room, only to hit the door and fall to the ground "Ow." he picked up his t phone "Leo guess what?! Mona Lisa-"

"-is coming to Earth, I know. I just got in touch with Adam and Alejandro, they came here in search of a rogue alien hunting Utrom. We're about to meet up with them."

"Don't worry, I'll get the others and be there as soon as I can."

"Right, and one more thing. Open the door next time."

"...I hate when you do that."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Queen and the rest of the Utrom High Council had noticed the situation "A group of warriors from Salamandria on their way to Earth, and they are not responding to any of our hailing frequencies."

"Sacre bleu, what could zey possibly want s'il vous plait?"

"It is hard to say at the moment." Rook noted "We already have one crazed Salmandrian on the loose on the hunt for innocent Utrom, we do not need any more. Tell me Bishop, what do you suggest that we do?"

Bishop pondered this for a moment "I will travel to Earth and organize an EPF team in order to intercept them, if they are hostile then I will deal with them myself."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It wasn't long before Raphael and the others had reunited with Adam and the others and reached the point where the Salamandrian ship had touched down "Mona Lisa you're here, you're really here!"

"Indeed Raphael, and how I have missed you so." Mona Lisa wrapped him in a hug "It has been far too long."

"Wow, just… wow." Bridgette muttered "I mean I'm not judging them or anything but seeing stuff like this in person is kind of unnerving."

Adam let out a snort "Oh trust me, if you think this is unnerving then you have no chance of lasting when the fight comes."

Sal Commander stepped forward "Lieutenant Y'Gythgba felt that we could use your help at the moment, and given the threat perhaps she speaks the truth. A criminal Salamandrian has been hunting and killing Utrom between this Earth and Dimension X."

"The Turtles have fought him once before, Donatello had previously dubbed him as the Newtralizer. He was thought to have been killed in an accident regarding a teleporter malfunction."

"An accident that he had survived, and he has already vanished from our scanners. I fear that the accident you have mentioned has fused his teleporter with his genetic structure and granted him the ability to jump between dimensions."

"Trust me Sal Commander, you don't have to worry." Raphael told him "We'll be sure to find him no matter where he is, that's a promise." he winked at Mona Lisa, causing her to blush slightly and Adam, Alejandro and the rest of the Turtles to groan.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Dimension X)

Thanks to the temporal differential between Earth and Dimension X, what had passed as only a year on Earth had been decades for the Utrom, and thanks to that they had at last begun to thrive prosper once more.

To this end, a group of Utrom were doing some practice katas on one of the floating islands when an explosion sounded behind them, and they knew exactly why "Oh crud."

Sure enough, a shadowy figure made himself known from within the smoke, his voice little more than a menacing snarl "Rokka rokka…"

"Oh no, it's him! Run away! Run away!" two of the Utrom nearby tried to run for their lives in fear, only for the heads of their droids to be crushed on the spot.

"Halt mercenary!" three more Utrom sentries showed up in an attempt to stop him "Raise your forelimbs and submit to Utrom Sentry! Capture and contain!"

The figure fired a few blasts at the Utrom, killing two of them on the spot and stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself to the sole surviving Utrom as none other that the Newtralizer himself "I hope you're ready Bishop, I'm coming for you! Rokka rokka rokka!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam and Leo were quick to come up with a plan "If we're gonna track down the Newtralizer before he kills any more Utrom than he already has then we're gonna have to split into no more than two teams, the more manpower each team has the better. The first team is going to consist of me, Leonardo, Donatello, April and Bridgette. Alejandro, Michelangelo, Raphael, Mona Lisa and Sal Commander will try searching his last known location."

"Then be sure to take this tracker." Sal Commander handed Adam and Leo each a tracker "This is the only way to anticipate what his next move will be."

"Thank you commander, and the best of luck to all of you." so with that being said, the two teams split up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It wasn't long before Mikey and the others had reached the Newtralizer's last location "So is there any sign of your boy yet?"

"He's not my boy, but the tracker says he's not far from here." Sal Commander turned his attention back to Raph and Mona Lisa "The two of you will stay here and keep watch in case he tries to teleport this way, the rest of us will advance and try to catch him before he manages to do so. Come Alejandro and Michelangelo, let us go." and so the three of them took off.

Now they they were alone, Raphael turned his attention to Mona Lisa "So Mona Lisa, what's been happening since the last time you and I just chilled?"

"Chilled? You mean the ice planet where we met?" Mona Lisa inquired "So many things have transpired since last we met Raphael, so many things. After you and the rest of your comrades returned to this world Lord Dregg launched his invasion of Salamandria, it was a huge battle and the biggest that our planet had ever seen."

"Wait a second, Lord Dregg? That insect survived us Turtles and the Triceratons after that whole thing with Tokka? Man it's hard to squash that big space cockroach!"

"It would appear so, we drove him away but Dregg had sworn to have his vengeance on-" she was cut off by a blast being fired in the distance, as well as several other follow ups "Oh no, we were supposed to be keeping watch! Commander! Alejandro!"

"Michelangelo!" the two of them rushed forward until they found Sal Commander and Mikey on the ground, with Alejandro having avoided the blasts "Commander, where is the Newtralizer? Is he still here, did he manage to escape?"

"Stay focused all of you, we're being surrounded." Alejandro dropped into a combat stance just as the group of them were surrounded by a team of EPF soldiers, followed by Sal Commander and Mona Lisa being caught in an Utrom net, electrocuting the,.

That was when Bishop revealed himself "Turtles, Alejandro, I must recommend that the three of you stand down."

"Bishop? I don't understand, what is going on? I thought the Utrom High Council considered us as your allies."

"Do not misunderstand Alejandro, you are our allies. However, Salamandrians are forbidden from entering the Milky Way galaxy."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Leo led Adam, Bridgette and the others to an abandoned power plant per the instructions of the tracker "Okay what the shell, now the tracker says that Newtralizer is gone again."

"He's using his teleportation ability." Adam ripped off his tracker and crushed it underneath his boot "My best guess would be that he's going back and forth to and from Dimension X while hunting Utrom and-"

"Guys quiet, he's here already." Bridgette pointed forward.

Sure enough, the Newtralizer appeared back on Earth again and burned a hole through the fence as his body crackled with orange electricity, and made his way over to a power generator "Rokka rokka rokka." he placed a stray wire in his mouth and started sucking on it as if he were recharging himself.

"Wow, that's just… wow."

"Looks like he's acquired some kind of electricity based powers." Donnie noted.

"You say that like being indestructible wasn't enough for him as it is." Adam drew Shatterstorm off of his back "The smartest move would probably be to attack while he's charging himself on that stuff."

"Agreed, so let's go!" so Leo and April moved to attack him from behind.

However, the Newtralizer teleported away to dodge the attack and hit Leo with a lightning bolt that he summoned "Turtles, it's been a long time rokka rokka! I owe you for this new power that you've given me, and so to thank you properly I'll make your deaths swift!" he summoned two more lightning bolts and fired them off, knocking Donnie and April to the ground, then blitzed in front of Bridgette "I don't know who you are girl and I really don't care, but if you get in my way then I'll crush you just like the rest of them rokka rokka!" he fired off another lightning bolt at her.

Adam blitzed in front of her and cut down the lightning bolt using Shatterstorm "Not a chance you damn lizard, you're dealing with me now. Bridgette listen to me very carefully, stick with the Turtles and get off to the sidelines. This is between me and the Newtralizer."

"Alright I understand, just be careful."

