A/N: I know about that deleted episode 'Nightmares Recycled', but since I don't anywhere it can be found, I'm leaving it out. Hope you all understand as it's the only episode I haven't been able to watch.
Please read and review?
On an island outside New York, was a tall tower with statues of previous members of the Justice Force in the grounds, while the current members, Leo, Elisa and Mikey were all battling two robots made up of Triceraton Starship parts.
It fires lasers at Ananda and two possible recruits called Bowmaster and Molecluo, as Leo, Elisa and Mikey jump and land near them, Mikey in his Turtle Titan costume.
Mikey: I've always kinda thought my siblings and I were magnets for trouble.
The three Turtles turn and run off as the robots fire.
And I'm right, we are.
Mikey points forward as they stop, while his siblings look around, as Silver Sentry flies over them.
But we're nothing compared to superheroes.
He flies up and around towards the tower, then shoots down towards the ground. The robots shoot lasers at him, one hitting the tower, before he swoops down towards them. He flies right through one, smashing it open, then he flies off.
Chrysalis hovers above the tower, spreading her arms and wings out, as her body glows, creating a forcefield around her, as Tsunami shows up beside her on a waterfall.
Take the Justice Force. They can't lift a finger without trouble finding them.
Raptarr swoops down towards the battle while holding Nobody, as the first robot turns around.
They... need a new member or two.
It aims and fires its laser cannon.
Simple enough, right?
Silver Sentry flies up slightly, manifesting a staff and shield, which he uses to try and deflect the blast, but it sends him flying away, landing in the East River.
Put an ad in superhero...
The robot turns around to Chrysalis, who floats towards him.
...weekly, hang a "help wanted" sign outside your impenetrable fortress of super dudes...
She shoots beams from her hands at the robot, which hit it, creating a smokescreen.
...and score some new teammates. Easy! Sorry, true believer.
The smoke clears, showing the robot surrounded by a shield.
Nothing's easy when you're a superhero.
The robot lowers its shield, then turns its shoulder into a laser cannon, which it fires three times, hitting Chrysalis.
"AH!" she moans.
She falls back past the statue of Stainless Steve, hitting the ground hard near the three Turtles.
"Ah!" Mikey gasped.
They all turn as flash of light comes from the ground, then they turn to the robots. One fires lasers at them, which Leo and Elisa deflect with Gunshin and Arashi, before a blast hits the ground in front of them all.
"AH!" Leo and Elisa moan, as they all go flying away.
Mikey hits the ground on his side, then turns over onto his shell, looking at a smokescreen.
The Justice Force's membership drive just went to shell.
The robot marches through the smokescreen.
"Ah..." Mikey gulps.
The only question is... am I gonna survive long enough to submit my application?
He panics as the robot towers over him.
In the city, as the sun rose above it, near a harbor area, was a secret underground base of the E.P.F, as a E.P.F truck moved along a road towards a gas station. It turned right into it and moved towards the garage door, before it pulled over, then the door opened, then it entered the base. The door closed behind it, as it went down an elevator hatch, before it entered the base, then it backed away for a minute, then raced off.
"Incoming communication." came a computer voice.
Inside a lab in the base, stood Bishop in his armor, who had several aliens in glass containers around him, including a Triceraton, with some Triceraton equipment on a table, including a breathing mask. A hologram image of Stockman showed up front of him.
"Stockman, what do you want?" he asked.
"A new piece of alien wreckage from the invasion has been uncovered." Stockman explained. From the report it could be a power core."
Bishop's eyes widened from the news.
(Elsewhere)
Stockman sat in a chair inside a room staring at a hologram image of Bishop.
"Most of the space debris has long been cleared away." he explained. "This could be the Earth Protection Force's last chance to find..."
(E.P.F. lab)
"...something of value."
"Take a commando unit, retrieve the piece, and report back." Bishop ordered.
"It's always a pleasure doing business with you, Agent Bishop." Stockman said.
Meanwhile, down in the lair, Donnie stood near his latest invention, the Turtle Taxi, which was bigger than a normal one for all six Turtles, when Leo and Elisa both came towards him.
"You put what in the trunk?" Leo questioned.
"Jet engines." Donnie answered. "Every taxi in New York should have 'em."
He pressed a button on a remote he held, as they all turned to it, then the trunk opened, showing jet engines.
"It's also got retractable armor." Donnie explained.
The ends of each side of the taxi extended out.
