Thank you.

Also, my sincere apologies if the editing looks extremely weird from this chapter onward. I no longer have Microsoft Word/Outlook/Office on my personal laptop, at least I don't at this current time. I re-uploaded chapters 1-63 which were already saved on Microsoft Word on my personal laptop, but chapters 64 and onward are being copied and pasted from my A03 account where I also typed and saved the chapters on that website. Meaning, I literally only have chapters 64 and onward typed and saved either on this website or A03 so the editing may come out a bit "wonky" so thank you if you continue to read regardless of the odd editing.

p*Wednesday May 25th, 2016 about 8:00 p.m. Currently at the Chem-Performance Building*/p

pThe turtles weren't expecting what they saw. They had only been in the building for 20 minutes, and they were actually a bit distracted since April had secretly been tailing them (she'd gotten really good at that since it took them so long to realize she was behind them) when they sensed a presence on the floor above them./p

pThey crept upstairs as slowly as they could, each with their weapons out and ready to fight. They were expecting Karai and Tatsu, but instead what they saw was a blue /

"What the heck?" Raph /

"This is very unexpected" Donnie /

Each of the 5 froze when Karai then stepped through the portal. A shiver ran down each of their spines when they saw the wicked grin that Karai had displayed.

p "It was clever what you guys tried to pull on us. You thought that if she was out of the fight then she wouldn't get hurt. Ahh that was a nice try! But not clever enough."

She nodded her head for them to follow, but of course the group stayed planted where they were.

Karai huffed and turned around. "Okay, your choices are to either follow me, or everyone on the other side dies. Which do you prefer?" she /

"Why should we trust you?" Donnie called /

Karai held her hands up high for a temporary truce.

"Come on over and see for yourself."br /

The turtles inched closer to see what Karai was talking about (for all they knew, she could be lying through her teeth about anyone being in danger).

pThat's when they saw it. Each of Sam's alternate siblings was shown on the other side of the portal. Some had guns held to their heads, some were facing knives, some where shrieking as a whip was cracked next to their heads or right at their feet, and then there was Jay who had this huge gray rock man standing over him as if he was threatning to crush him. Sam was the only one they couldn't see, but regardless, they couldn't leave these people to suffer./p

p"How do we know this is real? What if this is all an illusion?" Mikey called /

"Because I can do this" Karai said as she took a few steps back and walked through the portal, now joining in the taunting as she pulled Sam over. She was holding Sam by the collar, but the girl refused to look anywhere but up. She was fighting her hardest to maintain her poker face so that she didn't alarm the turtles as well as not play into Kraang's games./p

pThe turtles gulped and all looked at one /

"Make sure April is in the middle of us. Everyone face a different direction once we enter. Be prepared for anything" Leo /

Carefully, one step at a time, the turtles and April inched forward until they had entered the /

Shrieks of fear grew increasingly louder once they had officially left the Chem-Performance building and were now officially on the Technodrome. /p

pEach of them looked around as they observed the faces they had seen numerous pictures of, but now the faces were much older. It hurt to see these people they would have loved to have met now panicking and losing their shit. If they felt this awful seeing and hearing what they did, then Sam and Jay must have been dying inside having to experience all this a second time around. And yet, when the group got a good look at the man and girl, both remained silent and kept their facial features still. Sam and Jay had been so broken at this point that they refused to play Kraang's game. Everyone around them may be shrieking in fear, but they would not crack. They mentally vowed to remain as calm as possible and not let Kraang enjoy their pain and suffering.

pAt this time, each turtle was facing a group of the /

Raph was in the back facing Jamie, Brian, Nick, and Amber who were currently being held at gun point by General /

Mikey was facing the right side of the room where Jay was about to be crushed by /

Donnie was facing the left side of the room where Chuck and Haley were sitting back to back with Karai swinging her kunai knife around like a /

Leo was in the front facing Brenda, Kris, J2, and S2 as they were handcuffed and sitting along the wall where Tatsu was tormenting them, cracking the whip as close to their bodies as /

April continued to scan the room and analyze as much as she possibly /

p"AHHHHHHH MY TURTLE FRIENDS!" Kraang roared. "I've been waiting for you to join in our festivities!"br /

The turtles glared (Raph more so scowled over his shoulder since he was still facing backwards) but remained silent as their enemy came waltzing /

"Oh it's so boring when you're all so silent. Samantha has been the same way, it's like she doesn't want to play anymore. I took her powers away, but I didn't think it would change her thatttttt muchhhhhhh" he cackled with /

"What do you want?" Sam said dully, just loud enough for Kraang and anyone else nearby to hear. She was currently laying on her back, a bit closer to where Jay was since this is where she had been dropped. She just wanted to know what Kraang was thinking so that she could try to come up with a /

