Last chapter for... I don't know how long! I wish I could've give you a more accurate date but I can't... Oh well, at least you have this chapter before I go.
Before that though, I want to thank the guest known as "werewolf99" for reviewing every chapter so far in less than an hour, because I can't thank guests personally. Thanks, dude/gal, whatever you are! To quickly answer your questions. In Nick's version of TMNT, which is the version I'm covering in this story, it is known as TCRI. It is called TGRI in the second live-action movie, but I'm not going by those movies. I'm trying to make sure there are not many spelling/grammer mistakes, but in case something does slip my radar, you can tell me what the mistakes are so that I can fix them. And finally, the new TMNT indeed sucked. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was still REALLY bad in my opinion.
So, without further ado, the next chapter!
The fight for the freedom of the 3 universes has now begun. The group members that stuck together on the streets of New-York were ready to do their job. As the robots aimed their weapons at them, Sonic was the first to act.
The hedgehog, without giving anyone time to think, zoomed right through 3 robots; causing them to explode. "I'm going to circle around, see if I can stop some of them before reaching you." He told the others before signaling Tails to follow him, which the fox did.
Some of Eggman's robots were starting to gang up on the trio that was in that area. Rayman wasted no time, and sent 2 fists right at 2 of them. When a Kraang robot was approaching him, Rayman quickly kicked him in the stomach area, automatically neutralizing it and sending the alien brain that lay inside it flying far away. The limbless creature then used his momentum to spin quickly towards a robot pirate and cut its head off with his helicopter hair.
While Rayman was handling some robots with his close range combat moves, Ratchet and Jak were standing back to back with their weapons loaded and at the ready. "I'll take the left, you will take the right?" Ratchet asked.
"Fine by me." Jak replied before shrugging. "If they are too much for you, don't be afraid to ask for help."
Ratchet let out a giggle. "Same goes to you."
The 2 charged at the enemies without one more word.
Ratchet fired a few robots with his blaster, leaving holes in their operating system. Once, the blaster ran out of bullets, the lombax let out a weapon called "The Sonic Erupter"; which was basically a blue fish that's acting like a gun. Ratchet held the weird looking weapon aimed at the incoming robots, he waited for a few seconds until the fish's cheeks grew larger and then pressed the trigger. In a split second, the fish let out a large burp right at the robots that were coming for Ratchet. Since the sound of the outburst was so massive and so loud, it caused the group of robots to outright explode.
Rayman and Jak stopped fighting and quickly glanced at Ratchet after the shot. "What was that?" Rayman asked shocked, punching a robot pirate that came behind him.
"Just a weapon." Ratchet answered like it was no different than any other weapon.
Jak quickly released any further thoughts about the subject and continued to fight his share of enemies. He quickly loaded his gun with a blue ammo count and shout electricity at the robots attacking him, Krrang robots lost their brains while the other robots exploded from over powering. After the ammo count ended, Jack loaded in a yellow one inside his multi-use gun and fired a powerful shot at a line of robots, and it cut right through them. Once that ammo count ended, Jak loaded a red one in and ran straight through the incoming assault. When he got close enough, he jumped to the air while charging the weapon; when Jak landed back on the ground, he unleashed a powerful shot that shook the entire ground and eliminated almost all robots coming towards him.
While that was going on, Sonic was running through the streets with Tails flying right behind him. They were both looking for robots to take down, in order to help the others. "Sonic, straight ahead!" Tails shouted as he noticed a line of robots right in front of them.
The fox handed his hand for Sonic to grab on, which the hedgehog did. Tails proceeded to throw Sonic, now curled into a ball, at the robots; destroying them instantly. Once Sonic uncurled, he noticed few new robots that looked like robot lizards sticking on the buildings. "They sent Badnicks too? Seriously?" Sonic couldn't believe how repetitive Eggman was getting. Once he dismissed the thought, Sonic leaped into the air and homed in on the small robots. Once he reached the final one, the hedgehog used him as a spring, in order to jump into the air for Tails to catch.
"Got'ca!" Tails said as Sonic held unto his hands.
The pair noticed another wave of Badnicks, those were red and baring the looks of eagles. "They are sending more of these guys? Eggman and that duckling are really running out of ideas." Sonic commented.
