In the Turtles hut, they were watching Channel Six new as Carlos was reporting with a vacant expression. "Ever since the invasion that is known as the invasion of New York, humans want to know what is going on. Everything is.. fine. No humans are allowed in or out of the city until Kraa.. uh.. the military know what to do with it. This is Carlos, Kraang o Brian Gambe…" Carlos said as the others were watching.
"Hmm, does the news guy seem a little Kraangy to you?" Mikey asked curious until Mikey hit him over the head with a magazine.
"A little? What are you on a pepperoni?" Raph asked, annoyed with him.
"Clearly the Kraang must've spared him to keep the rest of the world from even questioning what's really going down in New York." Olly said with a serious look.
"And while the Kraang keeps the other countries off their backs, Shredder is free to use whatever's in the city for himself," Vee added with a scowl.
"The Kraang and Shredder may have the rest of the world fooled," April said seriously. "But not us."
Orimura nodded, "Which is we must stop them now before the true invasion begins," He stated.
"We must return to New York, Locate Splinter and drive the Kraang out of the Earth once and for all!" Leatherhead declared, clenching his fist.
"That's what we're gonna do." Robyn said before she turned to Leo. "What's the plan, Leo?"
"Step one is: Storm the castle walls." Leo said before turning to Tal and Donni. "Donnie? Tal?"
"We made some plans on upgrading the Party Wagon." Tal said as she and Donnie showed the blueprints.
"It's not as heavily armored as the Shellraiser, but maneuverable, has more weapons, and gets better gas mileage." Donnie said as he put some blueprints of the party wagon with some upgrades on the table.
"It will take some time before we arrive to New York, use that time to build this vehicle," Dariyasa as she stepped out to contact Aspidochelone.
"Then let's stop jabbering and build this sucka!" Casey said confidently.
In Tal's lab, the heroes all started upgrading the Party Wagon by removing its hipster paint job while also adding in some built-in weapons, armor, and new tires while Tal, Donnie, and Dr. Cluckingsworth installed the computer A.I into its system.
Later Orimura and Dariyasa arrived to check their progress, "So?" Orimura asked.
"Ladyhumans and Gentlmutants, I give you the new and improved Party Wagon!" Donnie declared, gesturing to the upgraded Party Wagon.
"It's so awesome!" Raph cheered.
"Mmm," Orimura said with a small nod.
A turtle warrior then rushed over and kneeled down, "Grandmaster, we are approaching New York," The turtle reported, "We should be there in less than an hour,"
"Sounds like we finished just in time," Olly said with a serious tone. "Alright, team, let's do this!" He declared as they did a group High-three.
A bit later, the heroes were packing their gear while Casey is attaching the Hot Rod to the Party Wagon as Ryuga spoke up to Olly. "We can get you outside of the city's borders, but you'll have to enter the city itself on your own." He said to them.
"Which is good cause we need to make sure we keep a low profile." Olly said with a nod. "With the City under enemy control, a squad of giant birds would be a dead giveaway."
"But remember, it will not belong before the enemy knows we have return," Orimura explained, "Get into the city, find Hamato Yoshi and return to the island, as quickly and silently as possible,"
"Getting into the city would be an easy way, father. But getting out would be tricky." Olly said to him. "If we even leave, we might not be able to get back into the city the same way a second time. Once we return, we need to find an outpost, a temporary hideout to lay low and keep in contact with you while fighting the Kraang and Foot."
As they were talking, Mikey was talking to Ice Cream Kitty, "Don't you worry, Ice Cream Kitty, we're getting our home back real soon," He promised as ICK meowed.
Tal and Donnie kneeled down to Dr. Cluckingsworth. "We'll be back, Dr. Cluckingsworth," Tal said with a smile.
"You take care while we're gone." Donnie said as he and Tal nuzzled the mutated chicken.
"You three sicken me," Raph said as he and Jenny walked off.
"It's a bit disturbing," Jenny added as they walked up to the Party Wagon.
Leo turned to Orimura and Dariyasa while the others stood with him, "Grandmaster Orimura, Grand Mistress Dariyasa, thank you, for everything." He said while bowing in respect while his brothers and friends did the same.
"Think nothing of it, Leonardo," Orimura said, placing a hand on Leo's shoulder, "As I said before, we merely repaid the kindness you showed our children," He said with a smile.
"But it seems in process we've grown to care about you as well," Dariyasa said as she looked at the four brothers with a motherly smile, "And if I ever had four other sons, along with Olivier and my daughters, it would've been a great honor if they were like you,"
The four smiled at their words and pulled them into a hug, which surprised them as they returned the gesture. "We will be back." He said as he broke the hug.
"We know, now go. Find your father and save the city." Orimura said as they nodded and entered the party wagon while the Hot Rod and Trailer was attached to the back to hold the islander turtles and Leatherhead.
"Here we come, New York City!" Mikey cheered with excitement as Ryuga and his team's Roc then lifted the three vehicles into the air and flew off in the direction of the mainland.
As the Shell Tribe watched them fly away, Dariyasa held her hands close to her chest with a worried expression, "Please, great ancestors, ensure that my children return home safely," She prayed as Orimura held her close.
As the Rocs flew over the front of the Island, Aspidochelone raised his head from the water, and the heroes looked down at him, "Good Luck, young ones. And may the spirit of our greatest warriors be with you," Aspidochelone said.
"Thanks, Aspidocheone," Olly said as they flew off to the mainland.
Soon, the Rocs reached the main bridge leading to New York as they flew close to the ground, "I see New York," April said, squinting a bit, "We're almost there!" She pointed ahead to the darkened city, illuminated only by the purple glow in the streets.
"Oh, are you sure that's New York?" Keno asked in concern.
"Ryuga, take us down!" Olly called out.
"Alright. Have fun down there, kids." Ryuga said as he and the three Rocs flew down and gently placed the three vehicles on the main bridge just outside the city. "Good luck finding Master Yoshi and his daughter. Come back once you have found an outpost."
"We will," Leo promised before the Rocs flew back to the Island and Party Wagon drove towards the city, "Alright, team, first we track down Master Splinter, find an outpost, hunt for Miwa, free the City from the Kraang and take Shredder down once for all." He instructed.
"Easy Peasy," Robyn said as they approached the gates with serious expressions.
"So what's the plan, fearless leaders? Ninja-y or all-out attack?" Raph asked eagerly.
"Ninja-y, we park at the gate and sneak in," Leo said firmly.