"I incorporated a lot of Adam's ideas." Donnie said, pressing the remote.
The fender opened up, showing a hook and rope, then the headlights rose up, showing lasers.
"He would have loved working on this." Donnie sighed, putting the remote away.
"Did Cath help you out on this?" Elisa inquired.
"No." Donnie sighed. "She's been busy reading Irene's medical book ever since she got back. She's up in her room doing it now."
"Guess she wants to know everything in there before she can relax." Leo deduced.
"We all lost a friend back there." Elisa sighed. "Guess we're all taking it hard in our own way."
"We interrupt this program for breaking news." came a Newsman. "We now go to the scene."
The three Turtles approached the TV, which showed a female reporter near a barrier between the East River, with a large tower behind it.
"Rumors that the superhero team known as the Justice Force is expanding have been confirmed." she reported. "Channel 6 news has just learned that while the team has recently added two new members, they plan to continue the drive with..."
(The scene)
"...hopes of inviting several more heroes into their ranks." the reporter explained.
(The lair)
"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Donnie asked.
"I'm thinking it might be a good idea to talk to the Justice Force about the Shredder." Leo said, folding his arms, as Donnie touched his chin.
"So do I." Elisa agreed. "I have a feeling we'll need all the help we can get for when he arrives."
"I was thinking that Mikey's gonna freak out when he hears this." Donnie said nervously.
At those words, Mikey jumped into the room from a door behind Leo and Elisa, wearing his Turtle Titan costume.
"Behold!" he declared, getting their attention. "The next member of the Justice Force, the new improved Turtle Titan!"
"Oh, brother." Elisa sighed, face-palming herself.
Leo and Donnie both flinched and grimaced.
"And I was right." Donnie said, face-palming himself.
They all turned and approached their younger brother.
"Mikey, the Justice Force could be powerful allies against the Shredder." Leo said. "They're not going to take us seriously if you're goofing around."
"But come on! How cool would it be? Me, a member of the Justice Force!" Mikey said happily.
Leo folded his arms as Donnie turned to him, while Elisa approached Mikey.
"Yeah, right? You'd be the annoying one who gets on people's nerves!" Elisa argued.
"Hey!" Mikey said offended.
Donnie shrugged as Leo turned to him.
"I'm finishing up the taxi, Cath's still reading, and Raph's out up blowing off steam with Casey, but if you guys wanna get to the Justice Tower in superhero style, I've got just the thing." Donnie said.
He led his three siblings towards a tunnel with a water entrance, as the doorways opened up, showing a tunnel leading to the river. Leo, Elisa and Mikey then got into a hydrofoil vehicle with a rocket engine, which had three seats, one in front, one in the middle, one in the back.
"Strap down your shells and prepare yourselves… for the Sewer Sled!" Donnie said.
Once Leo, Elisa and Mikey were in the Sewer Sled, they strapped in, before Leo - who sat in the middle - started it up and hit the peddle, powering up the rocket. He hit the panel, boosting the Sewer Sled down the tunnel.
"Wahoo!" Mikey whooped, sitting in the front.
"Yeah!" Leo said.
"Gangway!" Elisa cheered, sitting in the back.
Leo moved the Sewer Sled around, so it raced along the ceiling slightly, before it came out of the tunnel and landed on the river in a storm drain, then he raced it towards the Brooklyn Bridge.
Meanwhile, at the Coney Island Amusement park, which was closed as it was still under repair from the fight with Nano 2 years ago and the Triceraton invasion, as the front gate had a sign saying 'Closed, under construction'.
Inside, was Stockman's commando unit, which was patrolling around an E.P.F. truck, which Stockman was in, and the wreckage of a Triceraton Starfighter.
"Agent Bishop will be furious!" Stockman frowned.
He sat in a chair, looking at a holographic display for the wreckage, which scanned it.
"This is useless; completely burnt out." he said. "What a waste of my time, my talent."
A bell rang slightly as the scanner picked up something.
"Huh?" he muttered, as the scanner indicated something inside. "That's odd?"
He turned the chair around and got up.
"This calls for further investigation." he said, approaching the door.
He stopped and pressed a button on his body, then a hologram of his original body appeared around it. The door opened, then he stepped out and approached a E.P.F solider.
"Let's have a closer look, shall we?" he said, walking past him.
He stopped and turned by large letter N, which had been part of the building the wreckage had crashed into. He used magnification features of his eye to zoom in on part of the starfighter, then zoomed in twice more, to see dozens of Nanobots, as Nano had survived his last fight with the Turtles.