"We are on them!" a scream, which was revealed to be Hiccup, was heard. Toothless cut through the sky in pursuit of the robots. Once the dragon was close to the group of flying robots, Merida took aim at one of them and shot an arrow at it, piercing it and taking it down. As Merida was taking down robots one at a time, Toothless was managing to take down a larger amount thanks to his plasma blast. Hiccup focused on controlling Toothless's tail fin, in order for the Night Fury to stay in the air and fight.
After that group of robots was down, the airborne trio noticed a few more of the same robots heading back towards the TCRI building, where Sly, Michelangelo, Clank and Daxter were about to go in. Hiccup was quick to act. "Merida, put your foot on those mechanisms." He told the princess as he was unhooking himself from the safety lines.
"Hiccup, whit are ye daing?" She asked, clearly not sure what he was planning to do.
He quickly turned to face her. "Meet me down by the entrance to the building." He told her before jumping off of Toothless, opening his gliders and heading towards the flying robots. The Viking quickly got his weapon in his hand and spread a green fog around the robots as he glided near them. Hiccup quickly ignited the fire and the gas exploded, destroying the robots as well.
Merida was trying her best to control Toothless. It was nothing like riding her own horse, probably due to the dragon's manually controlled tail fin. After a few miss attempts at making Toothless turn or change altitudes, she seemed to get the hang of controlling it, much to Toothless's well-being, and picked Hiccup up from where he landed.
"So, how was it?" Hiccup asked as he climbed up the dragon's back and readjusted the mechanism.
"Ye have ma appricatian fer making this laak esay." She replied with a nervous smile.
Meanwhile, the intruding group made it inside TCRI. Sly quickly noticed the elevator door in there and pointed at it. "Get your Kusarigma and help me with it." He told Michelangelo, who did as he was told and stuck the blade of it between the 2 doors; Sly doing the same with the sharp turn of his cane.
After a few seconds of trying, the door opened to reveal there was no elevator present. "Well, that sucks." Daxter commented.
"Mikey, think you can climb those ropes?" Sly asked.
"Like a turtle do!" He replied.
Sly proceeded to grab unto one of the ropes, holding the cane in his mouth, and started climbing up. Michelangelo joined right after, holding 2 ropes as he wasn't as light as the thief. Clank jumped out of Sly's back-pack and addressed Daxter. "Do you want me to fly you up?"
Daxter seemed surprised at the offer but wasn't going to let it pass. "Yeah, why not?" Clank grabbed the ottsel and soon enough, they were flying up and following their team mates.
"You are a lot lighter than Ratchet." Clank commented.
"Well, figures." Daxter said. "He has a massive body built and I'm scrawny enough to be considered that dragon's dinner." Clank let out a small chuckle at that comment.
Once, the group eventually made it to the top floor and struggled to open the elevator door, Sly pulled out his binocu-com and scanned the area. "There is a massive amount of energy reading coming from that room." He pointed in a direction.
"That's the portal room!" Michelangelo said before mentioning for the rest to follow him.
When they made it through the door, the sight looked familiar. It was no longer a room, but rather a floor surface surrounded by the outside air and view, as the walls have been broken and the windows were shattered since the invasion began. The portal was in the middle of it all, dark purple in color and protected by a force filed from being invaded.
"There's the console!" Daxter noticed as he and Clank made their way quickly towards it.
As they got to work on trying to reverse the effect of the portal, more robots showed up from inside the portal, and they weren't too happy about the sabotage in plan. "Um, guys? We've got company…" Michelangelo told them.
"It will take us some time." Clank told them. "Can you hold them back?"
"I'm on it!" Sly said as he got his cane ready, Michelangelo following suit with his Nun-Chucks.
Sly charged ahead with his cane being swung at the nearest robot. The rest trying shooting at him, but being a thief for a living made him an expert at dodging shots aimed at him. The raccoon jumped all around, rolled on the floor and took every chance he had at smacking his cane at an enemy.
Michelangelo was spinning both of his Nun-Chucks in preparation for attack. One robot fired at him, but he managed to duck under the shot and swiftly kick it to the ground. As he got back up, the turtle noticed two robots running towards him with an intention to harm him. He quickly got up and waved his weapons at them, hitting them hard and breaking them. Michelangelo transformed the Nun-Chucks into the Kusarigma chain and used it to tangle up the last few robots up; Sly then jumped above them and threw his exploding hat at them. Once the explosion went off and the area was cleared, it seemed Clank and Daxter made a break through.