"Then we split up and search for Master Splinter," Olly instructed.
"And our father.." April said while Robyn comforted her sister right before a light blinded them.
Casey stopped the vehicle as a lot of lights shone down on them. "Okay, not good," Donnie said nervously.
"Oh, man! They've got us dudes!" Mikey cried out while clutching Ames' arm. "The gig is up, dude! Home slice!" He cried out before Ames quickly covered Mikey's mouth.
"Mikey, stay quiet! I don't think it's the Kraang or the Foot." Ames said as they saw the Earth Protection Forest coming out from the roof.
"It's the Earth Protection Force," Keno said in realization.
"Citizen!" A soldier yelled as he walked up to the Party Wagon. "This is EPF quarantine of sector 7-b. Roll down your window." He ordered and Casey did so. "Authorized personnel only; no one goes in or out of the city."
"Whatever you say, army dude," Casey said casually as the soldier walked away; April looked closer and saw he had a mind control device on his neck.
"You see that? It's a Kraang mind control device; I bet they all have 'em." April said as Mikey looked worried.
"They're all controlled? Like, Invasion of the Brain Suckers?" Mikey asked, worried, as Raph brought him down; more soldiers came up and readied their weapons.
Olly sensed it as he gave a serious look. "No time for nice and easy." He said before calling out. "Casey, punch it!"
"No need to tell me twice!" Casey shouted as he stepped on the gas, everyone screamed as the van took off at high speeds.
"What are you doing, Casey?!" Robyn asked in surprise as all the soldiers were firing at them. Casey put down a shield for the windshield and drove straight through the door, smashing it down, and they drove into the city as the army was firing at them until they were gone.
They all had made it into the city and saw it was almost abandoned. There were Kraang crystals on the streets, and the power was out completely as the three vehicles drove down the road. "What were you thinking, man? You got any brains behind that hockey mask?" Raph asked, annoyed, hitting his head.
"I had no choice, Raph; they were powering up their blasters," Casey said in defense.
"It doesn't matter if we had left, they would still have fired at us, we had no choice but to strike first," Leatherhead said seriously as they drove through the empty city.
"Guys? Where are all the people?" Donnie asked in confusion, as there were humans or Kraang hybrids anywhere.
"Even if the Kraang and Foot took over, there's not even a single person on the streets," Vee said with the same expression.
"You.. you think the Kraang mutated…everyone?" Mikey asked in fear.
"No way, not possible." Leo refused to believe it, Robyn and April used they're powers to sense them.
"I'm afraid…it is possible," Robyn said sadly as she couldn't feel even a thousand people.
"There are only a few hundred people left in the entire city. They're gone." April said stunnedly. "Millions of people are just…gone."
"It's worse than we thought," Olly said with a serious tone. "With the three months since we've been gone, they must've hunted down everyone in the city." He added as all of them looked down before they turned into an alley.
"Well, one good thing; we haven't run into Foot or Kraanngg…" Mikey trailed off as a patrol of Kraang moved in front of them. "Oh no! Why'd I open my big mouth?!" Mikey yelled in exasperation.
"We ask ourselves that every time you open your big mouth!" Jenny retorted.
The Kraang then started firing at the Party Wagon, "It is the humans know as Casey Jones, Keno Andrada, and April and Robyn O'Neil!" One Kraang said as the Party Wagon reversed and tried to drive away only to be surrounded again. "Kraang! Eliminate for Kraang!"
"Manned the defensive!" Leo called out.
"Readying soda cannons!" Mikey said as he placed some jars onto the soda cannons.
"Loading breath mints!" Donnie called out as he spun a pack in his fingers and placed them on the jar, which caused the sodas to fizzle up as they opened the doors and ready the cannons at the Kraang.
"Fire!" Mikey called as he and Donnie fired pellets at the Kraang, which knocked a couple down while one of them hit a Kraang directly in the eye.
"It's stings! It's stings!" The Kraang cried out in pain as it wobbled around and shot a few of its own by accident.
"Bomb-apult, lock and loaded." Raph said as he jumped down from the roof and pulled on a lever. "Launch!" He called as he pulled a lever, which released a container that is labeled 'Foot Stinks' as it landed in the middle of the Kraang troops.
"Uh, oh." A Kraang muttered as the bomb then released a horrible gas smell that made the Kraang gag in disgust while trying to block the smell. "The smell is that which is known as stinks! Pee-yew!"
"Time to go!" Casey called as he drove through the Kraang and managed to escape as they turned a corner.
"Take a left." Donnie said to Casey as he pulled out a remote. "There's a secret entrance to the subway right here." He said as he pressed a button and the entrance they used for the Shellraiser opened up in the alley as they drove down it before it closed.
A bit later, they parked at a specific spot through the subway, and all got out. "You think we'll be safe down here dude?" Mikey asked worriedly until Leo shushed him.
"Full ninja mode." Leo instructed.
"And don't worry, Mikey." Ames said with a smile. "The tunnels are huge. It will be hours before the Kraang or the Foot get to this spot." She assured him.
"I guess you're right." Mikey said, a bit relieved.
"Still, we better stay quiet." Olly said to them. "Who knows how many Kraang or Foot could be patrolling down here as well. And yes, Leatherhead, I'm saying that so you won't attack them really quickly." He said while looking at Leatherhead.
"I understand," Leatherhead said with a nod.
"Let's move," Leo said as they rushed off.
The heroes are rushing through the subway tunnels while sneakingly searching up a station before they put their backs into the walls as Naomi shushed them. "You hear that?" She asked them quietly as they all heard beeping and footsteps and climbed up to the beams.
A group of Kraang droids and some Mousers came through the area and were marched through, surveying the area. But right when they were under the heroes, Leatherhead jumped down, crushing two mousers, "KRAANG!" He roared and then quickly smashed, pounded, and ripped the robots apart before stepping on the Kraang and squishing it.
"You really know how to clear an area without setting off an alarm, Big Guy," Jenny commented as Leatherhead gave a proud look.
"Let's keep moving before more patrol gets by," Donnie said before turning to the O'Neil sisters and Vee. "April, Robyn, Vee, think you can use your powers to track Splinter? You did it before, April and Robyn."
"We can try, but you said his mind is no longer one with his body, right?" April asked after being told about Splinter's spirit from their Spiritual Trials.
"Meaning, he could be unconscious or…who knows what else," Robyn wondered in concern.
