A/N: Due to the storyline, Elisa and Cath only appear in the first half of this one.
Please read and review?
In an alley in 2007, during a full moon, a rat ran across an alley, the same alley the Turtles had first thought the Purple Dragons and the Foot.
"A long time ago..." Mikey began.
The rat turned and ran away, as the Utrom Shredder marched across the alley road.
"...in a back alley far, far away..."
Shredder stopped as several Purple Dragons walked towards him from down the alley, including Hun and Dragon Face, who was now bald.
"…actually, it was the one just off Broadway and Canal..."
Across the alley, where a bunch of mobsters and Dr. Malignus, who stood with Shredder, Hun and the Purple Dragons.
"...Ahem, the forces of evil had assembled for their ultimate reign of terror on an unsuspecting city."
Silver Sentry came flying up from over a rooftop at the end of the alley, hovering over the
Silver Sentry appears, outlined by the full moon, he hovers there for a moment, and then dives.
"Only one hero could stop them…"
Silver Sentry flew down over the villains, who moved as he turned to fly over them, before Hun grabbed his ankle.
"Ah!" he gasped.
Hun pulled on him, slamming him against the ground on his back.
"…and it wasn't him."
Shredder raised his arms up as the other villains surrounded Silver Sentry, now including some members of the Foot.
"AH!" Shredder roared.
Suddenly, Micky came swinging down on a cable, dressed in his Turtle Titan Justice Force gear, along with his old shield.
"No..."
He swung towards the villains and kicked Shredder, Hun, two Purple Dragons and a Foot Ninja away from Silver Sentry.
"...it was… the Turtle Titan!"
The villains moaned as they hit the ground, as he landed on his feet and looked around.
Hun came up behind him and wrapped his arms around Mikey.
"Ah!" he yelped.
Hun laughed as he lifted him up, before Mikey banged his face with his shield, making Hun drop him as he backed away.
"Oh!" he moaned, before he fell onto his back.
Dr. Malignus came forward and tried to claw Mikey, but missed as he dodged to his left, then kicked the Dr. in the back, knocking him away. He grinned and turned to two Foot Ninjas - one cracking his knuckles - who both prepared themselves. The first sent a kick at Mikey, who dodged and then punched his chest, knocking him away, then he ducked as the other tried to pounce on him, before he hit him with his shield, knocking him away.
Shredder growled as he held up his gauntlet, then Mikey backed away as he tried to slash and punch him, before he punched Mikey's shield, knocking him back.
"Ah!" Mikey yelped, falling onto some steps.
He looked around and saw a fire escape platform above him on his right, before turning to Shredder. He jumped slightly and kicked Shredder away with both feet, before he turned and took out his cable holder. He shot a rope from it towards the fire escape, then swung forward on it, as Shredder came up behind him and tried to slash him with is gauntlet. Mikey kicked his feet against a wall, then he turned and swung towards Shredder to kick him, but missed as he ducked, but then he turned in mid-air and threw his shield at him, which hit Shredder and knocked him away.
"AH!" he moaned.
Mikey stood on the ground, his hands on his hips as the wind blew his cape.
"Curse you, Turtle Titan!" Shredder roared, before he fell unconscious.
Soon, Mikey stood on a pile of all the villains, with Hun and Dr. Maglinus at the bottom, Dragon Face in the middle, and Shredder on top, all moaning as he held his shield up. Silver Sentry got up near Mikey, stars swimming around his head, before he held his hand up.
His eyes close. Cut to all of the villains stacked up in a large pile. Turtle Titan stands atop the bodies, striking another pose. Silver Sentry, stars swimming around his head, reaches up to shake Michelangelo's hand.
"Thanks, pal." he said, shaking Mikey's hand, before he fainted.
The background changed, with Mikey standing behind a large, waving American flag, with New York City behind it.
"And there you have it, the true story of the legendary Turtle Titan!" Mikey said.
His costume changed, now wearing a business suit, hat, and glasses.
"Who, disguised as Michelangelo, mild mannered Ninja Turtle, fought a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the terrapin way."
A pair of Turtle hands slapped him.
"Ah!" he yelped.
(Reality)
Mikey stood on a table in the living room of Cody's penthouse, with the other Turtles standing nearby with their arms folded, with Cody sitting in front of them.
"Hey, that ain't how it happened." Raph said, as he and Elisa had slapped him. "Grr."
"You just made most of that up." Elisa frowned. "You never did any of that stuff."
They all glared at Mikey, while Cody blinked.