"Ah yes, I've heard of you. Adam, Son of Ander, responsible for slaying two of the 6 great Cosmic Elementals of the 10 dimensions and the reincarnation of the fusion of the two most powerful."

"And you've lost me. Look I don't know how the hell you know all of that and frankly I don't care, all I know is that I've come here to kill you for your crimes against the Utrom." he strapped his axe onto his back and gripped his new Hurricane Gauntlets "You're not worthy to fall by the blade of Shatterstorm, no you're going to me by test subject for my new gauntlets and help me see what these bad boys can do."

"We'll see about that!" the Newtralizer blitzed away.

'He's faster than I thought, but not fast enough!' Adam whipped around and blocked and blast of electricity from behind, as well as the Newtralizer's oncoming fist, resulting in the two of them trading even blows that blew shockwaves throughout the area before they broke away.

The Newtralizer wiped some blood away from his lip "I'll give you credit rokka rokka, you're better than I thought."

"You're holding out on me, you're toying with me aren't you?"

"Clever boy, now try this!" his body pulsed and began crackling with orange electricity, and he teleported forward and fired a barrage from his wrist blaster infused with his own electricity powers.

Adam deflected every blast with one hand and landed a palm strike on the Newtralizer's chest, sending him stumbling back.

The Newtralizer stumbled back into a fence and let out an electrical shockwave that blew apart the fence, and he dodged a number of blasts of electricity that engulfed the area in smoke, which he used to his advantage as he teleported through the smoke to try and unleash a surprise attack from behind.

Adam blocked the attack without even looking back and dealt the Newtralizer a wind and lightning enhanced fist to the face, blowing him away and sending him tumbling backwards while Adam himself powered down "Just face it Newtralizer, you have no chance of beating me."

"Maybe… Maybe not now…" the Newtralizer slowly got up and spat out some bloody as his body crackled with electricity "I'll be… back for you… and the rest of… these weaklings… and you… Rokka rokka… you will be the first to suffer!" and he teleported away.

"He'll be back, and we'll have to be ready."

Brigette quickly made her way over to Adam while helping April support Leo and Donnie "Are you okay Adam?"

"Don't sweat it, this isn't even as bad as what I got in that fight with M'Baku." he just wiped some blood away from his lip "Come on, let's get the Turtles and April and go meet up with Alejandro and the others so we can plan out our next move."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Having been informed of the situation, Bishop quickly had the EPF soldiers release the hold they held on Mona Lisa and Sal Commander "My apologies, I did not realize that these were the same Salamandrians who had aided us against the Kraang before."

"Oh yeah, super common mistake." Raphael's tone was practically oozing with sarcasm "Hey how about this, next time look before you capture an alien life form Bishop."

"Raphael please, you must calm yourself." Alejandro called him off "We're all on the same side at least for the moment, we all share a common goal in bringing down the Newtralizer before he can do any more damage. The only question is, how do we go about it?"

"That's actually quite an easy fix." Sal Commander told him "If he desires to destroy all Utrom in existence then let's use one to bait him here so we can capture him."

Bishop found everyone looking at him "You intend to use me as bait to lure him here do you not?"

"Yes, yes we do."

"...Get into position." he ushered everyone to take hiding positions while put himself out in the open "Be sure to take positions out of sight, I am adjusting my com to an open frequency that he will be able to track easily." he adjusted his com to said open frequency "Do you hear that K'Vathrak? Come and get me coward!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As everyone got into position, Raphael turned to Mona Lisa "Listen Mona Lisa I've been thinking, when this whole thing with the Newtralizer is over I… I want you to stay on Earth with us. With me."

Mona Lisa was taken aback by this "But that is impossible. I am a Salamandrian warrior, all of my life is dedicated to battle and the honor of my people and my planet."

"But there's so much for you here, there's fighting and pizza and all sorts of other awesome stuff like-" he was cut off by electrical buzzing as power started to go out around the area "Oh boy,, that's not good."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bishop didn't even need to turn around to know what was going on "So you've finally decided to show yourself… K'Vathrak."

Sure enough, the Newtralizer had appeared behind him "Bishop! I'm going to destroy you, and once I do your precious Utrom Council is going to be the next to perish!" he summoned and fired a lightning bolt.

Bishop dodged the attack with ease and hit the Newtralizer with a barrage of ray gun blasts from above.

The Newtralizer teleported and attempted to attack Bishop from above and finished his assault with one of his exploding disks, engulfing Bishop in an explosion.

"Your reign of terror ends here!" Alejandro jump down and buried his fist into the Newtralizer's gut.

The Newtralizer coughed up some blood but managed to recover just in time to teleport above and avoid a combined assault from Sal Commander, Raph, Mikey and Mona Lisa and fended them off with ease "Rokka rokka!" then he got slammed by an EPF truck and attacked by several soldiers from afar, but he summoned a shoulder fired missile launcher at the soldiers, killing them and knocking the Turtles and the Salamandrian to the ground "Well if it isn't G'Throkka my old friend, I think it's about time I took your other eye and gave you a matching set don't you agree?" he summoned another lightning bolt.

"You dirty little-" Sal Commander could only cry out in pain as the lightning bolt struck him, frying him.

"It's over fool!"

"You are the only fool here!" that was when Bishop dealt him a kick to the head, half of his fake skin having been ripped away by the previous explosion.

"I'm gonna eat your brain Bishop, and I'm gonna chew it nice and slow!"

"Do you even know why you want the Utrom destroyed as badly as you do? It's because the Kraang brainwashed you!" Bishop started firing at him again.

The Newtralizer just ripped Bishop out of his Utrom droid body and tossed it away "Now you're going in my stomach, and I'm gonna chew you up nice and slow." he aimed to lower Bishop into his mouth.

That was when Shatterstorm swung onto the scene and knocked the Newtralizer away before returning to Adam as he arrived on the scene with Leo, Donnie, April and Bridgette "Did you really think I was gonna let you get away like that? You're not getting away from any of us that easily."

"This is even more perfect, now I have all of my enemies gathered in one place and now I can finish you all off at the same time." the Newtralizer began charging up a massive blast of electricity as he absorbed the energy from all of the technology around them.

"...Oh boy, that's not good."

"Why is that?" asked Bridgette "I mean you could stop him with ease, after all you did defeat him earlier without too much trouble."

"Yeah but you and the others wouldn't survive the kind of blast he's gonna dish out, as long as you're here I'm playing it safe and that's all there is to it."

"Adam I can take care of myself."

"I know that but do you have years of ninja training like April or the Turtles?"

"No."

"Can you stop a bus with your bare hands like Alejandro?"

"No."

"Do you have the power to kill gods like I do?" he received a look that told him to shut up "Look I'm not trying to brag or anything but I'm not gonna let you put yourself in any unnecessary danger while we're here okay?"

"...Fine."

"Good, now grab onto the others. I've got a plan." he gripped her hand as she linked all of them together "Okay, we'll teleport away on 3. 1…"

"I'm gonna watch your bodies fry!" the Newtralizer snarled, his ball of electricity growing larger with each passing second.

"2…"

"And now… YOU ALL DIE!" he fired it off.

"3!" they all disappeared right before the blast hit, causing it to soar through the air until it slammed into a nearby building and destroyed it entirely, as well as 2 or 3 surrounding buildings in the ensuing explosion.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam and the rest of the group managed to blitz into the headquarters of the Utrom High Council, much to their surprise "Hey guys, how's it going? Oh yeah, they could use a couple of breathers before they suffocate to death so if you wouldn't mind?"

