In the Streets of Chinatown, the three Purple Dragons were hiding in an alley, looking at the Museum across the street, "So how are we gonna break into the museum, Fong?" Sid asked their de facto leader.
Fong then held up a key, "You wanna steal from a museum, steal a key," He said with a smirk as his comrades smirked as well.
On rooftops, April and Tal were rushing from building to building before they stopped at a corner and pulled out their Binoculars, "Any sign of Miwa, O'Neil?" Tal asked.
"Not yet." April answered. "You know, you think a white snake mutant would be easy to spot on." She commented.
"Well, Miwa was pretty slippery even before her mutation." Tal commented before she noticed a trashcan shaking, "Wait, I found her!"
They then saw a black alley cat coming out of the trash before running off, "Yeah you did. If she was a cat," April said sarcastically.
"Hey, give me a break. Miwa usually sticks to the shadows and we've seen how quick she is as a snake." Tal said in defense. "And right now, any noise could be her or not."
"Well, better search harder then. Because we have a large city to cover." April said before Tal secretly slapped her, which made April yelp as she glared at her as Tal chuckled while looking out to the city.
"That is not true!" Donnie's voice called as the two turned and saw him and Casey flipping over the ceiling window on another building. "I've gone through years of intense physical training. Ninjas are some skilled athletes on the planet!" He exclaimed to Casey.
Donnie then jumped over the building and landed on a tarp before jumping to a fire escape, which he clipped with flips as he landed on his feet behind the girls as he turned to them, and gave them a charming look while April and Tal blushed and applauded.
"You're just, like, flipping around, dude!" Casey called from across the street as they turned to him. "Now this is how Casey Jones crosses rooftops!" He called as he jumped down and skated on a wire as he made it to the other building while wheeling and kneeling in front of April with a smile.
"Lame," Donnie commented while crossing his arms.
"Can you two keep it down?!" April questioned the two boys.
"We're supposed to be looking for Miwa. And it's gonna be hard to find a slippery, scaly mutant in the big apple, while you two are goofing around." Tal pointed out as she gestured to the city. "And thanks to your racket, she could be anywhere now!"
Donnie rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry girls, I didn't mean too-" He tried to apologize.
"Casey Jones apologizes." Casey said with a smirk while getting next to April. "Peace hug?" He offered as he wrapped April in a hug, which surprised her.
Donnie looked angry before Tal went up to him, "Oh don't worry Donnie, you get one too," She said before giving him a hug of her own as Donnie sighed happily.
April saw this as she gave a glare at Tal while the islander turtle gave the O'Neil girl a smirk before they heard someone picking a lock as they all looked down and saw the purple dragons breaking into a china shop. "The Purple Dragons!" Donnie said in surprise as the four broke the hug.
"Yes!" April whispered in relief. "Peace hug's over. Let's go!" She called as they all rushed to the shop while Tal growled at her.
In the museum, the Purple Dragons bust into what appears to be a museum section as the three look around before spotting a dagger. "Wow!" Fong called in amazement as they went up to it. "Sturanko's gonna pay through the roof. We hit the motherlode!" He called.
"Yeah?" The three thugs turned and saw Casey standing behind them, "Well you're about to be hit by a motherload of Casey Jones!" He declared.
"And a motherlode of Donnie, too!" Donnie called as he pushed Casey aside and twirled his staff.
"What the…?" Casey tried to say before Tal jumped in front of him with her bow aimed.
"With a side serving of Tal!" The periwinkle-clad turtle declared.
"Excuse me?" April added walking up from behind the boys.
"And April." Tal finished as April gave her a look before she drew her fan as the Purple Dragons started fighting as Tsoi threw a vase at them, but Casey blocked it with his sports glove as they all charged at them as the four fought the three goons as they were taking them down one by one as Casey saw that Donnie pushed Fong back, but just as Fong was about to hit him, Casey pushed Donnie aside and whacked Fong to the ground.
"I had him! Why'd you do that!?" Donnie questioned Casey.
"I saved you from a kick in the head!" Casey retorted.
"Oh, you were just trying to impress the girls and I-" Donnie was about to complain before the two girls got between them.
"Nice job, guys!" April yelled, which caused the two boys to flinch as they looked and saw the section a mess while the Purple Dragons are gone.
"You boneheads let them get away!" Tal exclaimed in frustration as the two boys gave sheepish looks.
In an alley, the Purple Dragons caught their breath after escaping the two turtles and their human friends. "Oh, man! We got nothing!" Sid complained.
"That's cause you two are losers, yo!" Fong said as he turned to them to show the dagger they were meant to get. "Check it out!" He declared before he tried to pull it out but the rust built on it kept it in place.