"What? All good stories need a teeny bit of embellishing here and there." he said, holding up his right hand in an O shape.
He shurgged with his arms out as the others kept staring at him.
Later, the Turtles, Cody and Serling were all walking down a city street.
"And then, the Turtle Titan invented the telephone, after ridding the world of all known diseases." Leo said.
"Yeah, and after that the Turtle Titan single-handedly clobbered all the Nazis in World War II." Raph joked, touching Leo's and Donnie's shoulders.
"And then, the Turtle Titan helped save a whole city from a nuclear meltdown by sheer luck." Elisa joked.
"Right. And then he explained the theory of relativity to Albert Einstein." Donnie joked.
"And after that, he helped a bunch of people get away from a fire which he later found out had been a practical joke gone too far." Cath joked.
They all started laughing, while Mikey crossed his arms, looking angry.
"Sheesh. A guy adds a few tiny little details to an otherwise true story and suddenly he's branded for life." he said sarcastically.
"About that true story, I've scanned my entire database archives and can't find anything remotely resembling it." Serling said, shooting a hologram of records with his eyes in front of him.
Mikey chuckled as the hologram vanished.
"You believe me, right, Cody?" he asked hopefully.
Cody hummed before he turned left as they stopped at the end of the street.
"Oh, look, we're just in time to see the traveling museum exhibit." he said.
Everyone looked across the street, seeing a group of Humans and aliens waiting on the sidewalk, but no museum across the street.
"Maybe my shell's on too tight, but I don't see no museum, Cody." Raph said, puzzled.
"Yeah, me neither." Elisa said, frowning slightly. "I just see a bunch of people waiting around."
A loud noise made them all look up, seeing a large flying craft approaching them, before it landed on the open pad between two buildings across the street.
"I told you, it's a traveling museum." Cody said.
A holographic display activated on the side of the craft, which read 'International Museum of Antiquities', with a pyramid behind it. The door slid open, then the crowd began to enter it.
"The master figured you vulgarians could use a spot of culture." Serling said.
They all began to approach the museum.
"If I want culture, I'll order a yogurt. Hmm? Whoa." Mikey said.
He stopped and looked at a holographic sign on a building that showed two people skating, with a 'No' sign, and the letters 'GRAV'.
"Xero-G skating! That's more my speed." he said.
"So is competitive belching, but we shan't be doing that today either." Serling said, touching his shoulder, before leading him along.
"But I'm allergic to culture." Mikey complained.
Serling held him by the shoulders and pushed him into the museum as the others walked in.
"I'm supposed to avoid all places with boring, musty old…" Mikey said.
Serling let him go in front of a wall displaying comic books, which including Silver Sentry and Nobody, who also had a sidekick dressed a bit like Robin.
"…comic books?" he said.
"Didn't I mention this is an exhibit of 20th century pop culture?" Cody asked.
Mikey looked around, seeing an arcade area among other things.
"Yes!" he whooped.
He raced over to a candy display.
"Junk food! My sweet scrumptious empty calories of high fat goodness!" he said, touching his stomach.
He started scooping up candy and tossing it into his mouth, but then stopped and spat it out.
"Bleh!" he said, disgusted.
Serling came up behind him as he began to wipe his mouth.
"I suppose I could have mentioned those are merely plastic reproductions, but that was much more amusing." Serling joked, before he slapped Mikey's shell.
Nearby, Leo and Elisa were standing on a skate ramp, staring at a display of skateboards, before Leo took one off the wall, which was orange with a red arrow on.
"Times may change but a good shred is forever!" he said, as he began skating down the ramp.
He skated up and jumped high up the other end, before he turned around and dived down, then skated back along the ramp, before he jumped up and landed on the other end, holding his skateboard in his hands.
"Well, this is something Mikey'll love." Elisa remarked.
"Yeah. You gonna try it?" Leo asked.
"Nah, you know me, Leo. I'd rather have my bike or my skates back." Elisa said. "They're more my taste."
"Okay." Leo said, before he jumped and began skateboarding again.
Meanwhile, Mikey, Cody and Serling were in the comic book exhibit, staring at a Justice Force comic. One the cover were all the original Justice Force members, along with Ananda and Mikey.
"Is that you with the original Justice Force?" Cody asked, surprised.
"Told you I had superhero street cred." Mikey said, touching his shoulder. "That was from the time Turtle Titan took on Galacticus."
"Mikey, I have to tell you something." Cody sighed.