"Oh yes of course." Rook and Pawn fitted all of them except for Adam and Alejandro with breather units.

"Alejandro and I are fine, we've still got those charms that Aurora gave us the last time we were here."

"Yeah well lucky you." Leo breathed out a deep sigh "Still though thanks Adam, we really owe you one."

Bishop quickly stuck himself inside a backup droid body and slapped on his typical pair of shades "Queen I bring you dire news, I'm afraid the rogue Salamandrian may be too powerful for all of us which includes the EPF."

Queen frowned in thought "The existence of all 10 dimensions is at grave risk and yet we know next to nothing about our the enemy that we face."

"Actually that's not entirely true." Donnie pulled out his t phone "I was able to measure his voltage, his amperage and even his intrinsic field."

"With this data Donatello, you could be of a tremendous help to me." Rook displayed what looked like a high tech cannon "I have created an electrical dampening cannon that could end him for good, but I will need to program it with the date that you have collected."

"You said an electrical dampener? Let me check that out."

"So we have a weapon but we still need some kind of plan." Bridgette pointed out "I mean Adam did beat him before without too much trouble."

"But he was throwing electricity around at random and it probably drained whatever he had absorbed from the power plant generator." Adam told him "He drained his reserves because he wasn't expecting me to be there, now he is so that cost us the element of surprise. We have to get that cannon ready fast, if he attacks first then it's all over."

"But you can still beat him though, I know you weren't going all out."

"I know but I haven't had my powers for very long, I still can't control them very well and I don't want you guys to get hurt because of it. I told you before Bridgette, I'm playing safe with this one."

"Everyone must be sure to be wary." Queen warned "K'Vathrak is a formidable adversary and has slain many Utrom since he resurfaced only last-"

"ROKKA ROKKA!" the Newtralizer suddenly appeared behind Queen and crushed the head of her Utrom droid body before preparing to fire a lightning bolt to finish her.

"No Queen, look out!" Rook quickly jumped into the line of fire and took the full front of the blast, destroying her droid body.

"Sacre bleu!" Pawn was suddenly grabbed by the head of his droid body.

The Newtralizer ripped Pawn out of the droid with his mouth and prepared to devour him in one gulp "Tht't tw dwn (That's two down)!"

"Let him go!" Alejandro deal the Newtralizer a sharp kick to the head, sending him stumbling backwards and knocking Pawn out of his mouth.

"Alejandro quick get him through the portal!" Bishop threw down a portable portal that lead back to Earth.

"Understood!" Alejandro charged forward and thrusted the Newtralizer straight through the portal, with the Adam, Bridgette, April and the Turtles right behind them once Donnie had grabbed the electrical dampening cannon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Donnie looked around at the carnage unfolding "Oh man…"

As it turns out the Newtralizer was tossing everyone around while multitasking in the form of clashing against Adam and Shatterstorm "Rokka rokka, you'll all pay for wronging me in the ways that you did!"

Adam took the full force a lightning bolt before it could do any real damage and was blown back into a wall in the process "I'll keep him grounded for as long as I can, you guys will have to shoot him as soon as you can!"

"We're already on it!" Bridgette used one of Leo's katanas to cut open a nearby fire hydrant, with April using her telekinesis to manipulate the water and soak the Newtralizer, shorting him out in the process "Adam are you okay?" she made her way over towards him.

Adam popped his arm back into its socket "Don't get to comfortable, if there's one thing that I've learned in my life it's that it's never over when you think you get him on the first try. See for yourself."

Sure enough, with a furious snarl the Newtralizer teleported atop the biggest generator in the power plant "You don't have a chance of stopping electricity fools!" he proceeded to absorb all of the electricity from the power plant, increasing his power to even greater heights as he started firing random bolts of lightning everywhere.

"Adam look out!" Bridgette suddenly shoved Adam out of the way just before she was hit by a blast of electricity, causing her to evaporate where she stood.

"BRIDGETTE!" now in a blinding rage over Bridgette's apparent death, Adam slammed his Hurricane Gauntlets together and levelled his furious gaze on the Newtralizer "You're going to die for that." and he suddenly disappeared with a spark of lightning.

Now even further powered up, the Newtralizer let out a maniacal cackle "Now do all of you fools see, do you see what I'm capable of?"

"You wanna see angry? Well TURN AROUND!" Adam suddenly burst upwards behind him, the Shatterstorm practically burning with electricity "BOOYAKASHA!" with blinding speeds he forcefully brought down Shatterstorm on the Newtralizer, leaving a deep gash across his chest as he forced him to the ground, blood pouring from the wound.

The Newtralizer started coughing up a large amount of blood "So… how does it feel… The taste… of vengeance?"

"Don't try and appeal to the rage burning inside of my heart right now." Adam slammed his foot down on Shatterstorm, driving it deeper into the wound "Like I said, you're going to die for what you just did." he drove in even further, causing the Newtralizer to cry out in pain "Look at you, lying on the ground in a pathetic heap like the worthless piece of shit that you are. But you don't get to go yet, no your death isn't going to be swift. You don't deserve such mercy. When I'm satisfied with your screams of agony and the ground beneath us is stained with your blood, then and only then will you have my permission to die."

That was when Donnie and the rest of them noticed the power suddenly going out all over the city "It looks like some kind of electromagnetic interference, but where is it coming from though?"

Sal Commander knew, and he was horrified "Oh no, no! This can't be! He is coming, he must have followed us here!"

"What do you mean, who did?" this was followed by a massive bug ship appearing and landing in the middle of the city.

"It is him. Lord Dregg."

"People of this pitiful world, hear me!" Lord Dregg's voice rang through the air "At long last I shall reap my vengeance on both of the Salamandrians as well as the Turtles, and this whole pathetic world!" and then the ship started spewing out bug soldiers all over the place that began taking the city by storm.

The Newtralizer gave a smirk full of malice and confidence "Well if it isn't Lord Dregg, my old ally. Rokka rokka rokka!" he let out a malicious cackle.

Leonardo voiced the mortified thoughts of almost everyone present "Lord Dregg is… here? Are you kidding me?!" this was followed by the ship squirting ooze all over the place, which ended up spawning more bug soldiers that sent the ordinary people running away screaming "And you're not kidding me."

"Rokka rokka rokka!" the Newtralizer let out another cackle and teleported away before any of them had a chance to attack him.

"Well that's just perfect." Raph grumbled "First Bridgette gets vaporized and now Dregg is invading."

"Raph…" Mikey tried to call him off "Probably not the best time dude…" he pointed to their right.

"...Oh. Oh crap."

As it turns out, Adam's body was crackling with electricity as if it were growing with his rage over the loss if Bridgette as he whipped Shatterstorm off of his back "I'll kill him, I'll rip out his heart and stomp on it." he rose the blade of the axe up into the air, lightning practically screaming across the sky "NEWTRALIZER! COME OUT OF THERE AND FACE YOUR DEATH LIKE A MAN! GET OUT HERE AND LET ME CARVE OUT YOUR HEART YOU WRETCH!" he prepared to teleport away in a blinding rage.

However, Alejandro grabbed him by the arm stopped him before he could "Adam stop, you must control yourself!"

"LET ME GO! I'LL KILL HIM! I'LL F*CKING KILL HIM!"

"You can't go up there now, against the combined might of K'Vathrak, Lord Dregg and his entire army not even you would stand a chance on your own!"

"I DON'T CARE! NONE OF THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO ME! ALL I WANT IS TO SEE HIM SUFFER AS I RIP OUT HIS-" he never got to finish his sentence as a sharp pain struck him across the face, sending him stumbling back a few feet.

