NMNT Season 3 Chapter 3: Space Invaders Part 1: Triceraton Wars
-Outer Space-
For the last couple of weeks, the inhabitants of Earth had lived in relative peace. Oh sure there was the occasional minor conflict between two nations, but it would always resolve itself in no time. However, nothing could have prepared the people of Earth for what was about to happen as a fleet of Triceraton space ship fighters, mother ships and the Triceraton home world traveled closer and closer to the blue and green planet.
-The Triceraton High Council-
Prime Leader Zanramon had sat in his place at the triangle shaped table as began to talk to the high council.
"We have fought long and hard in the war against our hated enemies: The Federation," he said, "Precious Triceraton blood has been spilt, our glorious home world damaged in battle; but through our bravery and strength of arms, we forced the mighty Federation to retreat. Very soon we shall strike at them with force and bathe ourselves in the sweet nectar of victory."
"Victory, victory, victory!" exclaimed the high council.
"Our path to triumph is clear," Zanramon continued, "we must recapture the Fugitoid who holds in his circuitry the mind of Professor Honeycutt. His Tele-portal device will provide us the means of crushing the Federation and rule the universe once and for all!"
The high council cheered loudly.
"The Fugitoid and his allies had used the Tele-portal device to escape us last time," Zanramon continued, "But we've tracked the Tele-Portal's trans-ionic trail to the farthest corner of the T-17 galaxy to an insignificant watery, green and blue planet called Earth. Even if we must tear that pitiful world apart piece by piece, the Fugitoid will be ours. Begin the countdown to victory!"
And the screen behind him showed a timer that counted down from 12:00:00.
"Victory, victory,victory!" the high council exclaimed.
-The Lair-
Michelangelo and Donatello were busy playing a video game called Space Destructor while Naruto sat and watched them.
"I play winner," he said.
"Sure," said the two turtles as their eyes were glued to the screen. Currently, the game showed that Mikey was in the lead.
"Damn it, I just blew up," said Don.
"First rule of playing Space Destructor Don boy: never go up against me for I am the space-inator," Mikey said in a bad Terminator accent before switching to his normal voice, "resistance is futile!"
But just as Mikey destroyed another space-craft, the power to the lair went out.
"No!" Mikey complained in anguish, "not another goddamn black-out."
"Relax," said Don, "it's not the end of the world."
-Outer Space-
At that very moment, the Triceratons finally arrived near Earth.
The Triceraton homeworld then deployed hundreds of Triceraton Motherships, who carefully organized themselves into surrounding the Earth in a pyramid pattern. The Motherships then all fired cackling and connective orange beams of energy amongst each other which effectively covered the Earth in a force field.
-Triceraton Homeworld: Command Center-
General Mozar looked at the completed force field before turning to Prime Leader Zanramon to give a situation report.
"The shield is in place Prime Leader and impenetrable to anything but our space craft," he said, "the Fugitoid cannot escape."
"Begin the invasion," Zanramon commanded.
"To victory," said Mozar.
Soon every available space fighter was launched and they flew into the planet's atmosphere.
-A United States Military Base: Central Command, New York, Sun Set-
A US radar monitor watched in curiosity and slight worry as he called over his superior.
"Um sir, we have a problem," he said. His superior, who was a US General, walked over to the radar monitor and asked, "What's the matter."
"We have multiple bogies, spacecraft sir," the radar monitor answered as he became more and more nervous while his tone reflected it, "We're-we're-we're under attack from...outer space!"
"Aliens?! You gotta be goddamn kidding me!" the general exclaimed as he picked up a red emergency alert phone and shouted, "Emergency, we're going to Defcon 4!" Red lights immediately flashed and alarms blared loudly. Very quickly, all fighter jets were scrambled as they encountered the Triceraton space fighters. The fighter jets fired air-to-air missiles, but they were ineffective against the advanced Triceraton energy shields. The Triceratons then fired their lasers and took down the fighter jets one after the other.
Meanwhile up in space, a couple of Triceraton Motherships decided to fire their multiple continuous laser beams which created waves upon waves of explosions on another US military base. But it wasn't just the US military bases they destroyed; they also destroyed military bases all over the world. France, England, Japan, China, Australia, you name the country, they destroyed their military bases.
Back in the central command base in New York, the general was on the phone with the US president.
"Yes Mr. President we have suffered severe losses, but we have combat ready troops and our boys at Campbell are going to send up everything we-."
"Sir," the radar monitor interrupted, "Campbell, it's been destroyed!" Then more alerts started to pop up on the monitor. "Europe, Asia, Africa; nearly every military base worldwide!"
-Triceraton Homeworld: Command Center-
"Prime Leader," said Mozar, "the resistance these worms offered was fierce but ineffective."
"Fine, and where is the Fugitoid Commander Mozar?" Zanramon asked.
"We haven't found him yet sir, but we will," Mozar answered, "the hunt has begun!"
-New York City, Sun Set-
Citizens ran everywhere in fear as Triceraton soldiers invaded the airways on small sled ships and jetpacks while others marched down the streets like Hitler's Stormtroopers (yes they were really called that, Star Wars did not invent the word.) But evidently the purpose was to find something connected to Professor Honeycutt as the several Triceratons held scanning devices in their hands.
"There's one," said a commanding Triceraton to a soldier as he pointed to a human male, "set for stun." The soldier then fired a stunning laser at the man, which instantly knocked him unconscious. The Triceratons did this with several more humans as they began to round certain ones up like cattle. It was a truly terrifying sight to see as people who lived in the apartments hid away from the windows and turned their lights off in hopes they would not be noticed.
-The 2nd Time Around: April's Apartment-
April (who was wearing tan pants and the purple tank-top that exposed her midriff) busily punched, kicked, jabbed and roundhouse-kicked a punching bag in a very vigorous and rigorous manner with determination etched in her face. Just then a news report came on the television that was on behind her.
"This is the emergency broadcast system," said the woman news anchor (April stopped what she was doing and listened while wiping the sweat from her brow), "we interrupt this program to bring you critical information. Today the unthinkable has happened; Earth no longer need question if there is life on other planets."
-Casey Jones' Apartment-
Casey was watching the same news broadcast as he got up from his chair and looked out the window.
"It is here, and we are in the full grip of an alien invasion. Is there any way to defend ourselves from this assault from the stars, or is this the end of the human race?"
-The Lair-
The five brothers and Splinter sat in the entertainment center as they watched the same news broadcast.
"This was the scene just moments ago in Times Square. Reports are coming in from all over the world: we are being invaded by some extraterrestrial force."
Amateur footage from cell phone cameras were then shown from places like Paris, London and Tokyo and all of them depicted people fleeing in terror.
"My sons," said Splinter (who was sitting on the couch while the brothers stood behind him), "it is very important for you all to stay in the lair until-." But he never finished his command because as he looked behind himself, he saw that they had already left. Splinter just sighed in exasperation and slight worry.
-New York City, Sun Set-
The five brothers stood on top of a water tower while they contemplated the situation.
"No doubt about it, they're Triceratons," said Leonardo.
"Goddamn I hate those guys," Raphael muttered angrily, "We gotta do somethin'."
"But what can we do against an entire invasion?" Naruto asked in a hopeless tone.
"It's the end of the world as we know it," said Don.
"And I don't feel fine," said Mikey (making a small reference to R.E.M.'s song "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine...)"). They then all leapt down in a dark alley full of shadows.
"I don't get it; with all the planets in the galaxies, why here, why Earth?" said Don.
"Maybe they're looking for something," said Naruto.
"Or maybe Zanramon is still pissed that we trashed his personal space cruiser," Raph chuckled, "It was a pretty damn fine ride."
"I don't think this is about us, we're not that important of a reason to travel halfway cross the galaxy for," said Leo.
"Hey speak for yourself," said Mikey with a gloating tone, "I'm considered a pretty bad-ass hombre anywhere in the galaxy; remember, I am the Battle Nexus Champion."
Raph just smacked Mikey upside the head. Suddenly a voice echoed in the alley.
"Team 3, search the Northern Quadrant. Team 2, you're with me," said a Triceraton Commamder.