Before he could continue, a loud thumping noise make them turn, which knocked Leo off his skateboard.
"AH!" he yelped.
He fell onto his shell as the skateboard went flying away.
"Leo!" Elisa gasped, jumping towards him.
The skateboard kept flying away and hit Serling's head, making his eyes pop out.
"OH!" he yelped.
He shook his head as his eyes popped back in, then glared Cody and Mikey, who both laughed.
"You could have caught that." Serling scowled.
"Yeah, but that was much more amusing." Mikey smirked.
Leo, Donnie and the girls gathered around them as another loud thump was heard.
"Sounds like trouble." Leo said.
Raph stood by the entrance and saw Triple-Threat walking down the street, holding a car over his head, which he smashed against the ground, while smoke came out of other trashed vehicles.
"Yeah, triple trouble." Raph said, pointing at him.
"Not that three-headed idiot!" Elisa exclaimed, cracking his knuckles.
"You got it, sis." Raph said.
Triple-Threat approached the museum, as a Peacekeeper car flew after him, sirens wailing.
"I thought you said you had a plan." Teal said.
"Red I do have a plan!" Red growled.
He walked towards the museum as people out front ran off scared.
"We bust out of jail and break stuff." Red said.
"Then let's start here." Teal suggested.
He entered the museum and walked over to the comic display case, before putting his hands together.
"Ooh, pretty colors." Yellow said.
He smashed the display case and grabbed the comic, then opened it up as the alarm blared, before the Turtles showed up in front of him, all holding their weapons.
"The only colors you're gonna see are black and blue, Triple-Threat." Raph snarled, as he looked up.
"And a whole lot of green." Donnie smirked.
"Drop the comic and nobody gets hurt!" Mikey demanded, pointing at him.
"I don't do 'nobody gets hurt'." Red spat, pointing at him. "Yah!"
He punched the floor, cracking it open, which caused the museum to shake.
"Ah!" the Turtles gulped, wobbling.
Displays behind them all came loose from their moorings, with electricity coming from the upper displays on holders.
"AH!" people screamed, running away, as a guitar display hit the floor.
"You guys weren't kidding about their personalities." Cath noted.
"We told you." Elisa said. "Red's a madman, Yellow's a psycho, and Teal's the clam one."
"It's ninja time!" the siblings yelled.
They all charged towards Triple-Threat, who turned and ran off.
"He's headed towards the ship's cockpit!" Cody exclaimed.
The cockpit door opened, then Triple-Threat entered and approached the pilot, who was a brown-skinned alien with yellow eyes.
"Time to shift gears." Teal joked.
The pilot turned around, before Triple-Threat grabbed him and tossed him aside.
"AH!" he yelled.
Triple-Threat sat down in the chair and began pressing buttons on the controls.
"Why steal one rare comic book when you can steal a whole museum?" Teal joked.
People outside fled screaming as the museum began to lift off, the hologram logo vanishing as it did. while the remaining visitors inside got flung around.
People flee screaming from the museum and then it lifts off. The visitors inside are flung around as the flying craft tips from side to side.
"Look out!" he said, turning the wheel.
The craft bounced off a building, before it turned and dived down, then it hit part of the Chrystal building, before he flew upwards.
The craft bounces off of buildings, knocking chunks off of several.
"Whee!" Yellow whooped.
The craft smashed nose first into the side of a building near its roof, getting itself wedged into it.
"AHH!" the Turtles and Cody yelped, flying across a room. "Uh!"
Donnie, Cath, Raph and Mikey all hit their shells against a wall, while the rest stopped near it.
"Cool. Let's smash more buildings!" Red roared.
"Forget it. This time I do the driving." Teal spat, pressing some buttons.
He dethatched the cockpit from the main building and flew off, as the Turtles, Cody and Serling watched.
"Help, help!" a woman cried.
They all turned right, seeing a blue skinned alien woman hanging from the side of the museum by her fingers at the entry ramp.
"Aah!" she screamed.
"Hang on, lady! No one's going sidewalk sushi on my watch." Mikey said, as he dived for her.
The woman lost her grip before Mikey could grab her, and began to plummet down towards the ground.
"AHHHH!" she screamed.
Suddenly, a figure zoomed towards her, wearing an outfit similar to Mikey's Justice Force Turtle Titan costume, only with a turtle's belly on his chest, no cape, and had jetpack boosters on the shell, while his clear mouth showed he was African-American.
"Easy, miss." he said, before he caught her.
"Whoa. This guy's good." Mikey admitted.
