Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!


Don, Donnie, Mike, and Mikey all ran to the Daimyo's palace. Don knocked on the door, introduced the 2012 turtles, and then they were granted entrance. They ran to the Daimyo's pavilion, where the Splinters were also talking. Daimyo jumped up as soon as he saw the panting turtles.

"My friends! I was just telling the Splinters what Usagi discovered about the girls! They have been using their swords to put people in a near-drugged state to control them!" he exclaimed to the shocked turtles.

"I knew they had something to do with this!" Don muttered, putting a hand on his chin. "Anyway, Leo and Leonardo have been taken over by them and we need help but I don't know how to help them!"

"No one does, my friend," Daimyo said sadly as Donnie tried to explain the situation to the Splinters completely with all his personal information. "The book says that victims can only be released if the girls themselves release them."

"What?!" Mike demanded, a scowl making its way onto his usual happy face. He stalked to the Daimyo and got as close to his face as possible. "No disrespect, Daimyo, but you can't be saying that they're goners, right?!"

"I am most certainly not saying that, my friend. I am simply saying that we do not know what to do yet," Daimyo said lightly.

Mike smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

Mikey was crossing his arms subconsciously. "Guys, we have to help them!"

"We know, Mikey. Daimyo, do you have cell service here?" Don asked, already taking out his near-forgotten Shell Cell.

"I apologize, my friend, but Third and Fifth Earths are the only worlds that would need that, and I do not have any idea how to set that up," Daimyo said sheepishly.

"Well, I guess the trackers should still work. Let's go find Raph and Raphael and see if they've found the Leos," Don said, putting his cell in his belt and waving his brother and their counterparts over. "Master Splinters, Daimyo, are you coming?"

"Yes, my friend. I will inform the Gyoji that the next round will be delayed and to put a lock-down on the Nexus," Daimyo answered.

"We are coming as well, Donatello," Hamato Splinter said.

Don smiled and they all left the room.


Raph and Raphael leaned on the rooftop, debating quietly-ish whether or not to go into the building then and there.

"We have to wait for the others! The odds aren't exactly in our favor with the mind-controlling sword thing!" Raph whisper-shouted heatedly.

"When has that ever stopped us?!" Raphael retorted.

"Since there wasn't a mind-controlling sword!" Raph yelled at him, forgetting quiet. Leonardo and Leo, who were directly under them, looked up and their black eyes widened.

Raph put a seemingly futile finger to his lips, but the Leos just looked away, as if forgetting they were there. They didn't have any orders since the girls hadn't seen the red-clad turtles, so the Raph's were safe for now. Raph sighed in relief.

"OK, then," Raphael muttered quietly. "No more screamin'."

Raph growled at him ferally.


Don and the others all climbed silently up the building Raph and Raphael's phones at the very least were on. Donnie had checked his own phone just in case. They met up with the worried turtles, who shushed them as they pointed down. Leo and Leonardo were still in the same positions, staring at the girls, who were deciding who would go to what dimension. Leo occasionally glanced up at them, and they all just looked down at him with nervous smiles.

Daimyo sat down. "Alright, we need a plan."

"How 'bout we jus' bust in dere an' make dem girls release Leo and Leonardo from deir li'l spell!" Raphael exclaimed, sais already out.

Splinter smacked him in the head with his cane and Raphael pouted. "That is very rash and unpredictable. There are only nine of us and there are 8 girls and the Leonardos!"

"Well, ya two c'n take care of da Leos an' we c'n get da girls!" Raphael protested, getting in his father's face.

Hamato Splinter looked at the Daimyo, who shrugged. The bigger rat then stepped forward. "I personally believe that it would be better if only a few went in," he said as he pulled the two arguing mutants apart easily.

Raphael started, nearly falling off the slanted roof if not for Don. "What?! Da's worse dan MAH plan!" he exclaimed.

Raph slapped him in the arm, dodging out of the way of a counter. "Listen to the rest!"

"...And then the rest shall sneak in and get the Leonardos and somehow we will make those wretched girls release them," Hamato Splinter finished.

"There's a reason that Leo comes up with the plans," Mike whispered to Mikey, who nodded.

"Alright, alright, let's do that," Raphael relented. "Who's goin' in first? Da Leos're prob'ly gonna attack us first, and da Splintas an' maybe Daimyo are da only ones really qualified ta fight dem."

"Hamato Splinter, his son Raphael, and Splinter's Donatello and Michelangelo shall go in first," Daimyo ordered. Hamato and Raphael shall fight the Leonardos and Donatello and Michelangelo shall go after the girls. When things start to get bad, the rest of us shall come in. Plan?"

Everyone nodded, and the first group positioned themselves at the window. Daimyo gave the cue, and they all jumped in.

"COWABUNGAAAA!" Mike screamed. Leo and Leonardo dodged out of the way of them and were in front of the already seething girls.

The green-haired girl growled. "Attack!" she ordered. Leo and Leonardo unsheathed their katanas.

"YAAH!" they both yelled as they attacked.