Once he got it out though, the blade bounced off a wall and landed on the ground before it started glowing blue, and a laugh was heard from it, the purple dragons then saw the ghostly figure of a man dressed in robes rise up with lightning shooting out from him, "Greetings, Purple Dragons," The man said with a grin, "You may now bow before your new master, Ho Chan!" He declared while laughing but stopped when the Purple Dragons just stared at him, "I said bow!" He ordered as he shot lightning from his hands at the three, causing them to bow immediately.
A bit later, the rest of the Turtles, Robyn and Keno were jumping on rooftops as they regrouped with Tal, Donnie, April, and Casey. "You guys have any luck?" Leo asked.
"No sign of Miwa." Tal shook her head.
"But, we just had a crazy run-in with the Purple Dragon Gang." Donnie added.
"Aw, man! You beat them up without me?" Raph complained while twirling his sai. "What kind of friends are you?"
"We almost had them until these two goofballs let them get away!" April retorted with her arms crossed while gesturing to the two boys.
"Along with an ancient relic from the Chinatown Museum," Tal added with a look and hands on her hips as the boys looked sheepish.
"Ah, it's no big deal, girls." Mikey waved off. "Those guys are, like, a level one boss battle. Who cares about the Purple Dragons and an ancient relic anyways?" He shrugged.
Back with the three purple dragons, they are looking at the Chinese ghost man. "What are you, man? Some kind of ghost?" Fang questioned in slight fear.
"You can call me Ho Chan." Ho Chan greeted them with a smile. "I was once the greatest practitioner of the most ancient form of martial arts!" He called while doing some moves while also making some noise. "Which to the ignorant, untrained eye…" He started as he then formed four green balls on his hands. "...looks like magic." He finished with a chuckle while the Purple Dragons just looked at him in amazement before Ho Chan gave a frustrated grumble "I would have been ruler of this universe, had I not been trapped in this ancient dagger thousands of years ago!" He cried out dramatically while bringing the dagger to him as he sobbed.
But then Ho Chan moved closer to the three goons as he gave a chuckle. "We are not so different. Besides the fact that you are all simpering idiots." He said as he leaned back as Fong
frowned at that insult.
"What does simpering mean?" Sid asked Fong.
"But I can make you buffoons strong! Powerful!" Ho Chan declared as he placed the dagger on his belt. "If you serve me!" He bargained.
The Purple Dragons immediately accepted, "Heck yeah!/Sign me up!/I'm down!" They exclaimed eagerly.
"As you wish." Ho Chang said as he summoned electricity from his fingers and shot them at the Purple Dragons, who cried out as they were floated up. "Moron, I grant you the power of Lightning!" Fong then got a straw hat while his fists sparked with electricity, "Stupid idiot, you become thunder!" Cid got a straw hat too as he created a ball of stormy energy which exploded on the ground when he threw it, "And Numbskull, you are wind!" Like the other two, Tsoi had a straw hat while spinning around in a tornado.
The three then bowed down before the spirit, "Listen. Together, we will conquer the world, now go find me a lair of opulent beauty, worthy of my divine power!" Ho Chan ordered as he laughed evilly.
A bit later, the Purple Dragons led Ho Chen to their Cookie Factory hideout and the ghost was less than pleased, "What the heck is this? This is your lair of opulent beauty?!" Ho-Chan asked as he looked at the objects around with some rats crawling around as he shivered a bit. "Well, it will serve." He conceded, seeing that the factory will have to do.
In the Lair, the turtles are sitting around in thought while thinking of where Miwa would be. "You think we missed someplace?" Jenny questioned while rubbing her chin.
"You guys, we've been at this for a week straight." Donnie said in defeat. "Maybe Miwa's gone for good."
"No, we can't give up." Vee declared determinedly. "She's out there in the city somewhere. We're just not searching hard enough."
"Okay, dudes. Let's use our awesome deduction skills." Mikey said as he stood up. "Where do snakes hang out? Swamps, deserts, forests, pizzerias, ice cream parlors, the arcade…"
"Mikey, those last three aren't snake habitats." Tal pointed out with a brow. "They're Mikey habitats."
"Oh right." Mikey said before he ate another slice of pizza before Olly and Leo came in with frowns.
"How is Master Yoshi?" Naomi asked in concern as they looked towards the dojo where Splinter was meditating.
"He's been like that for days." Leo answered sadly.
"Ever since Miwa's mutation, he's been distancing himself." Olly added. "He's been meditating from day to night just to process what happened."
"Miwa's mutation really messed him up." Raph stated.
"Sensei's not messed up. He's just healing his spirit." Leo said in defense.
"It's not easy when you just got your daughter, only for her to be lost again." Ames said sadly.
"I don't like to see him like this." Mikey said sadly as he sat down. "Let's keep searching."
