Chapter 2: Plans in the making.
In the last Chapter, the Ninja Turtles hear news about the Purple Dragon gang committing a robbery so they set out to fix the problem. Elsewhere, the Science Ninja Team, after being accidentally transported, walks around in an unfamiliar area, looking for a way to get back. However, it seems that they've already run into trouble.
"From the looks of it, I say you guys are thugs." says Ken.
"Kid, do you have any idea who we are?" says the mohawk thug. "We're the Purple Dragons! Nobody crosses us!"
"Yeah!" says a masked thug. "And we don't recall inviting you here."
"Alright guys, you want a fight, you got one!" said Joe. He then runs up to the gang and punches one of the thugs in the face.
"You're gonna pay for that, chump!" says the mohawk thug as he rushes at Joe but is also knocked down. Joe then tries fighting off the rest of the group until the other team members jump in. However, since they're outnumbered and are not in their bird suits, they get the worst of it.
Suddenly, while the thugs stand over the team, they get knocked away from them by descending figures.
"What in the world…!" says the blue-haired thug. They all look up to see who the figures are. It was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"You guys just don't know when to quit, do you?" says Leo.
"I can say the same about you guys!" says the blue-haired thug.
As they clash, the Science Ninja Team slowly gets up and watches as the two sides fight.
"Come on!" says Ken. "Let's get a better view!" They run to the opposite side of the building where they witness the fight going on.
"Pardon me if this sounds nuts but…are those turtles that those thugs are fighting?" asks Joe.
"I…don't know." says Jinpei. "Fighting turtles? I've never seen anything like it." Ken looks closely at the turtles as they fight, impressed at their fighting skills.
"Well what are we gonna do, team?" asks Jun. "Those…turtles just saved us and it's just four of them. That's less than us and we couldn't even do any better."
"You're right, Jun." says Ken. "And now we have to help them out too." Ken raises his fist and says "Bird-Go!" He outfit then changes into the Science Ninja Team outfit.
"Ken?" says Ryu. "We don't even know these guys and you're still gonna go and help them?"
"Even if we are foreign to this world, we should always fight to keep the peace." says Ken. "Now lets go help those…uhh…turtles."
"Right" said the rest of the team. "Bird-Go!" they say and their outfits change into the Science Ninja Team outfit.
Meanwhile, the turtles are still fighting the Purple Dragon thugs but as they're outnumbered, they're taking a while to beat them. "Guys, doesn't it seem like we're going nowhere in this fight?" asks Mikey, who gets knocked out by one of the thugs immediately afterwards.
"I see what you mean, Mikey!" says Raph after he kicks a thug member. "But we don't got any choice!" He then gets knocked from behind.
Leo is fighting two at once and is forced to stay on the defensive until a sudden flying object hits both of the thugs, knocking them down. The flying object was a specially designed boomerang that returned to its owner, Ken the Eagle. Leo then sees the five member team standing together.
The Turtles and the Purple Dragon thugs then shift their attentions to where the boomerang came from. "Who the heck are you guys!" asks one of the thugs.
"We're the Science Ninja Team!" says Ken the Eagle. "We stand up for what's right!" The team then gets into their fighting stances.
The Turtles notices the bird-themed capes they wear, confirming that they were in fact the ones that defeated the Foot Clan members the night before. "Wow!" says Mikey. "Cool superhero outfits."
"Hah!" says the blue-haired thug. "Another group of freaks! We'll take care of you as well!" He then runs over to the Ken and attempts to hit him with his bat but Ken jumps over him and kicks him in the head, knocking him into Ryu, who then knocks the thug back. Together with the Ninja Turtles, the team manages to overpower the rest of the team, except for one thug who hides on the side of a trashcan. Quietly, he talks on his cell-phone, informing his boss of what's going on.
Afterwards, all the thugs are defeated. "Good work, team" says Ken. Right after that, Leo says "Nice work, bros." Both sides then turn around to look at each other.
"Come on guys!" says Leonardo. "Let's get out of this area! We can't be seen by anymore people!" He then looks at the team at again. "You guys should get out of here too. It's too dangerous here." The turtles then leap their ways to the top of the building.
The team looks at each other in confusion. "Talking turtles?" says Joe. "Okay, I think I've seen it all."
"I think it's best that we follow them." says Ken.
"What? Are you serious, Ken?" asked Ryu.
"Of course I am. Besides, we don't know our way around this place so we need help from someone who do. Seeing how those turtle guys just helped us, I think they're the best chance we got."
"Big bro's right" says Jinpei "I don't think those turtles are bad guys."