The brothers then quickly hid themselves as a Triceraton on a small sled ship began to inspect the alley they were in. But before he put one foot in, the Triceraton Commander said, "Look, there is a high concentration of Trans-Ionic particles coming from inside that structure. Let's check it out instead." The commander then looked at the Triceraton soldier who was about to inspect the alley and said, "You, keep searching the area."
"Yes sir," said the soldier and he continued his rounds While the Commander and the other soldiers all headed towards an apartment building. The Commander then took his sled ship up to a specific floor, fired a laser beam and made a hole in an old woman's apartment. The old woman screamed in terror. The Commander took no notice as the soldier that was with him on the sled ship forcibly grabbed the old woman and carried her over his soldier.
"We may not be able to save the world," said Leo as he and the others watched what had transpired, "but we can sure as shell save that old lady, come on!"
They then quickly leapt up to the rooftops and began hopping across them as thy desperately tried to catch up to the Triceratons as they carried the old lady away. Don was the first to leap out and land on the sled ship as he took out his Bo Staff and swung it around aggressively. Both the Commander and the soldier, who had put down the old woman, prepared to attack. But before they could, Don leapt off the sled ship, which gave Leo the element of surprise as he leapt in, nabbed the old lady and leapt back to the ground. The Triceraton commander then turned the sled ship around and prepared to fire his laser gun. However, Naruto then leapt in and leg-swept them off their feet while Mikey and Raph leapt in to throw them aside.
"It's not nice to invade Mr. Raphie's Neighborhood," said Raph (making a pun on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood). Mikey then went over to the controls.
"Yo guys," he said, beckoning them over, "looks like their friends are comin' back!" Raph and Naruto looked ahead and saw another sled ship carrying three Triceratons. The aliens then opened fire with their laser guns as Mikey took over the controls and made the sled ship go as fast as it could on a collision course. Milliseconds before they made impact, the heroes leapt off the flying vehicle and onto a roof top as an explosion happened behind them.
"Alright!" the three bothers happily exclaimed as they all high-fived each other.
-Two Minutes Later-
In an alley, Leo had set down the old lady and propped her up against a wall. The five brothers stood in front of her as she groaned a bit and opened her eyes.
"Auuuuugggghhhh, MONSTERS!" she screamed.
"Listen lady, we ain't gonna hurt ya," Raph started to protest, but then the old lady pulled out a machine gun (from hammer space).
"One twitch and you're history scum," she threatened. Naruto moved quickly and gave her a nerve pinch, making her faint.
"I think she means to say 'Thank you'," he said.
"What I'm wondering is why the Triceratons are rounding up civilians?" Leo asked as they saw Triceraton soldiers take more people away on sled ships.
"Don't look at me," Raph replied as he gestured to Don who was tinkering with Triceraton tracking equipment, "why don't we ask the answer man."
"Well," Don explained, "it looks like the Triceratons are rounding up certain civilians." He then got the tracking device to work as his eyes widened in surprise while saying, "Whoa; seems like whatever the Triceratons are scanning for, we're full of it."
Raph chuckled a bit and said, "No big news there, Mikey's always been full of shit."
"Hey," Mikey complained.
Naruto then took a closer look at the screen the tracking device showed.
"Don," he started to ask, "Which direction is this thing pointing in?"
-The 2nd Time Around-
Two Triceratons on a sled ship stood outside April's shop. One then checked the tracking device to make sure that they were going in the right direction.
"There," he said, "the Trans-Ionic particle reading is strongest there; let's move."
Inside the store, Casey was talking to April.
"I'm tellin' ya April, it's crazy out there," he said as he pulled out a bike helmet, "Now I made a promise to Naruto that if shit ever got really heavy again like in the gang wars and he's too busy trying to make everything right, then I'm supposed to get you outta here and away from the city."
"Look Casey," April started to protest, "as much as I love that he cares about me and while it is a nice gesture, I can take care of-."
Suddenly there was an explosion outside the store as the Triceratons fired their laser guns. Then there was another explosion as the glass shattered and store wall debris flew everywhere as the Triceratons blasted away an entire section of the store's walls.
"Um, o-okay let's go," April said in a shaky panicky voice as she took the bike helmet from Casey while he put on his own. They then ran out through the store's back door and hopped onto Casey's motorcycle. Casey then fired up the engine and sped out of the alley and away from the store, with the Triceratons in hot pursuit.
As Casey made the motorcycle go faster and faster, April shouted out, "Casey, remember how I yelled at you for going so fast in the T.C.R.I building?"
"What about it?" Casey answered back.
"GO FASTER!" April shouted.
Casey then revved the motor and sped away even faster than before, but unfortunately the Triceraton's sled ship was faster still. The two Ticeratons then opened fire with their laser guns while Casey swayed and swerved left and right to dodge the blasts.
"Casey, look out!" April shouted as she noticed a huge pile-up consisting of many cars. Casey noticed this as well, but he also noticed that a car was set up like a ramp. He then revved the engine again as he made the motorcycle go as fast as it could.
"Hang on April!" he shouted as he made the leap over the pile-up. "WAHOOOOOOOO!" he shouted in excitement while April just screamed in terror. They then made a slightly bumpy landing as they continued to speed away from the Triceratons on the sled ship. However, the two did not expect two Triceratons on jet packs to fly in and start firing their lasers. One blast managed to hit the motor-cycle's front tire and pop it. Casey then lost all control as he and April were forcefully ejected from the vehicle. They landed on the ground (on their stomachs) hard, grunting in pain as they did. The Triceratons then surrounded them.
-The United Nations Building-
Many world nation representatives debated on how to handle the invasion.
"Quiet everyone please, we must try to reason with these extraterrestrials," said a Kenyan representative.
"We must ask them what they want, perhaps they mistook us for aggressors after we launched our fighter jets," a Japanese representative suggested.
Just then Zanramon appeared on the huge screen built in the building.
"Inhabitants of the planet, you are now under my control and my command," he began, "I am Zanramon, Prime Leader of the great and glorious Triceraton Republic. Here are our demands: you will immediately surrender to us the Fugitoid." And he showed them a picture of the professor in his robot body. "If you don't then prepare to face annihilation," he said, "if you give up the Fugitoid, then we will spare your pathetic lives; deny us, and you will all die a most horrific death."
-New York City, Times Square-
The five brothers were watching the same broadcast on the enormous screen built into a building.
"You have Ten Quargons to comply," Zanramon finished before his transmission was cut.
"I knew they were looking for something," said Naruto.
"But is it that big of a surprise? They're looking for Professor Honeycutt," said Leo.
"The term 'Damn, wrong planet' comes to mind," said Mikey.
"Yeah," Raph agreed, "Professor Egghead ain't on Earth anymore."
"Judging from the tracking device they're using, the Triceratons followed the Trans-Ionic residue of the Tele-Portal that the Utroms used to get us home thinking it was the Professor's Tele-Portal," said Don.
"But Professor Honeycutt's Tele-Portal never worked," said Naruto.
"Yeah," Mikey agreed, "we built it and it was a dud."
"So let me get this straight: the Tricera-shitheads are after someone who ain't even here cuz' they want an invention of his that don't even work?" Raph asked.
"That about sums it up," said Leo.
Just then Naruto's Shell Cell rang.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Naruto, guys it's me, April. Casey and I are in a tight spot."
"April, what's happening?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know, we're being held by these aliens; in fact, they have a bunch of us here in Central Park and.-"
But before she could explain more, there was a rustling noise and a loud crunch before everything went static.
"Hello? April!" Naruto called out in vain, but there was no answer. He then pocketed his Shell Cell and told the others, "Guys this isn't good, they got Casey and April and they're being taken to Central Park."
"Well then why are we sittin' here twidilin' our shells, let's move!" Raph declared as he took out his Sais. They all wordlessly agreed with him as they all ran towards Central Park.
-Central Park-
The Triceratons rounded up everyone like cattle until they were all in a collective group. Casey and April were last in this long walk as a Triceraton soldier forcefully pushed Casey forward with the intent of making him move faster.
However, the vigilante became aggressive and angrily exclaimed, "Quit pushin' you ugly son of a bitch or I'll-."
The soldier just punched him in the abdomen and sent him flying a few feet.
"You will do as you are told weakling," said the soldier as April ran to Casey's side to ensure they wouldn't be separated.