"We could really use Casey, April, Keno, and Robyn's help." Jenny said. "Where are they anyway?"
"I think they're hanging out at the ice rink." Raph said as Donnie stood up.
"That's a great idea! We could split them up into teams!" Donnie said with a smile.
"It would give us more ground to cover to search the city for Miwa." Tal said while rubbing her chin. "With each of us into a team, we'll find her faster, and Donnie and I can talk about making Miwa's retro-mutagen,"
"Good call." Olly said while rubbing his chin. "We better get going. The sooner we search, the better chance we'll find Miwa faster. Let's move." He said as they all walked out of the Lair and into the Shellraiser.
In the Cookie Factory, Ho Chan ate some fortune cookies before he then read the fortune that said, 'You will be surrounded by great opulence.' before he looked around at the mess of the factory as he grumbled and crumpled up the fortune.
Meanwhile, Fong was playing with his new powers, zapping a table before it exploded, "Man, I'm incredible! Check me out!" He cheered in a disoriented voice as floated up before a thunderball shot him aside.
"Hahaha! Busted up your little lightning bolt, Fong!" Sid mocked as the two were about to fight before Tsoi used his wind element to make the two fly into a wall before they crashed into the floor.
"Wind blows away lightning and thunder!" Tsoi exclaimed. "Wind rules!" He called before he was hit by both lighting and thunder attacks as the three started clashing elements.
"Stop messing around!" Ho-Chan ordered as the Purple Dragons' eyes glowed and flew over to him, "Now I need you to perform a very special task for me: I need a girl with a very special hidden power that will return me to my physical form." He instructed as he concentrated and searched for his target, "I see a girl with golden yellow hair, and a pink jacket, with the number 2 printed on it," He said while focusing, "Her name is…"
"Robyn O'Neil." He finished while Robyn was with her sister, Irma, Casey, and Keno on the ice rink while April was struggling to skate.
"You're doing a great job, sis." Robyn said to her, skating next to her.
"No, I'm not! Whoa!" April cried as she struggled to get her balance before she crashed into Irma while the other three cringed.
"Nic landing, April!" Irma retorted.
"Maybe next, you should teach an ice cube to skate." Keno joked as he, Robyn, and Casey skated to them.
"Very funny, Keno." April muttered as she and Irma were helped up.
"Not everybody can be as cool on ice as Casey Jones." Casey said with a smirk. "I was practically born in the rink. My old man was on a pro hockey team. Have I ever tell you that?" He asked.
"Like 50 times a week, Casey." Robyn said dully. "We heard it everyday."
The three girls then went up to the bench as they took off their skates. "Honestly, girls, I have no idea what you two see in that guy." Irma said as thunder could be heard as they turned and saw the Purple Dragons burst through the ceiling and floated down to the ground as Fong sparked up with lightning.
"Purple Dragons!?" April exclaimed in shock.
"Here?!" Robyn asked in shock as well.
"Ha! You losers just got your butts kicked." Casey said as he and Keno skated around with hockey sticks."Now you're coming to my house?" He asked with a smirk.
"And what's with the hats? You going to a party or something?" Keno mocked.
"Uh, guys, do either of you happen to notice these guys are glowing and were floating down from the ceiling?" Robyn questioned nervously.
Keno and Casey kept their smirk as they skated forward and the O'Neil sisters charging into battle, but Tsoi blasted the girls away with his wind powers.
Keno and Casey threw hockey pucks, but Tsoi caught it with his wind powers and threw them back, which they dodged before Sid clapped his hands, which made Keno fell back from the crack quake as Fong senses electricity at Casey, which sends him flying to the goal.
"Casey!" Keno called before Tsoi swept him up in a tornado and sent him flying into the goal, on top of Casey, "Ohhh, did these guys power up or something?" He moaned.
"Boys!" Robyn called as she, Irma, and April looked up and saw the three Purple Dragons floating over them, "Oh no you don't," She said before pushing April out of the way as Tsoi caught Robyn and Irma in his powers and lifted them up to them as they started flying to the hole.
"Help!" Irma called.
"No!" April yelled as the boys watched.
"Robyn!" Keno yelled out.
"NO!" Casey called with his arm out before he realized something. "Oh, yeah. And Irma. No." He said dully as Keno and April gave him a dull look.
"Dude, seriously?" Keno asked in disbelief.
"Casey Jones, you're something." April commented with a look.
At the Cookie Factory, the Purple Dragons brought Robyn and Irma to Ho Chan before he notice Robyn as he gave a smile. "Aha!" He cheered as he floated to Robyn. "You have power in you! A power you haven't tapped in yet. It will belong to Ho Chan, yes." He said gleefully while Robyn glared.