As it turns out, Alejandro had slapped him across the face as hard as he could, his hand now stinging and red as a result "You have to control yourself, if there is ever a time for you to lose yourself to your anger this is not it in the slightest! Right now the 10 of us are the only chance this world has for survival." this was followed by Leonardo being captured by one of the bug soldiers and taken away "Make that the 9 of us. You must understand, you must not lose control of your emotions or disaster is sure to follow. Bridgette's loss will be avenged I give you my word, but if there is one lesson from your training with Carlos that you must be sure to never forget it's that you cannot let your vengeance consume you or you will end up becoming just like the Newtralizer! Do you understand me?"

"...Fine." so with some reluctance, Adam strapped Shatterstorm back onto his back and the electricity surrounding his body disappeared "But when we find the Newtralizer he's mine, don't try to stop me."

"Very well, just promise me give into your anger." he received no response before more bug soldiers attacked.

"Oh good, something for me to vent my grief on." he drew his axe off of his back and prepared to fight them off.

However, Bishop had other plans "No, for now we must hurry and retreat! Everyone hurry and fall back."

"...I'm starting to hate you almost as bad as the 2003 version."

"Everyone fall back!" Sal Commander started firing blasts at the bug soldiers "I'll cover all of you for as long as I can, now fall back!" and then he got grabbed by a large number of bug soldiers.

"Commander!" Mona Lisa cried out.

"Fall back!" and then he got taken away to the ship.

"No!"

"Mona Lisa you can't save him, at least not right now." Raph told her "There's too many of them, we have to go and we have to go now!" and so 7 of the 8 that were left retreated as fast as they could.

Adam stayed behind for a moment, glaring daggers up at Dregg's ship as his fists gripped tightly to the point of bleeding "I'm coming for you, and you'll play with your life when I do." and he took off after the others.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dregg observed the chaos from within his ship with a smile on his face "Just look at all of the chaos, it's truly beautiful."

That was when the Newtralizer blitzed into the room and fell to his knees, blood still pouring from the wounds that he had received from Adam and his body crackling with orange electricity just like always "Lord Vrinigath Dregg, it's been a long time rokka rokka."

"And how excellent it is to see you here on this primitive ball of mud my old assassin, and with new powers that make our foes tremble. I could use your talents once more, my plan is to wipe out this pitiful planet and all of my enemies with it as I do."

"Works for me, if it destroys every Utrom still hiding on this pathetic planet then I say we go for it."

"You are brutal and needlessly sadistic as always K'Vathrak, I always did like that quality about you."

"I do have one request though. One of the companions of the Turtles, the one who wounded me as badly as this, is the newest reincarnation of the Cosmic Elemental Fusion. I know it for a fact, he has the wind and electricity powers to prove it. When the time comes to finish them, his head belongs to me."

"As long as the Turtles belong to me." and both of them started laughing maniacally.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bishop and the rest of the group barricaded themselves inside a bank that had been abandoned during all of the chaos "The complete incompetence of the Salamandrians was what led Dregg to Earth in the first place, his Maligna ship can spawn a countless amount of Vreen Robugs to overrun this planet all because of your collective stupidity."

"HEY!" a thoroughly pissed off (even by his standards) Raphael got right up in Bishop's face "I never really did like you to begin with Bishop, so if you talk to my woman like that again then I will shove my sais up your-"

"Thank you Raphael but I can take care of myself." Mona Lisa gently pushed Raph back and shot a dirty look at Bishop "If you dare talk to me or my man like that again then I am going to rip your Utrom brain out of that body, chew it up and spit it out!" this prompted Bishop to just push up his glasses.

"If I may interject into this conversation gentlemen and the lady." Alejandro cut in while trying to sound polite, though he was quickly getting annoyed "I believe we have more important issues than discussing who is to blame, such as the massive army of at least 10,00 bugs trying to hunt all of us down."

Donnie nodded as he did the calculations "Yeah, and if that ship keeps spouting insect eggs at the rate that it is then we have less than a week before there will be enough insects to cover the entire plane!"

"That and the fact that Lord Dregg's insect soldiers are capturing any random innocent people that they come across."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lord Dregg looked back and saw Leonardo and Sal Commander being brought in by his bug soldiers "Ah yes my esteemed guests, I'm so glad you could join us."

"Newtralizer! Your tail is going to be mine!" Leonardo snarled.

"We'll do this together Leonardo!" Sal Commander took out the two insect soldiers and the two of them charged.

The Newtralizer blitzed in front of them and hit them both with point blank blasts of electricity, frying them both on the spot and sending them skidding back to the point where they were captured by the purple prison pods "Rokka rokka, two down and 8 to go!"

Lord Dregg gave a malicious smirk "Now then K'Vathrak, I want you to go down there and find me the Salamandrian female, the other Turtles and that Cosmic Elemental Fusion boy, and be quick about it!"

"There are only 7 of them left, I fried that girl with the Hurricane boy into pulp before you got here." and then he teleported away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The group was still hiding out in the bank.

Believe it or not, Raphael was the only one to come with any kind of plan "Okay guys listen, if we're gonna take down Dregg and the Newtralizer then we're gonna need a plan."

"And what do you propose amigo?" asked Alejandro.

"I'm glad you asked Al." this caused him to cringe "Sorry. Anyway here's the plan: First we'll have to commandeer a giant Navy battleship, then we'll have to strap a rocket to the deck of said ship which will turn it into the biggest missile the world has ever seen. After that we can fly it into the air and crash it into Lord Dregg's ship, the Newtralizer will probably escape with his teleportation ability so then Adam can go ahead and finish him off with everything he's got while me and the rest of us stomp whatever Vreen are left standing like cockroaches! So, what do you guys think?"

"...I like it." Mona Lisa commented after a moment "However it does feel as if it's a little bit too much."

Mikey let out a loud snort "You think? Mona that's like a me level bad idea, and that's saying A LOT." he looked at Adam standing off alone in the corner.

"Poor guy." April muttered.

"You mean poor Bridgette, she's the one who got fried and now he might turn into the new less cheese grater like version of the Shredder. Even in the first episode of Total Drama World Tour I knew that he carried some major emotional scars, for all we know Bridgette was one of the few people in the world that he really trusted not to leave him and now she's gone! Of course he'd want the Newtralizer down there with the Shredder, I mean how could he not?"

"Oh. Wow. I hadn't thought of that."

"But like Alejandro said and like Master Splinter always said, vengeance is a poison that consumes all who seek it. It can corrupt even the purest of hearts, but it's really about how strong those hearts are and whether or not they have the strength to let go of that vengeance."

"Enough talk, we must stay on task." Bishop got everyone's attention "I have a plan of my own, one that does not require battleships and rockets."

"Well we might as well hear it anyway, let's hear it." Raphael told him.

"Very well, however my plan is going to require more than just the six of us-" he was suddenly grabbed from behind when Dregg's bug soldiers started to burst into the building through the blockage that they had set up, but he quickly freed himself "There are too many of them, for now we must retreat. This way, follow me!" and so the rest of them followed him out through the back following an explosion that Mona Lisa.

That was when Aleandro and the others saw it "Lo que en el nombre de…" as it turns out the Channel 6 building had been turned into some sort of giant nest like structure, and the people that had been captured by the bug soldiers were being cocooned along there as well.

"Hide." was all Adam needed to say before the 7 others followed his lead "If we're gonna stop this then we need a plan."

