Raph groaned and blinked his eyes open and found himself in a black brick chamber. "Ugh, where am I? Fuzzy?" He moaned as he stood up and rubbed his eyes, "I can't remember…"
Raph trailed off before he realized he was trapped in a brick room, "How did I get here? No doors or windows," Raph said with worry before one brick in each wall started moving inwards. Raph peeked through one of the holes, "What…hello?" He called before getting blasted in the face with heat as the holes revealed furnaces behind them.
"Things are getting hotter.. there's no... way... out..." Raph said weakly as he passed out again, still not knowing what was happening.
Six hours ago.
Tal and Donnie are looking at their notes on the brain virus formula they have been working on as they double-check. "How's it going, guys? Any luck?" Raph asked the two smart turtles as they were all gathered around.
"Well, we were able to synthesize samples of the Brain Virus's neurotoxins from Miwa's blood," Tal explained with a disc of Miwa's blood, "Once we add it to our mixture it just might give us the cure," she said.
"Ooh, pretty," Mikey said as he was about to touch it, but Orimura smacked his hand away.
"Are you certain this will save Olivier?" Naomi asked hopefully.
"We're about to find out," Donnie said as he took a drop and placed it in the mixture, which they all watched in desperation as the mixture bubbled up before it turned black and overflowed. "Oooh, Shell!" He groaned.
"Darn it, it didn't work!" Tal cursed.
"You tried your best guys, even though it sucked," Ames comforted as Donnie slammed his fists down in frustration.
"It's useless! We're not even close!" Donnie gripped while falling back into his chair, "We can't do it! This Brain Virus is impossible!"
Tal then gave a look of despair to her parents, "Mother, Father, I'm sorry but…I'm afraid there's nothing we can do," She said regretfully.
Orimura and Dariyasa gave sad looks before Orimura nodded in understanding. "We know how hard you and Donatello have tried, Taliena. Some things are simply not meant to be." He said to them as he and Dariyasa walked off, "It seems I must select a new heir to Shell Tribe," He said solemnly.
"At least we still have…four wonderful daughters," Dariyasa said with a sad smile as she and Orimura walked out though she had her hands to her face and could be heard quietly sobbing.
The group walked off out of the lab as Leo gave a determined look as he went up to Donnie and Tal, who were looking through their notes. "Donnie, Tal, you know how much this means to the Tribe, to us." He said to them.
"Leo, we're trying as hard as we can," Donnie said while still looking through the notes.
"Well, try harder!" Vee called joining Leo, "It's like you're not even trying to save Olly!" She called out which made the two smart turtles turn to him with a glare.
"Not Trying? Not Trying?!!" Tal questioned as she tossed her notepad to Vee, which she barely dodged. "You think I've just been slacking around while our big brother has been reduced to Shredder's slave?! I've been working so hard my hand is ready to fall off!" She yelled, raising her hands.
"Hey, you don't think I haven't been trying too?! Back in New York I always had to find the solution!" Donnie told his girlfriend in anger before turning to Leo, "And you're the leader, Leo! How about you find the answer?! Or what about Raph or Jenny?!"
Raph turned to him with a glare, "You want an answer?! How about we have to face the fact that Olly is a lost cause!" He suggested.
"What did you just say?!" Jenny demanded, grabbing Raph by the plastron. "That's my brother, Raphael! You think he's some sort of lost cause!? What if it was you or your family?!"
"Don't say stuff like that, dudette!" Mikey yelled, slapping Jenny's shoulder as she glared at her.
"No one asked your opinion, Pizza Breath!" Jenny stated, shoving Mikey back as Ames came between them.
"Hey, you can't talk to Mikey like that!" Ames stated with a glare.
"Yeah, only Ames can talk to me like that!" Mikey vouched as Ames turned to him.
"Excuse me?!" Ames questioned, sounding insulted.
Vee held her head in frustration, "Can we just focus on what's important and figure out how to get our Leader back?!" She demanded.
"What, are you saying I'm not the leader of this team?!" Leo asked with a glare which Vee returned.
"I'd rather follow my brother than some guy who takes after the leader from the worst TV show ever!" Vee stated as Leo gasped insult and growled before Vee turned to Tal, "And if Olly were here right now, at least he'd be more dependable than you two 'smart' ones!"
"Hey! I'm the smartest one of here, so at least I'm dependable!" Donnie stated while crossing his arms.
Jenny just gave a mocking laugh, "Say the turtle who could realize the human he was crushing wasn't into him until he mutated her dad!" She called out as Donnie gasped and pretty soon all eight of them were arguing over each other.
Naomi looked at her friends in worry and anxiety, holding her head as her expression turned from worry to frustration before finally, she had enough. "STOP!" Naomi yelled loudly it startled the turtles out of their argument as she glared at them, "All of you! Look at yourselves, is this what Olivier would've wanted to see if he was here?! Us fighting amongst ourselves!? Blaming one another!? Giving up on him and ourselves?!" She questioned firmly.
"But what's the--" Raph tried to protest before Naomi smacked him.
"Silence!" Naomi yelled firmly, which made Raph shut his mouth. "You all have done your best to help Olivier! But would he want us to give up and blame each other for not trying hard enough?! We've been trying our best to save him, but what good will it do returning him to our family if there's no family to return to?" She questioned as the eight then looked down and away from each other, realizing that they let their anger get the better of them.
"We cannot drive each other apart when unity is most important. Remember a great team thinks as one and knows that while not everything will work the way we plan, there is always a solution." She said to them softly while she held her hands together, "So now, what do you say?" She asked.
Vee looked towards Leo in guilt, "Sorry Leo," She apologized.
"Yeah, me too," Leo replied before turning to Donnie, "And I'm sorry to you Don, I know you've been trying your best,"
"Thanks, bro, but you're right, we could've tried better," Donnie said in guilt.
"We've been trying so many ways, we don't know what else to try," Tal said while looking down in shame.
Jenny then turned to Raph. "Sorry for the roughhousing, Raph. I-I just..." She stopped and placed a hand on her face, trying not to cry.
"Hey, it's okay," Raph said while placing a hand on her shoulder. "I shouldn't have said that about Olly. I should've watched what comes out of my big mouth."
"I miss him so much," Ames whimpered as Mikey hugged her.
"We all do, Ames," Mikey said while trying to comfort her before turning to the team, "But Naomi's right, Olly never gave up on us, so we can't give up on him," He declared in determination.
"Right, we can't give up, we're gonna save our brother and defeat Shredder, no matter what," Leo said walking forward, "So, what do you say team?" He asked holding his hand out.
One by one, the turtles shared his determined expression and each placed their hands over his, "For Olly?" Naomi said to the team.
"For Olly." They all said in unison, ready to save Olly no matter what cost or risks they had to do. Just then, Naomi's T-Phone started ringing, much to their surprise.
"Who could that be?" Naomi wondered as she took out her phone and answered, "Hello?" She answered.
"Naomi help!" A familiar voice called, surprising them.
"Olivier?!" Naomi said in shock, "Wha-?! How-?"
"Don't speak too loudly! I'm hiding," Olly whispered, "Listen I don't have a lot time, I managed to free myself from Shredder's Brain Virus and got away, but I'm too weak to fight back and Shredder's goons are after me!" He explained.
"Where are you?" Naomi asked in concern but her face showed suspicion.
"At an old Warehouse on Hobart! Get here fast, I don't think-" Olly was then cut off as the sound of crashing was heard, "No, no! Stay back, stay back! AHH!!!-" He screamed as the Turtles looked at each other.
At the Warehouse where Olly was 'attacked', he was still in his Foot garb, holding his T-phone to his mouth, and gave a sinister chuckle, "Hahaha! Suckers!" He mocked as he turned to Shredder.
"Excellent performance my boy," Shredder complimented with a dark gleam in his eye, "Now that you've dropped the bait all I must do is ready the hook," He said while clenching his fist.
"And then, tonight's catch will be Turtles Flambe," Olly smirked.