Vee thought for a moment, "But his body is still alive, meaning I should be able to feel his chi," She theorized, "If any of his old self is inside him, he must be in a place where he would feel safe, a place of happy memories,"
The other knew only one place that fit the description, "The Lair," Mikey said what they were all thinking, "It's the only place where he knew we were safe, and we had our best times there."
"Until Subprime came and ruined it," Raph said in hate.
"Still, it wouldn't hurt to check. It might even give us a clue." Leo said to them as they all rushed toward their old lair.
They soon arrived at the old utility junction where the Old Lair was located. The first thing they saw when they arrived was the Shellraiser, still on its side, damaged by the Kraang with a thin coat of dust over it.
Donnie sighed solemnly and walked over to it, "Hey, girl. We missed you," He said to the vehicle, patting it gently. "Don't worry, once we stop the Kraang and Foot, I'll make you all better." He promised as Tal placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Donnie. We'll fix the Shellraiser." Tal said with a small smile. "For now, let's focus on the mission at hand."
"Right. Master Splinter." Donnie said as they then walked up to the entrance of the lair, which was still trashed from the Kraang and Foot attack which triggered the invasion.
"Oh, Shell," Jenny said with a devastated expression, which Raph, Casey, and Keno shared.
"The Kraang and the Foot destroyed everything," Raph said sadly.
"They are evil, yo," Casey said with a clenched fist.
"You said it." Keno said with a cringe. "They really trashed this place. We're lucky that it's still standing."
Olly looked confused, though, "But wait, something's not right," He said as he looked around, "No droids, no mutant guards, or any kind of security."
"Yeah, so?" Ames asked with a shrug.
"So, there's no one here," Olly said to them.
"Olivier is correct," Naomi said as she looked around. "If the Kraang and Foot wanted to make sure we never return, they would've left some guards or security to prevent us from coming back here."
"They're right," Leo said with a suspicious tone. "Something is up. Let's search around and see if we can find Master Splinter, but keep your guard up. We don't know if this is a trap." He said as they nodded and started searching the lair.
"I call the kitchen!" Mikey said with a smile as he rushed towards the kitchen while the others continued to check the layout for clues or signs if Splinter was here.
Leo approached the Space Hero's pinball machine, kneeled next to it, and sighed solemnly. Vee went over to him with a sympathetic look, "We had a lot of laughs and bets over this machine," Leo said sadly as he kept his hand on the pinball machine.
"Maybe later, we can take it back to the island with us and have Donnie and Tal fix it up, Leo," Vee assured him as she kneeled down next to him. "I know you love this because it's not only your favorite show, but it's also a great game."
"Captain Ryan was always my inspiration to be a great hero and a great leader," Leo said before turning to Vee with a smile, "But it took being with you to make me realize I already had the potential inside me."
Vee smiled as she gave Leo a quick kiss. "You always have, Heroboy." She said, Leo smiling warmly as the two got back to searching.
Raph was checking the bedrooms as he stumbled upon his, seeing that it remained untouched as Jenny came to him. "Well, at least our rooms are still in one piece." Raph said with a sigh. "I can't believe the Foot and the Kraang did this to us. I can't believe they took our home."
Jenny held her shoulder, "Don't worry, Hothead, we'll get through this," She told him, "Like my father says, 'We have to flow with change,'" She added.
"Like a river, over stone," Raph said with a breath and smiled, "Alright, let's keep looking," He said as Jenny patted his shoulder as she searched the other rooms for any clue to Splinter.
Raph then noticed a lonely leaf with a big mark in it and picked it up with a solemn look, "Where are you, Slash?" He wondered.
With Donnie and Tal, they managed to get the doors to the former's Lab opened and were shocked to see the entire room was trashed and ransacked, "Oh, oh no! My experiments. My lab." Donnie said in despair as Tal placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Donnie. But we should've expected those would, take what they pleased." Tal said solemnly.
Donnie sighed as he walked into his lab while seeing what remained his notes and projects, "This is where I spent most of my time in. Where I kept researching and making new things." He said sadly. "And now it's all gone."
Tal frowned before she gasped, "Timothy," She said in worry.
Donnie's eyes widened in realization before he rushed to the wall, pushed some items away, and found Timothy still frozen in his jar, "Phew. He's still here," He said in relief.
"Guess he was too gross for even the Kraang," Tal said with a smile as she placed a hand on Timothy's jar, "Hey Pulverizer, sorry we took so long," She said.
"But we did say we'd be back one day." Donnie said with a smile. "Don't worry, Tim, once things have died down we'll move you somewhere safe."
"And hopefully stop the Kraang and Foot before things get worse by then." Tal added as they looked into Timothy's frozen eyes.
In the kitchen, Mikey was looking around and saw the place was still in one piece. "Sweet. The kitchen is still in one piece." He said with a smile as Ames came in with a chuckle.
"Always thinking about your stomach, huh, Mikey?" Ames asked in amusement with a hand on her hip.
Mikey opened the fridge and saw some food that still looked pretty fresh, "Huh, you think being down here for three months this stuff would've gone bad by now," He commented before taking out a slice of pizza. "Cheese and pepperoni. Just the way I like it." He said as he then scarfed it down. "Yep. Still fresh." He said.
"Wait, the food is still fresh?" Ames asked as she inspected the fridge, "I don't remember all this being here," She said, pulling out some vegetables and chocolate bars.
Mikey then gave a suspicious face, "We's got ourselves a mouse in the house," He said like a detective while take a slow bite of Pizza.
In the Dojo, Olly, and Naomi looked around, seeing a couple of Kraang Droids and Footbot parts lying around, but they saw the dojo was still intact as the tree was unharmed and still alive. "Huh, you know, somehow I keep getting surprised by how this tree survived the lair attack." Olly commented while placing a hand on a tree.
Naomi then walked over to Splinter's shrine and noticed something peculiar, there were photos of two different human families, one was a boy with orangish blonde hair and a white hoodie with his parents and the other was of a girl with similar hair, wearing a blue plaid jacket, a pink shirt and jeans with our family.
Suddenly, both got the sense they weren't alone. They looked to each other, with eye communication and reached for their weapons while keeping their guard up. Olly walked backwards, not noticing a boy, the same one from the pictures, was walking behind, holding a training staff and looking on guard as well.
The two boys then bumped their backs into each other and turned to face each other, "AH! Who are you!?" Olly and the Boy asked, pointing at each other before jerking a thumb to themselves, "Who am I?! Who are you?!" They asked, pointing at each other again.