"Nanobots?" he questioned, before turning to the soldier. "Bring out the particle collectors. We're bringing something back."
Meanwhile, the Sewer Sled raced along the East River towards the Justice Tower, before Leo pulled it over near the edge of land. In the grounds where statues of members of the original Justice Force, on either side of a walkway, with the real Zippy-Lad sitting beneath his in his wheelchair, facing three new potential recruits.
One was dressed in dark blue, had long Japanese style hair, and had a crossbow with multiple arrows on, as well as two golf bags of arrows, and was called Bowmaster. The second had brown hair, and was dressed in a blue outfit, with silver gauntlets, green goggles and a belt buckle called Moleculo. The third had blonde hair, and was more muscular than the others, wore a plum colored crow mask, with a costume made of that and a ochre orange shade, with a green jacket, and large metal gauntlet weapons, and was call Gauntlet.
"You think you've got what it takes to be a hero?" Zippy-Lad questioned, sounding like a Drill Sgt. "Well, think again! You punks got invited to come for an interview with the Justice Force. Well, whoopity-doo."
He moved towards the recruits.
"You think that toy of yours makes you a hero, gadget boy?" he asked Bowmaster.
"Uh..." Bowmaster muttered, looking at his crossbow.
"And you, Moleculo, you shrink. You really think pushing that little button on your belt's gonna help you in a fight, tiny?" Zippy-Lad asked, moving towards him.
Moleculo lowered his head in shame.
"Stand up straight, boy!" Zippy-Lad barked.
Moleculo stood at attention as Zippy-Lad moved to Gauntlet.
"Gauntlet, you think you're special because of those power gloves?" Zippy-Lad said, waving his hands slightly, making Gauntlet angry as his face crawled slightly. "You think you can slug it out with super villains, tough guy? Huh? You think you're ready?"
"Just give me something to fight!" Gauntlet demanded. "Anything, anyone. I'll show you!"
The three Turtles got off the Sewer Sled and jumped onto land.
"Sounds like someone has a temper around here." Elisa whispered to Leo.
Leo nodded in agreement, before Mikey ran off and jumped up, landing on the podium of the statue of Battling Bernice.
"The Turtle Titian has arrived!" he declared, getting up.
Zippy-Lad moved along as the three recruits all turned around.
"A super villain attack? You picked the wrong place at the wrong time!" Gauntlet growled.
He jumped up and dived towards Mikey.
"AHH!" he shrieked. "Is it the new costume?"
He turned and jumped away before Gauntlet could slam his gloves into him, making him hit the ground. He turned as Mikey somersaulted forward and landed on the green turf lighting on the walkway.
"Seriously, if you're not digging the new threads, I'm open to suggestions!" he swore.
Leo and Elisa both came over and stood on either side of him.
"Look, there's been a misunderstanding." Leo explained. "We're not here to fight."
"Oh, Leonardo, Elisabetta and Michelangelo. Come to sign up, have you?" Zippy-Lad asked.
"No." Leo and Elisa said.
"Yes." Mikey said at the same time.
Leo glared at Mikey as Elisa elbowed his chest.
"Ow!" he yelped.
"We haven't, you doofus!" Elisa snarled. "Now shut up!"
"We're here to talk to the Justice Force about a serious threat." Leo explained.
"Well, then, you young fellas had better go on up." Zippy-Lad said, pointing at the tower.
Leo put his hands together and bowed his head, as Elisa nodded.
"Gee, thanks, Z.L." Mikey said, holding his thumb up.
They all turned and ran towards the tower.
"I hate line-cutters!" Gauntlet growled.
Zippy-Lad flinched and began to pinch the bridge of his nose.
"Oh, these superheroes today." he moaned.
Meanwhile, at the E.P.F underground base, Stockman was in the laboratory, examining the Nanobots, which floated around in a glass container.
"Simply amazing." he said, approaching the glass. "They don't seem to be Triceraton or Federation in origin and the only human brilliant enough to create this kind of technology is me."
Bishop came into the lab as he moved around holographic controls, before he touched the glass. An oval shape came onto the container, which he then pressed, zooming in on some of the Nanobots.
"Are you certain you can reprogram them?" Bishop asked.
"Puh-lease." Stockman said, holding up a control chip. "The control chip I'm placing on one of the nanobots will send my programming out to each and every one of them."