Back on Turtle Island, the Turtles went over what they heard from Olly, "So, just when we're planning to save Olly, he manages to free himself?" Vee questioned with a brow.
"And the safest place he could find is an old abandoned warehouse?" Donnie added with a frown.
"Which is a looong ways away from Shredder's Lair?" Ames continued while rubbing her chin suspiciously.
Raph then crossed his arms, "Da-da-da, it's a trap," He said bluntly.
"Yeah, I smell a setup from a mile away," Jenny said in agreement.
"Naomi, you know Shredder's just trying to use your feelings to lure you in," Leo told the Brown-clad turtle.
"I do, which is why I'm going over there only to tear that man apart for using my Turtle in such a cowardly way!" Naomi growled while pulling out her spear. "Trap or not, we're gonna get Olivier out of the Foot clutches, even if we have to chain him up and drag him back with us."
"Well if you're going, you better count me," Raph said, pulling out and spinning his Sais, "I've been aching to break some Foot for days now." He said eagerly.
"I think we all are," Tal said as they all pulled out their weapons.
Leo, realizing there was no point in not going, drew his katanas, "Alright team, let's move!" He declared as they all went to get their bracelets and vehicles to take the fight to the Foot.
A bit later, the Turtles traveled to New York before they found the warehouse as they entered through the glass ceiling as they looked around while keeping their guard up. Naomi then looked down and saw Olly tied up in chains on the floor below, she narrowed her eyes and turned to Tal, "Talena?" She said, pointing to Olly.
"Got it," Tal said as she aimed her bow and fired an arrow at Olly, causing him to fritz red before disappearing, "Hologram," She said as they jumped down and a familiar laugh came in.
"Heh, gotta say, a part of me knew that you wouldn't be fooled," Olly spoke as they turned and saw him on the upper level, speaking through a microphone with Shredder beside him, "But then again, it'll just make beating you even sweeter," He mocked.
"Olivier," Naomi said, holding her weapon tightly.
"Shredder," Leo snarled as they all brought out their weapons.
"I would've expected Maolier to have come, but seeing all of you together is a bonus." Shredder said with a mocking tone, "Stockman managed to hack your T-Phone signal, and all Olivier had to was reel you in where there was no escape,"
"Well sorry to break it to you Shredhead, but your trap went over like a lead balloon," Raph said as his Hamato Ninpo marking appeared, "So give Olly back, or we'll turn you into the world's ugliest kitchen knife, mystic style!" He demanded as Shredder gave a laugh.
"Did you think I didn't anticipate the Hamato Ninpo? Kitsune!" Shredder called out.
Then faster than the turtles could react, Kitsune leaped down behind them, and dashed between them while pressing a finger at the back of their necks as in the black void of their minds the Hamato Clan Symbols that were the source of their powers flickered out and disappeared.
Kitsune then leaped up to the upper level on the other side of Shredder as the Turtle sagged tiredly, "What just, happened?" Jenny moaned tiredly.
"Doesn't matter, 'cause it's time for, Whip-a-rama!" Mikey declared lashing his Nunchuck at three villains above them…but his weapon did nothing but sag, much to his confusion, "Okay that didn't work let me try again, Whip-a-Rama!" He yelled again but still nothing happened, "Whip-a-rama! Whip-a-rama. Whip-a-what the…?" Mikey said, looking at his Nunchuk in confusion.
"Let me handle this!" Ames said, concentrating on summoning her illusion clones but nothing happened, "Hey, where are the others mes?" She asked.
Donnie tried to create something, while Leo slashed his sword, and Raph tried to summon his energy giant, but like with Ames and Mikey it didn't work, "My Technomancy is gone too!" Donnie realized.
"So is my Teleportation." Leo gasped in surprise.
"I got nothing," Raph slumped down stunned.
"Our Mystic Powers are gone!" Tal exclaimed in horror as her Healing Hands weren't working.
"What's going on?!" Jenny questioned while looking at her claws as she couldn't feel her Extreme Speed while Vee and Naomi couldn't use their powers either.
"A special Hex used by the ancient Foot Mystics created to cancel out the power of the Hamato Ninpo," Kitsune revealed tauntingly, "I blocked your connection to your Chi, and in doing so you have lost your abilities to use your powers,"
"Which means, restraining you will be that much easier, boys!" Olly then snapped his fingers as Rocksteady burst in with his Hammer and Hook.
"Hahaha, Nyet." Rocksteady taunted as Bebop appeared while laughing and Fishface jumped down, spinning his Balisword.
"This is gonna be fun," Razhar said as he came in and gave a howl before Koya soared in.
"Blimey, like fish in a barrel," Koya greeted while crossing her arms.
Newtralizer then teleported in, "Rokka-Rokka-Rokka." He chanted with a smirk as Tigerclaw was the last to enter.
"Greetings, Old friends," Tigerclaw said with a smirk as he slammed his fists together.
"Aw, sewerapples," Raph muttered as the Foot Warriors jumped down.
"Restrain them! We need them alive, for now," Shredder ordered.
"Aw, yeah! It's on like Diddy Kong!" Bebop declared as flung an energy Mohawk which the Turtles dodged as they fought the other Foot Warriors while the Warthog turned invisible.
"Dudes! They're too many of them!" Mikey called out as he blocked a sword strike from Tigerclaw.
"We need to get out of here before--" Vee was cut off when Rocksteady tossed Jenny into her.
"Leo, get out of here!" Tal said as she wrestled with Koya, "You gotta warn Dad and Master Splin-" She was cut off by an elbow to the head.
"I'm not leaving you!" Leo said stubbornly as he kicked Rahzar back.
"Just go!" Naomi ordered as she was kicked down by Fishface as he turned to Leo who started running.
"Turtle need to go squishies!" Rocksteady yelled as he charged at Leo but he dodged and Rocksteady crashed into Fishface, getting stuck in a wall.
Leo was almost to the door before he bumped into Bebop who reappeared and laughed, "Haha, come turtle, whaddya gonna do-" Bebop was cut off when Leo punched him in the snout and ran past him as Bebop held his snout, "Ow, my piggy snout! He hit me in my piggy snout!" He cried as Leo tried to get the door open but was kicked down by Olly.
"If it isn't the big brave Leonardo. Always the one who gets others into trouble." Olly said with a sinister smirk before he knocked him out.
"Leo!" Vee called before she was knocked into a beam by Fishface.
"Vee!" Tal called before she was grabbed by Rahzar and thrown at Jenny who was thrown by Koya. The two crashed with Mikey sandwiched between them as all three went under.
Donnie wrestled with Newtralizer before the alien threw away his staff and zapped Donnie to the floor, Ames tried to jump at Newtralizer from behind but got ice-blasted by Tigerclaw and knocked out. "Still only cubs," Tigerclaw mocked while hoisting his blaster.
"Haha, your shell is mine, Donatello!" Newtralizer laughed as he dragged Donnie over to him by the leg and held him by the throat and gave a low-level shock to Donnie which made him yell in pain before knocking him out.
"Donnie!" Raph called as he rushed towards him, but he was knocked down by Rocksteady as he laughed at him while Raph struggled to stay conscious.
Raph's vision turned fuzzy as he saw his defeated team while Naomi was tied up in Kitsune's Hypno chain, "Raphael!" She cried with Shredder's laugh being the last thing Raph heard before everything went black.
Back in the present, Raph stood up back up weakly. "Now I remember," Raph said tiredly getting back up as a camera was watching him.
"Welcome Turtles," Shredder spoke through a microphone, "I do hope you enjoy your accommodations, for each of you has been placed in a unique trap which will serve as your final resting place," He said.
"Traps don't really seem like your style, Shredder," Raph said as in a Sewer Chamber, Shredder and his Warriors watched the turtles in their traps on the monitors.
"Oh no, it was a collaborative effort to ensure you each have the most fitting demise." Shredder taunted before turning to Fishface. "Isn't that correct, Xever?"
"I helped design yours personally, Raphael. Everyone loves baked turtle." Fishface said sinisterly.