"I think you got your girls mixed up," Robyn snarled, "It's my sister and her psychic powers you're after. I don't have any,"
"Oh no, you do have great power, my young lady. It merely lies dormant within you." Ho Chan said with a smirk, which shocked Robyn as he then floated to Irma as he lifted up her glasses and inspects her. "And you…You have power, too. Power that I do not understand, yet." He said with a glare. "You will explain this power, or suffer my-" He was cut off when Robyn started grunting. "What?"
Robyn then kicked Sid off her as she brought out her fan. "Let's get out of here, Irma!" She called as Irma started kicking Ho Chan, but her leg went right through her.
"You're some kind of ghost?!" Irma asked in shock.
"Indeed. I have been cursed without flesh for 2000 years," Ho-Chan said as his eyes glowed and knocked Irma out before he used his powers to ensnare both Robyn and Irma in magic chains, "My power is ancient and vast, but you both exhibit a power I have never encountered. A power will that Ho-Chan will take to become flesh once more, and rule the Universe!" He declared.
"W-Wait a minute, what's that gonna do to us then?" Robyn asked nervously.
Ho-Chan opened his mouth to answer but paused and rubbed his chin, "Actually, I have no idea, it will be either you two will just be drain, or well… let's just say you'll have to get use to having no bodies," He said with a shrug, which didn't comfort Robyn at all. "Now we start the ritual!" He declared with an evil laugh.
Back at the Ice Rink, the three human teens explained to the turtles what happened, "You're saying the Purple Dragons somehow got magic powers and captured Robyn and Irma?" Tal questioned.
"Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying." Casey said.
"Please? The Purple Dragons are just third-class wannabes." Donnie stated.
"Then how do you explain the fact that they floated through the ceiling, bust it down, and shot three elements at us?" Keno questioned while pointing to the ceiling.
"Why didn't you call us for back up?" Tal questioned, "Or better yet why didn't you just run?"
"We thought we could take them." April said to them. "But then they started throwing lightning bolts, blasting winds, and even moving the ground on their own."
"Like me after I eat broccoli." Mikey said with a chuckle before Jenny smacked him in the head.
"Dude, TMI." Jenny said in annoyance.
"New powers or not, we have to rescue Robyn and Irma." Olly said.
"Maybe we can let them keep Irma in exchange for Robyn?" Casey suggested with a smile before April smacked him. "Ow!"
"Did you really just go there?" April asked him with a glare.
"Just a suggestion." Casey said with his hand raised in defense.
"Classy, Jones. Let's go!" Leo called as they all rushed out.
The turtles hid behind a wall, outside the Cookie Factory and they saw the Purple Dragons guarding the entrance, "I don't like the looks of this, guys," Vee said, feeling something different about the three street thugs.
"I like the looks of those hats," Mikey said, noting the hats the Purple Dragons were wearing, "They're awesome,"
Naomi took off her hat and looked at it's rather plain design compared to the Purple Dragon's, in concern, "They are rather impressive," She admitted to herself.
Olly held her shoulder, "I think your hat is ten times as awesome as those bozos," He said as Naomi gave a grateful smile.
"They're only loser Purple Dragons. How tough could they be?" Raph questioned as Casey then charged at them on his back.
"Casey!" April exclaimed as Casey armed his hockey stick.
"Goongala!" Casey exclaimed as Tsoi summoned a wind blast and knocked Casey back as he groaned.
"Okay, they're a little tougher than I thought." Raph admitted.
"We told you." Keno said to him as the Purple Dragons floated over them.
Fong then shot a lightning blast as they quickly dodged it, but when Donnie and Tal tried to fight him, Tsoi blew them back. Sid charged at Ames and Mikey, but they whacked him back while Olly, Vee, Naomi, and Leo fought Fong while Raph delt with Tosi before they knocked them back as the three Dragons groaned.
"Even with powers, they are still third class." Vee commented.
"Now, let's get Robyn and her friend." Leo said before Ho Chan appeared behind them.
"Behold!" Ho Chan said. "Treacherous warriors! It is said that the great turtle helped the god Pang Gu create the world. But I only have enough for three. So I'll just take, you boys!" He called as he then shot at Leo, Mikey, and Raph and lifted them up.
"Raph!" Jenny yelled.
"Mikey!" Ames cried out.
"Leo!" Vee exclaimed.
"What the heck?!" Olly called as Ho-Chan used his powers.
"Fitting that these should help Ho Chan rule it!" Ho Chan said as Mikey was given the power of wind, Leo the power the lightning, and Raph the power of Thunder as they all have the straw hats on their heads and floated up as Ho Chan laughed.
"But, Master," Fong said as Ho-Chan turned to the depowered Purple Dragons, "Why?" He asked.