"You're safely under the shell of Turtle Titan!" the hero said, circling around.
He flew up past Mikey and the museum, who turned to him.
"Turtle Titan?" he exclaimed.
Two Peacekeeper bikes flew by.
"Wait. Officer, arrest that guy!" Mikey demanded. "He ripped off my act!"
Leo sat near him as the museum began to shake.
"I think we have bigger problems." Leo said.
The museum shook loose from the building and began to plummet towards the ground, right where it had landed.
"AHHH!" the Turtles yelled.
Turtle Titan II and several other people watched in horror.
"I..." Leo gulped.
Turtle Titan II flew up towards the museum and shot a cable into a vent, before he swung on it. He landed near the control panel at the top and opened up the hatch.
"Aha! The anti-grav unit." he said.
He pushed the switch up, making the museum straighten out, then lower its descent slowly, before it landed on the ground. The Turtles, Cody and Serling all stood by the ramp, as the gathered crowd cheered for Turtle Titan II, who waved at them.
"Thank you, thank you!" he said.
"Hey, what are you cheering for?" Mikey exclaimed. "He's nothing but a cheap knockoff."
He pointed at Turtle Titan II, before Donnie patted his shoulder.
"Easy, Mikey. That knockoff just saved our shells." he reasoned.
"Yeah. Can you wait 'til later for this, bro?" Cath asked.
Standing near the museum was Biggles, who began writing a report on his clipboard.
Standing near the museum, Constable Biggles begins writing on his clipboard.
"Turtle Titan is a grandstanding glory hound vigilante." he said. "Plus, he left this vehicle in a no parking zone."
He slapped a violation sheet onto the hull of the museum.
Later, Triple-Threat was in a rundown building with a sign reading 'Joe Gym' on the outside, pacing around in a boxing ring, with the comic he'd stolen.
"So we tore up Times Square. So we got our mugs on the news." Teal said. "All we got for it was this lousy comic book. I wanna make lots of money!"
"I wanna break stuff!" Red roared, kicking a stool away.
"I want a pair of x-ray specs." Yellow joked.
"Gimme that." Teal said, pulling the comic.
He began pulling it back and fourth as his heads argued, before a page flipped, showing segments of Dr. Malignus robbing a bank.
"Hey, wait a minute. We can make money and break stuff by becoming a super villain." Red said. "See?"
Meanwhile, in Cody's penthouse, Cody, Serling and the Turtles were watching a newscast of the events in the kitchen, which showed Turtle Titan II waving at the crowd.
"In other news, Turtle Titan saved the day again." a male news anchor said.
The scene shifted to a large crowd of people gathered around a object with a large cloth over it.
"The origins of our beloved superhero are mysterious..."
The cloth is pulled away, revealing a huge statue of Turtle Titan II, flying up past a large T.
"...but our city rests easier..."
Turtle Titan II stood before the statue with the Mayor, before they turned and shook hands.
"...knowing he can be summoned at any time…"
A beacon atop a building shined a giant 'TT' across the sky, but unlike Mikey's, it was against orange.
"...simply by showing his trademark shell signal in the sky. Yes, our Turtle Titan is one of a kind."
The image of Turtle Titan II showed up on the broadcast, before Mikey punched it.
"I'll give you one of a kind, pal." he said angrily, kicking it.
He sent a punch, then a kick, then a punch, then another kick, before he grunted with frustration as he walked towards a small table and sat down on it.
"I'm sorry, Mikey. I didn't want to tell you about the other Turtle Titan 'cause I knew it would upset you." Cody explained, approaching it.
Mikey got up and started punching the hologram again.
"What makes you think I'm upset?" he demanded.
He jumped slightly and knocked the vid machine off its stand, which turned off the hologram and landed on his foot.
"Ow!" he yelped, before he started hopping around, holding his foot. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Ow, off, ow."
He hopped past his siblings, then Serling.
"Savor the moment." Serling said, before he activated a recording of Mikey hopping around from his eyes. "Upload it to memory. Ah."
The hologram vanished, as Cath and Donnie helped Mikey over to the couch, before they helped him sit down, then Cath looked at his foot.
"How is it?" he asked gruffly.
"You're lucky, bro. It's only a burse." Cath said, getting up. "It should go away by tomorrow."
"Thanks." Mikey said, still annoyed by the so-called imposter.
"Look at it this way, Mikey." Donnie said. "The reason you created Turtle Titan in the first place was because you wanted to do something for the greater good."