He put it on a small device, which he then pressed, which shrunk the control chip, then shot a laser towards one of the Nanobots.
"Millions of Nanobots under my control, the possibilities are endless." he said.
The Nanobot turned from white to gold, before Bishop pushed Stockman aside.
"All under my control, Dr." he corrected. "Activate them!"
"Uh, uh, of course, Agent Bishop." Stockman understood, stuttering.
A holographic panel showed up on the oval, which he then pressed, as the remaining Nanobots turned gold. A high-pitched noise came from the container, shocking both men, then they backed away as the Nanobots moved rapidly to the top of the container.
"Ah!" Stockman gasped.
The Nanobots all formed into a head shape.
"Family. Uh, family." Nano said, his voice no longer childish.
"Were you aware that it was intelligent?" Bishop asked.
"No, no, I..." Stockman stuttered honestly.
"Foreign programming detected, taking over. Error. Weapons protocol. No! Must escape." Nano said, his voice changing with each sentence.
He turned into the Nanobots, which whirled around at the top of the container, before they smashed it open. They flew over Bishop and Stockman and went into the floor.
"Ah!" both men yelped, Stockman diving onto his chest.
Nano moved his Nanobots along the floor and began to move a wall, pulling several Triceraton objects with them like magnets.
"What is it doing to my lab, Stockman?" Bishop demanded.
Nano created a circular whirlwind, which the objects shot towards.
"Amazing. The Nanobots are..." Stockman began, as Bishop ducked to avoid a piece of equipment. "...reconfiguring our technology, rebuilding it to..."
Parts of the body hit the floor in leg shapes, then created a bulky humanoid body, with a claw for a right hand, a laser cannon on its left shoulder, while its head began to move between frowning red eyes, and desperate blue ones.
"Error! No, I don't... Error." Nano said, going red again.
He growled, making both men move away from him.
"Error." he said.
"Ugh. This isn't possible. How is it resisting my programming?" Stockman wondered.
He and Bishop backed away as Nano stopped glowing, then Bishop touched his headset, before ripping his overcoat off. Nano picked up a panel unit, then threw it at Bishop, who rolled to his right to avoid it, getting in front of Stockman.
"No. No." Nano said, his eyes blue, before they turned red. "Error. Error!"
Bishop pressed his left wrist, extending his Gatling blaster, which he aimed at Nano, who frowned and growled. Bishop fired as Nano turned his chest into Nanobots, before he dived towards a wall, then began to drill through it, before Bishop fired a laser at the entrance after Nano had escaped. He ran towards it and looked up the tunnel, as Stockman watched.
"Tell me, Dr., is this your idea of control?" Bishop asked.
Stockman came towards him, looking speechless, as he didn't know how to explain what happened.
"I'm beginning to understand why your former employer kept reliving you of body parts." Bishop said coldly, turning to him.
Back at the Justice Tower, Leo, Elisa and Mikey were all in an elevator with Metalhead.
"No, seriously." Mikey said, as the door opened up. "We've got these mystical abilities now."
They all walked out of the elevator and into a conference room.
"I got super speed." Mikey continued.
"Mikey, please let Leo do the talking and don't goof off?" Elisa asked, as Metalhead walked off.
"Can't promise you that, Ellie." Mikey joked.
Metalhead lead the Turtles towards a table, where Sliver Sentry, Ananda, Chrysalis and Tsunami sat around, with the letters 'JF' on the middle, all staring at a large screen.
Whoa! This place is so cool! Ooh, an I sit in a Justice chair?" Mikey asked.
"Nobody, Raptarr, let me be the first to welcome you to the Justice Force." Sliver Sentry said, his neck, wrists, boots and mask now black instead of white.
The JF symbol on the screen moved to the top left corner, as an image of Nobody showed up on it.
"I'll be there if you need me." he said.
His image moved to the bottom right corner, as an image of Raptarr showed up in the top left corner, the symbol now between them.
"Your invitation honors me, Sentry." he said, before they vanished from the screen.
Sliver Sentry turned around and saw the three Turtles coming towards him, getting the other members to turn too.
"Well, I'll be. Turtle Titan, Elisabetta, Leonardo, what brings you to the Justice Force?" he inquired.
"Did you come to sign up?" Ananda asked.
"Well, actually-" Mikey began.
Elisa put her hand over his mouth in annoyance.
"Keep quiet, blockhead!" she hissed.