Just then, three Triceratons driving a sled ship hovered above the fairly large group of people. They lingered thirty feet above their heads as they created a force field just like the Triceraton Motherships and trapped them with the intent of not letting them escape. Casey picked up a stick, threw it to a wall of the force field and saw it immediately disintegrate.
Meanwhile, a distance away from the force field, two men wearing black suits with white under shirts, a black tie and dark sunglasses observed the situation.
"Outpost 348 reporting in, no sign of the turtles or the blond whiskered human," said one as he listened to the reply, "no I agree sir, at this point if the Earthlings are in the Triceraton's clutches, they won't be alive for much longer."
Meanwhile from afar, the brothers were also observing the situation.
"Casey and April must be in there somewhere," said Don.
"Nice, a portable Alcatraz, now everbody's gonna want one," said Mikey.
"Let's get ready to kick some ass," said Raph.
"Hold it Raph," said Leo, "we're way outnumbered, we need to use our heads."
"Guess that leaves Mikey out," said Naruto.
"Y'know," Mikey began, "if all those people were set free at once, there'd be a lot of confusion."
"I take it back," said Naruto.
"Mikey had a good idea?" Raph asked, clearly impressed.
"Mikey had a good idea," said Leo. He then turned his attention to Don and asked, "Donny, how do we get the cage down?"
"Well," Don explained, "it appears that the force field is triangulated by those three sled ships."
"Which means if we knock one down, the whole thing will collapse," said Naruto.
"Precisely," said Don.
Leo then quickly formulated a plan. "Mikey, Raph, you'll be with me to create the diversion while Don and Naruto, you two concentrate on getting the force field down," he said, "Let's move."
-Triceraton Homeworld: Command Center-
"Commander Mozar, I grow impatient," Zanramon said with warning in his tone, "every moment we delay on getting our hands on the Fugitoid is a moment which could cost us dearly. We need the Fugitoid!"
"I understand prime leader but the Earthlings continue to deny knowledge of the Fugitoid whatsoever," said Mozar.
"They are lying!" said Zanramon, "We traced the Fugitoid to this planet, he HAS to be here!"
"Our contingency plan is already in motion," said Mozar, "our warriors have rounded up any and all Earth creatures bearing a Trans-Ionic residue. This means these Earth creatures were in close proximity to the Fugitoid when he teleported to this planet. One of them is certain to have knowledge of him; they will share this knowledge willingly or else we will scan their brains and take what we need. Either way, the Fugitoid will be ours soon enough."
"Yes, excellent," said Zanramon, "have the captives brought up at once."
-Central Park-
A Triceraton carrier vessel landed next to the force field (or rather half of it was inside the force field). Its doors opened and some Triceraton soldiers walked out and brandished laser guns.
"Alright," said the apparent commander, "we've got our orders." They then began to surround the captive people and corral them to the ship. Some people tried to flee in vain bit it was no use. In all the partial confusion, April and Casey stuck together.
"I still think we gotta be bustin' ourselves out of here," Casey whispered.
"I agree Casey, but how?" April asked in whisper.
"I don't know, but I aim to keep my promise to Naruto," Casey replied as he led April away from the hysteria that was brewing.
But unfortunately they were spotted by a Triceraton soldier as he grabbed April by her arm. She screamed in fearful protest.
"Take your damn hands off of her!" Casey exclaimed as he leapt onto the Triceraton in hopes of over powering him. However, while he did get in a couple of good punches to the alien's face, his intended desire did not happen for he was thrown aside by the Triceraton.
"Casey!" April cried as she struggled to free herself, "Let me go!"
Outside the force field, near the enemy camp, Mikey, Raph and Leo prepared to make their move. They moved in the shadows and hid behind a nearby rock.
"Anyone got an idea?"" Leo asked.
"I got one," Raph replied as he took out his Sais and prepared to leap out, however, he was stopped by Mikey's outstretched arm.
"Wait," said Mikey, "I got an even better idea."
He then grabbed a laser rifle that was lying around and repeatedly pressed a big red button. Eventually, the laser gun started to beep rapidly.
"Check it out," said Mikey as he chucked the gun as near to the enemy camp as he could, "laser on overload."
"Time to go," said Leo as he, Raph and Mikey ran away from the impending explosion.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM*
Alarms then started to blare and echo all over as the Triceratons ran to investigate the area.
At the same time, Naruto and Don got close enough to the force field without being seen.
As they hid behind a rock and heard the alarms, Naruto turned to Don and said, "Mikey."
"Definitely Mikey," agreed Don.
"Now let's open that cage," said Naruto as Don nodded while they both leapt out of their hiding place. They then leapt in the air to commandeer a low flying sled ship. As they leapt onto the hovering vehicle, Don punched the living daylights out of the Triceraton steering the sled ship.
"You're up," he said. Naruto then nodded as he formed a Rasengan in his palm, leapt in the air and utterly destroyed a sled ship keeping the force field active. The force field immediately dropped and the two brothers leapt down and ran towards the hostages.
"Naruto!" April cried out as she was corralled into the carrier vessel.
"April!" Naruto shouted back as he quickly threw some kunai knives into the back legs of the Triceraton soldiers and protectively stood in front of April. But as the Triceratons that Naruto attacked prepared to retaliate, Don leapt in and knocked them around with his Bo Staff as well as knocking their laser guns away. He then picked two up and gave one to Naruto.
"Now let's see what happens when you try to get up again," said Don as he and Naruto pointed their weapons at the Triceraton soldiers. The soldiers just groaned as they pulled out the kunai knives embedded in their back leg and stood up with their hands in the air.
"Oh I can't thank you enough," April said in gratitude as she kissed Naruto on the cheek.
Naruto blushed slightly as he replied, "Don't thank me, Don and Casey helped."
"Guys, as much as I do like the fact that you're both much more open about expressing your feelings at this point in your relationship, we have to get these people out of here and fast," said Don.
"You heard the turtle, let's move!" April shouted to the other people on the space craft. The people unanimously agreed as they ran out like they had never ran before.
Before Naruto and Don could think what to do next, they were both stunned from behind. They groaned in pain as they dropped their weapons. Two Triceratons then stepped out.
"These are two of the creatures that were with the Fugitoid; let's seize them and go," said a soldier. And the two Triceratons each carried a body inside the Carrier vessel.
"Naruto, Don, NOOOOOO!" April cried.
The doors then closed and the vessel blasted off into space.
Meanwhile, Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo were all busy holding back the Triceraton soldiers that were trying to recapture the hostages.
"Do not let the prisoners escape!" one shouted.
"No, capture the other three creatures that were with the Fugitoid," said another as he and all of his other fellow Triceratons fired their weapons.
Raph then leapt in and stabbed a laser gun with one of his Sais, making it explode in the Triceraton's hands.
Mikey leapt in and knocked away the laser gun his opponent was brandishing with a fast kick to the Triceraton's hands before taking a rather stout and cylindrical object from the front pocket.
"Hey, do these work like Earth grenades?" he asked as he pulled the pin and handed the explosive back to the alien before running away for the nearest cover and avoiding the ensuing explosion.
Meanwhile, Casey (who had gotten up as soon as the carrier vessel was taking off) went over to a stash of several supply crates that held laser guns and handed them out to every hostage.
"Point this at an alien and pull the trigger," he said, "is it really that hard to understand?!"
The hostages then opened fire, which made the Triceratons realize how outgunned they were.
"We're out numbered, fall back and send for reinforcements!" a commander shouted and his solders obeyed.
The hostages then stopped firing and cheered a bit.
"Good work Casey," said Leo as he, Raph and Mikey joined him.
"Have you guys seen April?" Casey asked.
"Umm, wasn't she with you?" Mikey asked.
"Hey look, there she is," Raph pointed out as the others looked in his direction and saw April running towards them.
"Guys!" she exclaimed as she joined them, "They got Naruto and Don; they're on that ship!" And she pointed out the carrier vessel which was still visible even though it was far away from Central Park.
"Oh no," said Mikey.
"Let's be worried later, right now we need a ship," said Leo.
"We'll go with you," said April as she grabbed a laser gun.
"No," said Leo as he issued his orders, "the Triceratons will be coming back for these people, so you two have to at least get them out of the park."