"Press those buttons over there." Clank told Daxter who followed every command. "Now, break this part of the control panel and bring me the wires."
Daxter did as he was asked and as he handed the requested wires to Clank, the robot made a few tiny adjustments which resulted in an explosion. Clank managed to reverse the polarity, but the change in the power flow of the portal caused the rest of the TCRI building to blow up.
As parts of the building were falling to the ground, Hiccup noticed him, Toothless and Merida were in the pieces way. "We have to fly through." He said. "Merida, I advise you to hold on." He told Merida.
"An Ta whit?!" She asked, panicked.
"I don't know; something!" He told her. Merida didn't know what to hold on to, so she just wrapped her arms around Hiccup's waist. The teen was shocked by the touch of her arms around him, like it gave him motivation and power to go on with this. "Come on, bud. Let's do this!" He told his trusty dragon who let out a growl as if to say "You got it".
Toothless went in between 2 pieces of building before diving down to dodge another piece and as he went under it; he quickly went up and over a higher piece. The dragon proceeded to change his position to avoid 2 fallen windows and then spun around like a drill as he made it through 2 broken walls coming down at them. Hiccup maneuvered Toothless left and right, avoiding more and more bricks of walls that came at them, until they eventually made it out of harm's way.
Toothless let out a roar of victory while Hiccup signed in relief. Merida was also happy that they managed to pass the threat of the blown up building without getting hurt; in fact, she was so happy she didn't even noticed her arms were still around Hiccup. "Um, Merida?" He asked her and she turned to face him. "You can let go now, you know." He said, his cheeks getting a little red.
Merida's look was quickly turned towards her hands to see them still around Hiccup's waist. "Ah, uh… Sarry." She said as she quickly pulled her arms away, her cheeks flushing a bit as well. She really started to warm up to Hiccup during this entire journey.
"It's okay…" He replied, happy that despite their tribes' rivalry, they managed to work well together and actually become great friends… or more? His thoughts about the subject were soon cut short, when he heard a scream from not too far away. Hiccup and Merida noticed Sly gliding down to the ground with a paraglide, holding Clank and Daxter in his arms, but Michelangelo was falling fast towards the streets with no way of slowing down his decent. "Toothless, get Mikey." Hiccup told his dragon who quickly dived in the direction of the turtle.
A minute before Michelangelo made contact with the ground; Toothless caught his arms and stopped his fall. The turtle looked up to see Toothless grinning at him, no visible teeth in his mouth. Hiccup and Merida joined to look at him. "Are ye akay?" Merida asked.
"This is the craziest thing I have ever done!" He screamed in reply, a combination of panic and excitement in his voice.
The full group re-assembled where the TCRI building once stood. The only part of it remaining was the portal floating in the sky. Only this time, it was possible to go through it and face Eggman and Razorbeard.
"Everyone stay here." Sonic said, causing everyone to look at him. "Toothless needs rest, making Tails the only one capable of reaching the portal. And if he is going, I'm going as well." He explained.
"No." Rayman spoke up, changing the focus of attention from Sonic to him. "I can get there as well. Plus, Razorbeard is my enemy. I will stop him for what he has done." He added.
Sonic thought for a second before turning to Tails. "Rayman and I will go up there; I'm counting on you to lead the team, if needed, once we leave." Tails didn't know what to say, he just managed a small nod at his best friend. "I'm counting on you, buddy." The hedgehog said as he turned to the rest of the group. "We will be back soon." He told them with full confidence that he and Rayman will pull through, and all of them nodded.
"Let's go." Rayman said as he activated his helicopter hair, grabbed Sonic by his hands and flew both of them to the portal. Once they reached it, they went in.
Sonic and Rayman ended up in a black void, which they were able to stand in. Standing before them were Eggman and Razorbeard, panicked and angry about the 2 heroes making it into their hideout.
"Leave the robot to me." Rayman said.
"Then I'm going for the egg." Sonic stretched a bit as he said it before both charged at their enemies.
Sorry for the mean cliffhanger, I didn't plan for this chapter to be uploaded before an I-don't-know-how-long break.
Either way, hope you guys enjoyed and please review if you have something to say!