The boy then used the training staff and whacked Olly's back, which he yelped in pain as he clutched his stomach. "If you Ninja freaks and your alien buddies came for us, you have another thing coming!" The boy yelled while holding a firm hold on the staff.
"Do I look like a Foot Ninja to you?" Olly grunted with a look and rolled his shoulders, "Alright kid, just put down the staff and I won't hurt you,"
"Oh yeah, like I'll fall for that one." The boy retorted as he raised the staff and swung forward only to see he was holding nothing. He then saw Olly leaning on the staff before he spun it around and broke it over his knee, which made the boy nervous. "Should've dropped the staff?" He asked, knowing what was coming.
"Should've dropped the staff." Olly answered as he put the broken pieces away. "Look kid. I didn't come here for a fight. I didn't even know that you were in here and…wait, you said something about we, who else is down here?"
"Me," The two turned and saw the same girl from the other picture walking from behind the closing screen, "Sorry about Zach, he can be a bit of a lunkhead," She said with a look at the boy.
"Hey, when aliens take over your city, and possibly the world, it never hurts to be cautious!" Zach complained with his arms crossed.
"Well they haven't taken over the world, yet, which is why we're here to stop them," Olly said as Naomi came over to him.
"We?" The two kids asked before the other turtles, Leatherhead and their human friends came in.
"Olly, Naomi, you found anything yet-" Leo asked before they saw the two humans in front of them, "Whoa!" He said in surprise.
"There's more of them?!" Zach exclaimed in shock as he and his friend backed away from them. "Just how many of you guys are there?!"
"More than you realize dude," Casey told Zach.
The girl gave scrutinizing look, "And we should trust you, things, why?" She asked with a frown.
"Watch it, sister," Jenny warned.
"Don't worry, their friends," April assured gesturing to the Turtles and Leatherhead, "Some of the best friends you could ever have,"
The two looked to each other and nodded before turning back to the Hamato Warriors, "Who are you?" Zach asked.
"What are you?" the girl asked.
"That's kind of hard to explain," Olly said unsurely, "All I can say is that we're…"
"Teenagers," Mikey and Ames said casually.
"Mutants," Donnie and Tal said accurately.
"Ninjas," Raph and Jenny said bluntly.
"Turtles," Leo and Vee said proudly.
Naomi just gave a small shrug, "Or all of the above," She said simply.
"Wait, so, you're what, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" The girl questioned with a brow.
The group looked to each other, "Huh, when you say it like that, it sounds pretty stupid," Raph said dully.
"I kinda like it. It's got some sparkle to it." Mikey said with a smile.
"It's catchy." Ames added.
"Okay, we're getting off-topic here." Leo said to them. "Who are you kids? And what are you doing in our home?"
"I'm Zach and this is my friend Catilyn," Zach introduced, jerking a thumb to Catilyn.
"When those alien blobs attack, me and Zach managed to escape and have been dodging them ever since," Catilyn explained, "That's how we stumbled upon this place a few weeks ago, we're lucky those freaks don't come by here too oftenly."
"So, this place is your house?" He questioned.
"Well it was, until the Kraang showed and trashed everything." Donnie spoke up.
"And we had to leave the city after they attacked three months ago." Olly said before looking down at the kids. "But how you two survived, is pretty impressive. Even for kids your age."
"Oh, trust us, it was crazy, even for the big apple." Zach said with his arms crossed. "But, I gotta admit, this place has a nice layout."
"Most of the time, we head up to find some food and supplies, but we barely manage to avoid being spotted." Catilyn said to them. "They've been on patrols and have probes in every corner. Even underground."
"Not to mention they've more of those, what did you call them, mutants?" Zach asked getting a nod, "You would not believe what they look like."
"A Zombie Wolf, a walking robo-fish, a tiger with an eye-patch and a Falcon with metal wings?" Robyn guessed, causing Zach and Caitlyn to look stunned.
"Yeah, those creeps work for the biggest, baddest, pointy-headed jerk in the city: The Shredder." Keno explained with a scowl.
"Well we're lucky this Shredder isn't interested in us, he's got those goons of his turning the whole city upside down looking for some girl," Caitlyn told them before rubbing her chin, "I think they said her name was, Karai?"
"Miwa." Leo said with his arms folded. "That's her real name. And it makes sense he's still searching for her."
"You guys know who she is?" Zach asked in surprise.
"Long story." Vee said to them. we can explain later, right now we have someone else to find,"
"You two didn't happen to see a giant man-rat with butt-kicking ninja skills pass by, did you?" Mikey asked.
"Uh, a giant rat?" Zach asked with a weird look while Catilyn shuddered. "Guess that explains the cheese phone we found."
"Okay, that's a weird thought." Catilyn said.
"I'll take that as a no." Mikey said sadly.
"We knew it wouldn't be easy Mikey," Donnie told his brother, "We'll just have to keep looking-"
Vee suddenly gasped as she sensed something, putting a hand to the floor and closing her eyes in concentration. "What is-" Raph tried to ask before Vee held up her hand and continued focusing.
"Master Splinter," Vee started as in her mind she saw Splinter writing and screaming like a wild animal, "I sense him but…something's wrong," She said with a concerned frown.
"Vee, can you find him?" Leo asked desperately.
"Y-Yeah. He's close." Vee said as she then rushed out of the lair. "Follow me!" She called as they rushed out.
"Hey! Wait for us!" Zach called out, chasing after them.
"You're not leaving us behind!" Catilyn called next as they ran out the Old Lair.
The others ran through the sewers while following Vee as they saw a familiar humanoid rat fighting Mousers wildly. "Sensei!" Mikey cried as they stopped and gasped when they saw Splinter hissing at them while in a stance, ready to pounce while hissing like a rat.
"Whoa, now that's a big rat," Zach gasped at the sight of Splinter.
Splinter then charged at them as he tackled the others down and attacked Casey, who screamed as Splinter tried to bite him. "Get him off of me! Get him off of me!" He cried as the others then pulled Splinter off Casey.
"It's okay, Sense! It's us! We're your family!" Donnie called as the four New Yorker turtles all struggled to keep him down. "Try to remember!" He pleaded as Splinter kept struggling.
"Splinter's body survived the drainage pipe, but not his mind." Tal said with a concerned frown. "He must've taken a blow to the head, it's like the man part of him is gone and all that's left is…"
"His animal within. His Primal instincts. A real wild Rat," Olly concluded grimly as he was saddened to see his second sensei and father reduced to this.