"SHE SPEAKS! I thought you had forgotten how to talk, since you haven't spurted out a stupid sarcastic comment every 5 seconds like you usually do."br /

"When can I finally continue onward?" Tatsu hollered from across the /

Kraang's expression changed immediatedly as he turned around to face the male /

"Excuse me?" he huffed /

"You play with your prey to much. When will you let us bite?"br /

"This...is MY REVENGE! This is all part of my grand scheme and you know that! You will not get your master back until I AM READY AND UNTIL I GET WHAT I WANT!"br /

At this point, Kraang was basically in Tatsu's face, slime was painfully close to getting on Tatsu's face. He was fighting his hardest to remain calm since the goal was to aid Kraang so that they could get Shredder back, but their master never toyed with his 'food' the way this alien /

p What Kraang was not expecting was for Donnie to be analyzing everything in the room within the mere minutes he had entered the Technodrome. Donnie had already realized that this space had recieved some huge upgrades compared to the last time they had fought, including the purple that was etched into the walls. He tried his hardest to remember everything he had read from the NYFS (New York Foot Survivors) records after getting permission from Vincent to look through them. The files included a TON of information from ALL the mutagen that had been tested over the years, and man there was a lot of different mutagen that had been tested. Professor Jordon Perry made copies of everything before giving these files to the NYFS and the NYPD, and Donnie was extremely grateful for that now since from what he could recall, this purple mutagen was more of a mist that somehow had elements that could become a power source (it was even used in some of the electric weapons Shredder was trying to have built to take over the city a couple years back). If his research was correct, then striking a tube of this stuff would cause some slight chaos. Nothing crazy, but it would catch everyone off guard with a small explosion or something. He had to find a spot that wouldn't cause harm to anyone in case he was wrong and much worse would happen.

pWithout hesitation, Donnie reached into his pockets and grabbed about 4 shuriken stars. He lunged forward, unfortunately breaking himself away from their 4 man cell around April, as he did a quick spin and launched the first two, and then the next two with another spin towards a corner of the room away from everyone else.

p "HA! YOU MISSED YOU FOOL!" Kraang shouted, assuming that the stars were meant to hit him since he was close to the direction Donnie had thrown them, but it wasn't until the last sound left his lips that he realized the stars had punctured the wall. Normally more would need to be done to cause anything to happen, but this was Donnie, so these weren't normal shuriken stars, of course they could detonate. The stars went off after a split second of hitting the purple lining of the wall, which lead to purple mist quickly escaping through the cracks.

p "RUN!" Sam shrieked the second that the shuriken stars pierced the purple lining. She had maintained her poker face, and in remaining calm, was analyzing every detail of the room that she possibly could. Everyone is the room was caught off guard by Donnie's sudden actions. Everyone was so focused on Kraang walking over towards Tatsu that everyone had forgotten to focus on the villian or innocent victime nearby. The turtles were always on high alert and the second that the mist had been released from the tube on the wall, all 4 of them lunged towards the nearest bad guy and group of Sam's siblings that was closest to them.

pRaph immediatedly took off and leaped onto the back of General Traag. He knew it would be difficult to punch or fight a being made of literal rock, so he tried to do everything he could to at least distract him so that the other 4 could escape. He was able to hook and lock his arms around the low and round rock man's arms so that he couldn't shoot the weapon in his /

"Arghhh let go!" Traag /

"Run!" Raph shouted to the siblings, completley ignoring Traag, which just made the general even more irritatted and think irrationally as he violently thrashed his body /

Jamie, Brian, Nick, and Amber had no idea what to think at this point as they watched this...turtle man...fight a rock man...This was officially the craziest night of their lives and each considered if they somehow had gotten high, but the lazer from Traag's gun hitting a spot close to Brian's foot quickly awoke them from this thought. They had no idea where the heck they were running to, but they listened to the red bearing turtle and ran in the only direction that had a hallway leading away from this insane battle.

p Mikey basically did the same thing as his older brother and immeditaedly lunged for the giant rock man closest to him. His advantage in this situation was that Granitor was taller and thinner than his other rockified ally, so Mikey had enough muscle to literally run up to this rock creature and body slam him to the floor. He would have immediately run over towards Sam and helped her off the ground...if she hadn't already rolled over and leaped up and was now running in the opposite direction. His heart was telling him to follow her and analyze what she was doing and why she was running towards the insanity happening behind him (did she forget that she no longer had her powers?) but his brain said to protect Jay before rock man had another chance to crush him. He quickly pulled Jay up so that he had somewhat of a fighting chance to defend /

"Come and get me twig!" Jay mocked while also running back towards the insanity, but not before giving a quick nod to Mikey, signaling to follow close behind so that he could attack while Granitor was distracted and focused on Jay instead.