"Whatever you say Leo, we'll leave the rescuin' to you three," said Casey. And the three turtles went off to rescue their brothers. Casey and April then faced the crowd of hostages.
"Alright people listen up!" Casey commanded, "No actin' like a stupid crowd in an invasion movie, they're the ones who always die first." He then pointed to a sandy blond-haired man wearing a light blue polo shirt and some jeans and said, "It'll probably be you; it's like you have a sign on your back that says 'Vaporize Me!'." The people then backed away from the sandy blond-haired man.
April then slugged Casey on his arm and said, "Casey, you're not helping."
"Just ignore him everybody and let's just go," April commanded and the crowd dispersed.
"Good luck guys," she muttered to herself, "and Naruto, come back safe."
-The United Nations Building-
Zanramon's face appeared on the giant screen again.
"People of Earth, you have delayed too long in handing over the Fugitoid, your time is up," he said, "Now witness the consequences of you actions."
And the transmission was cut as a US General looked at a radar screen and said, "An alien asteroid craft has just entered the airspace over Beijing! And there's not a damn thing we can do to stop them."
Just then, on a digital global map, the city of Beijing started to flash red.
-Beijing, China-
The lone Triceraton Mothership hovered over the city for a bit before firing it's lasers and making them circle around/cut the city limits. Panic filled the city as people tried to flee, but they couldn't decide wether to flee the actual city or to flee inside the city. Those who stayed in the city received another surprise as the lasers stopped firing in the form of a transparent dome, which was fired from a device the mothership dropped, as it sealed off the city from the outside world. The device then ripped the entire city from the ground and into outer space where it stayed.
-The United Nations Building-
Zanramon then reappeared on the giant screen.
"Do not delay any longer or else we will rip apart your world piece by piece, until nothing remains," he said with an evil grin, "Surrender the Fugitoid or perish!"
His transmission then ended, leaving the world representatives gasping in horror.
-Central Park-
A Triceraton space fighter flew low over the trees.
Inside the ship, the gunman heard an alarm.
"We have a Trans-Ionic particle alert," he announced, "the readings are off the charts, it has to be one of the green Earth creatures." He then turned a camera on and spotted Raph, who spotted them and started to run away. The gunman then fired several lasers, making the ninja turtle fly forward from the resulting exploding shockwaves. The pilot landed the space craft and he and the gunman stepped out and armed themselves with laser guns.
The pilot then poked the turtle with his gun and remarked, "This is one of the mighty warriors that defeated Monza Ram and the Triceraton All-Stars? Ha, I'm shaking with fear."
Raph then quickly and swiftly got up while knocking both their weapons away and saying, "You should be." Then he kicked the pilot into a tree.
But before the gunman could retaliate, Mikey leapt down from a tree, swung his Nun-Chuck and cracked the gunman's helmet, making the sulfur and nitrogen gases hiss.
The pilot then got up and pulled out a laser handgun, but Raph quickly picked up a tossed aside laser gun and blasted away the hand gun.
Meanwhile, the gunman walked over to a lamp post to try and repair his mask but was interrupted by the arrival of Leo.
"Looks like you're having a bad day," he said as he took out his Katanas, "want to talk about it?"
The Triceraton growled as he ripped up the lamp post and swung it at Leo. Leo, however, leapt out of the way and double-kicked the alien square in the chest, sending him crashing through two trees before he slumped his body at a third tree. Leo then put away his Katanas, picked up a laser gun and joined Raph in pointing them at the pilot.
"Go ahead, make my day," said Raph (making a reference to Dirty Harry). The Triceraton surrendered and they all walked to the ship. Once inside with the doors closed, Leo handed his gun over to Mikey while he looked in the utility closet and found three atmosphere converters.
He then put the tube in his mouth, activated the device, handed them to Raph and Mikey and said, "Here take these, we're gonna need them."
Raph and Mikey nodded and put them on.
"Alright now, get this piece of crap in the air," Raph angrily demanded the pilot, "you're gonna help us rescue out brothers."
"I refuse to pilot this craft, I will not collaborate with the enemy," said the Triceraton.
"Okay," said Leo, "Mikey, why don't you try to fly it? It can't be any harder than Space Destructors."
Mikey then gleefully took the controls.
"This is seriously wicked!" he exclaimed happily, "I get to fly my own space fighter!"
"Umm Leo, are you sure this is a good idea?" Raph muttered.
"Good might not be exactly the right word," Leo replied.
Mikey then looked at the controls and the control console.
"Hmm," he wondered as he hovered over a shiny red button, "This one looks important."
"No!" shouted the Tricraton, "Don't touch that!"
Mikey did so anyway with the result being that the engines fired up to their maximum power while thrusting forward very fast and very high. Mikey then managed to partially stabilize the ship as he flew it without a care in the world (as evident by his grinning face). Unfortunately for the rest of the passengers, this was met with careless flying into and hitting/partially destroying several buildings.
"Mikey, pull up, PULL UP!" Raph shouted as they were headed for a collision course with the Empire State Building.
"Sorry," said Mikey as he pulled back on the controls and pitched the nose of the space fighter, making the ship parallel to the building.
"Give me the controls you idiot!" the Triceraton shouted as he yanked the controls from Mikey's hands and better stabilized the ship.
"Now pilot this ship or we'll let Mikey here fly it again," said Leo.
"No, NO! I'll fly it," the Triceraton protested. And he flew it higher into the skies above the city of New York.
-Tricraton Homeworld: The Throne Room-
Zanramon and Mozar waited patiently ad two Triceraton soldiers brought in Naruto and Donatello, who were each wearing an atmosphere converter, and stopped at the foot of Zanramon's chair. Don couldn't help but be impressed by the two giant stone statues of Triceraton Gladiators.
"Whoa," he whispered.
"Now is not the time to be impressed Donny," Naruto whispered.
"All hail Prime Leader Zanramon," said a soldier as they both bowed down while Zanramon stood up from his chair.
"Kneel before our great leader," the second soldier commanded.
"Never," said the two brothers. The Triceraton soldiers just hit their backs so they were forced to kneel.
Zanramon just seethed in anger as he pointed an accusatory finger at them while exclaiming, "You!"
The two brothers looked at each other before looking up at Zanramon and gesturing to themselves while saying at the same time, "Me?"
"Finally I can make you both pay for your past crimes: helping the Fugitoid escape, abusing my roayal personage by holding me hostage, disgracing our honored warriors the Triceratron All-Stars and-and-and, YOU STOLE MY PERSONAL SPACE CRUISER!" Zanramon shouted in an angry accusing manner.
"Did we do all that?" Don asked Naruto.
"We always were over achievers," Naruto answered.
"Silence!" Zanramon shouted, "Tell me where the Fugitoid is and I may make your deaths a little less painful. Tell me! Where! Is! That! Robot?!"
"We! Don't! Know!" the two brothers said altogether.
"You dare to defy me?!" Zanramon demanded to know.
"No we aren't," said Naruto.
"The truth is the Fugitoid isn't on Earth anymore," said Don, "He's gone, long gone."
"No more lies!" Zanramon angrily exclaimed as he picked them both up by their necks, "we KNOW the Fugitoid is here, tell us where he is or you will die!"
-The Skies Above New York City-
Inside the ship, the Triceraton pilot carefully snuck his finger underneath the control console and pushed a small red button, which flashed but made no noise.
Some distances behind them, three Triceraton space fighters quickly accelerated to the location of the space fighter the turtles were commandeering.
Just then, over the speakers, a line of communication was opened.
"Attention Fighter 29-B, we've received your call for assistance. What is the nature of your emergency?"
"Emergency? What emergency?" Raph asked.
Leo then looked for a clue everywhere on the control console before looking underneath and saw the red flashing button.
"What the hell did you do?" Leo demanded to know.
"You are trapped," said the pilot, "Surrender, you have no choice."
"Respond 29-B."
The turtles looked amongst each other, unsure of what to do next.
Mikey then grabbed what appeared to be a microphone and said (while making throat noises to imitate static), "*Static* Umm, *static* not reading you *static* need repairs *static* must return to homeworld."
"What kind of repairs?"
