Chapter 5: The God Phoenix Strikes Back

Because of the deceiving lips of Berg Katse, Karai has her sights set on the Ninja Turtles and the Science Ninja Team. It wasn't until during her attack on them that she realized the truth. Now she's teamed up with enemies to take out the real threat but Katse's scorpion mecha now fully repaired, is it too late?

"There must be something we can do!" said Leo.

"We'll do what we can!" said Karai. "You all form up your own plan in the meantime!" She, along with a few Foot Clan members, then fled the scene.

"Karai!" yells Leo but she continues to leave.

"We need the God Phoenix!" said Ken. "Donnie, do you have that transdimensional portal stick?"

"Yeah, it's right here!" said Donnie, as he shows it to Ken.

"Use it to take us to our world! Quick!" said Ken.

"Right!" said Donnie.

As Donnie pushes the button, they are transported to the Gatchaman universe, where they are between two buildings.

"Yes, we're back!" said Ken. "This is definitely our world!"

Jinpei sighs. "Boy, it's good to be back home." he said.

"So…this is your world?" asked Mikey.

"Yeah, Mike." said Joe. "Not much different from yours, huh?"

"I don't know." said Mikey. "Something about it feels kind of…strange"

"We have no time discuss things like that." said Ken. "C'mon everybody, let's head to the ISO Headquarters."

"Wait Ken, what about us?" asked Donnie.

"Yeah." said Raph. "I'm pretty sure that walking, talking turtles don't exist in your world."

"They're right, Ken." said Jun. "How are we gonna explain this to Dr. Nambu?" Ken closes his eyes, as if to think deeply about it.

Later, at ISO Headquarters, the turtles and team meet with Dr. Nambu. After introducing the turtles to Nambu, Ken then fills him in on everything that's happened so far.

"So doc, the best way to do this is to use the God Phoenix." said Ken. "As of now, that's the only way to save their world. What do you say?"

"Well…I'm surprised you didn't already tell me that your allies were walking, talking turtles." said Nambu. The turtles then look at each other, as if they're disappointed. "But I'm glad you've found allies that are trustworthy." he finished.

"I'm impressed at the technology of this place." said Donnie as he looks around. "Very scientific."

"Yes." said Nambu. "We at the ISO use our scientific knowledge for many things, including fighting enemies."

"Wow! Very interesting." said Donnie.

"Team, I'm very grateful that you've nearly solved the problem without using the God Phoenix but it seems that that's what it comes down to." said Nambu. "Therefore, I will allow you launch the God Phoenix."

"Roger!" said the team. Mikey also says "Roger" although Raph slaps him in the head for obviously being silly.

"I pray for your success, team. All of you." said Nambu.

"We'll try to be as much help as possible, Doctor." said Leo.

"Well said, Leonardo." said Nambu. "Good luck."

The team then uses their vehicles to launch the God Phoenix. The turtles hop on board shortly afterwards.

"Amazing!" said Donnie. "I just love the design of this ship and how it can be formed. With different vehicles and everything? Outstanding"

"Pretty neat, huh?" asked Joe. "This ship can also be a deadly weapon against enemies, especially enemy mechas, which is why we use this ship for our missions."

"Yeah, yeah, sure!" said Raph. "Enough with the infatuation! We got something more important to worry about…like saving our world?"

"He's right, guys." said Leo. "Katse is ruining the city as we speak. Donnie, use the stick to send us back."

"Right." said Donnie. He then pushes the button that sends them back to the TMNT universe.

As they are sent there, the street is in ruins with many buildings destroyed. Katse's scorpion mecha is in a nearby desert where many people are using different kinds of firearms to destroy it, but with no hope. Even Hun and his gang unsuccessfully try to destroy it. "Nobody comes to our world and ruin it!" said Hun.

Katse laughs as many people are unsuccessful at destroying his mecha. "These fools are hopeless! They're no match for my creations!" he said. "Soon, this world will know the name of Galactor and they will bow to me!"

Karai and her Foot Clan members watch in anger as the chaos continues. "Katse, I will take your life when I get the chance! I swear it!"

Casey and April are stand in the middle of the ruined street, watching many forces try to take out the scorpion mecha. "There has to be a way to stop this!" said April. "And where are the turtles? And the Science Ninja Team?" She then turns to look at Casey. "You don't think they could have…been…"

"I don't think so, April." said Casey. He then looks up in the sky. "But at least we're getting some more backup." he says, pointing at the God Phoenix.

April also looks up. "What kind of ship is that?" she asked. "I've never seen anything like it before!"

"Who cares?" asked Casey. "They're on our side, right?"

The God Phoenix approaches the scorpion mecha, flying over and then in front of it.

"What?" said an angry Katse. "The God Phoenix? I thought that ship was still in our world! Blast it! How did they get it!"

"I bet Katse isn't too happy to see us." said Ryu.

"Okay, so what do we do now?" asked Raph.

"We light that thing up with some Bird Missiles." said Joe. He quickly runs to pushes the red button that mssiles, destroying the mecha's tail.

"Joe, why did you shoot the Bird Missile without my permission!" said Ken.

"Because that's the only way we can beat this thing, Ken," said Joe. "Trust me!"

Joe continues to the push the button, sending more Bird Missiles at the mecha, destroying its limbs. Ken then runs to stop Joe before he destroys the main base where Katse is at.

"That's enough, Joe!" yells Ken. "If you destroy the base, you'll destroy Katse and we'll never find Galactor's headquarters!"

"So then what are you gonna do?" asked Mikey.

"I'm gonna bring this madman to justice with my own hands." said Ken.

"Oh boy, I'd love to see how you're gonna pull this off." said Joe, sarcastically.

Ken stands in the middle of the room. "Ryu, land us near the scorpion-mecha!"

"Got it!" said Ryu. The God Phoenix then fly near the mecha, in which Ken jumps out of the God Phoenix and on top of the main part of the mecha. As he's stands in front of the entrance, Galactor members open the door, opening fire at Ken. He avoids the bullets and disposes the members before he makes his way in.

While he's doing that, the Ninja Turtles are now prepared to get out of the ship. "I'm pretty sure you guys got it from here." said Leo. "It was nice working with you guys."

"You guys are leaving? But why?" asked Jinpei.

"Well there's nothing much else we can do." said Leo. "We've cleared up the confusion, caught Katse. I think it's about time we go our separate ways from here."

"Ah too bad." said Joe. "Well we appreciate the help anyways. Thanks."

"No problem, Joe." said Raph.

After the turtles get out of the ship, they all walk to the now empty street, not too far from where they left the Science Ninja Team. However, as they walk, they are being watched by a dark figure with glowing red eyes. The dark figure makes an evil laugh which catches the turtles' attentions.

"That laugh sounds too familiar." said Donnie.

"Yeah, largely because it belongs to a familiar person." said Leo.

"So then let's shut that laugh up!" said Raph, as he takes out his sais.

"Then you'll have to shut him up…again." said Mikey, as he points to the top of a building where the dark figure is standing.

"It's…the Shredder!" said Leo.

"Now how did he come back this time!" said Raph. "I'm really tired of him!"

"Yes, I have returned turtles! And this time, the results would be different!" said Shredder.