"No. We've come to warn you about a creature of great evil and power." Leo explained. "It calls itself the Shredder."
The Justice Force all looked confused.
"You probably need to hear the whole story." Elisa said.
Later, in the city, people stood in a street Nano walked down, as the TVs in a store showed a News broadcast.
"The world waits with baited breath as the Justice Force continues deliberations." the Newsman explained.
A woman screamed as a man pulled his car over in the street, before he got out and ran off. Nano approached and stomped on the car, before he turned to the store.
"Must get away." he said, his eyes blue, before they turned red. "Error, must obey."
He stared at the TVs.
"Justice Force..." the Newsman said, as they showed the Justice Tower. "...dedicated their lives to the defence of life. Keeping the world safe from villainy and harm."
The screens show all the members outside the tower, including Nobody and Raptarr.
"Safe from villainy and harm." Nano said, his eyes blue. "The Justice Force can help me."
His eyes turned red.
"Error. Error. Stockman, control, obey. Error Weapons protocol. Weapons online." he said, turning left, as his shoulder cannon rose up. "Attack!"
Three people in the street all turned and ran off screaming as Nano turned to them.
"Error." he said.
One of his eyes began to scan the street as more civilians watched.
"Processing." he said.
He saw the Justice Tower in the distance, before it zoomed in on the front door, which had the words 'Justice Force' atop it.
"Confirm. Destroy Justice Force." he said.
He began to march down the street towards the tower, as several civilians moved away out of fear.
Later, at the Justice Tower, Bowmaster, Gauntlet and Molecluo stood in the grounds, the latter pacing around.
"So we get to fight, right?" Gauntlet asked, punching his fists out. "I wanna fight!"
"I can handle anything that comes my way." Bowmaster said, aiming his crossbow.
A claw came out onto the grounds near the edge of the island, making them all turn, as Nano climbed out of the East River. Molecluo gasped as Nano approached him, while the other two stared at him.
"Destroy Justice Force." Nano chanted.
"Th-That's a supervillain?" Molecluo gasped.
He pressed the button on his belt, shrinking him down to the size of an ant.
"I think I forgot to fill out some membership papers." he said, running towards a statue.
"Must destroy Justice Force!" Nano said, approaching the other two.
Inside the tower, Leo and Elisa had told the Justice Force all that had happened to them while training with the Ninja Tribunal, and all about the Demon Shredder. During that time, Raptarr and Nobody had arrived and sat with the others.
"...and then we were transported back to New York." Leo finished. "The Demon Shredder could be resurrected at any time. He may be here already."
"Whenever that may be, you better be prepared, as he has no mercy from what we've heard." Elisa explained.
Sliver Sentry got up from his chair.
"The Justice Force will be at your disposal when the time comes." he promised, approaching Mikey.
He held his hand out, which Mikey shook.
"Ah." Mikey said.
"Wow. So, uh, if you should notice anything weird going on in the city…" Leo began, before the building began to shake. "Huh?"
Mikey backed away, as everyone felt the tower shake.
"I'm noticing something right now." Mikey said.
"Gee, you think?" Elisa scowled sarcastically.
Outside, Nano kept approaching Gauntlet and Bowmaster, the latter backing away, as the former punched his gloves.
"Come on, come on! Fight!" Gauntlet dared with his finger.
Nano slammed his left hand down, squashing him into the ground, before he looked at Bowmaster, his eyes blue.
"No, stay back." he said. "Must find Justice Force. Error."
He stood up as his eyes turned red, picking up Gauntlet, before throwing him away, who hit the statue of Dr. Dome. Nano began to approach Bowmaster, who backed away while aiming his crossbow at him.
"Destroy Justice Force." Nano chanted, before they stopped.
"You wanna take down the Justice Force? You'll have to go through Bowmaster first." Bowmaster snarled.
He loaded four arrows into his crossbow and fired them all, hitting Nano's chest.
"Ah!" he yelped.
The arrows exploded, creating a smokescreen, making Bowmaster cover his eyes with his forearm. He lowered them, before Nano stretched his left arm and grabbed him, while his head was retracted into his body.
"Oh!" Bowmaster yelped.
Nano lifted him up, then smashed him into the walkway, knocking him out cold.
"Ah!" he moaned.
Nano moved towards Molecluo, who was still running towards the statue, before Nano nearly stomped on him, lifting some ground up. Molecluo pushed some aside, then ran off.