"There's a big hole in the...in the...space engine thingy, but we're okay it's not that bad," Mikey responded.
"Why do we let him talk?" Raph muttered.
The pilot then grabbed the microphone and said, "This is the pilot, I'm being held hostage. Destroy the ship, DESTROY THE SHIP!"
Raph then grabbed the microphone and smashed it.
"Attention all fighters: Fighter 29-B has gone rouge! Terminate with extreme prejudice!"
"You crazy horn-head, you're gonna be blown to pieces too!" Raph exclaimed.
"I would rather be killed by my own people then collaborate with the enemy," said the Triceraton.
"Umm, guys," Mikey said as he looked out a window, "that killed by his own people part, he's about to get his wish!"
Outside the three Triceraton space fighters started to fire their lasers, blasting away bit by bit while making the ship shake.
"I am prepared to die in the name of the great horned god of the Vastala Nebula," said the Triceraton.
"What you're saying is very commendable," Mikey started to say as he yanked the controls back and kicked the pilot off of his chair, "But outta my way!"
Raph then noticed the ships' rear laser gun and its control panel.
He grinned as got in the seat, took the controls and said, "Man I don't know which is worse, Mikey's flyin' or bein' shot at."
He then fired several lasers and retaliated against the aggressive Triceraton space fighters, taking them down one by one in a very quick and precise manner.
"Hell yeah!" he exclaimed happily.
-The United Nations Building-
Zanramon appeared on the giant screen again and held up Naruto and Don.
"Do you see? We have proof that you're lying! We captured this terrapin creature and this whiskered human on your planet, two creatures whom I last encountered on the far side of the galaxy assisting the Fugitoid in his escape from the Triceraton Authorities. Their presence on your planet is proof that the Fugitoid is here. Give me the Fugitoid NOW!" he demanded.
The world leaders were now confused as they talked amongst themselves about the sincerity of the prime leader's statement and whether they should believe it or not.
Just then, someone burst into the room and shouted, "The President of the United States has just commissioned the Justice Force!"
At the same time, in a dark corner of the room where no one could see him, a man wearing a black suit with a white under shirt, a black tie and semi-see through sunglasses (meaning you could see his eyes) was talking into his high powered and advanced radio communicator.
"This is Bishop," said the man, now known as Bishop, "We've lost the four turtle brothers and their blond and whiskered brother." He listed to the reply as he replied, "No, I disagree; we have to raise the stakes."
-Outer Space-
The Justice Force (which now consisted of Silver Sentry, Metal Head, Amanda, a humanoid Gill-Man named Tsunami and a red-haired tan-skinned woman named Chrysalis) broke through the force field surrounding the Earth and prepared to attack the Triceratons.
Silver Sentry spoke into an ear piece, "Amanda I just received the official word, it's up to us now."
Amanda, who was flying inside her father's giant domed robot while carrying Metal Head on her back, replied, "I have Metal Head and I managed to get Tsunami from Japan and Chrysalis from India to help."
"Let's make this the Justice Force's finest hour," said Silver Sentry. He then used his super flying speed and his super strength to crash through a Triceraton Mothership. Very quickly, the Triceratons retaliated by sending the majority of their space fighters right at the superheroes. They then started to fire their lasers everywhere, which made the mission more complicated for the superheroes.
Amanda then decided to fly straight into the fray and launch several Domeoids right at the space fighters. Unfortunately while some robots did manage to land on a couple of space fighters, the majority were blown to bits by the Triceraton laser blasts.
However, this gave Metalhead the distraction he needed to go through and land on the giant glass dome of a Triceraton Mothership. He then extended his hair and began to pound and stab at the glass. Slowly but surely the short superhero started to make progress as he first had little cracks to begin with, but now there were more and those were even bigger than the last. However, before he could destroy the glass, he was blasted away by a trio of Triceraton space fighters.
"Metalhead, no!" Amanda cried out as she rushed over to catch him before the Earth's gravity could catch him in its grasp. However, she was now caught in Earth's gravity, but rather than fight it she focused on making a safe landing.
Meanwhile Tsunami was blasting away Triceraton space fighters left and right as he summoned water to extend the reach of his super strength, while Chrysalis caught her share of Triceraton space fighters in a powerful telepathic hold while she then used that power to completely dismantle the ships until every screw was taken out. The ships then fell completely apart and the only thing left was the Triceraton pilots and gunmen themselves.
Suddenly an enormous laser blast from one of the Triceraton Motherships slammed Tsunami and Chrysalis into each other and they too were sent falling down in Earth's gravity. Now only the Silver Sentry remained.
The superhero gritted his teeth in anger as he used his super speed and strength to crash through several Triceraton space fighters, making them all explode one after another. Then he grabbed a space fighter and threw it at more space fighters. But alas he too was blasted back to Earth by means of a Triceraton Mothership laser cannon. Through he bravely tried to fight back, it was no use, the laser beam was stronger and it made him fall to Earth like a meteor.
-The United Nations Building-
The US General answered the emergency red phone and gave the solemn news.
"The Justice Force has been defeated," he said. All the world nation representatives gasped as the General received more news.
"Yes Mr. President, the mobile units will give us enough for one strike," he said as he listened to the reply and replied, "Yes sir." Then he hung up the phone and gave more news. "I just got the word; initiate a full scale nuclear strike against the alien's homeworld," he said.
-The Earth-
Every nuclear missile silo that were hidden throughout the continental United States were all fired at once with the objective to blow up the Triceraton Homeworld.
-Outer Space, near the Earth's Forcefield-
Mikey, Raph, Leo and the captive Triceraton were all headed towards the force field when an alarm went off inside the space fighter.
"Now what?" Leo asked.
"The stupid humans have launched a salvo of nuclear missiles," said the Triceraton, "they won't get through the shield but at the speed we are traveling, neither will we." Raph looked in the rear view camera the gunman backward firing laser cannon provided and sure enough there were over a dozen nuclear missiles headed straight at them from behind in the direction the space fighter was going.
"You've obviously never played Space Destructors," said Mikey, not losing his cool, "now hang on to your shells guys!" And he fired the engines to their maximum power and speed. "This is gonna be cutting it close!" he exclaimed as slowly but surely, he out flew the missiles and was past the force field just as the missiles hit it. The missiles exploded in a fiery blaze due to the force of suddenly stopping at a fast velocity (though I have to question how they can explode in a fiery blaze since there's no oxygen in space).
-The United Nations Building-
"We have a negative impact," said a voice in the PA system, "the Triceraton Force Field stopped the missiles. The homeworld is untouched."
"My God," the US General whispered while the representatives gaped in horror, "that was our last hope. The Earth is now doomed."
-New York City, The 2nd Time Around-
April and Casey looked up at the sky, saw what had happened and gasped in true fear.
-The Lair-
Splinter was watching the news and had seen what had happened as his eyes widened in fear.
-A random farm in the middle of nowhere-
The Justice Force had all conveniently landed in one spot (their costumes were all torn in varying degrees) as they couldn't believe their eyes.
-New York City, Oroku Saki's Headquarters-
The Foot's main base of operations in New York was now fully refurbished and was up and running. Currently, the Shredder stood out on a balcony on the rooftop Japanese Garden. He looked up at the sky as Karai joined him.
"What should we do master?" she asked as the booms of the explosions echoed everywhere.
"Wait," the Shredder replied.
"For what?" Karai asked.
"To see what opportunities present themselves," the Shredder simply replied.
-Outer Space-
The three heroes and captive Triceraton headed for the Triceraton Homeworld.
"Remind me never to get that close to a nuclear explosion again," said Mikey, "I've decided I don't like them anymore."
"Now what the hell do we do?" Raph asked, "We'll never get past the Triceraton defenses."
Leo then noticed a long line of Triceraton space freighters entering through an entrance.
"No, but those freighters will," he said as he addressed Mikey, "We need to land on its back very quietly."
"No problem; one stealth landing coming up," said Mikey.
Raph had his doubts. "Tell me you're not serious," he said.