"Because you're losers." Ho Chan said as he made an 'L' with his hand before he shot lightning at the three dragons as they then rushed off. "Get out of my sight before I send you to the Abyss of Infinite Morons!" He exclaimed as Keno, April, Casey, Donnie, and Tal regrouped with the rest of the Islander Turtles.
"Guys?" Donnie asked, seeing his brother flying with the hats the Purple Dragons were wearing before.
"What did you do to them!?" Naomi demanded the spirit.
"Your guys are my guys. Bye-bye for now!" Ho Chan waved before he vanished.
"Uh, guys, I think the boys are about to strike." Ames said nervously.
"We gotta go! Run!" Olly yelled as they rushed up to the Shellraiser as the three controlled turtles started firing at them as Olly got into the driver seat and drove off before he looked up at a monitor and saw the three turtles flying behind them. "They're following us!" He called before he served around to avoid the element shots.
"Let me take the wheel!" Casey called as he tried to get into the driver seat, but it made Olly lose control for a bit.
"Casey!" April yelled.
"No backseat driving!" Tal yelled next as Olly then turned a corner and hid in an alley and turned off the Shellraiser as three mind controlled turtles flew pass them.
The seven turtles and three teens sighed in relief, "Okay, a ghost holding Robyn and Irma hostage with three powered-up street thugs was one thing, but a a ghost holding Robyn and Irma hostage with three powered-up Ninja turtles is a whole different ball game," Keno said in concern.
"Sounds about right." Jenny said dully.
"At least we lost them." April said in relief.
"Yeah, but there's somebody here." Olly said as he looked at the monitor and they walked out and opened the trap claw in the Shellraiser and saw the Purple Dragons before they tossed them out. "Alright, you three are gonna talk, now!" He said firmly.
"He came out of an ancient Chinese dagger, like a spirit." Fong quickly said as he held up the cover from the dagger as Naomi took it and inspected it. "He promised us great power, but once we had it, he controlled us! All I know was his name. Ho Chan." He explained.
In the lair, the others are in Donnie's lab while doing some research on his computer while Naomi is looking through some of Splinter's scrolls she got from the dojo while Donnie saw a website of a chinese Ho Chan shop. "Nope. That's not it either." Donnie said.
"Let's try something else, Donnie." Tal suggested.
"Are we sure that was his name?" Jenny asked with her arms crossed.
"The Purple Dragons may be idiots, but they always know their boss's names." April stated.
"I know I remember that name from…wait!" Naomi then rushed to the computer, typed something up and found an article with a picture of Ho-Chan, "Here it is, Ho-Chan was an ancient martial artist and sorcerer who dates back centuries to Shang Dynasty, his skill in his signature are was so great, many mistook it for magic,"
"Ah, snap! He's Shangy!" Casey commented in amazement.
"So, we're dealing with an ancient Chinese ghost?" April asked in shock. "Now there's something new."
"First robot Ninjas, aliens from another dimension, mutant monsters, no offense." Keno quickly said to the turtles. "And now ancient sorcerer spirits from the past? What's next: Dragons?!"
"You never know." Ames said with a shrug.
"But if Ho Chan is so powerful, why would he need Robyn, and that Irma kid, to control the boys and give them these mythical powers to drive us away from him?" Jenny questioned.
"Diversions." Olly said seriously. "He wanted us to keep busy fighting the Purple Dragons, Mikey, Leo, and Raph while Chan began his real plan without any interference."
"Well, a lot of good that does us without knowing what his plans are." Jenny stated. "He's controlling the boys and now they have these elements to fry us, blast us or blow us away! How can we fight them?!"
"I don't wanna hurt, Mikey!" Ames exclaimed in worry. "He may be under a spell, but he's still my boyfriend!"
"Hey, I'm not saying we're gonna hurt them, Ames!" Jenny quickly said. "I'm saying that we're at a disadvantage with the boys now having powers."
"Does it say anything at stopping Ho Chan's controlled minions?" Vee asked Naomi, Tal, and Donnie.
"We can't. They're in some kind of super hypnotic state." Donnie stated.
"Once they enter that state, nothing can get them out of it." Tal added with a nervous look.
"Well, we can't face Ho Chan without fighting the boys, and we can't fight the boys without hurting them." Naomi said while rubbing her chin. "We will need something that even in their hypnotic trance, they wouldn't resist something they really love."
Casey thought for a moment before he saw an ad on the computer showing Antonio's Pizza that says 'Buy 1, Get 1 FREE!'. "I think I have an idea." He said before turning to Keno. "Yo, Keno, think you can slip us a few pies?" He asked with a smirk while the others looked at him in confusion.
The Shellraiser then stopped outside at the Cookie Factory, as the heroes came out and looked around, "Coast is clear," Vee said while still looking around.