"Oh, if I had my powers I'd bake my foot up your...!!" Raph warned before Shredder interrupted.
"Raphael, your trap is being trapped in a chamber that will increase in temperature rapidly, much like your famous temper," Shredder explained, "Let us see which fire will be snuffed out first."
Naomi was in a meditative stance in her room as Shredder spoke up. "Maolier…" Shredder spoke up.
"Shredder," Naomi growled as she opened her eyes.
"I welcome you to Kitsune's Honor Slayer, to save your fellow Turtles' lives, you must overcome the Samurai's greatest enemy: The 1000 Blades of the Ninja," Shredder stated as above Naomi the roof opened up as a ball of spinning blades lowered down, "And just to make it interesting, Koya requested that the speed be placed to 100." He said sinisterly.
"No need to thank me, Maolier," Kitsune chuckled as Naomi glared at the ball.
Vee found herself in a room filled with holes, "Venus De Milo, do you have the strength to survive Tigerclaw's Hydra Nest?" Shredder questioned as a robotic, mouser-like snake hand lunged out at Vee which ducked under before destroying, "From every hole within that chamber a serpent's head will spring forth and strike at you all you must do is destroy them."
"Seriously, that's your trap?" Vee asked sarcastically before two more snakes lunged at her from the side and below and she dodged them, "What the?!"
"Haha, for every head you cut off, two more shall take its place, fail to keep up and it will be you who loses their head," Shredder mocked.
Tigerclaw then laughed, "Very good, Master Shredder," He complimented as Vee struggled to fight the snakeheads.
Jenny was tied up in chains over a tank of ice water and struggled to break free as Shredder spoke, "Jennika, can you withstand the punishment of Bradford's Arctic Aquarium?" He taunted before Jenny was dunked into the water and held under for a while as she thrashed in freezing temperature, "You shall be repeatedly placed into the water and brought up to breath only to be thrown for another time," Shredder explained as Jenny was pulled back up as she yelled and gasped for air.
"Y-You think, a l-little, c-c-cold is gonna b-bother me?" Jenny stammered with a glare. "Y-You'll need m-m-more than t-turning me into a-a t-t-turtle-icle to t-t-take me out!"
"I know, which is why we shall see what takes your life first: Lack of Oxygen or Lack of warmth," Shredder said as Jenny was dropped into the water again. "And I'd also like to add that for every minute that passes, you'll spend more time in the water than out of it," He warned as Jenny thrashed around in the water again.
"Good one, Master. Better save your breath to live longer while you become colder-blooded." Rahzar quipped as he laughed as Jenny was brought up again.
Donnie was freaking out as he was strapped to a chair with a Mouser helmet full of dozens of wires attached to it. "Donatello, have you the intelligence to claim victory over K'Vathrak's Mind Master?" Shredder wondered as in Donnie's vision he was on a tower of multicolored blocks, "The game is simple: connect the cubes that appear above you with their matching colors beneath, but if your mind makes a mistake, your body pays with shocking results," He quipped as Donnie avoided a red, blue and pink cube from above before he was crushed by a green cube.
Right when he was crushed in the game, his body was zapped as he screamed in pain. "And should you make too many mistakes then you shall know the true meaning of 'brain fry'." Shredder quipped.
Newtralizer gave a laugh, "Ah yes Master Shredder, an excellent villain Pun," He complimented with a gurgle as Rahzar gave a snuff.
"Stop kissing butt, Lizard Lips," Rahzar retorted as Newtralizer gave him a look.
With Tal, she was chained down to the floor with sonic speakers around her, "Talena, you're room, The Sound Screamer, is where Koya has ensured your mind will not save you," Shredder spoke up as Tal looked around before loud sounds hit her as she yelled in pain from the volume. "The soundwaves have been adjusted to a volume so high your brain will not be able to process anything but the sound reverberation around you, and will continue increasing over and over with every passing second until your hearing itself leaves your body lifeless," Shredder explained.
"I think you might need to say that again Master. I don't think the Shelia heard you." Koya quipped with a laugh as Tal struggled to block out the noise.
With Ames, she woke up and found herself shackled by her arms and legs to a table and looked around in panic as Shredder spoke, "Amoly, as the youngest and most insignificant of the Turtles, Zeck was tasked with building you The Chopping Block," Shredder stated as Ames saw a giant blade swinging down vertically over her.
"Whoa!" Ames yelped as she lowered herself under the blade before another blade came at her from the sides, "Whoa!" She yelped again and lowed again.
"Here you will have to remain constantly focused as you will never predict where or when the next attack will come from," Shredder explained as a blade, coming in diagonally from her left foot swung next, "All that will know is what will happen when you finally misjudged your timing."
"So youse better watch yo'self, Pinky!" Bebop said with a laugh as Ames frantically watched where the next blade would come from.
With Mikey, he woke up with a gasp as he found himself strapped somewhere too.
"Last and most definitely least, Michelangelo meets Steranko's Flush-O-Matic." Shredder said with a tired tone, "Once the tanks are full, the flush valve will open and dump mutagen all over you and you shall be turned into a far more fitting form." Shredder mocked as Mikey tried to escape.
"First up, gross! Second, who came up with the lame name?" Mikey taunted with a brow.
"Blame Rocksteady, I mean Steranko," Bebop corrected when Rocksteady glared at him. "And that name's just dank!" He added as Rocksteady just shrugged.
"Figures, you got no imagination, Rocksteady! I mean if I were an evil villain, I'd try to come up with something cool like…The Flush of Fear! The Toilet of Terror! Ooh, the Dump of Doom!" Mikey said dramatically with a smile. "Now that's got sparkle to it!"
"We told ya that name needed some work!" Bebop shouted, turning to Rocksteady.
"Kinda liking the Dump of Doom, it's nice!" Rocksteady admitted while impressed.
Shredder smirked evilly under his mask, "May good fortune be with you turtles, if only to grant you a merciful end," He sneered.
"Hey Shredder, aren't you forgetting something!?" The Foot turned to see Leo down in a circular arena with swords, "What, you spent so much time with the others' traps that you couldn't make one for me?" Leo questioned with a glare as Shredder laughed and stood up.
"Oh no Leonardo, I saved the most tortuous trap, especially for you," Shredder stated, "To destroy a warrior such as yourself, I must strike at you where it is most painful: The heart,"
"And how are you going to do that?" Leo questioned with a look.
Shredder then snapped his finger as Olly dropped down in front of Leo, "To leave with an impossible choice: Kill your brother and save the rest of your family or refuse and watch them all suffer and fall," Shredder explained while giving a laugh.
Leo was shocked as Olly glared at him with a sinister smirk as he drew his axe and ready his claws as he slowly approached the Blue-clad turtle. "Olly, I don't want to fight you," Leo said to him.
"Good, because it makes things much easier," Olly said as they glare at each other.
"I said I don't wanna fight you, but I will if I have to," Leo said as he gave a serious look and drew his swords.
"Oh, you will have to, Turtle," Tigerclaw said with a smirk as he and the Foot watched with interest.
Olly then charged at Leo with a battle cry as Leo glared before he charged at Olly as the two leaders clashed weapons.
Back on Turtle Island, a Shell Scout was rushing through the forest, jumping over rocks and logs, swinging from vines, and traversing through the tree trunks before making it to the village gates and rushed towards Orimura and Dariyasa who were speaking to Splinter, the human teens and the Mutanimals.
"The Shredder and his Followers have captured Leonardo and the others!" The scout reported with urgency as they all turned to them.
"What?!" Miwa, Casey, and Catilyn exclaimed.
"Oh no!" April, Keno, Zach, and Robyn said in worry.
Dariyasa gasped in worry and turned to Orimura whose expression turned from shock to fury as he stood up, "Prepare, for battle," he ordered.
"Orimura wait!" April spoke up as they all turned to her, "Sorry for speaking out of turn but a direct assault could be a disaster, you know this!" She stated.