"Here is one, follow me. This way." Bishop led the group through a nearby alley in an attempt to escape.

That is, before the Newtralizer blitzed in front of them "You pathetic fools, rokka rokka! You don't have a chance of winning!"

"We will see about that." Bishop grabbed the Electrical Dampening Cannon and fired it, hitting the Newtralizer dead on but not even effecting him in the slightest.

"Your toy isn't going to work on me Bishop, that boy is far more powerful than that piece of trash and I'm adapting to that so you have no chance!" he blitzed forward and dealt Bishop an electric slug to the gut, sending him crashing into a wall and ripping off half of the fake skin on his face "That's just the beginning Utrom scum, once you and this world are done for I'll finish the job on that wretched council!"

Adam held out a hand to stop the Turtles and the others from advancing "No, you guys won't be fighting him. I have something to say to him first."

"Oh is that right boy? So how dies it feel, the burning desire for vengeance, the realization that with your power you could mold the 10 dimensions into your own image? Trust and friendship, those things are worthless! Power and vengeance are the only things you can rely on, and the more power you have the better off you are! Power means nothing if you don't use it to its fullest extent, so use yours and reshape your world, destroy whoever stands in your way!"

"...You know you do make a few good points there K'Vathrak, with the power I wield it probably wouldn't be too much of a chore to take out anyone I want to." he slowly pulled Shatterstorm off of his back "I've never thought of myself as a hero of a saviour of any of that, and if I had been on my own and made one bad move then I might have ended up exactly as you are now. But I'm not, and I won't. My mentor's name was Carlos Burromuerto, the older brother of Alejandro back there, a kind and gentle soul filled with purity and wisdom, and he was the one who saved me from myself when I was at my lowest point. He once told me that vengeance consumes all who seek it, it can corrupt even the purest of hearts and now I truly understand what he was trying to tell me. Vengeance can consume anyone, and you and I are no different. When I look at you I see what was once a truly great warrior, but now has allowed his vengeance to turn him into nothing more than a murderous beast. If I were to choose to kill you now in order to avenge what you had done to Bridgette then I would be going against everything that Carlos had ever taught me and entrusted to me." he threw Shatterstorm over to Alejandro "Vengeance may have consumed you K'Vathrak, but I cannot and will not allow it to consume me as well. So I fight you now not for the sake of vengeance, but for the sake of protecting those I love and those who believe in me." this was met with looks of relief and approval from Alejandro and the others behind him.

"Well that's a pity, I could've used you to wipe out all of the Utrom and save me the trouble. If that's the case then I'll just have to kill you myself!" the Newtralizer blitzed forward and fired off a normal sized lightning bolt.

Adam deflected the blast with ease as he blitzed forward and slugged the Newtralizer in the gut, sending him crashing into a wall "Hey Michelangelo, may I have the honor?"

"You know it bro, kick his tail in!" Mikey cheered.

"Thank you. BOOYAKASHA!" with a mighty roar and his Hurricane Gauntlets vibrating and crackling with electricity, Adam unleashed a powerful blast of lightning, sending the Newtralizer crashing through two or three buildings "And that's why I don't let my vengeance consume me, because if I do then I would lose control and hurt the people I care about most." he looked back at Alejandro, the Turtles and the others as he lowered his head "I just wish I could've been able to save Bridgette, and I wish I could've told her… I-"

"Look!" Mikey suddenly pointed to where electricity was randomly crackling in this air "What the shell is going on?"

Adam looked over and his eyes nearly bulged out of his head "What the hell…?"

A bright light covered the area and when it vanished it revealed none other than Bridgette good as new, a bright smile across her lips and her eyes blazing with so much confidence it was nearly out of character "Hey guys, how's it going?"

"Bridgette…"

"Hold that thought, he's coming back." she looked over and her eyes hardened as the Newtralizer materialized, still badly damaged after taking so many of Adam's attacks "Hey Newtralizer, I call this one my Water Bullets!" she fired off a barrage of water bullets from her fingers and gracefully subdued the three bug soldiers approaching the scene when she blitzed across them and tapped pressure points, paralyzing them but not killing them, and then she noticed something "Mikey look out, they're right behind you!"

But it was too late, Mikey got captured by the bug soldiers "Let me go dudes, I got pizza I can trade you for!" and then he was taken away.

Donnie found himself grabbed by the Newtralizer out of nowhere as well "Hey what the- Let go of me!"

"Donnie no!" April cried out.

"I'll get him!" Bridgette used her powers to blitz forward and catch them, only for them to teleport away before she could and she hit the ground "Or not."

"Donnie! No!" April fell to her knees.

Adam gently helped Bridgette to her feet and pulled her into a tight embrace "Bridgette… I don't understand, how…?"

"When the Newtralizer zapped me earlier with his little electrical fit at the power plant he didn't vaporize me, he just scattered my molecules throughout the area and they ended up absorbing some of the energy left behind so when my body reconstituted itself I had gained some kind of water and ice powers as a side effect."

"...I only understood about half of that but I'm just thanking the big guy up there that I didn't lose you."

"Yeah." she leaned into his embrace "I heard what you said to the Newtralizer too, about how you refused to fight for vengeance. I'm proud of you." she pecked him on the lips.

"I must warn you to be careful Bridgette." Bishop warned "Eventually your powers could burn out and if they do then they will destroy you as well."

"...Then we'd better stop Lord Dregg and the Newtralizer before that happens, we'll worry about my powers then."

Adam nodded "She's right guys, we'll need her powers in order to win this. Let's head back to the Turtles' Lair and come up with a new plan."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So the group, or rather what was left of the group, retreated back to the Turtles' Lair in order to come up with an effective plan of attack.

Adam started to lay out the plans in Donnie's lab "Lord Dregg's Maligna ship is here in the center, Bishop will organize a group from the Earth Protection Force from the left side. While that's going on, Raphael, Mona Lisa, Bishop and April will hit the other side of the ship inside the Turtle Mech. During that time I'll aid the Earth Protection Force in fighting off Dregg's ship and freeing the people that he's captured so far, which leaves Alejandro and Bridgette to use her powers to get inside the ship from the back, free all of the others and take down Lord Dregg and the Newtralizer once and for all."

"This isn't going to be easy." Mona Lisa pointed out, only to be met with a scoff from pretty much everyone else present.

"You say that like anything we do is easy, but as my mentor and Alejandro's older brother had once said nothing worth having or accomplishing can be done without effort." he looked over to where Bridgette was sitting outside the lab lost in thought "You guys get ready and start preparing for the big brawl, I've got something else to take care of." and he made his way out of the lab.

With this in mind, everyone started making their preparations for the final showdown.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam made his way over to Bridgette and sat down next to her "We're getting ready to make an assault on Dregg's ship."

"Good, the sooner this is over the better." she didn't bother looking at him.

"Come on Bridge, talk to me. What's going on, what's eating away at you?"

"...How do you do it Adam?"

"Do what?"

"For as long as I've known you you've always put others before yourself, you've done things for other people that would drive most people insane all for the sake of helping others. You've always been so gentle and compassionate, yet so blunt and fearless, strong willed and determined, yet you've never thrown the first punch, never started a fight even if you were in a good number of them, and even when you do fight it's always for the sake of others and not for yourself, and that was before you got these crazy powers that make you into some kind of superhero. I don't think I have that, even with these electrical powers I just don't think

"...I'm not perfect Bridgette, I've done a few things over the years that I'm not proud of and I never will be. When I fought Mal for the first time almost 5 years ago I tried to force myself to believe that I was fighting him just to save Mike, but deep down somewhere inside of me part of me was urging me on to finish the job for what he did to me." he pulled up his shirt, revealing that he had discarded his fake layer of skin and his scars were now visible "Not just for these, but for what he did to my mom and my dad. I think Carlos saw that in me and tried to cleanse me of my hatred in any way that he could. When I first signed up to be on Total Drama so that I could help Cody win Carlos was pretty sick back then, and the day before I left he gave me something really important." he pulled out something very familiar.