Naomi slowly walked up towards Splinter. "Master Yoshi, it's okay. We're not gonna hurt you." She said softly as Splinter snapped at her, but she didn't flinch as she gently placed her hands on his cheeks. "It's alright. Calm down." She said as Splinter hissed for a bit before he calmed down and took a breather.
"Can we help him?" Robyn asked with a concerned frown.
"We gotta get him back to the island, maybe aunt Harumi can fix him up," Tal suggested before turning to Donnie, "Don, contact the island and-"
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" The group turned and saw leaping down from above was Kitsune and a squad of Footbots, "To think I came down here looking for a Serpent, and I find even more vile vermin," Kitsune mused, hands behind her back.
"Kitsune!" Leo said lowly as the turtles drew their weapons.
"Destroy the Turtles, Children and Alligator but capture the rat alive!" Kitsune ordered the Footbots.
The Footbots all charge at the them as they fought them. "Don't let them harm Splinter!" Leo called as they clashed weapons while Zach and Catilyn hid behind to avoid the fight as Splinter hissed and knocked away the bots as he ran down a tunnel.
"Oh no, Splinter!" Raph called as they chased after him, but Footbots blocked their way as they kept fighting.
"There's too many of them!" Olly called as they kept knocking the Footbots away while Kitsune came up in front of Splinter and shocked him, which caused Splinter to scream in pain.
"Splinter!" Leo called as Splinter collapsed and Kitsune kneeled down to him while the Footbots kept the Turtles busy.
"To kill you like this would be no different than a wolf stomping a bug." Kitsune said, realizing what had happened, as she wrapped her Hypno-chain around Splinter's body, "Master Shredder will want to finish you as Hamato Yoshi, not some mindless savage animal." she stated as she had Splinter secured.
"You let him go!" Jenny called as they ran towards Kitsune.
But the Mystic just gave a smirk and bowed, "Welcome home, Little Kappa," She said before she and Splinter vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Sensei!" Mikey yelled out as the others looked around for any sign of them while Zach and Catilyn looked on in surprise before giving the group sympathetic expressions.
At Shredder's lair, rain poured down while Shredder was looking over a photo of him and Miwa until Tigerclaw spoke.
"Master Shredder." Tigerclaw said as Shredder turned to him and his other mutants, "Your enemies have been defeated but not destroyed. How long must we wait for the Turtles to return, until the lowly Kraang mutate the entire Earth? Destroy all of humanity?" He asked, his grudge against the Kraang still burns strong.
"Watch your tone Tiger Claw. I am well aware of the Kraang's plans," Shredder said as he stood up, "And we've fought against the Turtles long enough to know that even though they run they do not hide forever. Once they have returned, we will have them drive the Kraang back to where they belong and then the power of this city will belong to me. Now, how goes the search for Karai?" He questioned.
Before any of the four could give an answer, the Door opened as Kitsune walked in pulling something with her chain, "Kitsune. You got back here faster than I thought you'd," Koya said in surprise with a natural look.
"Yes," Kitsune said with a grunt of effort and turned to Shredder, "My lord, I'm afraid I was unable to find any trace of Karai, but I did find something even more valuable," She said as she finally managed to walk, dragging Splinter in as he pulled against the chain wrapped around his neck.
"Eh?! It can't be!" Fishface asked in shock.
"Hamato Yoshi, alive?!" Rahzar asked in disbelief as Splinter struggled to break free as he kept hissing and snarling.
"Yes. I found him in the sewers, tearing apart one of the Patrols close to the Turtles' Lair." Kitsune said as the Foot Warriors and the Shredder crowded Splinter.
"He survived, but not intact," Shredder said after seeing his arch-rival's condition. "He has clearly lost his mind. Become the rat I always knew he was."
"There's more, Master," Kitsune said as she pulled out one of the Turtles' throwing stars, "I believe you know who this belongs to," She said, handing it Tigerclaw.
Tigerclaw sniffed and snarled, "It would seem your instincts were correct, Master Shredder," He said to their leader.
"Hmm. So the Turtles have returned." Shredder said with a serious look. "And they will undoubtedly come for their Master."
"Should we triple the guards if they try a rescue, Master?" Rahzar asked.
"No." Shredder said, which surprised his minions. "Take Hamato Yoshi to Baxter Stockman." He ordered.
In Stockman-Fly's new lab, it had moved underneath the Lair, upgraded with animal habitats around a large spherical vast of mutagen above with a giant fan. Stockman-Fly was currently checking the vat before turning to his control console with some crabs while holding up a vile. "Bzz. A little more arthropod DNA, combined with Robyn O'Neil's DNA and might just create a Retro mutagen." He said, still trying to create the retro-mutagen to reverse Miwa's mutation.
"Stockman!" Shredder called as Stockman-Fly yelped and turned to see Shredder walking over to a terrarium with the Foot Mutants dragging Splinter, who was thrashing and snarling everywhere.
"Ey! Even with his brains not there, this rodent's as strong as ever!" Fishface exclaimed before Splinter snapped at him.
"Just toss him in!" Rahzar yelled as they threw Splinter into the cage before it quickly closed, trapping him as Splinter hissed and lashed out at them.
"Stockman, I want you to restore Hamato Yoshi's mind. I want him fully aware of who and where he is…before I finished him off." Shredder instructed as he glared at Splinter and then turned to Kitsune and his mutants, "Be ready, when Turtles attempt to rescue Splinter restrain them so that they may watch as I end their master, for good this time," He ordered his minions.
"Yes, Master Shredder," The six Foot Warriors replied, bowing their heads as Shredder walked away.
Splinter then snarled and hissed at them, causing them to flinch while Fishface jumped into Rahzar's arms.
In the sewers, the others were searching for Splinter while Zach and Catilyn were behind them. "Was it really a good idea to bring these two along?" Jenny questioned while pointing to the two new members.
"Well, we can't just leave them alone." Leo said with a look. "They've been hiding from both the Kraang and Foot for three months. We'll drop them off on the island after we save Splinter."
"Hey, can you stop talking like we're not here?" Zach asked with a look.
"Will all of you stop talking? The entrance to the Shredder's Lair is just ahead," Olly said as they rounded the bend and saw two Footbots standing guard, "How many smoke bombs does a turtle need to take out two Footbots?" he asked with a smirk to Raph.