"April is correct. Many of your warriors could be lost with no guarantee of saving my sons or your daughters," Splinter added with concern.
"But the children are in danger!" Orimura yelled. "The Foot has crossed a line that shouldn't be ignored! Yet you suggest we stand here and do nothing!?" He demanded, slamming his sword down.
Miwa then stepped forward, "No, but the fact is that Shredder will be expecting you to come for him, so we'll have to turn the tables on him," She told him, "Which is why I'm going!"
"You?" Leatherhead asked in shock.
"No one knows the Foot then I do," Miwa said firmly. "I have a better chance of getting there and helping them. Once I find them, we lure Shredder and the Foot to our turf, and then you can give him a piece of your mind." She told Orimura who began to think about this.
Splinter approached Miwa, "Miwa, I cannot ask you to risk your freedom once more." He said, not eager to lose his daughter again.
"Don't worry, father. This time, I won't go looking to start a fight, just to bring the fight to us." Miwa assured him while giving a soft look, "Leo, Olly, and the others risked their lives to bring me home more times than I can count, so now it's my turn to do the same for them,"
Splinter looked at Miwa, seeing her determination to save the Turtles after all they've done for her to bring her to the right side and to her true family and then turned to the human teens, "I say we give the girl a shot," Keno shrugged.
"From experience, Miwa is the only one who can pull off a surprise attack." April said with a smirk.
"And she's quick even with her snakey stuff." Casey added with a smirk, which made Miwa roll her eyes and used her snake arm to whack him in the face, which made Casey fall to the ground. "See?" He groaned as Miwa smirked.
"They're not wrong." Robyn said with a chuckle. "And she knows the Foot inside and out."
"She might be our best shot," Zach said with his hands up.
"So yeah, let her go and slap some Foot," Caitlyn finished as the Mutanimals nodded in agreement.
Miwa smiled in gratitude at them before turning to her father who closed his eyes. "Go. Save your siblings. Stop the Shredder." Splinter said as Miwa gave him a quick hug, which he returned, they stayed that way for a moment before they broke apart.
"Wish me luck." Miwa said as she brought out her bracelet, activated it and teleported away as everyone saw her go with hopeful expressions.
Back in the chamber, Leo was still fighting Olly as he jumped back, avoiding an axe chop from his mind-controlled friend, "Olly, this isn't you! Shredder's making you do this!" Leo called to Olly.
"Lies! Only trying to trick me!" Olly called as he delivered a kick to the wall, but Leo avoided it as they clashed weapons.
"Olly! I know the real you is in there somewhere! You gotta snap out of it!" Leo called before he flipped over Olly and landed behind him as he blocked a slash from Olly's axe while the Foot watched.
"The Brain Virus is too strong for your primitive minds. Once injected, any being's freewill is no more. Rokka-Rokka." Newtralizer said with a smug look.
"So save your pleads, Leonardo, the only way to save your fellow Turtles is to fight your brother to the bitter end," Shredder stated as Leo was kicked down and slid across the ground.
"No! I don't believe that!" Leo rebutted as he slammed his fist down.
Olly then rushed towards him as he was about to slash him with his claws, but Leo rolled to avoid it as he was grabbed by the leg and Olly tossed him to a wall as Leo managed to land on his legs before Olly landed in front of him.
With Naomi, she was at the corner as the spinning blades were drawing closer to her as she tried to think of a plan. "My friends! Please! Answer me!" She called out.
"Naomi?" Raph spoke from the wall.
"Raphael!? You can hear me?!" Naomi asked as she placed her ear beside the wall.
"Sounds like you're above me." Raph called out.
Jenny yelled as she resurfaced again, "N-Naomi?!" She called, "I-I-I think I can hear you!"
"Are you okay?" Naomi asked through the wall.
"N-Not exactlllyyy!!!" Jenny was cut off when she dunked into the water again.
Vee was slashing the robotic snakes, but they kept appearing and every time she slash one with her weapons more would appear. "What I give to have my prediction ability back." She panted while dodging a snake from behind her.
"Vee, can you hear me?!" Raph called out.
"Raph?!" Vee called as she looked to her left. "I think you're across from me!" She called before she dodged another robotic snake.
Tal was screaming in pain when the sonic disruptors turned on as they stopped and she panted in pain. "Tal!" Vee called as Tal looked around.
"Vee? Where are you?!" Tal called as looked around, "I can barely hear anything but ringing right now." She said with a wince.
Ames was still shackled to the table as the blades were drawing close. "Guys! I'm on my back with swinging blade trying to slice me, I can't figure out where you guys are!" She exclaimed.
With Donnie, he was screaming in pain when he was zapped again. "Donatello!" Naomi cried out.
"Naomi! I can hear you through the vents!" Donnie called as he moved around. "I'm in some kind of trap!"
"Dudes, I'm on my back like Ames, I don't know where anyone is either!" Mikey called as the Dump of Doom was filling up with mutagen.
"But where's Leo?! Leo?!" Vee called as Raph started sweating, "Nevermind, we need to get out of here, work together!" She said as the walls beside him open up more with more heaters.
"Oh, that's not good." Raph muttered.
Miwa landed in the sewers as she shifted to her snake form and used her tongue to taste the air, "I smell Turtle and metal," She said before tasting the air again and frowned in determination, "Gotcha!"
Miwa then started slithering down a tunnel in the direction of her siblings.
In his trap, Raph was pounding on the wall weakly as more heaters appeared, which made him drop to his knees. "Naomi, you're the wise one. What do we do?" He asked weakly.
Naomi kept dodging the blades as quickly as she could. "Working on it! Talena, Donatello, any suggestions?!" She called as the blades drew closer to her.
Tal screamed in pain as the sonics were getting louder, "It's too loud! My head is splitting! Make it stop!" She begged, not even hearing Naomi.
"Can't think! I gotta focus!" Donnie called as he moved around to avoid the blocks falling. "If I make another mistake, I'm gonna get zapped again!" He said as he tried to roll, but he got squished by a block as he was zapped again as he yelped in pain.
Jenny was brought back up while taking a breather as she was shivering. "S-s-s-seriously?! T-t-t-they c-c-c-could've at least, g-g-g-get me s-s-some more t-t-t-time." She shivered before she was dumped back down into the water tank.
Vee kept fighting off the robotic snakes as she kept slashing them, but they kept multiplying. "How many times… can they keep multiplying?" She questioned tiredly as more surrounded her.
Ames yelped as the blades started coming out from every direction more quickly, "Ahh, I'm about to become minced turtle salad!" Ames yelled while ducking under a vertical blade, "And I'm really cutting it close!"
The tanks of the dump of doom continue to fill up with mutagen. "I'm about to double mutate! I'm scared of what I'm gonna turn into!" Mikey shouted in fear as the tanks were rising even more, and he had a horrific thought go through his head of seeing himself as a girl. "Ahh!! Get me out of here!!" He shouted with horror, trying to escape.
With Leo, he was still fighting Olly as the Blue-Clad turtle was on the defensive against the Foot Turtle as he pushed Olly back. "I'm trying to save you, Olly! You need to fight it!" He called as he was about to slash his blades, but Olly left himself open as Leo flinched and stopped before he could hurt him before Olly delivered a punch that sent him sliding across the ground.
"The only thing I want to fight, is you!" Olly stated as he threw a chain at Leo's foot reeling him in and spinning him around.
"Oh, this is too good. Leonardo, getting his shell kicked by one of his own." Rahzar said in amusement. "Life is good."
"Once the turtles are destroyed we will invade Turtle Island and wipe out all remains of the Hamato Clan." Shredder said while still watching Leo and Olly fight.
With Raph, he was laying on the ground from the heat. "I'm finished guys. I'm baked turtle." He said weakly.
With Mikey, he was struggling to break free as he looked up and saw the hatch opened up slightly as a drop of mutagen was dripping. Causing Mikey to scream in panic as he blew the drop to the side as it landed to the side of his head. "It's impossible, dudes! I don't even have a way out!" He cried.