"That's right, you should be proud you actually inspired someone." Leo said, as he sat down on the couch's arm.
He put his right hand on Mikey's shoulder, before Raph sat down beside him.
"And you gotta admit, this Titan's a big improvement over the original." Raph joked, putting his hands behind his head.
"Hey!" Mikey said offended.
"Mikey, think of it this way; it's like Spider-Man, who had a successor in 2099." Cath reasoned, touching his shoulder.
"Or that Batman Beyond thing you used to watch." Elisa added, standing on Raph's left. "This is similar, since you're not meant to be here."
Mikey looked unconvinced, before he got up.
"That's it! I'm gonna show the world who's the real hero!" he declared, before he ran off.
The others all stared at him.
"This isn't gonna end good." Cath sighed.
That night, the Turtle Titan II's signal beacon shined against the sky, which was on top the Peacekeeper's station. Turtle Titan II flew through the city, before he landed on the rooftop near the signal beacon.
"You signaled, Chief?" he asked.
"No, I signaled." came Mikey's voice.
Turtle Titan II stopped and gasped.
"Huh?" he muttered.
Mikey stepped out of the shadows on the other side of the beacon, wearing his own Turtle Titan gear, seeing Turtle Titan II was a head taller than him.
"Stunned, right? Don't feel bad, I have that effect on the minds of men. But I don't want you to think I'm mad." Mikey said, waving his right forefinger, before putting his fists on his hips. "I'm willing to forget the whole thing. Just admit you stole my gig in a formal public apology."
"Who are you and what's with the cheap knockoff Turtle Titan costume?" Turtle Titan asked, pointing at him.
"Who you calling knockoff, knockoff?" Mikey demanded, holding his left fist up, before poking Turtle Titan II's chest with his finger.
"Now just calm down, citizen." Turtle Titan II said sternly, pointing at him.
"Citizen?" Mikey exclaimed.
He ran and jumped over Turtle Titan II's head, landing right behind him as he turned around.
"Now that's the last straw." Mikey said, pushing him away.
"Hey!" Turtle Titan II yelped.
"Nobody calls me that!" Mikey exclaimed angrily, pointing at him as he turned around.
"What's wrong with citizen?" Turtle Titan II asked, pointing at him.
"It's only superhero code for loser!" Mikey yelled, charging at him. "Which I am not, incidentally."
He pounced on Turtle Titan II, making the pair roll to the ground, wrestling each other. The door suddenly opened up, then Biggles stepped out, as Turtle Titan II lay on his back, his right hand on Mikey's face, who had his left fist raised.
"Who's been mucking about with my shell signal, hmm?" he inquired.
He patted his baton against his hand as Mikey and Turtle Titan II turned to him.
"Your shell signal? I thought you said Turtle Titan was a grandstanding glory hound vigilante." Mikey recalled.
"That's right." Biggles said.
He tased Mikey with his baton, shocking him and knocking him off Turtle Titan II.
"OH!" he moaned, hitting the roof on his belly.
Turtle Titan II got up beside Biggles, as Mikey pulled himself up slightly.
"A grandstanding glory hound vigilante who happens to make my job much easier." Biggles said, as he walked to Turtle Titan II's left.
Mikey jumped up and charged, before he grappled with Turtle Titan II.
"Ah!" he grunted.
Biggles grabbed him by the arm to pull him away.
"But he's not Turtle Titan, I am!" Mikey argued.
"Easy, lad!" Biggles grunted, before Mikey grabbed his baton. "What's all this then…."
Mikey accidently whacked him with his baton, making him stumble towards the railing, looking dizzy.
"A-a-ah!" he yelled, before he fell over.
Mikey and Turtle Titan II both turned to the railing, as Biggles plunged down towards a freeway.
"Oops." Mikey gulped.
"I'll save you, Chief Constable!" Turtle Titan II declared.
He activated his jetpack and began to fly off the roof and down towards Biggles, as Mikey dropped the baton.
"Not if I get there first, poser!" Mikey yelled, waving his left fist up.
He took out and fired his grappling hook at Turtle Titan II, catching the belt, pulling Mikey off the roof as he dived down.
"Oh!" Mikey yelped.
Biggles kept diving down towards the freeway, before Turtle Titan II grabbed him by the armpits and levelled out, before Mikey landed on his back.
"Are you out of your mind?" Turtle Titan II exclaimed, as Mikey retracted his grappling hook.
"Can't stand the heat, get out of the shell." Mikey joked. "Now if you'll excuse us…."