Raph returned the smirk as he pulled out a smoke bomb, "One," Raph said before he threw the smoke bomb at the two Footbots, causing them to go blind before Olly rushed at them and cut them down in one swift swing of his axe.
"Okay, Donnie, Tal, do your thing." Leo instructed as they rushed up to the hatch as Tal installed a device while Donnie connected with his T-Phone.
"We'll have the hatch open in no time." Tal said as Donnie hacked into the hatch, and then in one second, it opened up.
"Like a turtle do!" Donnie bragged with a proud smile.
"Pat yourself on the back later, let's move." Raph ordered before a familiar shadow fell over them.
"It's Shred-head." Mikey said in fear as all of them saw…a small shrimp mutant dressed like Shredder.
The group was silent for a moment before they all burst into laughter, pointing at the Shrimp, "Oh, that's Shredder's guard dog!" Ames laughed.
"What the heck is that supposed to be anyway? Mini-Shredder?" Raph asked in amusement.
"Hahah! It's kinda cute. Like a shrimp." Mikey said in amusement with a wink.
"If he thinks mutating a shrimp into his own image will stop us, he's that desperate!" Jenny laughed.
Mini-Shredder didn't like their insults as he chattered and charged at them, tackling them down by his surprise strength as they screamed in surprise as it then attacked Keno. "What the heck?!" He exclaimed as he tossed Mini-Shredder away.
"Okay, Shredder's Fighting, plus Shrimp Speed, equals Little Terror!" Tal exclaimed.
"No time for a fight! We have to rescue Splinter! Let's go!" Olly called as they all climbed down the hatch as Mini-Shredder charged at them again.
"And stay out, you little freak!" Raph yelled as he closed the hatch before Mini-Shredder could enter, causing it to hit the hatch with its face as it fell to the ground with a painful moan.
The group traveled down the tunnel quietly before they looked down and saw that they were in Stockman's lab while Leo spotted him as they snuck down to where Stockman-Fly went without being spotted as Stockman flew up to Splinter's cage with a slice of cheese.
Stockman-Fly knocked on the glass, gaining Splinters attention. "You want this cheese, don't you?" He asked as Splinter walked up to him and looked at the cheese." You want the nice swiss cheese, yeah? Hmm, come on. Take the cheese. Come on." He taunted as Splinter kept eyeing it before Stockman spits acid on it, causing Splinter to flinch back as Stockman-Fly ate it and gave a sinister laugh as Splinter looked sad before taking a sip of water before Stockman-Fly flew off.
"Oh, that was just cruel." Robyn muttered with a glare.
"I'm gonna squash that bug," Raph growled with his fist clenched before Leo calmed him down as they jumped down to Splinter's cage.
"Sensei," Leo whispered. "Sensei." He spoke again as Splinter turned to them and rushed up to them.
"Quick, get Yoshi out of there," Naomi said as Donnie hacked into the system and opened the cage, but Splinter backed away.
"It's okay. It's okay." April said with her arm out to him, but Splinter was too frightful to go near them. "There's got to be a way to reach him."
"Vee, remember the time you and the girls reached the guys through their dreams?" Keno asked Vee about the time with the Dream Beavers.
"Well, yeah. It took a bit out of me, but we did save them." Vee said with a nod.
"Then what if you could do the same thing for Splinter? You know, mind meld and stuff." Casey suggested.
"Wait, you want me to try and use my spiritual powers to try and restore Splinter's mind?" Vee asked in surprise.
"Based on what we know about your dreamwalker powers, it's possible," Donnie chimed in while rubbing his chin in thought. "But there is only one way to fi-" He was cut off when the Foot warriors jumped down behind them.
"Greetings, Old Friends," Shredder said with a sneer.
"We knew you'd return, Tartarugas," Fishface said while spinning his sword.
"But this, we will destroy you, for good!" Tigerclaw said, pulling out his blaster.
"Consider it a welcome home gift." Rahzar quipped as he readied his claws.
"How's this for a gift?!" Raph called as he threw his throwing stars at them, which Koya blocked before Tigerclaw started blasting them while Stockman-Fly spits acid.
"Look out!" Leo called out as they dodged the shots and spread out. "Vee, try and wake Splinter up!" He said to her as he drew his swords and charged at the Foot Warriors.
"We'll handle these guys!" Olly added as they then started fighting the Foot Warriors while pushing them back and away from the six humans and Vee while Vee moved closer to Master Splinter. The turtles and Leatherhead seemed to have the edge as they pushed them back into a wall
"Is it just me, or did these Blokes seem a lot tougher than last time?" Koya wondered, rubbing her head.
Tigerclaw grunted as he held his side as Olly stood over him, "You've grown stronger, Cub," He admitted.
"They all have," Rahzar said as they regrouped.
Fishface groaned, "Ugh, this isn't as easy as we hoped," He said as the Turtles and Alligator stalked closer.
"Then, let's even the odds!" Stockman-Fly said menacingly as a hatch behind him opened and all of them watched in horror as more Shredder-like mutants emerged from behind him.
"Sweet mother of mutations." Donnie said horrified.
"Do you like my Shredder mutants? They make excellent watchdogs!" Stockman-Fly mocked as they towered over all of them.
"This is just like that nightmare I had." Leo muttered as they all backed away.
"I think it's everyone's nightmare, bro." Raph said as the Shredder mutants charged at them with the Foot Warriors behind them.
"Get them!" Leatherhead yelled as he was fighting with the Crab Shredder as the Turtles started fighting as well, but with the Shredder mutants aiding the Foot Warriors, they were having a hard time now that extra muscles were added.
"These guys are full of armor!" Leo exclaimed as he clashed his swords with Lobster Shredder, but it used its claws and snapped one of his swords in half. "Oh, no."
Leatherhead was tossed away from the Crab Shredder as Jenny and Raph were punched back by Fishface and Tigerclaw as they advanced towards them. "Let's see how well you fight with some muscle added to the arena!" Fishface called as Raph and Jenny tried to charge at him and Tigerclaw, but Crab Shredder roared and punched them down repeatedly to the ground with its four arms.
"Not well, I'm afraid." Tigerclaw said with a smirk.
"This guy is like fighting a four armed dump truck!" Raph exclaimed.
"And hits like a runaway bus!" Jenny added.
"Leave my friends alone!" Leatherhead roared as he wrestled with the Crab Shredder, biting on one arm and holding the other two.