Jenny screamed as she was out of the water her skin turned pale and bluish, "P-p-p-p-please! N-n-n-need! H-h-h-hot ch-ch-ch-ch-chocolate!!!" She chattered before getting dunked again.
Ames screamed as the blades were getting faster and closer to her. "Somebody help me! I'm about to be sliced and diced like garlic pepperoni pizza! Oh, I'm a goner for sure!" She screamed as she struggled to move to get herself free.
Tal screamed as the sonic blasts kept going, louder and louder with every passing second, "No more! Please Donnie, help me!" She screamed with tears of pain running down her cheeks.
Vee was still fighting the robotic snakes, but she was slowing down as she did her best to dodge them. "There's… no end to these things." She breathed.
Donnie screamed in pain as he was zapped again. He took a breather before he realized something. "Guys, listen up! There's a good chance all of the mechanical and electrical circuits of these traps are tied to each other!" He called out.
Naomi kept avoiding the blades as it lowered closer as she heard Donnie before she looked at the bottom. "Got it!" She called as she got under the spinning blades as she caught against the pressure before the blade cut through the floor and Naomi was past all the way through before she ended up in Raph's room as she looked down at the red-clad turtle. "Raphael!" She called as she picked Raph up and placed him on a wall. "Are you alright?" She asked.
Raph groaned as he weakly gave a thumbs up to let her know he was alive. Naomi smiled as she then picked up a loose blade from the machine and looked at the heaters as she started poking the walls as hard as she could before she managed to let loose two bricks and then stab the blade through that cut two wires, which caused the heaters to shut down.
"No more of that hot mess." Naomi quipped as Raph gave a sigh as he finally feels the cool air again, "Now to Venus, Raphael can you stand?" She asked.
"Barely, but yeah." Raph groaned. "I'm a hothead, but that was too much hot for this head."
"If you're making snide remarks, you will be fine." Naomi said with a chuckle as she then used the sword she had to cut through the wall, which caused them to fall into Vee's trap, as the debris blocked the holes to prevent the snakes in.
"Oh, thank goodness." Vee said in relief. "I thought I was snake food for a minute."
"Well, we were gonna help you fight off the snakes, but I guess this is much easier." Raph said with a shrug.
"I am never gonna see snakes the same way again. Don't tell Miwa that." Vee said while leaning on her knees. "Come on, I heard Jenny screaming above me."
"Well, then, let's go save my girl!" Raph declared, sounding a bit better as he looked up. "Naomi give me the sword and a boost,"
"Sure thing, lover turtle." Naomi said with a smirk as she gave Raph the sword and then her and Vee boosted Raph up, as he yelled and jabbed the sword through the ceiling, creating a hole which they climbed through and saw Jenny pulled out of her ice tank.
"G-G-G-G-Guys! A L-L-L-Little help!" Jenny pleaded before she was dunked again.
"Jenny!" Raph called as he used the sword to cut the chains attached to the ceiling and then he pulled Jenny out of the tank and out of the water as Jenny coughed as she shivered. "Are you alright?!"
"D-D-D-Despite being c-c-c-c-cold and b-b-barely b-b-b-breathing, j-j-just p-p-peachy." Jenny shivered as Raph then cut the chains on her and shared the heat he still had from his trap as their opposing temperatures helped them, "Ooohhh, that's better," She said in relief.
"Gotta give credit to Fishface. Despite the meltdown I was having, it made me a bit of a portable heater." Raph said with a smile as Jenny's cold body cooled him off.
"Should we give you two a room?" Vee quipped with a smirk as the two tough turtles gave huge blushes with glares. "Because this place is full of them."
"Enough jokes. We gotta rescue Michelangelo before he double mutates!" Naomi quickly said as she inspected a wall.
Miwa was still slithering across the sewers as she stopped and tasted the air. "Mmm, they're this way. Leads straight to a drainage chamber." She said with a suspicious look. "If Shredder is planning to dunk them down the drain like he did with father, he's gonna get it." She said with a snarl and kept moving.
Back with the others, they managed to slide a wall open before they saw Mikey hooked up to the table. "What the--?" Vee asked in surprise.
"Guys! Help me!" Mikey shouted in fear as the tanks were full and he was about to be mutated.
"MIKEY!" Raph yelled as he used the sword and slash the chains off Mikey as he quickly moved aside and they all went to high ground when the mutagen flooded the floor as Mikey sighs in relief.
"Quick! Ames is just across from here," Vee said as Naomi and Raph pierced the wall behind them and broke through to see Ames shackled down with blades coming from every direction.
"Guys! Get me out of here!" Ames screamed as she tried to lean her head back as Raph and Naomi blocked the blades, as they grunted in effort.
"Mikey! Hurry!" Raph called as Miky nodded and got Ames out of her shackles as they moved out of the way before the blades crashed into each other and fell into pieces.
Ames was breathing heavily from nearly getting sliced as Mikey came to her before she quickly hugged him tightly. "They, almost… they almost…" She said freightedly.
"Don't worry Ames, we gotcha," Mikey comforted as Ames buried her face in his chest.
"Comfort later, we need still need to save Talena, Donatello and Leonardo," Naomi stated as she heard Tal screaming down below, "Beneath us, hurry!"
"Give me that!" Vee called as she then jabbed the floor a few times before it cracked and they fell in with screams. They fell through the floor, but Tal kept screaming. "Tal! Are you alright?!" She asked as she got up and rushed to her sister.
"Make! It! STOP!!" Tal yelled as the sonics were all she could hear.
"Guys turn off the blasters!" Vee ordered.
"What?!" Mikey called over the noise.
"It's too loud!" Raph yelled while clutching his ears.
"Oh, for the love of…!" Jenny yelled as she grabbed the sword and sliced the machine, causing them to short out and burn out as they gave off a smoke. "Better?!" She demanded.
"Geez, you don't need to shout." Mikey said with a smile.
Tal shook her head when she heard ringing as Jenny cut her free as Tal started rubbing her ears. "So loud! My ears are still ringing!" Tal screamed.
"Don't worry, it will wear off soon!" Vee said loudly for Tal to hear. "Now we just need to get Donnie and Leo so we can get out of here."
"Where is Donnie anyway?" Mikey asked before they heard screaming as they looked up. "Found him."
With Donnie, he was running around the virtual game as he tried to avoid the blocks, but then he was surrounded. "No!" He cried before he slouched in defeat, knowing what was coming and got squished as he was electrocuted again.
Then a sword stabbed through the ground as a hole opened up and the others climbed up and saw Donnie as Tal grab the sword. "Donnie! I'll cut you loose!" She called.
"No! The helmet is totally wired!" Donnie warned, "If you try to free me, you'll fry me!" He shouted in fear before he was zapped once more which worried them all.
"What do we do?!" Vee shouted with worry trying to find an idea.
"Don't worry guys, I got this! I got like 50 puzzle apps on my T phone!" Mikey assured as he grabbed the helmet and began to get zapped. Donnie screamed in fear as a block almost crushed him again right before a giant hand knocked it away, Donnie looked above him and saw a huge version of Mikey towering above him.
"Mikey!" Donnie shouted in relief as Mikey made a deep laugh from the game, in the real world, Mikey was being zapped violently as he finally ripped off the helmet and freed Donnie finally, "Mikey... you're awesome!" He said in huge relief, looking at him.
"Yeah, I was born with naturally rare awesomeness." Mikey said right as he fell over from all the shocks before Ames caught him.
"Eight down, two to go," Naomi said, knowing Leo wasn't the only turtle they needed to save.
"You do know Olly will pound us to the ground, right?" Raph questioned with a brow.
"Will it not be worth it?" Naomi questioned.
They all thought for a moment before they nodded and chattered in agreement as they looked up to the ceiling when they heard blades clashing.
Back on the surface of the trap, Leo was tossed to the ground as Olly advanced towards him with a smirk. Leo stood up as he put his swords away. "You want to keep coming at me, Olly? Go ahead. I'm done fighting you." He said as he spread his arms.