"Absolutely," Mikey replied, "This is a standard Star Wars infiltration technique. Now watch the master at work Raphie boy." He then carefully flew the ship in a precise manner so they wouldn't be spotted by anyone as he approached the last freighter in the line. Slowly but surely, he carefully adjusted his movements as he maneuvered to the top of the freighter to find a good spot to land. Once he did (sweat was now forming at his brow, which he wiped away with his hands) he carefully lowered the landing gear and, without making a sound, gently landed the space fighter on top of the freighter.
"I don't believe this," Raph whispered to Leo, "Mikey's actually pullin' this off."
"See, he's not completely useless," Leo replied back in a whisper.
"I heard that," said Mikey.
"Well, now that we're inside, what are we going to do about you?" Leo asked the Triceraton.
"I'll tell you what I'm going to do,"' said the Triceraton, "I'll make up an excuse and leave you guys alone."
"Huh?" was the collective response.
"Personally, I've had it up to here with our prime leader (the Triceraton made made the 'up to here' hand gesture) it is only a matter of time before someone usurps his leadership, but until then I must not falter on my loyalty to him," said the Triceraton, "So go now before I change my mind on the matter."
The turtle brothers looked at each other with disbelief.
"Uh, thanks I guess?" said Leo.
The Triceraton just grunted in response and with that, the turtles stealthily exited the space fighter.
-Triceraton Homeworld: Freighter Dock Yards-
The three brothers stealthily moved about, dodging guards along the way as they climbed some pipes until they reached a sewer entrance.
-The Triceraton Sewers-
The turtles wandered down the path they entered until they came to a chamber with many paths going in different directions.
"Man, getting into this place is easy as hell," said Mikey.
"Don't jinx it," said Raph as he addressed Leo, "Okay fearless leader, how do we find Don and Naruto?"
"Uh give me a second," said Leo as he thought out their options, "If you couldn't tell, I'm sort of making this up as I go."
Suddenly Triceratons started to surround them from all directions and all of them were holding laser guns.
"Halt," said one.
"Move and you will be destroyed," said another.
"Hey Leo, could you make up something else? Something with a happy ending?" Mikey asked in a panicky tone.
Leonardo just took out his Katanas. "Attack left," he whispered, "on my signal." Michelangelo and Raphael then took out their Sais and Nun-Chucks respectively.
"No need to attack my friends," said a voice. The three turtles' eyes widened in recognition as Traximus stepped out from behind one of the Triceratons.
"As much as I would enjoy the rematch," he said.
"Traximus? No way," said Raph.
"Welcome to the Triceraton Rebellion," said Traximus.
"Rebellion? Get outta here," said Raph.
"Allow me to introduce a small part of my rebel army," said Traximus as two more figures stepped out. It was Cluh and the female alien who participated in the Battle Nexus.
"Hey I know those guys," said Mikey, "Looks like somebody got some recruits from the Battle Nexus Tournament just like he said he would. But me? I had to settle bringing back the championship trophy."
Raph just hit him across the back of his head.
"I thought we agreed you wouldn't do that anymore," he said with an annoyed tone. Mikey just rubbed his head.
-The Throne Room-
"How many times do we have to tell you," Naruto shouted, "Professor Honeycutt isn't on Earth!"
"You can't fool us scum," Mozar growled.
"But we're not!" Donatello protested.
"You lie! Our brains may be small, but our tracking equipment does not lie," Mozar retorted as he dragged them up to the giant screen behind Zanramon's chair.
"At least you had the courage to admit your brain is small," Naruto remarked. Mozar growled but ignored the blond ninja as the screen showed diagrams and visual aids.
"The Fugitoid's teleportation trail leads directly to your planet," he said.
"Well he was on Earth but not anymore," said Naruto.
Zanramon (who was sitting in his chair) pondered his statement before standing up and saying, "Then where is he?"
"We can't tell you that because we don't know," Naruto protested again.
"Can't or won't?" Zanramon asked. The two brothers did not reply.
"Very well, we 'pea-brained' geckos will have to extract the information from your giant brains," he said. Mozar then grabbed two brain scanning helmets and forcibly put them on the brothers' heads.
"What in the hell-GAAAHHHH!" the two brothers said and screamed at the same time. Up on the giant screen, the various memories of the two brothers started to flash through in rapid succession.
"Struggle all you want fools, but there is no way to escape the mind probe," said Zanramon as he started to analyze the footage.
-Triceraton Rebellion Subterranean Base-
Traximus led the three brothers down to his secret base where members of the resistance trained.
"Man Traximus, you got some big balls for you to put this rebel base right under the prime leader's nose," said Raph.
"Zanramon is too focused on his insane war to notice us," said Traximus, "he has driven the Triceraton Republic to the brink of destruction. That is why he must be overthrown."
"Can't you just hold a recall election?" Mikey jokingly asked.
All of a sudden, he was tackled by a Monza Ram, leader of the Triceraton All-Stars (seemingly by accident).
"Ha ha, thanks pal," Raph chuckled, "you just saved me from the trouble of doin' it myself."
"You remember Monza Ram and his Triceraton All-Stars?" Traximus asked as the rest of the All-Star team showed up.
"Yeah I remember," said Mikey as he got up, "Didn't we whoop your asses in the Triceraton Arena? Of course, that was nothing compared to my unprecedented victory in the Battle Nexus Tournament." And he did showboated this fact by doing an annoying victory dance.
"Is it possible your brother has grown more annoying since last we met?" Monza Ram asked.
"It's a rare gift," said Mikey.
"Yeah, and I wish we could exchange it," said Raph.
"So Traximus," Leo started to ask, "Do you think your troops could spring Naruto and Donatello?"
"Monza Ram and Ia will assist you," said Traximus (and finally the female alien participant of the Battle Nexus has a name and a face to go with it), "but beware, the Prime Leader has sworn personal vengeance on you five. What exactly did you do to him?"
"Other than take him hostage, get him blasted by his own troops, steal his space cruiser and get it blown to atoms, all while escaping with Professor Honeycutt...not much," Leo replied.
-The Throne Room-
Zanramon and Mozar were still reviewing the footage of memories the two brothers provided.
The brothers writhed in pain as they both shouted in their thoughts, 'Master Splinter!'
-The Lair-
Splinter was currently meditating when his eyes widened at the simultaneous cries for help. He then shut his eyes tight and telepathically communicated with his sons.
'My sons!' he called back, 'I am with you!'
-Triceraton Homeworld: The Throne Room-
Don and Naruto let Splinter temporarily enter their minds and short out the brain scanning helmets (don't ask how, I don't know myself how to even explain that).
The giant screen then went staticky.
"What in the hell happened?!" Zanramon demanded to know.
"I don't know, no one has set resisted the mind probe," Mozar answered as he removed both helmets.
Zanramon then walked over to the two brothers and said, "Clearly these two Earth creatures have something to hide, but we have other ways of making you two talk."
"Like hell you will," Naruto retorted.
"Not even to save your brothers?" Zanramon asked ominously.
Naruto and Don's eyes widened.
"Oh yes, we know they are in the same city where we apprehended the both of you," said Zanramon with an evil smile.
-The United Nations Building-
Zanramon appeared on the giant screen.
"Attention people of Earth, since you persist in your defiance by not giving up the Fugitoid," he said, "we will continue to remove cities from your planet and tear them apart but by bit. And we shall start with this densely populated island metropolis that you call New York City."
-The Skies Above New York City-
High in the skies of New York City, a Triceraton Mothership flew over the city and fired its lasers in a circular motion. Any building or bridge that was in its path were either instantly disintegrated or cut in half.
Out on the Brooklyn Bridge, people fled as fast as their legs would carry them as pink laser cut the steel bridge in half.
In the city, everyone didn't know where to flee because everywhere they went, debris would come flying their way or a laser could have cut off their only way out.
-Triceraton Homeworld: The Throne Room-
The five occupants watched the destruction of the city. Zanramon looked at it in glee while Don seethed in anger and Naruto just put on a subtly determined look of anger.
"Your brothers are down there," said Zanramon, "tell me where the Fugitoid is and I won't have to hunt them down and kill them."
-New York City: The Sewers-
"Remind me again why we're walkin' through these god-awful sewers?" Casey asked as he and April wandered the tunnels.
"Because it's been too long since the guys left to make the rescue," April replied, "we can't contact them because the Shell Cell Naruto gave me is now broken so heading back to the Lair makes perfect sense."