"Is the manhole cover cannon loaded?" Donnie asked Keno.
"Filled to the brim with your special order," Keno answered while patting the cannon with his hand.
"Okay, Casey, Donnie, Tal, April, you four distract them while the rest of us rescue Robyn and Irma." Olly explained before April stopped him.
"That's my sister in there! You distract them, I'll go!" April exclaimed.
"Not without back up!" Tal said, "Last thing we need is to save your butt, for fiftieth time," She said dully.
"Excuse me!?" April questioned with a glare as they were both about to pounce on the other, but Casey and Donnie held them back.
"Hey, hey! Guys! Now's not the time!" Vee exclaimed. "We have to move before…" She stopped as they all froze up when they heard thunder and lightning. "They show up." She muttered.
Just then, Raph, Mikey, and Leo floated down as they each moved in sync and shot their arms up and used their elements to creat a cyclone, which got the heroes caught in it as they started swirling around and screaming.
In the Cookie Factory, Ho Chan levitated both Robyn and Irma as he made some noises and made a Chinese symbol as he shot it at Robyn, who groaned in pain as he kept the enchantment.
Outside, the heroes are screaming while they were spinning around in the cyclone. "Okay! This wasn't in our training!" Olly exclaimed as the three controlled turtles got into the eye of the cyclone.
Leo started firing lightning at them, as he blasted Casey and Keno so much their skeletons were visible, and they were sent flying back to the Shellraiser and Casey grabbed onto the roof while Keno held onto his leg.
Mikey then blew his wind powers at the others which hit them as they saw the three controlled turtles circling them as they drew their weapons. "Well, we'll just have to keep them back!" Jenny called while drawing her claws.
The group then whacked the mind control turtles back, but they were took quick and they can't keep steady while in the air before they were blasted down to the ground as they saw the three controlled turtles in front of them.
"Oh, this is gonna hurt." April muttered before the Shellraiser drove up behind them.
"Special Delivery!" Keno called from the Manhole Cover Cannon before he fired three pizzas onto the pavement.
"Pizza?" The three controlled turtles asked in shock.
"Cannot. Resist. The urge!" Mikey exclaimed as the three controlled turtles as Raph grabbed a pie, but Mikey smacked him away before Leo zapped him away.
"Keep away from it!" Leo exclaimed before Raph blasted him back.
"It belongs to me!" Raph yelled as the three started fighting over pizza while using their elements to fight each other while the others watched.
"Even in their mind controlled state, their love of pizza is really strong." Tal commented in surprise.
"Knew that would work!" Casey bragged.
"Boast about it later, Casey. Right now, we gotta rescue Robyn and Irma now!" Olly reminded them as they rushed into the Cookie Factory.
The Ten heroes rushed into the factory and up the stairs where they saw Ho-Chan, saying an incantation while draining energy from Robyn and Irma, "What's he doing to them?!" April whispered in shock.
"Nothing good, I can tell you that much," Jenny said with glare.
"Let's whack him while his eyes are closed." Casey suggested.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Donnie said nervously.
"Why's that?" Ames asked.
"Because I think he's listening to us." Donnie finished as they turned and saw Ho Chan glaring at them.
"Whack me?" Ho Chan questioned. "You don't whack a 2000-year-old master! You beg for mercy, and then you…" He continued as Robyn came to and saw the others as she gasped in worry.
"Guys! Watch out! Get out of here!" Robyn called while waving her arms.
"...I will call my servants to put an end to your physical existence, while I finish with gaining mine." Ho-Chan continued, blocking out Robyn's warning. He focused trying to connect with the turtles but got nothing, much to his confusion, "Strange. They do not respond. It's as if some power greater than my own holds them outside." He said.
"Yeah, and that power is called: Antonio's Extra Large Buy One Get One Free!" Keno declared with a smirk.
"Yeah, they'll be out for a while." Tal said with a smirk as they drew their weapons.
"Goongala!" Casey yelled as he charged at Ho Chan, but the moment he did went through Ho Chan as he gave chuckles.
"You missed!" Ho Chan said in amusement before he whacked the others away and went back to Robyn. Robyn struggled to fight, but then Ho Chan shot beams from his eyes as he hit Robyn, who groaned as some energy got drained from her and entered Ho Chan as his body began to turn fleas again slowly. "I think it's working!" He cheered happily.
"Good!" Jenny said before she punched Ho-Chan in the face.
"Ow!" Ho Chan cried as he held his arm before he realized that he felt pain as he looked at himself. "Oh? Pain? For the first time in centuries, I feel something!" He cheered happily.
"Seriously? You love feeling pain?" Ames asked in surprise.
"Well, he has been a ghost for centuries, Ames." Tal reminded him. "So who can blame him?"