"Wish granted!" Olly replied as he charged at him before an arrow landed in front of him, "What the-?!" He said as he and Leo looked up.
"Leo!" The turtles called as they jumped down.
"What?!" Shredder questioned as he and his Foot Minions turned and saw the turtles escaped.
"They've escaped! But how?!" Kitsune questioned.
Shredder then snapped his fingers as large metal coils lashed out from below and grabbed the other turtles.
"Guys!" Leo called as he kicked back by Olly.
"It's over Leonardo," Olly said menacingly.
Leo watched in terror as his brothers and sisters were constricted by the metal coils as he faced the mind-controlled Olly who moved towards him while Shredder and his minions watched the spectacle. "I don't want to fight you anymore!" He told Olly while bowing his head before clenching his eyes shut and then standing up, "I was resentful of you before because I didn't understand what you had that I didn't. But now I get it," Leo said to Olly with a sad smile.
Olly yelled as he swung his axe at Leo, who dodged many times as he backed up. "I always thought that Master Splinter and your father chose you to lead because they were disappointed in how I did things," He said before he dodged a jab from Olly, but he slipped and fell on his back before Olly grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up as Leo looked down at him and the others. "But when I see what's happening to you, and what's happening to them, I realize that it wasn't about me," He said while looking at their family.
"Is that so?" Olly questioned as he drew the claws on his other hand.
"You weren't chosen because you were stronger or smarter, they chose you because they knew you were scared," Leo said as Olly raised his claws as his eye twitched, "It's scary always being the one responsible for the lives you protect. For your team… your family," He continued as the others heard Leo's words as they teared up. "But you still carried that burden anyway, because that's what it means to be a leader and a hero," Leo then gave a sorrowful look. "If this is it, I want you to know I finally understand why you are a true leader…and I'm sorry I couldn't be that for you," He said with his hands raised with tear-filled eyes.
Olly looked at Leo after listening to his words, which made him start twitching while his hand with his claws shook as he looked at Leo before he blinked and teared up. In an abyss, a green spark lit up as a green shockwave burst out of Olly, which shocked Shredder and his minions at what they saw as Olly dropped Leo and started straining and yelling in pain while clutching his head.
"Olly, I know you're still in there! Come on, come back! Your family needs you!" Leo pleaded to the Green-Clad Turtle.
Olly groaned before he removed his hands and looked at Leo with a small tearful smile. "Leo?" He asked hopefully.
"Yes!" Leo said in joy as he rushed up to him.
"Stop him!" Shredder yelled as Stockman pressed a button, which caused another metal coil to wrap around Leo and trapped him as he struggled to move.
Leo strained before he gave a determined look to the others. "Mikey, Donnie, Raph, girls, we can fight this!" He shouted with a glare.
"Right, Olly's doing this for us, so we do it for him!" Vee shouted as well as in the abyss with the green light, a Cyan and Blue light circled with it.
"Shredder and the Foot thinks we're weak…" Leo continued as Ames and Mikey, clenched their fists as their Hamato Ninpo marking appeared while in the abyss an Orange and Pink light joined with the others.
"Only because they've taken us down when we're alone…" Vee went on as Raph and Jenny clenched their teeth while their markings also appeared and in the abyss a Red and Yellow light appeared next.
"But they haven't seen what we can do…" Leo continued as Naomi, Donnie, and Tal strained as their markings appeared and in the abyss, Purple, Periwinkle, and Brown colored lights lit up next with the others.
"When we fight together!" Both Leo and Vee exclaimed as their marks appeared and the sparks began to crack the sphere holding the lights as the Foot Clan watched as the Turtles glowed their respective colors around the chamber in shock.
"They, broke my spell?!" Kitsune said in shock.
"Impossible!" Tigerclaw exclaimed in rage.
"It is pointless to resist!" Shredder yelled as each of the turtles were moving to break free from their binds. "Just give up and accept your doom like all other slain by the Foot!" He ordered them.
"Fat chance Shredhead," Leo shot back as he got one arm free, "We're not like everyone else you've face before,"
"That's right!" Vee exclaimed as she glowed cyan as she felt her power building. "We are…"
Ames and Mikey felt their powers returned as they glared while glowing their respective colors. "The Teenage…" They started.
"Mutant…" Donnie and Tal yelled next as their powers returned next.
"Hamato…" Olly and Naomi yelled next, Olly had broken free from his mind control, as his and Naomi's powers returned.
"Ninja…" Raph and Tal yelled as they felt their powers back.
"...TURTLES!" Leo and Vee finished, their eyes were pure white as their powers were last to return. Leo managed to grab one of his swords and threw it at Shredder, which nearly stabbed him as it hit the wall; the sword glowed and Leo teleported behind him and his minions.
Leo smirked as he opened another portal behind him as Raph, surrounded by his energy giant, charged out before he punched Fishface in the face, knocking him into the water below.
Tigerclaw was then surrounded by Jenny, zooming around him in a yellow flash before she attacked him from all sides, knocking him into the water next.
Bebop then ready his mohawk for a blast, but then glowing chains wrapped around him before he was swung around by Mikey; he hit a few pillars with a pig squeal as he crashed into the water.
Rahzar roared as he was about to ready his claws, but was surrounded by multiple Ames as they lashed their whips at him from all sides before the real Ames reeled him and kicked him into the water.
Koya gave a squawk as she was about to grab Naomi with her talons, but the brown-clad turtle then created a shield around herself, which caused Koya to break her talons against, making her shriek in pain before Naomi backflipped over her and used her shield to push Koya into the water with the others.
Rocksteady gave a roar as he pawed the ground with his leg and charged at Tal, but she used her Healing Hands on herself, which caused her to glow in cyan-purple as Rocksteady was about to stab her with his horn, but Tal raised her hand and grabbed his horn, keeping him still. Rocksteady was shocked as he tried to push harder, but then Tal flipped him over her shoulder as he screamed and splashed into the water.
Stockman started spitting acid at Donnie, but he dodged each one as he pulled the broken machine around them, glowing with purple energy, before rebuilding them into laser guns and blasting Stockman into the water.
Olly then charged as he swung his axe at Newtralizer, who was dodging each swing as he used his electrical abilities to try and block them, but then Olly charged up his axe with green fire as he swung it and sent a wave of flames at Newtralizer, which caught him off guard as he screamed and fell into the water.
Vee and Kitsune are fighting as well as they clash with each other's weapons. Kitsune fought her chain-ball, but Vee managed to predict each strike as she dodged them with ease before reeled her fans back before throwing them at Kitsune and knocked her into the water with the others.
With Leo, he is clashing blades with the Shredder, who is fighting in a fit of rage as he tried to get a strike on Leo, but Leo kept using his portals to avoid them and surprised Shredder in a sneak attack while using his swords to teleport behind him while he's distracted as when Shredder charged at him with a roar, Leo opened a portal in front of him, which Shredder charged through before another appeared over the water as Shredder roared before he hit the water.
The Turtles all stood together triumphantly with their Hamato Ninpo markings glowing and weapons in hand while they all gave victorious smirks. "If this ain't the epic hero pose, someone is getting fired," Mikey declared.
But the Victory was short-lived when Shredder shot out of the water and landed behind the surprised turtles with a murderous expression, "Hamato Yoshi taught you well," Shredder admitted as his minions landed behind him looking just as vengeful, "But this game is not over yet," He said with venom.
The turtles turned with shrunken pupils and worried looks, "Aw, sewerapples." They all muttered in unison, as they realized that their fight had only just begun.
But before any of the villains could make a move, a flash bomb landed near them, blinding them, "RUN!" Miwa shouted from the other side.
"Miwa!" Leo called in surprise.
"No time! Let's go! We gotta get out of here!" Miwa called out as the turtles nodded and started running off while the Foot began to get their bearings as they saw them rushing towards Miwa and through a portal.
"No! I will not let you escape this time!" Shredder yelled as he charged at the portal with his warriors following behind him.