Donnie and Tal were fighting Mini Shredder and Koya flew around them. "Hold still, you little dendrobranchiata." Donnie exclaimed as he tried to whack Mini Shredder, but it tackled him to the face and onto the ground.
"Donnie!" Tal exclaimed before Koya grabbed her and flew her around before throwing her into a wall. "Ow." She groaned as she slid down.
Ames and Mikey were trying to get away from Stockman-Fly and Rahzar as they tried to slash or spit acid at them as they managed to dodge while Olly and Naomi tried to fight off Shredder and Kitsune on their own.
Olly's T-Phone rang as he quickly answered, "Olivier, what's going on? Have you located Splinter yet?" Orimura called as Olly dodged Shredder's claw.
"We're fighting the Foot, dad!" Olly answered as he kicked Shredder back, "We'll get back to!" He said as he leapt away.
"Do not worry, help is on the way!" Orimura said as the heroes still kept fighting the Foot and keeping them away from Vee and their six human friends.
"Splinter? Wake up, Splinter." Keno spoke up as they slowly walked up to him as Splinter hissed at Vee.
"Uh, was this rat really a man? Because he's more rat than man." Catilyn said with a nervous look.
"He is not a rat. He is Hamato Yoshi." Vee said firmly to her, which made them flinch as Vee slowly walked up to Splinter as she slowly and gently place her hands on his head and focused her chi, which flows from her and into Splinter as he clutched his head in pain as he began to remember his fight with Shredder as he hissed in pain before he turned to Casey before he saw Shredder in his place and tackled him.
"Ah! Not again!" Casey yelled as Splinter tried to bite him, but Casey brought out his taser and shocked Splinter and knocked him back with a painful yell.
"Casey!" Robyn exclaimed with a glare at Casey.
"What?! He tried to bite my face off!" Casey exclaimed in defense.
"Dude! Ya can't go around zapping Ninja Masters!" Keno stated.
"It's still better than getting my face chewed off!" Casey retorted as Vee rushed up to Splinter.
"He's not well, Jones! You know that!" Vee exclaimed while trying to wake up Splinter. "Come on, Master Splinter. Come on!" She said as Splinter woke up with his eyes shrunk, but knocked Vee away with a hiss. "Whoa!"
"I got this, Vee!" Casey called as he ready his bat before April and Keno held his arms. "Hey!"
"Haven't you hurt Splinter enough, Casey?!" April questioned.
"We're trying to heal him, not fry him!" Keno added with a look before Splinter charged at them and whacked the six humans away as he pinned Vee to a wall.
"Master Splinter, no!" Vee exclaimed as Splinter snapped his jaws at her before a green Portal opened behind him as Orimura and Dariyasa jumped out and pulled him away from her, "Mom? Dad?" She said.
"Hurry, Venus!" Dariyasa called as they struggled to hold the rat.
Vee nodded and held her hands on Splinter's head, "Please, remember," She said as she focused her chi energy into Splinter, now at full force as Splinter memories of his time and life with his friends and family began to resurface. He stopped struggling and took a deep breath, which made Orimura and Dariyasa release him. Splinter placed his hands over Vee's, which made her nervous a bit before she felt the gentle touch as she opened her eyes to see him standing tall. "Master Splinter?"
Splinter gave a smile as she and the human teens smiled back at him until they heard their friends struggling. The teens were about to help them before Orimura held up his hand, "Now. Let us show you what you can achieve," He told them.
"Shall we?" Dariyasa asked Splinter.
"It would be my honor," Splinter answered before the three rushed toward Donnie and Tal first as Mini Shredder was ontop of Donnie while Koya had Tal's head in her talons.
"Not the face!" The two smart turtle cried as they tried to break free before Splinter kicked Mini Shredder off Donnie and over the edge.
"Hey what-" Koya tried to say before she was punched back by Dariyasa and then flipped over and kicked away by Orimura.
"Father/Mother?!" Both Tal and Donnie exclaimed to their respective parents as Splinter rushed up to Leo at the top of the mutagen vast, which he dropped his sword in.
"No!" Leo cried as the Lobster Shredder came up behind him, but Splinter jumped in and kicked the Lobster and punched it repeatedly before it was knocked over the edge and into the fan below. "Sensei?"
Mikey was screaming in panic as Stockman-Fly flew him around while Amoly was pinned down by Rahzar, "I always wanted to see what a Turtle looked like without its shell," Rahzar said menacingly.
"You wanna see me naked? Weirdo!" Ames yelled while trying to get free but then, Dariyasa came in and punched Rahzar in the snout before knocking him into a terrarium. "Mom?!" She called in huge relief.
"No one messes with my daughter." Dariyasa said with her arms folded with a smile.
Orimura then jumped up, grabbed Stockman-Fly and threw him into a beam before grabbing Mikey and landing, "Whoa! I'm impressed!" Mikey exclaimed in excitement while holding onto Orimura.
With Leatherhead, he was struggling to fight off Crab Shredder while Jenny and Raph were still fighting Tigerclaw and Fishface, but then Splinter, Orimura and Dariyasa jumped in. Splinter fought off Crab Shredder, redirecting its fists before flipping him over his shoulder and over the edge.
Tigerclaw was about to bring his Machete down onto Jenny but was blocked by Orimura's Scimitar sword, "What?" Tigerclaw said in surprise before being kicked back and turned to Orimura, "You," He growled.
"Hello Takeshi, it's been a long time," Orimura asked with a smirk and shouldering his sword.
Tigerclaw growled as he spun his Machete and the two clashed weapons. Clashing blades as they gave a spark. "This time, I will not lose!" He yelled as he kept clashing.
"Sorry to disappoint you, friend. But you still have much yet to learn." Orimura said with a smirk before he blocked another clash, but then he kicked him to the leg to throw him off balance and gave a mighty kick to the gut, sending Tigerclaw flying as he crashed into the ground. "Much to learn."
Fishface had Raph pinned and was about to bite his head off before Dariyasa jumped in and kicked him back as he flipped to his feet, "You'd be wise to crawl back to the ocean, my friend," Dariyasa warned.
Fishface just smirked, "Ah Yes," He said he and Dariyasa before he kicked the white-clad turtleback and pulled her into a dip, "Call me what you will, I am the most interesting Fish in the world," He flirted while wiggling his eye ridges.