Bridgette was quick to recognize it "That's like the necklace Alejandro wears all the time."

"It's a family thing, they each get a bull headed necklace when they turn 16. It's been a tradition in their family for generations. I didn't realize it at the time but he knew that that would probably be the last time that I would see him while he was alive and he wanted me to keep this as a sort of memento of him. It definitely worked, even while I was at war with Alejandro throughout the course of Total Drama World Tour I didn't try to get you guys to vote him off because I held too much respect for Carlos. Even when we fought back in Area 51 I didn't try to hurt him too badly because of that and I only fought when he threw the first punch. Now I realize that I wasn't just fighting him because of what he did to Duncan and Courtney, and to Gwen and Cody by extension, it was because of how he was disrespecting Carlos' teachings and everything that he believed in. I felt like I couldn't let that go unanswered."

"But you just were doing it to protect Carlos' teachings and try to snap Alejandro out of that mindset, that couldn't be helped."

"Maybe not, but now that Alejandro is one of the few people that I can trust with this secret I still feel kind of guilty about that."

"I guess." she smiled slightly "Plus there are those few times with the kangaroo back when we were in Australia."

"Hey that's an exception, that thing started!" he sounded indignant, which prompted her to giggle slightly "Anyway things died down for awhile after that, at least until we hit Africa and all of that shit went down."

"You mean with me almost falling to my death."

"I was gonna say with Cody and the others being kidnapped by M'Baku, truth be told I probably never would've been able to beat him if it wasn't for Chef and I wouldn't have been able to take him down if I didn't have what I was fighting for."

"Not to mention that after that you saved my life."

"I never would've been able to if it wasn't for DJ. Anyway to answer your question Bridgette, I don't fight just for the sake of it. Training and working out all the time is honestly more of a stress relief thing or a hobby of some kind, but my real strength comes from my burning desire to protect the people that I care about. I don't see myself as a hero or a savior or anything because I don't think of myself as worthy of titles like that. I don't see myself as a fighter and I'm more than just a warrior, what I want to think of myself as is a protector. I just want to protect them and make sure no pain befalls them, no matter how much pain may befall me. That's who I am and that's what I want to do, make sure that nobody has to go through the same pain that I did because of Mal." he wrapped an arm around her "But if there's one thing I've learned from being on Total Drama, it's that whatever burden you carry it's not one that you have to carry on your own."

"...You know you're pretty wise for a college student."

"I'm really not, I just had a really good teacher. Come on, we've got a big fight on our hands right now." he pulled her to her feet "And that reminds me, when this is over I've got something really important that I wanna tell you."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Get the shell off of us you dang dirty bugs!" Mikey and Donnie were taken by the bug soldiers into Dregg's ship, although not very gracefully, and were thrown into prison pods in the back.

Lord Dregg looked down on them with nothing but pure contempt "There is no escape from my webs of vengeance fleshlings, you see you've messed with the wrong intergalactic overlord. It won't be long now, soon this primitive mud ball of a planet will be little more than dirt beneath my feet!" he looked out at the people still being trapped and cocooned onto the gigantic nest covering the Channel 6 building.

Leonardo and the others were mortified "Are you… Are you going to eat all of those innocent people?"

"Of course not, even I find that disgusting. I intend to make them into living egg sacs to be used by my Vreen children."

The Newtralizer didn't seem too keen on this idea "You mean you're going to capture every human on this planet? That's going to take way too much time Dregg, just blow this wretched planet up so we can move on and destroy the rest of those damned Utrom!"

"Don't correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember asking for your opinion on this matter hench-" Dregg was cut off by an explosion and looked down to see the Earth Protection Force firing at the ship with the Utrom weaponry in full force "Is that the best that these humans are capable of? That's just pathetic, Vreen return fire!" he had his ship fire an energy blast down at the EPF forces forces, sending those who could running, seeing how a good number of them had been incapacitated by the blast.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That's right you worthless puny fleshlings, capture as many as you can my children and then stomp the rest and those who would dare to stand in your way! Give them the same treatment that they give my children!"

That was when a blast hit the other side of the Maligna ship, courtesy of Raphael and the others in the Turtle Mech "Say hello to the Turtle Mech you can cockroach!"

"This is just excellent, they put themselves in a tin can and now all I have to do is squeeze them out of it!" so Dregg had his ship start firing energy blasts at the mech.

Raphael and the others dodged the blasts and leapt onto the side of the ship, only to be met with a large number of leech soldiers latching onto the front of the Turtle Mech "Hang on guys, let me shred-"

"I've got these guys!" Adam quickly blitzed in front of the Turtle Mech and cut the leeches down using Shatterstorm, splattering himself with goo "Go ahead and keep going guys, I'm gonna do what I can to help the EPF from out here!" he blitzed forward and dealt the ship a sharp lightning enhanced kick to the face "And now for the coup de grace!" he fired two simultaneous blasts of electricity, one at the ship to stun it and the other at a nearby pesticide factory, releasing a massive cloud of gas, damaging it considerably and knocking it to the ground "Alright guys I made an opening, now's your chance!"

"Alright, just be careful out here." so Bridgette kissed Adam on the cheek, grabbed Alejandro by the shoulder and the two of them blitzed away into Dregg's ship.

So with that out of the way, Adam made his way over to the EPF "Hey guys, you need some help with this?"

"All of the civilians were supposed to have been evacuated!" one of the soldiers barked "Get out of here and get to somewhere safe!"

"Calm down guys, there's no need to get so worked up." he held up an Utrom symbole "I was sent here by Bishop, I'm here to help. And before you say anything like I'm just a kid let me point out to you that I'm the one who stunned that thing and blew up the pesticide factory. Now that I say that out loud I realize that I probably shouldn't have said that."

"...If you're with Bishop then you're fine with us, what's the plan?"

"From what I've been told by Bishop these things are weak to electricity, the heavy hitters with all of the Utrom tech should aim for the legs since that's the weak spot. I'll do any damage that I can with my powers, the rest of you work on freeing and evacuating the citizens that have already been captured over on the Channel 6 building. Got it?"

"Sir yes sir!"

"Good, now move out men!" so as they moved out to carry out the plan Adam drew Shatterstorm off of his back as the axe and his Hurricane Gauntlets all began crackling with a massive amount of electricity as the skies darkened and he leveled his gaze on Lord Dregg's ship "And as for you… BRING ME K'VATHRAK!" with a mighty roar he burst forward and brought down his axe on the head of the ship, heavily damaging it as well as annihilating every bug soldier in the surrounding area while the EPF got to work on attacking the legs of the ship.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the same time, Bridgette and Alejandro appeared inside Dregg's ship "Okay we're in, now we've gotta get moving. The other Turtles and Sal Commander will have to be around here somewhere."

"From what Adam has told me, Lord Dregg sees his prisoners as trophies and prefers to keep them in his throne room so he can gloat over his victories." Alejandro told her.

"So then we make a break for the throne room and then we-"

"Rokka rokka!" the Newtralizer suddenly blitzed onto the scene and used his powers to send the two of them tumbling backwards, his body crackling with electricity "You foolish girl, your power is weak in comparison to what I wield rokka rokka!"