On Turtle Island, Miwa and Turtles landed on the ground, "Run!" Olly ordered as they sped off into the jungle before the Foot Warriors came out from the portal and gave chase.
"So this is the Tartarugas' home?" Fishface commented as he looked around the forest. "I must say, not a bad landmark." He added.
"Focus, Xever! We can't let them get away!" Rahzar growled.
The turtles and Miwa ran through the woodland terrain, trying to use it to shake the Foot off their trail but they were persistent, "We can't shake them!" Ames cried.
"Not to nitpick, but do you actually have a plan?!" Raph asked Miwa as they kept running.
"This is the plan!" Miwa answered as they rounded a bend before they found themselves cornered in the Shell Arena.
"This is your plan?! We're trapped!" Donnie exclaimed as they turned and saw the Foot Warriors approaching.
Miwa narrowed her eyes and drew her tanto, "Stay behind me guys," She told the turtles as she stood bravely in front of the turtles.
"Move aside daughter, or be cut down alongside the turtles," Shredder warned.
"I am not your daughter, and you aren't touching my brothers and sisters without going through me!" Miwa said firmly while holding her tanto up, but then Master Splinter, The O'Neil Sisters, Casey, Keno, Caitlyn, and Zach jumped out in front of them, "Father!" Miwa said with a smile.
"Sensei!" The four brothers cheered.
"Guys!" The islander turtles finished.
April shot them a smirk while fanning herself, "Sorry to keep you waiting," She quipped.
"Hope we didn't miss the party, yo," Casey said while shouldering his hockey stick.
"How foolish of you, old friend. Bringing mere infants to fight your battles," Shredder said to Splinter as they all glared at him.
"Leave my children out of this Saki, it is only I you desire," Splinter told his ex-brother with a scowl.
"Of course, that is why I captured them to begin with and used Olivier like the puppet he is," Shredder sneered as Olly growled and moved to attack but Splinter blocked him, "That has always been your weakness, your attachment to weaklings,"
"It's called Family, Shredder! And family sticks together no matter what." Leo retorted firmly as they all stood ready for a fight.
The Foot warriors in turn readied their weapons, "Then, I will see that this family is wiped out together!" Shredder declared while raising his blades and got ready to charge.
"Stop!" They all looked up and saw Dariyasa and Orimura standing atop the main podium, weapons drawn, "Attack them and you attack us, Shredder!" Orimura stated with a glare.
"Orimura," Tigerclaw growled while clenching his claws.
"Mother! Father!" Olly called out with a wide smile as Dariyasa and Orimura smiled and nodded to him.
"Oh how heartwarming, two more members of this family," Shredder mocked, "I'll deal with you both later!"
Then Ryuga stepped out from one of the branch bleachers, with his spear in hand, "I don't think so, Shredder!" He said firmly as the Foot turned to him, "On this island, we are all family. So when you take one of us, you get all of us!" He declared as Harumi, Hopu, Old Charles, the Mutanimals and the whole Shell Tribe came out from their hiding places in the arena.
The Foot Warriors soon found themselves surrounded by what looked like hundreds of Turtle warriors, all armed and ready for battle while the turtles looked around in awe, "Miwa, you sly dog," Leo said with a grin to Miwa, who was smirking proudly.
"Remember, it was me who set ambushes that actually worked on you," Miwa bragged.
"Snap Dizzle," Bebop muttered worriedly.
"That's a lot of turtles," Newtralizer commented.
"Nyte, it is entire army of turtles," Rocksteady said while slowly reading his fists.
"As if ten was already shocking the first time, but seeing the whole island with your own eyes, still shocking," Rahzar muttered.
"Urm, I think we are in trouble," Fishface said in concern.
"We are seriously outnumbered," Koya stated.
"Thizzz izzz more than I can handle." Stockman-Fly buzzed while looking around in fright.
"An entire group of turtles, forged in the name of the Hamato Clan," Kitsune said in shock. "They have truly been reborn."
"Master Shredder, there is no winning this fight," Tigerclaw told Shredder, "We must leave now or our fates are sealed."
Shredder glared in rage, refusing to run like a coward even when his chances of are zero. Orimura then jumped down, "Shredder, you'd be wise to see that these odds are not in your favor, leave now or suffer defeat," He told the man.
"I will not be undermined by mere turtles!" Shredder yelled as he drew his blades. "I will not be defeated again!"
"Then let us settle this as warriors; you and I one on one, the victor decides the loser's fate," Orimura said pointing his sword at the Shredder, "Unless the leader of this mockery of the Mighty Foot Clan is little more than a coward who lets mere circus animals fight his battles!" He announced to his tribe.
The Shell Tribe then started laughing, especially the Mighty Mutanimals, and the New Yorker teams while Splinter gave a slight chuckle when he saw Shredder's shocked expression through his helmet while the Foot Warriors glared at the tribe at their mockery.
"They dare call us a mockery!?" Rahzar growled.
"Aye, it's insulting!" Fishface stated.
Kitsune however, looked at her comrades, what the Foot had been reduced to in pursuit of destroying the Turtles, nothing like the Clan she was told about as a child, leaving her to remember what they had done and questioning what it had cost them.
Shredder growled in rage as he clenched his fist. "I'm going to enjoy carving that shell of yours, off your cold lifeless body!" He shouted in rage as he charged at Orimura while he did as well.
But when they met in the middle, the Grandmaster grabbed the Foot Leader by the arm and flipped over onto the ground. Shredder turned himself over to look at Orimura as he gave a glare and marched towards him.
"your men captured my son, turned him into your slave, used him to capture my students, invade my island and worst of all: you messed with my girls," Orimura listed with a growl before smirking and cracking his knuckls, "So this will hurt, I will enjoy it," he promised as Shredder narroowed his eyes and drew his blades.
The Turtles, Splinter, Humans and Foot Warriors had jumped out of the Arena and onto the outer edge as the Shell Tribe warriors slammed their weapons or fists against the arena's branches, in perfect unison. They all watched as Orimua and Shredder circled each other before they clashed again. Sparks flew off as metal clashed with metal between the two Ninja Masters, both seeming evenly matched.
"You think Grandmaster Orimura can win?" April asked in concern, though she knew the Black-clad turtle was strong, so was Shredder.
"Yeah, Shredder's not exactly a push over," Keno pointed out.
"Oh, Shredder may be a good fighter, but he never met father." Olly said with a smirk. "So how about we sit back and enjoy the fight?" He suggested.
"Wait, seriously? Just like that?" Raph questioned in surprise.
"Raph, trust us." Jenny said with a smirk as well. "When father gets serious, it's never safe to be on the receiving end of it," She said.
Orimura and Shredder kept fighting as they clashed blades, but then Shredder managed to grab Orimura and spun him around as Orimura crashed into a wall and fell to his feet before he stood up while Shredder walked towards him with his claws scratching the ground. "I will rid the world of vile monsters!" Shredder called as he tried to jab Orimura, but he then gave a strong palm strike to Shredder's right arm, causing him to clutch it and stagger back.
"The only monster here is you, Oroku Saki!" Orimura yelled as he charged as Shredder tried to slash him, but Orimura was quicker as he hit the nerves of Shredder's arms, causing them to go limp as he delivered a double palm strike to his chest, knocking him back again.
Shredder stumbled as his armor shuttered and his legs gave out, falling to his knees. He then watched helplessly as Orimura picked him up by the shoulder before delivering a powerful punch to the head, knocking him flat on his back and knocking his helmet off. Shredder tried to pick himself up, only to find Orimura's sword to his head as the arena was deathly silent.
"Go ahead, do it. Finish me," Shredder told the Black-clad turtle but Orimura merely scowled.
"You'd like that wouldn't you, to die knowing you were the one to turn me into a murder like you. Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but this battle is already finished and can't kill what is already dead," Orimura said firmly, keeping his sword pointed at Shredder, "Yield to me," He ordered.
"...Very well," Shredder said reluctantly.