Dariyasa just gave him a deadpanned frown, "I'm married," She told him before Orimura came in and gave a mighty punch on his face, sending Fishface flying and flopping to the ground as Orimura caught his wife in the dip before she fell. "Now this is more like it." She said with a small smirk.
"For you my love, only the best," Orimura said lovingly as he helps his wife stand up properly before they looked up and saw Naomi and Olly fighting Shredder and Kitsune, "Yoshi!" He called as Splinter was helping Jenny and Raph up.
Splinter looked up and nodded to them as the three masters wall-jumped up to higher levels; Dariyasa faced Kitsune while Splinter and Orimura took on Shredder. When Kitsune lashed her Hypno Stone whip at Dariyasa, the female turtle grabbed it with her arm and pulled the woman towards her before upper-cutting her jaw, hitting her in certain areas, specifically her neck, head, and chest, and knocking her out.
Orimura and Splinter kept fighting the Shredder before they were able to knock him back, which caused him to groan before he glared. "So, the rat thinks like a man again. Now you will know when my blade is at your throat." He growled to Splinter while clenching his fist before turning to Orimura, "And you, Turtle, you would be wise to stand aside or share his fate,"
Orimura simply glared back and unsheathed his sword, "You're welcome to try," He dared.
Shredder then charged at the two, but both Orimura and Splinter dodged each strike and Orimura blocked Shredder's blades with his swords, which gives Splinter the chance to strike him in the chest, which knocked him back a bit as they exchanged punches and blows with him while Shredder is on the defensive against two Ninja Masters.
"This cannot be!" Shredder denied as he pushed into a corner, "I am the strongest! I am fueled by Rage!"
"As I said before Saki, Rage is a fuel that burns out quickly," Splinter told his former friend.
"But Unity and Honor are eternal!" Orimura finished as he and Splinter then gave a mighty punch from underneath Shredder's jaw, which sent him flying and crashing into the wall as he fell to the floor with a groan.
The others all looked at them with white disk eyes of shock and blinked before the four New Yorker Turtles hugged Splinter. "Sensei!" They called in joy as Splinter smiled and hugged them back.
"My sons," Splinter said with a smile. "How have I missed you, my sons. And the rest of my family." He said before looking at the others. "Along with new faces."
"Sorry about zapping you, dude; just please don't eat my face anymore," Casey said with a shrug.
"It is an honor to finally meet you, Hamato Yoshi," Orimura said as he bowed.
"The honor is all mine," Splinter said as he gave a bow as well.
"Uh, I hate to break up this family moment, but I think it's time we get the shell out of here before these guys wake up." Olly suggested while gesturing to the down Foot Warriors.
"Yes. Now is not the time to finish this." Splinter said in understanding as Mikey then threw a smoke bomb, as they all vanished, Shredder got up and saw the smoke as he growled with a glare.
Back in the subway tunnel, the humans and the New York Brothers and their father rode in the Party Wagon while islanders and Leatherhead were in the trailer as they drove off. "Whoa! Now this is a sweet ride!" Zach said in amazement.
"Did you make this?" Caitlyn asked in wonder as the Party Wagon went through the secret entrance and into the streets.
"Yep! Party Wagon at full effect, yo!" Mikey said with a smile.
"We made it," Donnie said with a sigh.
"Yeah. By the skin of our shells." Raph added.
"Now, let's get back to the Island and rest up," Donnie said as he brought out his portable portal.
"Donnie, wait. We still need an outpost so we can get in and out of the city without getting caught again." Leo said to him. "So we could plan and strike together if we're not on the island. We still have to save the city after all."
"Oh, you're right, Leo." Donnie said as he put the portal away.
"But where? The Lair's totally trashed." Mikey said sadly as they looked down solemnly.
"Homes are transitory." Splinter spoke up. "What matters is that we are together."
"We still need a place to keep an eye on the city and figure out a plan, Sensei." Leo said. "Where could we plan our moves?"
"You know, if you need a base I think I know a place," Zach said, looking at them.
"You do?" Raph questioned with a brow.
"Hey, if you've been hiding from aliens for three months, you tend to find more than a few hiding places around the city." Catilyn said to them with her arms crossed.
"Touche." Raph conceded.
"The place we found is fortified, secret, big, and no one will ever think to look for us there," Zach said to them. "Trust me."
After a bit of driving, Zach directed them to what looked like an old warehouse, "This warehouse was about to be cleared for demolition before the Kraang showed up, so not many people even know about it," Zach explained.
"So how do you know about it?" Robyn asked.
"Because my parents were the ones who paid to demolish it to build a new relief center before… before," Zach said sadly while Catilyn placed a hand on his shoulder for comfort. "Anyway, it's the best place to hide from the Kraang and those Foot Bozos."
"Should be plenty of room for us," Donnie shrugged.
"It will serve for now," Splinter said with a smile.
"Alright, then let's head back to the island, grab some gear, and rest up," Leo said before turning to Donnie the Purple-clad turtle nodded and brought out the portal, activated it, and they drove through it and were soon in the Village again.
"Grandmaster, you've returned," Ryuga said as he, Harumi and Hopu approached, along with the rest of the Tribe as they all stepped out, "I trust the mission was a success?" He asked.
"It was," Orimura said with a nod as he moved aside to show Master Splinter. "Everyone, this is Hamato Yoshi. Or you may call him Splinter, as he prefers." He introduced Splinter to the tribe, "He will be staying with us from now onwards, we will treat him as one of our own," He said as the Tribe all bowed to Splinter in respect.
Splinter smiled and bowed in turn, "Thank you my friends, I look forward to understanding your culture," He said while turning to the Grandmaster and mistress of the tribe, "And thank you for protecting my family," He said graciously.
"It was our honor," Dariyasa said with a smile.
"Now that we're together and have an outpost in New York, the next step is finding Miwa and turning her back," Vee said, bringing them back on topic.
"And then, we take the city back from the Kraang!" Casey said with his fists together in eagerness.
"And find our dad." April added with determination.
"He and the millions of people of New York are out there, somewhere," Robyn added as she and April stood still until they had a vision of Dimension X with the human Kraang hybrids of New York mining for Kraang Crystals. "It's like Dad is right here."
"Right next door," April said as they kept looking ahead.
In Dimension X, the Kraang brought the mutated people of New York to their home dimension as Kraang Droids were forcing them to mine Kraang Crystals as a Kraang-Mutant Kirby walked by and looked ahead as he snarled, having sense a familiar feeling from across dimensions, feeling his daughters' touch.