"Help! Somebody!" he called, before he turned and backed away towards a statue. "Help."
He raised his arms up over his face and turned around, just as Nano moved to grab him, before Sliver Sentry dashed over and grabbed Molecluo, making Nano grab some of the grass. Sliver Sentry opened his hands, staring at Molecluo, who sat up and looked at him, before he fainted from shock.
Sliver Sentry flew along, before he put Molecluo in a pocket in his cape, before Raptarr came swooping down towards him, holding Nobody as he did. He dropped Nobody, who landed crouched next to Sliver Sentry, then as Nano got up, Chrysalis showed up near the tower, holding her arms and wings out, as she was surrounded by her energy field. Tsunami then showed up beside her on a water wave bridge, before Metalhead crawled down a wall behind Nano, then Ananda landed her Domebot on the ground, before the three Turtles jumped off it.
"Give it up, giant robot! The Justice Force is here! You gotta admit, guys, that sounds pretty cool." Mikey said.
"Will you focus here!" Elisa scowled, slapping his head.
"Ow!" Mikey moaned.
Sliver Sentry charged at Nano, before he jumped and shot towards him, smashing a hole right through him in the middle, before he flew up. He turned around in mid-air, as Nano fell onto its knees, sparks coming from his body, before it blew up. Metalhead jumped off the wall as some Nanobots attached themselves to the wall, biting a large hole right through it, as well as some support beams and other parts of the building. They all shot back towards the body, before they reformed Nano's body, expect he now had sliver armor, before several Nanobots shot from its head, creating another Nano.
"Does that look familiar to you guys?" Elisa asked.
Neither of her brothers answered as both Nanos glared at everyone.
"Attack!" one said, raising his arms up.
Mikey backed away to Leo and Elisa.
"You know, maybe I'll join the Justice Force some other time." he said.
Sliver Sentry, Chrysalis and Tsunami all moved towards the others, with some of Ananda's smaller Domebots now with them all, before both Nanos charged forward.
"Destroy Justice Force." he said.
Leo, Mikey and Elisa all prepared themselves, when Nanos stopped, and the eyes of the main one turned blue.
"Justice Force, please, help…" he said, before his eyes turned red. "Error. Multiple targets."
His eyes moved from Sliver Sentry to Raptarr, then to Nobody, then to Ananda.
"Eliminate threats!" he said.
"Oh, no! Guys, that voice, that face..." Leo said.
He turned to his siblings, who all realized the same thing, knowing the thing they were all fighting was Nano.
"Nano?" they said.
"I knew that skill looked familiar." Elisa said.
Leo ran forward slightly, before he turned and held out his arms.
"Everyone, stop! We have to get it away from all technology!" he warned, before turning to Ananda. "Ananda, get out!"
Mikey and Elisa both approached him, before turning to Ananda.
"Nano's not your run-of-the-mill giant killer robot." Mikey explained.
"He can take over any kind of technology and merge with it!" Elisa explained.
Ananda fiddled with the controls of her Domebot, which wouldn't respond.
"Warning, warning. Security breach." the computer said. "Firewall failure."
"No! It's-it's taking control of my Domebot!" Ananda exclaimed, as it moved forward.
The three Turtles moved away as it moved past them, as Sliver Sentry landed on the ground with a skid in front of it.
"Ananda, get outta there!" he yelled.
The Domebot stopped and extended cannons from its shoulders and hands, which fired at him. He brought out a shield to deflect them, but then got pulled towards the Domebot like a magnet.
"AH!" he yelped.
He and his shield hit the Domebot, which sent them and Ananda flying up towards the sky. Ananda ejected from the Domebot with a seat, before a parachute descended from it, then it lowered her down towards the ground. Sliver Sentry spun around and threw the Domebot away, before he flew down towards the battle, Leo, Elisa and Mikey now holding Gunshin, Arashi and Inazuma.
"This doesn't make any sense. Why would Nano attack the Justice Force?" Leo wondered.
"Yeah, he always seemed like such a well-adjusted little rampaging robot." Mikey recalled.
"Well, he doesn't sound young anymore." Elisa noted.
Metalhead jumped up and moved his hair above him like a propeller, as it dived towards the first Nano, slicing its left leg off, but the Nanobots put him back together.
"Target, Metalhead." he said. "Eliminate!"