Orimura wasn't satisfied though as he brought his sword in closer, "For all to hear!" He demanded.
Shredder glared at him strongly before he gave in. "I…yield!" He yelled out with his down.
Orimura nodded while the crowd all cheered while the Foot Warriors looked in shock as Orimura lowered his sword and picked up the Kuro Kabuto, "Now, leave my island. And never dare set foot in New York or near my family again." He ordered as he then began to walk off as the Turtles, Splinter and the humans came over to congratulate him.
Shredder managed to get himself up to his legs as he glared at Orimura as Splinter held his shoulder with a smile while the young ones praised him for victory. Shredder then clenched his fist and ready his blades and then rushed forward, about to stab Splinter from behind but Orimura sensed this as he quickly reached his sword and then…
SLASH!
Shredder fell back, screaming in pain as his right arm was holding where his left arm is…or was.
"Holy Chalupa!" Mikey exclaimed while the others gasped in horrified shock; April, Robyn, and Ames covered their mouths while Raph, Casey, and Keno held their arms as the crowd mirrored their reactions.
Orimura glared at Shredder who trembled and moaned in pain, cleaning the red off his sword, while Splinter and Dariyasa looked in shock at what Shredder almost did, the latter covering her mouth, "Never forget, Oroku, I could've taken your life." Orimura said with slight venom in his tone as he sheathed his sword.
Lying across from Shredder was his left arm, completely severed with his claw broken off. The Foot Warriors then rushed up to Shredder as they looked at him in shock. "Master Shredder!" Tigerclaw called in concern as they looked at their master.
"Don't worry Master, we got you," Rahzar said as he and Newtralizer helped him up.
"Oi, that's bad," Koya said with a cringe.
"Aye-ye-ye." Fishface said to them.
"Dang, that's nasty, yo!" Bebop exclaimed while seeing what remained of Shredder's arm.
Kitsune looked at Shredder with a scowl before she turned to Tigerclaw, "Tigerclaw, we are leaving now!" She ordered firmly.
Tigerclaw nodded as Stockman opened a portal back to their Lair and the Foot walked through it while he turned to their enemies. "You may have won this time, but don't count the Foot out for long." He warned as he was the last to enter the portal.
They all saw the portal closed as the Tribe then all cheered in victory as Orimura handed the Kuro Kabuto to Splinter as Dariyasa walked up to her husband and gave him a kiss.
The two then turned to Olly, who was smiling heartily to his parents as they walked up to him and gave him a heartfelt hug, which surprised him but quickly returned with a smile.
"Welcome home, my son," Dariyasa said, tears of relief streaming down her eyes.
"It's good to be back." Olly said tearfully as the others all looked at the reunion with tears of joy while Raph, Casey, and Jenny tried to act tough.
"I saw that, tough guys," Olly teased as they all looked at the three. "It's okay. Even the tough ones need to cry."
"No-no-no, Fishface got my eye back there and," Raph tried to lied before giving up.
"Alright so we're not made of stone," Jenny admitted.
"But that doesn't mean we're not tough!" Casey quickly said as they all laughed a bit.
Olly then turned to Leo, "And thanks for not giving up on me, Leo," He said gratefully.
"That's what brothers are for," Leo said with a smile, "And it's good to have our real leader back," He added before he and Olly fistbumped as Naomi approached Olly.
"Now that we're out of danger," Naomi started before she punched Olly in the face as the other 'ooh'ed and hissed, "That's for nearly giving me a heart attack," She said with a look while Olly rubbed his jaw.
"Oh, is-is this how it's gonna be for now on?" Olly asked before Naomi quickly grabbed him by the strap and covered their faces with her hat, which stood that way for a moment before they heard a smack as she lowered the hat and separated from Olly, who stood there in stunned with his original green mask which Naomi managed to put back on.
"And that's, for everything else." Naomi finished with a warm smile.
Olly then formed a smile after recovering from the sudden kiss. "I can get used to this." He said with a smile.
The others all smiled at them as they looked at one another and they huddled around the two turtles as the crowd in the arena still cheered them on as they looked at the whole Tribe, their family with smiles.
Mikey frowned however and turned to his brothers, "Guys, do you think we've finally seen the last of Shredder and the Foot," He asked hopefully.
"Don't worry, Mikey," Donnie assured, "Shredder won't be forgetting this lesson anytime soon."
"Yeah, and he won't be able to clap again either," Raph added while holding his arm.
Vee gave a disgusted look, "Can you not wave that thing around, that's just not right," She pleaded as they turned and saw what Vee was looking at, which was Raph holding Shredder's severed arm.
"Hey, it may be gross, but it's like you're actually moving Shredder himself." Raph said with a grin before blinking at their disturbed faces, "What?" He asked with a brow.
"You, are seriously twisted," Caitlyn stated simply.
"Thanks," Raph said with a smile. "Leo said that first time we saved April from the Kraang."
"And now, it's all come full circle." Leo said as they all shared a laugh while their parents watched in amusement, knowing that they had not only rescued their leader/teammate but they had also beaten the Shredder and the Foot for now, and if they dared to return they'd be ready.
On his bed, Shredder had bandages over his face, severed arm, and othered injuries areas while Stockman worked on some equipment while his servants looked at him, "Thizzz, Equipment should help keep you alive Mazzzter but I cannot guarantee that, bzzz, you will recover anytime soon or at all," Stockman explained while working at Shredder's life support.
"I… will not be undone because of a wretched turtle." Shredder moaned with venom in his tone. "Even, as a prisoner of my own body…I will have my vengeance… and you all will do whatever it takes to-"
"No." Kitsune said firmly as the mutants turned to her in surprise.
"What?" Shredder asked with pitiful anger as he glared weakly at Kitsune as she removed her mask.
"Saki, this vendetta has gone on long enough," Kitsune spoke up with seriousness. "When Khan and I found you and told you of your true heritage years ago our hope was that you would restore our clan and our honor. You could have chosen to care for Karai, no, for Miwa out of love and let her have her happiness, you could have chosen to face Hamato Yoshi in fair combat, you could have chosen to stand against the Kraang and you could have chosen to have taken your defeat by Orimura with grace our honor intact." She listed out in anger as the mutants looked at her in shock at what she was saying.
"But instead, you choose your obsession with Hamato Yoshi's demise and his clan's destruction, no matter the risks or consequences you caused yourself or others." Kitsune said in disappointment as Shredder looked at her in shock, "You're insane, Saki!"
"It was Splinter!" Shredder yelled weakly. "He is the one who started all this! He took Tang Shen away from me!"
"You did that to yourself when you cut her down! And she was never yours to begin with! Your hatred of one man has just sent our Clan's entire legacy down in disgrace!" Kitsune exclaimed with a glare. "You don't deserve Shen! You don't deserve my help! You don't deserve anyone's help!" She yelled firmly as she glared at Shredder. "I will no longer be part of this senseless war of yours, Shredder!" She yelled with a wave of her arm and threw her mask away.
As she walked out she gave a look to the shocked mutants, "And if you and the others are smart, Tigerclaw, you will leave this husk of a clan and forge your own path," she said coldly before she walked out of the room.
The Foot Warriors watched in shock as they heard Shredder breathing heavily and slowly turned to him in fear while backing away. The heart monitor beeps fast as Shredder clenches his remaining hand in rage.
"SPLINTER!!!!" Shredder roared with so much hate as it echoed throughout his mansion and into the woods as the birds flew out.
Whoo! Now that was something! Olly's returned, we've seen the Turtles combined their powers together and Shredder's seen first hand what he is up against.
I used several references during Shredder and Orimura's duel and unlike in the Canon Shredder's dishonor and obsession with revenge has cost him three things: His control of New York, his former loyal Right-hand and his literally left hand.
Like I said, this story moves far beyond the Canon and don't worry, we'll be seeing Kitsune again.
Next time though, we won't be jumping into the Triceratons Debut but instead we'll be introducing a character who I felt deserved more screen time, who am I talking about? Stay tuned.