He hopped off Turtle Titan II and onto Biggles.
"Unhand me, you!" Biggles demanded.
Mikey shot his grappling hook at an overhead beam on a rooftop.
"Sure, just as soon as I rescue you!" Mikey said loudly.
He yanked Biggles out of Turtle Titan II's hands, sending him spinning as Mikey shot away with Biggles.
"AH!" Turtle Titan II yelped.
Mikey swung onto the rooftop and landed on his feet, putting Biggles down, who turned to him.
"Turtle Titan does it again." Mikey whooped, retracting his grappling hook.
"Attention all units, arrest the Turtle Titan imposter." Biggles ordered, putting his left wrist to his mouth.
"Now you're talking." Mikey said, thinking he meant Turtle Titan II.
He and Biggles turned and saw five Peacekeeper motorcycles converging on the rooftop, which shined their lights on them.
"Hnnn…" Biggles grunted, glaring at Mikey.
"Wait, you mean me?" Mikey inquired, pointing at himself.
He turned around and ran to the edge of the roof.
"Uh, gotta go!" he said, shooting his grappling hook.
He swung away from the Peacekeepers and smacked right into Turtle Titan II's arms.
"Let's get out of here before you cause any more trouble." he said, as Mikey retracted his grappling hook.
He began to fly off through the city, leading Mikey away from the Peacekeepers.
"Wow, you are pretty good – for an imposter." Mikey admitted, pointing at his head.
"Look, I'm flattered that you wanna be a hero like me and you've shown some raw talent, but you can't just rip off my name and costume." Turtle Titan II said.
Mikey frowned, gritting his teeth as he held his fists up, for Turtle Titan II was reminding him of when he first teamed up with Silver Sentry.
"You're accusing me of ripping you off?" he exclaimed, pointing at himself, then him. "I'm the rippee here!"
He began to rock, making Turtle Titan II wobble.
"Ah! What are you doing?" he demanded, as Mikey got onto his back.
Mikey elbowed his jetpack, knocking it off, which fell towards the ground.
"Oh!" he gasped.
Mikey grabbed his shoulders, before they both began to plummet towards the ground.
"AHHHHH!" they screamed.
They both hit a nearby rooftop and rolled over, Turtle Titan II stopping on his chest, Mikey his shell.
"Why on Earth did you do that?" Turtle Titan II demanded, getting to his knees, pointing at Mikey.
Mikey sat up and rubbed the back of his head, before they got to their feet.
"To level the playing field." Mikey said, waving his fist at Turtle Titan II, before punching his fists out. "Unless you're…."
He flapped his arms like a chicken, clucking as he did, before he turned, but then he stopped as Turtle Titan II grabbed and lifted him up by the shirt.
"What do you want from me, you incredibly annoying citizen?" he demanded.
"Admit it. Admit you copied me and I'm the original Turtle Titan." Mikey demanded.
Turtle Titan II laughed and put Mikey down.
"Nice try, pal, but the original Turtle Titan lived over a hundred years ago." he said.
"That's me. Michelangelo in the green scaly flesh." Mikey explained, pointing at himself, before holding his arms up slightly.
"Huh?" Turtle Titan II muttered, as he stopped laughing. "How did you know his name was Michelangelo? The only other person who knew that was…."
"Silver Sentry!" they both said together.
"Duh. Save his life back in the day." Mikey explained.
"You- - you really are the original." Turtle Titan II realized, pointing at him. "But how…."
"Time travel accident." Mikey explained. "A hero type thing. Happens all the time. And you?"
"Turtle Titan was just a story I heard from my grandfather." Turtle Titan II began.
(Flashback)
A comic book called 'Turtle Titan, tales of Terrapin Justice', with Turtle Titan II on the cover. The comic opened up, sowing him working at a computer in his secret lair, out of costume.
"A story that inspired me to don the turtle mask and shield while refining and improving on the original weaponry."
Images of pieces of his costume showed up on the screen.
"That story gave my life purpose."
(Flashback ends)
"But now that I see what a petty, selfish jerk the original Turtle Titan was – is – I don't want any part of it." Turtle Titan II declared, poking Mikey's left shoulder.
He turned and walked off, leaving Mikey ashamed as he rubbed the back of his right hand. Turtle Titan II shot a grappling hook from his left wrist control, but before he could swing off, he and Mikey heard a loud crash nearby.
"Huh?" he muttered.