"What's weak is how you let your hatred for the Kraang, a species who have been gone from this dimension for almost an entire year, drive you to take the lives of innocent Utrom who have never done anything to you! For the sake of those you've hurt, I'm going to defeat you here and now!" and so the two of them charged at each other at full speed, clashing throughout the area using their blitzing abilities "Alejandro head to the throne room and free the others, I'll take care of the Newtralizer and join up with you soon!"

"Very well, just do not waste time with him!" and so Alejandro took off running down the halls of the ship.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Raphael and the others were still struggling with subduing Dregg's ship as it got back up, even with the damage Adam and the EPF had dealt it "The pesticide isn't working, it's starting to shake it of! April hit em with fire!"

"How about I make it extra crispy?" April unleashed the Turtle Mech's flamethrower down on the ship, causing it to roar in pain.

"Rokka rokka, don't let up on it! We've got them now!" Mona Lisa forced the Turtle Mech to leap high into the air and attempt to force their way into the ship by breaking through the front, only for the ship to catch the Turtle Mech in its jaws and close it, ripping off the Turtle Mech's arms and legs in the process, but the four of them still managed to escape in time and use their grappling hooks to get themselves up onto the roof of the ship.

Raphael voiced the question of the day "Now then, how the hell are we supposed to get into this thing?"

"I've got it." that was when Adam blitzed onto the scene "Civilians are safe and the EPF are dealing with this thing's legs, let's rock some shit." he swung Shatterstorm and unleashed a blast of lightning that carved a hole into the ship "Let's go then, we've got friends to save and a gigantic newt to kill." and so the five of them jumped down into the hole.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam lead the group down into the hole and led them into the throne room "Okay guys we're here."

"So what now, we free the others?" asked April.

"Nope." he fired a blast of lightning up at where Lord Dregg and his bug soldiers were planning to ambush them.

Dregg was the only one who managed to dodge "To think you were foolish enough to come here and face me in person, now I can eliminate you all and at last claim my vengeance for your transgressions-" he was cut off when the Newtralizer suddenly landed on him and threw him to the ground "For crying out loud K'Vathrak, why do you always have to interrupt me when I'm in the middle of a good monologue?" he received a groan "So what in the universe are you doing right now?"

That was when Bridgette blitzed onto the scene "You can thank me for that, that's so unexpected it's shocking even to me!" she unleashed a blast of electricity towards the purple prison pods, freeing Leo and Donnie "How was that?"

"7/10 for the blast, 5/10 for the pun." Adam unleashed his own blast of electricity towards the rest of the purple prison pods, freeing Mikey and Sal Commander.

"I didn't think you would be such a tough scorer."

"Yeah well, now you do."

"Trespassing fools!" now thoroughly pissed off, Dregg summoned a large number of his bug soldiers out of nowhere, which the Turtles and the others started fighting off and beheading and the like.

The Newtralizer subdued Sal Commander with a quick blast of electricity and used another blast to send Adam stumbling backwards "Now guess what G'Throkka, your tail is going on my belt as a trophy!" he grabbed Sal Commander by the tail.

"Let him go! Booyakasha!" Bridgette dealt the Newtralizer an ice enhanced kick to the face, sending the three of them falling down through a hole.

Adam watched this as he cut down another bug soldier with Shatterstorm 'Bridgette… It's all up to you now.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

By this point, Bridgette was sliding down a tunnel into the deeper parts of the ship, with Sal Commander and the Newtralizer right behind her, only now she was on her stomach "This right here is why years of surfing pays off, be sure to take notes commander!"

"I will be sure to keep this in mind!" Sal Commander dealt the Newtralizer a sharp kick to the jaw, sending him through a hole in the side of the tunnel "You do seem like an honorable being miss… Bridgette is it? Yes perhaps you wouldn't mind teaching me?"

"I'd love to, after this is over that is." they landed in a large room with what looked like an electric core in the center below many platforms and levels "What the heck, it looks like some kind of electric insect rave party."

"This is Lord Dregg's power station, it provides energy for the entire ship."

"That… was not going to be my second guess, truth be told it wasn't even close. So then what do we-"

"ROKKA ROKKA!" the Newtralizer suddenly burst onto the scene and charged at them in a rage.

"Look out!" Bridgette pushed Sal Commander out of the way and charged at the Newtralizer at full speed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The battle in the throne room raged on against Lord Dregg and his Insectoid forces.

Adam was quick to send Lord Dregg tumbling backwards with a blast of electricity "He can't take any sort of electricity, just take care of the foot soldiers and leave Dregg himself to me to deal with!"

"Right! You heard him everyone, let us take this battle and claim victory!" so Alejandro and the others started to finish off the remaining bug soldiers and the numbers quickly began to dwindle away.

Adam made his way over to Dregg's downed form "This battle is over, you lose and now you're gonna pay the price for attacking this world."

"Perhaps… but perhaps not…" Lord Dregg forced himself to his feet with a malicious smirk plastered across his face "I must say boy you are quite talented, very nicely done. You hold power and potential within you that not even you have begun to understand, and yet despite that you continue to exceed my expectations. You destroy hundreds if not thousands of my children and dominate K'Vathrak with powers surpassing even his and you appear none the worse for wear about it. If you're interested then I seem to find myself short a bounty hunter, with your fearless strength you would make a worthy addition to my forces as my top general. Think of it, you would be a respected warrior and magnificent warriors if not the universe itself would be at your disposal. What would you say to that?"

Adam looked down on him, his eyes showing his dead serious expression "I don't work for scum, and even if I did that sounds pretty lame. Count me out."

"...You turn up your nose at my offer." he was barely concealing his rage "That's a shame. By the way my boy I'm curious about that axe that you wield, it must be quite a piece of workmanship is it not? Truly, for how else could you have drawn it through as many of my children as you did with such ease? Might I take a closer look?"

Adam made no moves.

"Oh come now boy, you're not afraid to be without your trust weapon for a moment now are you?"

"...You want to see the Shatterstorm do you?" Adam held out a hand to stop Alejandro and the others from advancing as he drew Shatterstorm off of his back and threw it to him "Go ahead and look as much as you like."

Dregg caught the axe in his hand and observed the blade "Just as I had expected, this weapon has been forged by a master. I'm thinking that perhaps the only reason that you slew as many of my children as you did was because you had this axe in hand, does that sound about right?"

"I don't know, is that what you believe?"

"Yes, at last it all makes perfect sense now!" he gripped the axe with both hands "Clearly without this magnificent weapon in your possession you are nothing, now DIE!" he brought down the blade.

Adam easily caught the blade with one hand as his body began crackling with electricity and he began pushing Dregg backwards inch by inch "Well I think it's safe to say that you're wrong but you probably figured that one out for yourself already." he held out his hand towards Dregg's chest.

"Wait no! Mer-"

"Are you really going to ask me for mercy?" his eyes started blazing not with his power, but with his unrivaled fury "How many innocent people have asked you for mercy as you wiped them out for the sake of your so called empire? Hundreds, thousands? What gives you the right to expect any, especially from me?! Let me answer that for you, you don't deserve any." and with that he fired one final blast, killing Lord Dregg before he even had time to scream and blowing a massive hole through the ship, before he powered back down and strapped Shatterstorm back onto his back.

Alejandro slowly approached him and put a hand on his shoulder "You killed him, but you chose not to do it for vengeance. Well done."