"All we need is somewhere to settle until we can get back to our headquarters." said Ken. "I'm sure these turtle guys know there way around here pretty good." He then looks up at the turtles. "Hey guys! Wait up!"
After making their way up to the top, the team finally meets up with the turtles.
"Okay, who in the world are you guys?" asks Raph. "And what the shell are you guys wearing?"
"Umm…we're the Science Ninja Team." says Ken. "My name is Ken the Eagle, also known as Gatchaman."
"Science Ninja?" says Donnie says to Mikey. "That's something new."
"Well my name is Leonardo and these are my brothers." says Leo. Each turtle introduce themselves to the team, with the team the doing the same to the turtles afterwards.
"Now we've been around here for a long time, so how come we never heard of you guys before?" asked Leo.
"Well…" says Ryu. "You see…we're new here."
"Yeah." says Jinpei. "We're…from somewhere else."
"Really?" says Donnie. "Like where?" Jinpei and Ryu look up, thinking about what to say.
"I think it would be best we just go on and tell'em." said Joe.
"I agree." says Jun. "What reason do have to keep it a secret?"
"You're both right." says Ken, after closing his eyes.
Raph looks around at his brothers, saying "What the shell are they talking about, guys?"
"Okay, we'll tell you where we come from but first let me ask you something; can you tell us where we are at this moment?" asked Ken.
"Well besides being on top of a building, you're in Manhattan." says Mikey.
Jinpei looks up at Ryu. "Manhattan? Never heard of it." he says.
"Then that could only mean one thing." says Ryu.
"Yeah." says Ken. He then looks at the turtles. "Okay, listen, this is a little something I don't want any of you to tell anyone else."
Master Splinter walks in on the conversation, saying "If it's a secret, then its best we don't talk about it here." The Science Ninja Team look stunned.
"Yes, Master Splinter." says Leo.
"Okay, tell me that I hit my head real hard and that this is all just a weird dream because now I think I'm seeing a talking…rat?" says Ryu.
"We'll get to that another time." says Leo. "Right now, just follow us."
The turtles head to the sewers with the team following them. Inside, Ken explains to the turtles how they ended up in this dimension.
"So let me get this straight." said Leo. "You guys were fighting against your enemies when they accidentally activated a dimensional portal?"
"Yeah." said Ken. "We were so close to unmasking that freak too." said Ken. "If only those Galactor scums didn't interfere."
"This Galactor, do you think they're around here too?" asked Donnie.
"It's possible." said Joe. "I don't think he could have escaped in the condition his mecha was in."
"You know guys, this is all starting to sound too familiar." says Raph.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Jinpei.
"Just three weeks ago, we experienced something similar." said Donnie. "We met ourselves from a different dimension."
"Yeah and trust me, I've never seen goof-balls like them before." said Mikey. The turtles and Master Splinter all look at him. "What?" said Mikey.
"Nothing." said the turtles.
"Well anyway, if you've experience this already, then does that mean you can take us back?" asked Joe.
"Sure." said Donnie. "I'll go get the device." Donnie goes to the back to get the device.
"So how did you guys become…turtles…and a rat?" asked Jinpei.
"To make a long story short, we mutated from normal turtles due to some ooze dropped by a boy." said Leo. "Our Master Splinter, who also touched the ooze, found us and raised us to become who we are today."
"Makes sense, I guess." said Ryu. "Does the whole world know about you?"
"Nope." said Raph. "The world wouldn't understand. That's why we remain secret."
"I train these turtles in the ancient arts of ninjutsu." said Splinter. "Therefore, they fight while remaining in the shadows."
"Understandable." says Ken. "And with your great ninjutsu skills, you found us, right?"
"Well that kind of happened by chance." said Mikey. "We were stopping some robbers and after that, we heard some noises going on and found some kids fighting against the Purple Dragon gang."
"That was us." said Jinpei, laughing.
Donnie shows up with the transportal stick. "Here it is." says Donnie, as he shows the team.
"That's the device?" asked Jinpei.
"It looks like a flashlight." said Jun.
"It's more than just a mere flashlight." said Donnie. "With this, you can go to many different dimensions. You can also view them too. Watch." He then turns the stick towards the wall and turned the light switch on to view a different universe, the 1987 TMNT verse. "See?"
"Cool! It's like watching TV or something." said Jinpei. Donnie then switches to numerous different universes, such as the Live Action verse, the Turtle Prime (Mirage) verse, the 3D verse, and even the TMNT anime verse. He then continues to switch to other universes before finally switching to the Gatchaman universe.