He retracted his hook, before he and Mikey looked down from the rooftop, seeing a hole in the 'NY Credit Depot' building near the 'Xero-G Skating Rink' had a large hole in it. A woman screamed and ran off, while inside the lobby was a tank, being driven by Triple-Threat, which had an open roof for his body, as several aliens looked at it.
"We're back!" Yellow said.
The people inside all started running away scared.
"Come on!" a man said.
Triple-Threat jumped out of the tank and landed on the floor, then he held the comic up near Yellow's face, as the people kept running off.
"Hey, where's the gold bars and the bags of cash with dollar signs?" Red demanded.
"This comic book is like a hundred years old." Teal reminded him. "Banks don't have stuff like that anymore."
Red looked disappointed.
"No fair!" Yellow whined. "I want my x-ray specs. Come on!"
"Oh, brother." Teal sighed, touching his head. "That's the last time I let you two drive the body."
He put the comic in his hip area walked over to a row of computers, before he smashed a section and ripped the metal up.
Triple Threat walks over to a row of computers and smashes a section before ripping the metal. He then picks up a chair.
"At least we can still break stuff." Red said proudly, picking up a chair.
He threw it into another row of computers, smashing the control monitor.
Mikey suddenly swung into the lobby through the broken entrance via his grappling hook, landing on his feet.
"Beware evildoers, for it is I, Turtle Titan!" he yelled, pointing at Triple-Threat.
Triple-Threat turned around as Turtle Titan II swung in via his grappling hook, and landed next to Mikey.
"And, uh, the superhero formerly known as Turtle Titan." Mikey added.
"Triple-Threat, meet double trouble." Turtle Titan II joked, pointing at him.
They both grinned at each other.
"Wait, these are superheroes, and if we wanna be super villains, what do we need to do?" Teal asked, turning from Red to Yellow.
"Huh?" Yellow muttered, scratching his head.
"Huh?" Red muttered.
He held up the comic to a page where Dr. Malignus punched Silver Sentry out of a warehouse window, while the next page showed him standing over Silver Sentry.
"See for yourselves." Teal said.
"Oh." all three heads said, grinning.
He reached out and grabbed both Turtle Titans.
"AH!" they yelped, before he held them up and squeezed them.
"I changed my mind! You can be Turtle Titan after all!" Mikey grunted.
He and Turtle Titan II kept grunted as they struggled to get free.
"Let's tear 'em apart!" Red suggested.
"Nah, let's hold them hostage and extort tons of credit from the city." Teal said.
"Let's hollow them out and use them as matching salt and pepper shakers." Yellow said, laughing.
"Normally I would rocket out of these situations, but somebody had to level the playing field." Turtle Titan II said sternly, turning to Mikey.
"Heh, heh, heh." Mikey chuckled nervously. "Can't let that one go, huh?"
"No matter." Turtle Titan II said, taking a round pellet from his belt.
He tossed it at Triple-Threat's chest, which burst and produced a small amount of smoke, making the villain cough as he dropped both Turtle Titans. He rubbed all three of his faces as both heroes looked up at him, before Turtle Titan II pressed a button on his right arm, bringing out a small shield shaped like a turtle's shell.
"On my signal, go!" he said.
He and Mikey both charged and rammed Triple-Threat, only to bounce off him due to his size and strength. They looked up at him, before he punched them both, sending them flying through a glass window.
"Ah!" they moaned, Mikey hitting the ground on his chest, Turtle Titan II on his back.
"Ugh. That was effective." Mikey said sarcastically, as Turtle Titan II sat up and touched his head.
They both got up as Triple-Threat smashed through the wall and approached them.
"Hey, wait a sec." Mikey said.
He turned around to the Xero-G rink, making him grin, before he grabbed Turtle Titan II's hand and led him towards the rink.
"You want a piece of us, lame brains? Come and get us!" he dared.
They jumped into the rink, before Triple-Threat jumped after them, then they both came to a stop in the center of the rink.
"What are you doing?" Turtle Titan II asked.
Mikey shot his grappling hook through the window of the overhead control booth, which caught the handle. Mikey tugged it, pulling back the handle, while the monitor flashed the words 'O-G Engage'.
"Zero gravity engaged." the computer said.
People all around the rink saw a double row of energy field lines circle the rink. Mikey retracted his grappling hook, before he and Turtle Titan II began to float off the ground, followed by the Zero-G gold statue - which had President Bishop on - and Triple-Threat.
"AH!" he yelped.
"Why on Earth did you do that?" Turtle Titan II asked.
"To level the playing field, but in a good way this time." Mikey explained, as he waved his arms forward like he was swimming.