Casey then started to say, "Yeah, well I think-." But before he could continue, there was a loud rumbling sound. Up ahead, river water started to rush in (a side effect of the city being torn up to sheds by the Triceraton Mothership).
"I think we should get the hell out of here!" Casey shouted in panic as he and April ran as fast as they could toward a manhole exit. They made it up just in time.
-New York City Streets-
The manhole above the two opened up slowly as they checked to see if the coast was clear. When they found no immediate danger, April pushed the manhole cover off and she and Casey stepped out.
April then looked up at the sky and saw the Triceraton Mothership. "Something tells me it's going to be a while before we can get back to the lair," she said.
As they closed the manhole and quietly went away, two men dressed in black suits with white under shirts, black ties and sunglasses saw them from an alley way from afar.
"Still no sign of the five brothers, but we have identified two of their associates," said one.
"Shadow them," said Bishop on the other end, "we need to follow every possible lead to the Fugitod."
-The United Nations Building-
From atop the roof, Bishop could see the destruction that was happening as he talked to someone on a cell phone-like communicator.
"Look," he said, "my agents are closing in, but you need to handle the Triceratons. We had a deal remember?"
He listed to the reply as he retorted, "Well it's a little fucking hard to hold up my end of the goddamn bargain when they're slicing New York off the face of the fucking planet."
-Triceraton Homeworld: The Sewers-
A steel garage door-like door opened and Monza Ram stepped out followed by the three turtles and Ia.
"First we will need to get to a monitor station and determine where they're holding your brothers," he explained, "so we will have to make our way through..."
"The sewers," said the three brothers.
"It never fails," said Raph.
"So, I still don't understand," said Leo as they stepped out, "how does a Triceraton All-Star like you end up fighting for the rebellion?"
"Zanramon had the entire team imprisoned after our humiliating defeat at your hands,"'Monza Ram explained, "Traximus helped us escape; now my allegiance is only to him."
"Hey," said Mikey, "speaking of humiliating defeats, did I happen to mention I'm a Battle Nexus Champion?"
Raph growled in annoyance as he readied himself to slap Mikey upside the head, only for Leo to stop him and do it himself.
"Ow!" Mikey exclaimed as he quoted Julius Caesar's last words, "Et tu Leo?"
-A Triceraton Monitor Station-
"Sector Zag: All Clear," said a Triceraton as he and his co-workers worked at their stations at a relatively normal pace, getting their information from a central computer which displayed a hologram on a table that was in the middle of the room while three guards listened to the verbal reports being made known to them so they could give a report.
"Sector Rez: All Clear," said another.
"Sector Narzon: All Clear," a third.
Suddenly, there was an explosion on the floor as smoke billowed everywhere.
"Sector Right in Front of Your Noses: Not Clear!" Mikey's voice rang out. The Triceratons were then beat down into unconsciousness by Raph, Leo, Monza Ram, Ia and Mikey (using the smoke to their advantage to attack from all sides).
As the smoke cleared it was easy to see who was the victor of the little skirmish as all the Triceratons were in a semi-neat pile while the rescue team was standing tall and proud.
"We came, we saw, we kicked some ass," said Raph as he Mikey and Leo put away their weapons (quoting another quote from Julius Caesar).
"Yes," Monza Ram agreed, "but it won't be long before they realize the security system has been breached."
He then walked over to a control console and entered some commands to help find the two captive brothers. Up on a monitor, several screens flashed by until he stopped at a particular screen that showed two green circles.
"Well, the good news is that your brothers are on this base," he said, "the bad news is that they're with the prime leader in the throne room."
"Can you get us in?" Leo asked.
Monza Ram nodded as he answered, "Perhaps, if we overcome a few obstacles."
Mikey then looked to the door and asked, "Um, is one of those obstacles a bunch of heavily armed guards?" The others looked in his direction and saw four Triceraton guards running towards the door and opening it.
"Everyone, take out the guards," Monza Ram commanded, "I just had an idea of how to rescue your brothers!" The door then opened and the guards then opened fire. Everyone managed to avoid the blasts, as the three turtles huddled together, looked at each other and wordlessly nodded as they took out their weapons and charged at the four guards. Mikey quickly took out a guard to his left with a one-two punch combo to his face with a hard kick to his abdomen.
Raph took out a guard to his right by roughly slamming him into a wall. Then he grabbed the guards left arm, threw him over his shoulder which made him lie flat on his back and finished off with a pile driver to the abdomen.
Leo took out the last two guards with an uppercut that had them leap up into the air and finished off with a hard donkey-like backwards kick to their faces.
-New York City-
The Triceraton Mothership finished cutting a circle in the city and dropped the device that would make a transparent dome and lift the city off the ground.
-Triceraton Homeworld: The Throne Room-
Zanramon, Mozar, Don and Naruto were all watching the city slowly being lifted off the ground.
Don's eyes partially widened as he suddenly had an idea.
"Wait, don't!" he exclaimed, "the Fugitoid isn't on Earth!"
"And why should we believe you?" Zanramon asked in an accusing manner.
"Can't you just scan for his positronic energy signature?" Don asked.
Zanramon and Mozar just laughed.
"What kind of fools do you take us for?" Zanramon asked with a tone that made it clear they were amused, "positronic signatures are as common as space dust."
"Not on Earth," Don explained, "our technology isn't advanced enough."
"What?!" Zanramon exclaimed as he turned to Mozar, "Why was I not informed of this?"
"Well," Mozar hesitated as he explained, "Naturally we just assumed..."
"Assumed?! We Triceratons assume nothing except victory," Zanramon angrily shouted, "Activate a positronic energy scan NOW!"
"Yes Prime Leader," said Mozar as he walked over to a control console and began the process.
"This had better not be a trick to stall for time while your brothers commit some sort of sabotage," said Zanramon as the screen now showed the Earth being scanned.
"Our brothers are on Earth," said Don, "they wouldn't be caught dead in this place."
"Well Don," Naruto said as he looked towards the door to the throne room, "you may be wrong on that one."
Just then the doors opened and a Triceraton guard brought in Leo, Raph and Mikey.
"Prime Leader, excuse the interruption," said the guard, "but these terrapin spies were caught attempting to secure a security post."
Zanramon turned to Don and said in a mocking tone, "wouldn't be caught dead in this place eh?" He then pushed the two brothers so they could join the other three.
"Now you will all be exterminated," he said as he took out a laser gun (from hammer space) and aimed first at Naruto's forehead (the blond ninja just stared him down with a determined look of defiance). "Now you shall all pay for the crimes you committed against the Triceraton Republic," he said as he put a finger on the trigger, "and don't think I've forgotten what you've done to my space cruiser."
"Excuse me Prime Leader," said the guard, "would it not be best to prolong their agony in a private torture chamber?"
Zanramon paused for a moment before smiling evilly and lowering his arm while saying, "Ah, an excellent suggestion guard; make it so."
"Yes sir," said the guard and he led the five brothers away.
-A Hallway Right Outside the Throne Room-
"Guys if this is your idea of a rescue, it's pretty damn lame," said Don as they all marched down the hallway. The group suddenly stopped in its tracks while the guard took out a handheld device and pressed it, instantly freeing everyone.
"You were saying?" Leo asked as the guard took off his uniform and revealed himself to be Monza Ram.
"Monza Ram?" Don asked, "okay…open mouth, insert foot."
"It's about time you got us out. What took you so long anyway, taking control of that security room should've been a piece of cake," said Naruto.
"Wait, you knew they were here, how?" Don asked.
Naruto held up us right index finger and said, "Two things." He then pointed to his nose and said, "One: it took me a while but I finally managed to learn how to enhance my senses with chakra, I could smell, hear and feel them the moment they set one foot on this chunk of rock." He then held up his right middle finger, which made the '#2' sign, and said, "Two: even if we were in the sun's core, they would have fought tooth and nail to rescue us."
"Um excuse me," Monza Ram said as he opened a grate that led to a ventilation shaft, "as much as I like reunions, we must hurry and get you to an escape ship."
-The Throne Room-
Zanramon and Mozar watched the Earth being scanned.
"We've scanned half the planet, not one sign of a positronic energy signature sir," said Mozar, "maybe the terrapin and the whiskered human were telling the truth."