"...Come on, we've gotta go help Bridgette and Sal Commander deal with the Newtralizer before he adapts to her powers too."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The battle in the ship's power station continued in earnest.

Bridgette was continuously clashing with the Newtralizer, blitzing throughout the area and keeping up with him for one blow after another "I've got some crazy zap in my tap, and now you're gonna feel just how much!"

"Rokka rokka!" the Newtralizer dealt Bridgette a sharp kick to the torso and blitzed forward to follow up.

Bridgette blitzed away from him in a brief chase around the power station but was eventually hit by a stray blast of electricity and sent crashing into a nearby wall.

"This little game is over girl, now I'm going to take you apart piece by piece!"

"Traitorous wretch!" lucky for Bridgette, that was when Sal Commander burst onto the scene and dealt the Newtralizer a sharp kick to the torso, sending him falling to his apparent death in the ship's power core "Are you alright?"

"Yeah… Yeah I'm okay." Bridgette got back to her feet just as a massive surge filled the power station "This is bad, the power core must not be able to absorb all of the Newtralizer's electrical energy! It's going to come down!"

That was when Adam and the others showed up "Alright so I went bug zapper on Lord Dregg and now that's dealt with, what's the situation with the Newtralizer?"

"Sal Commander kicked him into the power core and now the whole ship is gonna blow and we're all still inside."

"Huh. So this is happening. But is the Newtralizer actually-"

"ROKKA ROKKA!" that was when the Newtralizer burst up from within the power core, his entire body now completely overloaded with power as he fired a massive blast of electricity at the group.

Adam and Bridgette shared a look and a nod, and together they combined their powers and used them to fend off the blast "It's okay, we've got this! Everyone hurry and get out of here before the ship explodes!"

"No, you mustn't or it will destroy the both of you!" Sal Commander protested.

"You got a better idea? Didn't think so, now stop whining and get moving already before this guy turns into Newtzilla!" Adam ripped off one of his Hurricane Gauntlets and quickly tossed it towards Alejandro "Now hurry up and go already!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Realizing that it was going to be destroyed and that its master was gone, Dregg's ship tried in vain to take off and leave the Earth.

Alejandro quickly used the Hurricane Gauntlet to punch a way out of the ship "This way everyone, we must hurry!" so he ushered the Turtles, April and the Salamandrians out of the ship and onto the roof of the Channel 6 building nearby.

"Looks like the ship is taking off, but what about Adam and Bridgette?" Mikey was answered with the ship exploding in mid air "Oh. Oh shell."

Alejandro hung his head in silence.

That was when a flash of light appeared, revealing Adam holding Bridgette in his arms bridal style, both of them alive and well "Hey guys, what's up?"

"Excellent work mi amigo, senorita." Alejandro caught Adam in a quick high five, only to end up electrocuted and blown back into a wall, the gauntlet being blown off in the process "Ow…"

"Sorry about that." Adam set Bridgette down "That reminds me Bridge, what are we gonna do about your powers?"

"I have the solution." that was when Bishop revealed himself, having lost his artificial skin but oddly enough not his shades, and he still had the Electrical Dampening Cannon "This weapon did not have any effect on the Newtralizer but it could still work on Bridgette. With her consent of course."

"Go ahead and do it." Bridgette told him without a moment's hesitation "This power, it's tempting but in a bad way. There's a line with this sort of thing, I'm not sure where it is exactly but I know that if I keep it then I could end up on the same side of it as the Newtralizer and that's definitely on the wrong side of it. I can't and won't force my answers on people, not after everything that I've seen and done in the past 24 hours. This kind of power, it's too much for anyone and it should never be used again. Do it."

"Very well." so Bishop fired the Electrical Dampening Cannon, stripping Bridgette of her powers once and for all "How do you feel?"

"Like I just came off of a major sugar high, but otherwise I feel fine."

So Mikey then made the call "Well then I same it's time to celebrate, Booyakasha style! The pizza is on me!"

"I'm afraid we do not have time for a celebration." Sal Commander ruined the mood "Myself and lieutenant Y'Gythgba must head back to Salamandria and report to the General on the outcome of our mission. Rokka rokka."

That was when Mona Lisa had a different thought "But Commander G'Throkka I… I request permission to remain on the planet Earth in order to maintain safety of the planet from various potential insectoid alien threats sir."

Sal Commander saw right through this and gave a small smile "Your permission has been granted Lieutenant Y'Gythgba, you may remain on Earth."

"Thank you sir."

And then Bishop ruined the moment "Negative, such a thing violates protocol 27-9-B which refers to unauthorized aliens remaining on planet-"

"No one cares Bishop." Adam punched off the head of his droid "Anyway Raphael, Mona Lisa, you guys do whatever you want but there's something I have to say first." he took Bridgette to the side.

"So what's up?" asked Bridgette "I mean no offense Adam but I doubt whatever you say can top what we just went through as being the most noteworthy thing to happen today."

"Try me." he took a deep breaths and gently took her hands in his "Bridgette… For so long I had always believed that life is nothing more than a struggle to accomplish an important goal and once you accomplish that goal you have nothing left to live for, and the only thing you have left to do was end it, and that nobody would care if you were still there or not. You would be cast off into the next world, and this world would just forget that you existed, as if you were never there to begin with, to emphasize even further that your existence made no difference in the world. I was fine with that because I didn't think I really had anything to live for. But after I met you, those thoughts began to change. After I lost my parents and Mike disappeared, I sort of built a wall around me so that I would prevent myself from getting hurt, and Carlos was the only one who at first who could really penetrate that wall. I had thought that life would go on without me and that no one would miss me, that after my goal had been accomplished I wouldn't have had any reason to live. But you… you gave me a reason to live beyond that point, to actually want to live after I accomplish that goal, to give me something to fight to protect so that I won't have to resort to fighting through anger alone. And that's why… I love you Bridgette. I really and truly love you." he leaned in and kissed her.

"...Yep it's official, that was totally worth giving up all of that power." she eagerly returned the kiss in full as she wrapped her arms around his neck "And Adam… I love you too."

"Well this is disgusting." Raphael muttered, only to be blasted off the roof by Adam.

A/N:

This is the second of a few crossover chapters with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the 2012 series, since I had so much fun doing the first one I figured why not do a few more of them. This one is based on the 2 parter from season 5, When Worlds Collide. I've been stewing on this one for awhile and I figured why not add it into this story.

I added in Bridgette and gave her water powers instead Mikey with his electricity powers because I wanted to give her more screen time, or more page time I guess, since she hasn't appeared since the prologue. Plus I gave an explanation for her acquiring the powers which the original episode lacked, and it adds into something I'll introduce next chapter.

The "BRING ME K'VATHRAK" scene, in case it wasn't obvious, is a reference to Thor's arrival in Wakanda in Avengers: Infinity War.

This is the start of Adam getting more and more armored up over the course of the next few chapters, as is mentioned in the title of the chapter.

So just for the sake of being clear about the 10 dimensions, the Turtle reality is the 7th dimension and the Underdog/ Total Drama reality is the 8th dimension and Dimension X is the 10th dimension (X is 10 in roman numerals). 4 of the other 7 dimensions (the other 3 being the other Turtle realities such as 1987 Turtles, 2003 Turtles and prime Turtles) will be visited or at least referenced later on throughout this story and later on in the series

Also, to Gazpacho again: I know that people might not be a huge fan of that but I can assure you that the fourth and final story of the trilogy will be full on Total Drama stuff, at least for the most part. Also, thanks for the support. It really does mean a lot.