He propelled towards a wall, then put his feet against it, before he kicked away towards Triple-Threat, kicking him with both feet, sending him flying away.
"OH!" Yellow moaned.
The crowd around the rink began to cheer.
"Yeah!" some cheered.
"Wahoo!" a man whooped.
"Go, Turtle Titan!" another said.
"Two Turtle Titans?" a third questioned.
"That's right. Give it up for the OTT – the original Turtle Titan!" Mikey said, waving his hands, before pointing at himself.
He held his fists up as Triple-Threat came up behind him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Mikey said, waving his hand.
"Michelangelo, fall back!" Turtle Titan II yelled.
"A Turtle Titan never falls back. Oh, and way to blow the secret identity…." Mikey said, annoyed, pointing at him.
Turtle Titan II swung towards him via his grappling hook, before he grabbed Mikey and swung off with him, just before Triple-Threat could punch him. He let Mikey go and retracted his grappling hook, before they both turned to Triple-Threat. Turtle Titan II looked up at the statue, which was floating above Triple-Threat, then he looked at the control booth, getting an idea.
"Yes!" he said.
He activated his shield and threw it towards the control booth, smashing the control panel. Mikey gulped as the zero gravity field dropped, sending him, Turtle Titan II and Triple-Threat to the ground.
"OH!" they moaned, all hitting the ground on their backs.
Triple-Threat sat up groaning, before he looked up and saw the statue falling towards him.
"Uh-oh!" he gasped, with all three heads.
The statue landed right on him, squashing him flat.
"OH!" they moaned.
The crowd around all clapped and cheered.
"Whoo!" they whooped.
Both Turtle Titans ran towards Triple-Threat.
"Pinned!" Mikey said proudly, pointing at it. "All hail the Turtle Titan!"
He grabbed Turtle Titan II's arm and lifted it up, along with his own, before he looked at the cheering crowd.
"Uh, isn't Turtle Titan supposed to be more the disappear into the night type?" Turtle Titan II asked.
"Milk it a little more, dude. Everyone needs a hero." Mikey said.
Turtle Titan II smiled and waved at the crowd.
Later, both Turtle Titans were swinging through the night via their grappling hooks, before they landed on a rooftop, Mikey crouched down near the edge. They retracted their grappling hooks as Turtle Titan II folded his arms
"Well, one baddy bagged, which leaves two Titans to talk." Mikey said, getting up and approaching Turtle Titan II. "Only, can we skip the fighting part and just get to the yelling? I'm whipped."
"Same here. Hey, I never got a chance to thank you before." Turtle Titan II said.
"For being an inspiration to millions? No big." Mikey said.
"No, for saving my grandfather's life." Turtle Titan II said.
He removed his mask, shocking Mikey, for beneath it, he was the spitting image of Silver Sentry, only his hair was brown, not blue.
"I think you knew him. His name was…." he said.
"Silver Sentry? No way!" Mikey exclaimed.
(Flashback)
The comic book returned, which opened up, showing a young Turtle Titan II standing a backyard with Silver Sentry.
"It's true, Michelangelo. You see, I inherited my grandfather's passion for justice."
Silver Sentry flew up towards the sky and through the city.
"His looks, too."
In the yard, the boy was with a bunch of weights, struggling to lift a small one up with both hands.
"But, unfortunately, not his powers."
Later, now older, the boy was in a study room, drawing up his version of the Turtle Titan gear.
"Still, I was so inspired by his stories of the Turtle Titan fighting crime without any super powers..."
He stood in his finished costume.
"...that I wanted to carry on your legacy."
He stood outside a bank, as a robber came out of it with money bags, before he punched the robber's face.
(Flashback ends)
"But there's only one Turtle Titan." Turtle Titan II said.
He held up his mask in front of Mikey, who looked nervous as he dropped it into his hands. He looked at the mask, then took Turtle Titan II's hand and gave it back.
"Not anymore." he said. "You're the real deal, and you've done me, and your grandfather both proud."
"Thank you. How about one quick patrol before we call it a night?" he suggested.
"No, thanks. This mild-mannered turtle has had enough superheroing to last another hundred years." Mikey said.
He shot his grappling hook away, then began to swing off.
"Keep up the good work – citizen!" he called.
Turtle Titan flinched with shock, but then grinned.
"Citizen?" he said
He shot his grappling hook out and began to swing after Mikey, who turned back to him, seeing his successor in a new light, just like his sisters had told him.