"Ho-Chan is almost human once more!" Ho-Chan cheered as he dodged more of the heroes attacks, before he went on the offensive and caught, Keno, Casey, April, Jenny, and Ames in giants hands. Donnie tried to grab the dagger but he, Tal, Vee, Olly and Naomi were caught by more giant hands. "Giant hands. My contribution to the ancient arts! Yes, everyone loves giant hands!" He laughed as Robyn and Irma were free of his power.
"Irma?" Robyn asked as she held her unconscious friend before turning to the others stuck in giant hands as they struggled to break free while Naomi held the dagger she took from Ho Chan.
"Naomi, go for it!" Jenny yelled as she and her group got crushed harder.
"I will crush the loud ones first!" Ho-Chan declared holding them up.
"Hold on my friends!" Naomi said before throwing the dagger.
Ho-Chan however caught it, "No magic necessary, it's all in the reflexes,"He boasted before Robyn jumped down, snatched the dagger and jabbed it in his chest, "What?! NO!" Ho-Chan said in horror with light shooting out from him.
"Too bad my reflexes are even faster!" Robyn said with a smirk as Ho-Chan yelled and writhed in pain as he was sucked into the dagger along with all his power as blue magical seal appeared over the dagger as it dropped to the floor.
Olly quickly caught and sheathed the dagger, "Nooo…" Was the last thing Ho-Chan said before he was sealed again.
"Whoa! That was Shangy!" Casey commented as they stood up. "Awesome job, Naomi! High-three!" He called as Naomi chuckled.
"Maybe later." Naomi said as Raph, Mikey, and Leo came in, now back to normal and free from Ho Chan's control.
"Hey, everybody! Sorry we're late." Mikey said with a look. "But some people were trying to hog all the pizza." He said before Ames rushed up to him and quickly hugged him tight. "Whoa! Ames?"
"I'm so glad you're okay!" Ames cheered as she kissed Mikey's cheek.
Vee went up to Leo and hugged, "Personally I think Wind is more your element," She said as they broke away.
Leo chuckled, "Well, Raph does call me a wind bag at times," He joked, earning a look from Raph.
Jenny walked up to Raph and punched his arm, "Good to have you back Hothead," She said with a smirk.
"Good to be back," Raph said while rubbing his shoulder and turning to the others, "So, who was the hero today?" He asked.
"Wasn't any of us," Casey said.
"It was all, Robyn," Donnie added, gesturing to Robyn.
"Ho-Chan was about to crush into powder if she hadn't jumped in," Tal explained.
"That's why you can always count on her," April finished as she turned to Robyn, "Peace hug!" She declared before she, Casey, Tal and Donnie incased Robyn in a group hug.
Robyn gave a pained grunt and smile from the pressure, "Okay, you can stop. Kinda need oxygen here," She said to the four.
They then heard a groan and turned to see Irma stumbling down the stairs. The turtles then made a break for the exit while the four humans rushed to Irma, with April catching her, "Where'd the weirdo, go?" She mumbled dizzily.
"You got a bad bump on your head, Irma," April covered up with a smile, "Whatever you saw was just a nightmare," She said as she, her sister and the two boys winked at each other.
At sunrise in the docks, the turtles are walking up to the edge of the docks. "Hold on, fellas. Just have to take care of one last thing." Olly said as he held up the dagger containing Ho Chen.
"Please! I can make you powerful, rich! Whatever you desire! Seriously!" Ho Chen pleaded while Olly looked at the dagger with rolled eyes.
"The only thing we want is for you to be lost forever." Olly said firmly. "So, Ho Chen, begone!" He yelled as he then tossed the dagger away.
"NOOOOO!" Ho Chen yelled as the dagger twirled in the air before they watched it fall into the ocean as it sank to the bottom. "I will return!" His final vow was yelled as loudly as he could before the dagger was forever lost.
Olly turned to the others with a small smile and raised a thumbs up, knowing that Ho Chen was now gone for good with the dagger lost to the deep. "Now with that taken care of, let's get back to hunting for Miwa," Olly said as the others nodded in agreement.
But before they could leave, an eagle cry was heard as they looked up and saw an Eagle flying around.
"An Eagle? In New York?" Donnie said in confusion.
"Wait, I know that bird," Vee said while squinting her eyes.
The eagle then flew down to Raph, before it started fluttering its wings and scraping its talons on Raph's shell. "Hey! Get lost! I'm not some mouse!" Raph yelled before the eagle took one of his sais from his belt in its talons and flew off. "Hey! Why you little-! Stop, thief!" He called as he raced to the edge of the docks as the eagle flew out of range. "Come back here with my Sai!" He demanded while shaking his fist.