He tried to grab Metalhead, but missed as he jumped up, then he extended his hair out, then dived down and pinned Nano, trapping him in a cage made of his hair, one going through his head. His head split in half, before a hand grabbed the spike, then he lifted his body up, knocking Metalhead onto his back, then he bent down and knocked Metalhead over him and onto his chest.
"Uh!" he moaned.
Nano pulled his wires back as he stood up, then reformed his head.
Nobody tossed several grenades at him, which hit and knocked him down onto his back, before he back flipped away onto his chest. Nano's twin then charged at Nobody, who shot cables from his wrist gauntlets, which stick to the statues of Battling Bernice and Dr. Dome, then he jumped up and put them together to make a tightrope, as Nano's twin nearly pounced on him. He turned around on it as Nano's twin turned to him, while the three Turtles moved away, then he backed flipped away as Nano's twin tried to grab him, before the cables cut him in half, the top half nearly hitting Nobody.
Before Nobody could get up and move, both halves of Nano's twin connected together via its wires, then they trapped him inside its body.
"Nobody!" Elisa cried.
Nano's twin got up as Dr. Dome's statue fell over, then the three Turtles all jumped away as Nano turned around to them. It walked forward, then roared as Chrysalis got in front of it, her arms crossed over. She spread them out, sending sonic waves from her body at it, which made it shatter into pieces, freeing Nobody, who landed on his feet and breathed hard.
"Now that's a Justice Force rescue." Mikey remarked.
Leo and Elisa both waved Gunshin and Arashi around, knocking some of the pieces of Nano's twin away, before a big piece hit Mikey, knocking him away.
"Mikey!" Elisa cried, turning to him.
Leo turned as Mikey and the rubble hit the ground, then Mikey pulled it off him, showing his costume had been shredded, with only part of his cape left.
"Oh, no! Not my costume!" he whined, throwing the cape away.
Nano fired lasers from his shoulder cannon at Chrysalis, who flew away slightly to avoid them, one hitting the legs of the statue of Zippy-Lad, which fell over and smashed.
"Ah, my favorite statue!" Zippy-Lad groaned, slamming his fist into his wheelchair.
Chrysalis powered up her hand behind Nano, before his body broke apart, then parts of him reformed on the ground into a fist, which punched her.
"Ah!" she moaned, flying away.
She hit the statue of Battling Bernice, smashing its left leg off, before she hit the East River. The statue fell over and smashed as Nano reformed, then his fist turned into another clone of him.
Raptarr flew to the head of Zippy-Lad's statue and picked it up with his feet, then he flew up with it.
"AH!" he gritted.
He flew towards Nano from behind, as Nano's twin fired his shoulder laser, then he dropped the statue onto Nano, smashing them both while creating a smokescreen.
Sliver Sentry flew Ananda down towards the Turtles, before putting her down, then he flew towards Nano. He landed in front of Nano, who then tried to whack him, but he grabbed his claw arm and held it back.
"Ananda, you can communicate with machines, right?" Leo asked, as Ananda touched her forehead, making her eyes glow. "Talk to it, talk to Nano. We think he's being controlled."
Ananda could sense something inside Nano as Sliver Sentry kept him back.
"You're right. There's a control chip on one of the Nanobots. It's spreading a foreign program through its system." Ananda explained, lowering her hands, turning her eyes back to normal. "I can sense it, but it's blocking me."
"The chip will have to be destroyed at the source." Leo realized, taking Gunshin out.
"Well, that's easier said than done, Leo." Elisa said.
"Yeah, it's Nano small." Mikey said, as they walked forward. "How the shell are we supposed to… to…"
Nano whacked Sliver Sentry away with his arm.
"AH!" he yelled.
Molecluo came flying out of the cape, before they both hit the ground.
"Ah!" Sliver Sentry moaned.
He back flipped and managed to land crouched down, then flew off, as Molecluo hit the ground on his back, then returned to normal size.
"Wait...?" Mikey said, staring at him.
His siblings turned to him, as he had an idea.
"Guys, I so have a plan." he said. "Trust me?"
"It better be a quick one." Leo said, as Nano growled.
"And a good one!" Elisa added sternly.
They all ran towards Molecluo, then Leo and Mikey held up his belt, as Elisa held Leo's arm.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Leo sighed.
"Same here." Elisa said.
"Come on, how hard can it be?" Mikey asked.
They all jumped towards Nano, landing behind him, then jumped up and dived towards him as he approached Ananda, Elisa grabbing Leo's hand as she did. Both her brothers pressed the belt, then they all shrunk down to tiny size and entered Nano via his neck.