"Wait!" said Ken. "I think that's our world there."
"Yeah." said Jun. "That looks like my bar too."
"So after this, what do we do next?" asked Joe.
"With this device, I could just easily zap you back to your place." said Donnie. "So are you guys ready to go?"
"Not yet." said Ken. He then looks on his wristband. "Dr. Nambu?"
"Hey, what's that?" said Raph. "Is that some kind of hi-tech watch?"
"Well, actually, it's what we use to change our gear." said Ken. "It's also a transmitter."
"That's awesome!" said Mikey. "Hey guys, why don't we…"
"Don't even think about it, Mikey!" said Raphael.
Ken then looks back at his wristband. "Dr. Nambu?"
"Yes Gatchaman, come in." said Nambu.
"Sorry. We were cut off earlier. Have you been able to detect any trouble from Galactor lately?"
"No, I'm afraid not. What about you guys? Have you been able to find a way back?"
"Yes we have. But we're not ready to come just yet."
"What? Why not?"
"Yeah Ken." said Joe. "Why can't we go back?"
"Just think, guys." said Ken. "We weren't the only ones in that mecha. Berg Katse and some of his Galactor members were in there too."
"Which means…" says Jinpei.
"Which means that they could also be around here too." said Ken.
Joe then gets up out of his seat. "Well what are we waiting for?" says Joe. "Let's go find him and kick his tail!"
"Umm…guys I hate to interrupt but who is this Katse dude?" asked Mickey.
"He's a dangerous terrorist who leads Galactor." says Ken. "We have to find him before he either escapes or start attacking the city."
"Then we'll go with you guys!" said Leo.
"Really?" said Jun.
"Of course." said Leo. "I promise we'll do our best to stop this madman and his organization."
"Yeah!" says Raph. "Nobody is gonna come to our home and mess it up!"
"Well Doctor?" says Ken. "We got some guys here who want to come along for the ride. Is that okay with you?"
"If these people are trustworthy, then I'm all for it." said Dr. Nambu.
"Okay. Thanks Doc." said Ken.
"I pray for you and your friends' success, team."
"Be careful, everyone." said Master Splinter. "I have faith all of you. Always remember the ways of the ninja."
"Yes, sir." said Ken.
"We won't let you down, master." said Leo.
At the Foot Headquarters, Berg Katse and his Galactor members appear before the place, not knowing what place they're at.
"Grr!" said Katse. "If only our mecha wasn't so damaged when we got here, we would have been back to Earth!" He then calms down a bit. "But it doesn't really matter. As long as the Science Ninja Team isn't too far out of our grasp, I could still crush them!"
Suddenly, the door opens with Foot Ninjas jumping forward in front of them, with their katannas drawn. The Galactor members point their guns at the ninjas. Then out comes their current leader, Karai.
"This is the home of the Foot Clan! What brings you to this place, intruders?" she said.
"Hold your fire!" said Katse, to his followers. He then walks up to Karai and bows in front of her. "Greetings, young lady. I am Berg Katse, commander of Galactor." Karai then kicks Katse in the chest, knocking him down. The Galactor members are ready to open fire, as the Foot Clan is ready to attack.
"Leave this place before it's too late!" said Karai.
"Uhh…wait!" Katse says, getting up. "We're not here to fight! We're here for help!"
"Help?" asked Karai. "What do you mean 'help'?"
"Well…have you heard of the news where these people dressed up in outfits with bird-like capes, attacking ninjas?" asked Katse.
"Yes." said Karai. "Those were Foot Ninjas that were defeated."
"Well as you know, it's been big news everywhere. I just would like let you know that these are new ninjas that are a big threat to your society. They should be eliminated immediately and you can't do it all by yourself. You'll need someone like me." said Katse.
"And why should we trust you?" asked Karai.
"Because I know more about these ninjas. They, like me, are not from this world." Katse replied.
"What did you say?" said Karai.
"Yes." said Katse. "We're from a different world that is quite similar to this one. Those ninjas are nothing but trouble, and there's no doubt in my mind that they will come after you as well. So what do you say we work together and take them out?"
Karai then points her katanna at Katse, saying "If you dare deceive the Foot Clan, you'll be punished for it."
"Understood." said Katse. In his mind, he believes things are going according to plan; without the God Phoenix, he believes the Science Ninja Team is powerless and thus, would be unprepared for his next attack on them, which would surely get rid of them for good. He would then get rid of Karai, take over the Foot Clan and rule both Earths, pleasing his leader, Leader X.