"What was that about?" Mikey asked in surprise."Donnie, have you ever seen an eagle that steals ninja weapons before?" Leo questioned in wonder.
"Well, eagles are known to steal fish or other prey from other predators but I don't know why it would want something that tastes like Leather and Raph's sweat," Donnie said before Raph smacked him.
"Dude, I cleaned the sai!" Raph exclaimed in annoyance, "And I want it back!" He then turned and saw Vee look at where the Eagle flew off. "What are you gawking at, Vee?" He questioned.
"Call me crazy, but it feels like I know that eagle somewhere before." Vee said while looking out in the distance.
'Wait, doesn't our father have a pet eagle?" Ames asked her brother and sisters.
"He does, yes." Tal said in thought while rubbing her chin before the Islander turtles' eyes widened as they looked off to where the eagle flew off to as the four turtles gave confused expressions.
"Uh, what are you guys talking about?" Leo asked in confusion.
"I think that was my father's eagle, Leo." Olly said in surprise. "He must've sent it to search for us."
"Wait, so that would mean that…" Mikey trailed off in shock.
"Our tribe will come for us." Naomi finished as they all looked ahead in the distance while feeling surprised that the tribe sent the eagle to search for their own.
"Well, they better give me my sai back when I see them!" Raph yelled while the others just gave him bored expressions. "What?! It's my favorite!" He called in defense.
Meanwhile, in a forest on a large, unknown island, at the top of a tree, an adult male mutant turtle jumped up and surveyed the area. He was dressed in black bandages and shoulder and leg armor, a black mask with tattered bandanas, an eye patch over his left eye, and two massive swords on his shell.
He gazed over the forest as if waiting for something before he saw his eagle flying toward him. The bird flew to him with a cry, tossing the weapon in its talons to him. He looked at the Sai carefully, even sniffing it before his eyes widened in realization before he leapt down where other turtles were waiting for him. One of them was a female who wore white shoulderless sleeves with silver markings and a matching mask that covered the top of her head. Another had a blood-red mask with gold highlights, three scars over his right eye, and obsidian armor on his arms and legs.
The black-clad turtle then tossed the Sai to the white-masked turtle, "Tell me, what do you see on this?" He questioned as the turtle picked up something on the sai and rubbed it against her fingers.
"English Oak," She noted before realizing, "From the Americas!"
Another turtle took the Sai while one other plucked a hair from it, "Brown rodent hair. Urban Street Rat," The turtle with the hair added.
The turtle, still holding the Sai, took a sniff before turning to the Black-clad turtle, "Metal and oil, from human machinery," He said before handing the Sai back to their leader.
The red naked turtle sniffed the weapon and flinched back. "And apparently, it smells like it came from a sewage plant." He said in disgust before turning to the leader, "Orimura, you know this not one of ours," He said.
"No, it is not, Ryuga," Orimura said as he inspected the sai. "This sai came from a city in the American mainland. Where my son and daughters wait for us."
The white-clad turtle's eyes widened, "The children? Are you certain?" She asked hopefully.
"There is no denying it, Dariyasa. I sense their aura all over this weapon," Orimura confirmed before giving a serious look, "But, I also sense that our ancient enemy, The Foot Clan, also dwells where this came from,"
"We've managed to avoid them for centuries," Ryuga stated. "And we can just as easily continue until Olivier and the girls return.
Orimura, however, shook his head, "No. The only way to ensure the children's safety is to journey to this city and rescue them," he said, looking in the direction his eagle came from before turning back to the Sai, "Besides, the young warrior will be missing his weapon." He then turned to them with a small smile. "It's only honorable that we return it to him."
"You know that once we do this, the Shredder will come for us," Dariyasa reminded the leader.
"I am aware of this risk, my love, but for our children it is worth it," Orimura said before nodding to her, "And you knew that someday we would have to reveal ourselves and finish this war," He added firmly.
Dariyasa gave a determined look and nodded back, "Then let us not waste any more time," She said before she brought her hands together and chanted something in ancient japanese as around her skin white markings appeared while beneath her feet, bluish-green vein-like lines spread along the ground.
Suddenly, the land around them began to shake and tremble, as beneath the waves of the island, a pair of eyes glowed before the entire landmass started moving through the ocean.
Orimura nodded to Dariyasa, who finished her chant and stopped glowing, before he turned to Ryuga, "Prepare our rescue team when we arrive," He ordered as the red-clad turtle bowed and left with the others as Orimura and Dariyasa looked in the direction they were moving, "The time of hiding in our shells is over," He said with determination.
"It is time to show the Foot that the spirit of the Hamato Clan still lives," Dariyasa said as the island moved across the ocean towards New York, they were determined to rescue their children and finally defeat their ancient enemy once and for all.