"AHH!" he yelped.
The Turtles all zipped through his systems, before they arrived at a junction full of parts and cables, landing on a platform.
"Alright, we've gotta find the Nanobot with the control chip on it." Leo said, as Elisa let go of him.
Several Nanobots dissolved from their components into their original appearance and began to move towards the three of them, followed by many more.
"Uh, Leo, I think it might find us." Mikey gulped.
"For once I agree with Mikey." Elisa said.
She and Leo took out their weapons, then swarms began to cover them both.
"AHH!" they yelled.
Mikey whacked a few with his right arm, before several began to cover him.
"Ah!" he yelped.
He saw the one with the control chip moving towards them all.
"There it is!" he said.
He stretched his right arm out to grab the control chip, as the Nanobots begin to swarm all over him.
Outside, Ananda backed away from Nano, as the other Justice Force members watched.
"Ananda, look out!" Sliver Sentry warned.
Nano growled, before his eyes turned blue, then he fell to his knees, as the three Turtles came out of him, Elisa having herself wrapped around Leo, as he and Mikey held Molecluo's belt.
"Got it." Mikey said, opening his hand, seeing the control chip.
Nanobots came out of the remains of Nano's twins, which shot upwards, as the Justice Force gathered together, Raptarr clutching his shoulder. Tsunami helped Chrysalis over on a water wave bridge, just as the Nanobots stopped, showing a new body for Nano, which twirled around. It was gold, with black bits on the arms, legs and torso, blue lights on its wrists and boots, blue eyes, and had a red letter 'N' on its chest. He slowly dropped towards the ground, landing in front of the Justice Force - expect Ananda.
"Now to finish this fiend." Sliver Sentry said.
The Turtles all ran in front of Nano.
"No! It's okay." Leo said.
"He didn't mean any of this." Elisa swore.
Ananda ran towards her teammates.
"I've been in communication with him." she explained. "He doesn't want to fight. He's not evil."
Nano put his head down shamefully, as the Turtles stood around him. (Elisa was on Leo's right)
"Yeah, Nano's a good kid." Mikey explained. "He just fell in with a bad crowd. He been manipulated his whole life, but you guys, you could help him."
"He was used due to him having the mind of a child, and didn't know what was right and wrong." Elisa added. "You guys can help him out there."
"Thank you, Justice Force, and thank you, Turtle creatures." Nano said, as he began to look between them. "My programming has evolved much since my previous encounters with you. I apologize for my...lack of maturity."
He walked over to the Justice Force.
"That was some good thinking there, Mikey." Leo remarked, touching his shoulder. "Way to go."
"I gotta admit, that was pretty impressive." Elisa admitted.
"It's just your classic good robot under evil control forced to attack superhero scenario. No biggie." Mikey said, folding his arms. "Now, let's talk about my membership."
He began to approach the Justice Force, as Leo and Elisa turned to each other.
"Oh, brother." Elisa sighed. "So much for me thinking he'd give this up."
Later, the Turtles - expect Mikey - were all watching TV in the lair, which showed a news report about the Justice Force, who stood outside the tower, including Nano.
"And, with the addition of this mysterious Nano, the Justice Force completed its membership drive." the Newswoman reported, as Nano and Sliver Sentry shook hands.
Raph, Donnie and Cath all turned to Leo and Elisa in shock.
"Nano?" they questioned.
"Don't ask?" Leo requested, waving his hand.
"Yeah? It's a long story, guys." Elisa assured, turning away slightly.
"But... I thought he was..." Cath began.
"Well, he's not." Elisa said. "But I'll tell you this, he's matured since the last time we met."
"He sure has." Leo said.
"What's the matter, Mikey?" Raph asked, turning right. "Didn't make the cut?"
Mikey entered the room, wearing a new and improved Turtle Titan costume. This one was mostly green, which covered him completely, had a black and orange cape, black boots and gloves, and an orange 'T' on the chest and top of the mask.
"In your dreams, your wannabe." he said, getting their attention. "The Turtle Titan is an official member of the Justice Force."
"Really?" Cath scoffed. "Then why aren't you out there with the others?"
Mikey began to pace in front of his siblings.
"Well, I'm only on duty every third Wednesday of every fourth month and February 29th, when there is one." he explained.
Raph groaned and shook his head.
"And I thought his old costume looked bad. That's even worse." Elisa sighed, facepalming herself.