Zanramon grind and gritted his teeth in anger. "No," he said angrily, "The Fugitoid must be here, he has to be here."
Just before they could see a complete scan of the Earth, the screen changed to show a naked Triceraton.
"Sir," he groaned, "Three terrapin creatures, an unknown alien and one of our own attacked us and stole my uniform."
"WHAT?!" Zanramon shouted angrily, "SEAL OFF THE BASE, DO NOT LET THOSE CREATURES ESCAPE!"
-Triceraton Hanger Bay-
Mozar's voiced boomed and echoed everywhere while Triceraton soldiers scrambled everywhere.
"All units, full alert! All units, full alert! We have intruders, commence base lockdown immediately!"
Amidst the chaos, Monza Ram, Leo, Naruto, Don, Raph and Mikey crawled out of a ventilation grate entrance that was hidden behind some crates. Monza Ram then noticed a wheeled flatbed full of highly explosive barrels and pushed it into the crowd of soldiers. He then took out a laser gun and blasted away a barrel, causing the expected chain reaction of every other barrel on the flatbed.
"Come on let's go," said Leo and the five brothers leapt out of their hiding place while Monza Ram threw more barrels in the air and shot them.
"Good luck my friends," he whispered.
"Hey," Mikey said noticing a very familiar looking ship up ahead, "that's the prime leader's personal cruiser."
"Didn't we steal this before?" Naruto asked in a rhetoric manner.
"Well guess what," said Leo with a sly smile, "we're going to steal it again." They then quickly got in through the roof hatch.
"Good thing we know how to fly this thing," said Mikey as he and Raph manned the weapons.
"Actually, Professor Honeycutt flew this thing last time," said Naruto as he took the central command chair while Leo and Don sat to his left and right respectively. He, along with Don and Leo, pressed a couple of buttons which made the space cruiser hover over its landing platform. Some Triceraton soldiers quickly tried to shoot it down, but Raph and Mikey aimed the ship's laser cannons and fired making the soldiers scatter. Naruto then maneuvered the ship to an exit/entrance tunnel and blasted off far away from the homeworld.
-The Throne Room-
A soldier reported in on the giant screen and addressed Zanramon.
"Prime Leader, the...uh...Earth creatures have...uh...stolen your private space cruiser," he said before hesitantly adding, "again."
"Goddamn it I just had it re-detailed," Zanramon muttered, "why doesn't anything go right." He then commanded to Mozar, "Kill them! And tell Engineering to start building me a new cruiser!"
-Space Fighter Hanger Bay-
Mozar's voice boomed an echoed again as alarms sounded followed by flashing red lights.
"All combat pilots to your Tri-Fighters immediately! All pilots to Tri-Fighters immediately!"
However, as all the pilots boarded their space craft, Ia partially stepped out of the shadows and took out a handheld device. She then pressed a button and all the Triceraton space fighters in the hanger exploded simultaneously.
-The Throne Room-
"Prime Leader," said the soldier, "the Tri-Fighters have been sabotaged; they're exploding in the hanger bay."
"GODDAMN IT!" Zanramon shouted, "I want those Earth terrorists vaporized! Do you hear me, VAPORIZED!"
-Outer Space-
A Triceraton Mothership started to go after the lone space cruiser and three fired green cannon-like laser blasts that worked like a heat seeking missile.
Inside the ship, Naruto announced, "Planet Earth, dead ahead!"
"I'm more worried about dead behind," said Mikey as he noticed the incoming laser blasts, "as in our dead behinds."
"Hang on guys," said Naruto as he pushed the acceleration throttle forward, "and try not to throw up." He then flew the ship straight up for a bit before quickly turning around, noticing that the projectiles followed them.
"Hang on guys," I just got an idea."
-The Throne Room-
Zanramon was still sitting in his chair when Mozar gave some news.
"Prime Leader, the planetary scan is complete, negative on all positronic energy signatures," he said.
"The Fugitoid is not on Earth?! Then this entire invasion was a colossal waste of time and resources," said Zanramon.
"The high council will not be pleased," said Mozar.
"I am the high council," Zanramon shot back (as well as unknowingly quoting King Louis the XIV), "besides, I can still save face with the death of the five Earth Creatures."
-With Naruto and the others-
Naruto flew the ship directly towards the Triceraton Mothership that was floating above New York City (and was still in the process of raising the city.)
"I hope you know what you're doing!" Leo shouted to Naruto over the roar of the engines.
"So do I," Naruto shouted back as he flew into the exit/entrance tunnel of the Mothership.
To everyone's joy, the projectiles bounced off each-other and exploded as soon as contact was made with the wall. Naruto then quickly found another exit/entrance tunnel and flew back outside just as the Mothership started to explode tremendously. This was followed by the transparent dome disappearing and New York City itself coming back down in one perfect piece.
"Way to go Naruto!" Mikey exclaimed happily, "how'd ya know it was gonna work like that?"
"Well actually I didn't," said Naruto.
-Triceraton Homeworld: The Throne Room-
Zanramon had witness what had happened on the giant screen as he growled in anger and humiliation.
"Damn them," he said as he ripped something from its place in the room and threw it at the screen, making it crack.
"Actually sir, our scan did pick up another teleportation trail, one leading away from Earth," said Mozar as he showed Zanramon what he was talking about on a handheld device with a screen built into it, "Apparently the Fugitoid was on the planet briefly before teleporting off."
"Then perhaps our search has not been in vain," said Zanramon as he got up from us chair, "Quickly, plan a course to follow that trail at once! Alert all troops, we're leaving this miserable backwater planet!"
-Outer Space-
Very quickly and very efficiently, every Triceraton Mothership filled with hundreds of thousands of Triceraton soldiers returned to the homeworld and with the force field dropped, the aliens prepared to go into deep space.
-The Skies above New York City-
The five brothers flew low in the space cruiser as they prepared to return to the lair for a good night's rest.
"Looks like the hour heads are packin' it in," said Raph.
"Looks like we saved the Earth from an alien invasion," said Leo.
"Do you think we'll get a hero's welcome?" Mikey asked excitedly, "or maybe dinner with the president or a made-for-tv movie?!"
All four of his brothers gave him annoyed looks.
"Or, we could just hide in the sewers and let someone else take the glory," he suggested.
"Well look on the bright side," said Naruto, "We got a space ship out of the deal."
"And more importantly, this whole Fugitoid crisis is finally over," said Don.
-The Utrom Homeworld: A Laboratory of Sorts-
A door opened and Mortu, who was not in his Utrom Exo-suit but instead on a floating hover disk, hovered in and called out, "Professor Honeycutt are you in here, I would like to see how your research in strengthening of our Exo-Suits are coming along." When he received no response, the Utrom looked around the lab a bit before stumbling on what appeared to be the Professor's Tele-Portal Device and a pre-recorded video message.
"What's this?" Mortu asked as he played the message, making a hologram of the Professor appear.
"A message from Professor Honeycutt to the Utrom High Council: My dear friends, by the time you receive this, I shall be gone. This morning, a sub-space viewing device, planted on the Earth, alerted me to the planet's imminent fate. As you know, both the Triceratons and the Federation want the plans for the Tele-portal Device, so that they may use it to further their war of annihilation against each other. They will destroy the Earth in their hunt for me. I have calculated and recalculated the probabilities and there is only one sure solution: I must erase all information pertaining to the Tele-portal and then surrender myself to the enemy. I know the risks are high and there is a 95.6% certainty that I will not return, but I beseech you, do not try to stop me. For it is as they say: Greater Love has no robot than this. That he must lay down his RAM for his friends."
The message then ended there and Mortu just whispered, "My god, please tell me he didn't."
-New York City: 30 Seconds After the Invasion Ended-
In the lone pit where the T.C.R.I. Building once stood, a beam of blue energy blasted down from outer space and Professor Honeycutt started to materialize in piece by piece and bit by bit.
"Oh dear," he said as he looked around, "Am I too late?"
-To Be Continued-
"Almost an entire month to update for just one chapter, that is outrageous."
Okay then, you try watching six episodes then begin to adapt them one by one and see how easy it is.
But in all seriousness, here is the next chapter. Hope you like it and please leave a review.