pMeanwhile, Leo had darted forward. He was unsure of what Kraang was doing since he was looking all over the place like a cat trying to follow a light that was dancing across a wall. Kraang had clearly been caught off guard and was expecting more time to "play" before doing any damage. Leo's first instinct was to take the biggest enemy down, but then he saw Tatsu scowl and raise his arm to begin his own tortue on the victims in front of him. Leo wasn't sure what would happen to him since two tough oponnents were in front of him but he decided to aim for the one with a weapon aimed and ready to use. Leo left one of his swords in the holster on his back and instead quickly whipped out a kunai knife which he launched towards where the whip would come down. As he had hoped, it pinned the whip to the wall seconds before it was about to hit Brenda. The woman was so startled that she screamed her lungs out before she could process what had /

"Why you-" Tatsu grunted, but Leo had already run up and was slashing his /

"Get out of here!" Leo bellowed. Luckily Brenda, Kris, J2, and S2 had handcuffs on, but were not handcuffed to the wall itself. It was a bit tricky for the four to get to their feet becuase they were handcuffed behind their backs, but with Tatsu distracted, they were able to run towards the hallway aka the only exit that was luckily away from all the battles.

pDonnie charged towards Karai who was also charging towards him. She whipped out a tanto blade which made fighting with a bo staff a little more challenging since tanto were meant more for stabbing rather than slashing like a katana. But this was where Donnie being the swiftest of his brothers came in clutch. He stayed more on the defnesive side because if Karai was more focused on attacking him, then she wasn't focused on attacking Chuck and Haley who were behind her.

pAnd of course, then there was Sam. She could have just run away towards the hallway, but that was too easy. Sam quickly scanned the room from the second she had got herself up off the floor. She had a hunch that Traag and Granitor were more brute force kinda guys from the little she had seen of them and had a feeling that Mikey and Raph had them covered. Tatsu and Karai each had a turtle keeping them on their toes which meant there was only one other bad guy who was left alone, and that was Kraang. Sam knew there wasn't a whole lot she could do without her powers and she knew she could not engage in a one on one fight but at the same time she couldn't leave this being on his own for too long. When Sam had been keeping her poker face and was lying on the ground, she analyzed any and everything that she possibly could before Donnie had begun his attack. Whilst analyzing the room she noticed that April had her tessen ready to go while standing in the center of the turtles 4 man barricade. She was still a bit confused as to why April was here since she thought April was never supposed to leave the lair and was helping A2 lead the group into the building.

pSam assumed April was as stubborn as she was and wasn't going to let her family enter a fight without her. As Sam dashed forwards, she quickly glanced at April and simply mouthed the words "tessen" and nodded as she continued to rush forward. She was grateful that April must have understood that she was needed as she took off and began to run after Sam as quick as she could. Sam knew this was going to hurt because of the handcuffs behind her, but if this worked, it would totally be worth it.

p"DOWN HERE!" Sam shrieked as she ran up to the still distracted /

"Huh?" he questioned aloud. His eyes were wider than ever as he watched Sam 'magically' appear in front of him. Sam quickly slid under Kraang (slide tackles from soccer helped make this happen) and with enough momentum made it so that she was now behind him. He was about to turn around and attack but then heard someone else scream his name in front of him. He turned back around just in time for a sharp metal tessen to slash him in the /

"AHHHHHHH MY EYE! MY EYE!" Kraang shrieked.

pApril was a bit taken aback. She assumed this was Sam's plan, but it was still a bit difficult for her to believe that she had just cut someone's eye. The amount of blood she saw also caught her off /

"Dude run!" Sam shouted, bringing April back to her /

"April, help my siblings, I'll help the guys" Sam commanded. April nodded and dashed around, helping Sam's siblings get to the hallway as quickly as possible.

pSam ran along the back of the room so that she was away from a panicking Kraang while also observing everything happening around her. Donnie and Karai were the closest fight to her. She watched closesly and noticed that Karai kept trying to reach for something in her /

'That dishonorable bitch' Sam thought, assuming that Karai was trying to reach the turnstone in her pocket as a means to get an advantage over her opponent. Sam waited a few more seconds, constantly looking over her shoulder to make sure no one was sneaking up on her, until Karai had successfully reached into her pocket and taken out a clear orb like object.

pThat's when Sam decided it was her turn to step in. As soon as the orb was removed from Karai's pocket, Sam sprinted over and kicked the woman in her shin. Karai was so focused on blocking Donnie's attacks with one hand and holding the orb in the other that she couldn't do much to block Sam from just kicking the shit out of her. Karai let out a small grunt and as she started to collapse to her side, Donnie swung his bo upwards and knocking her right under her /

"HA! Take that bitch!" Sam screamed with a wicked grin. She was thrilled to finally fight back after all this woman had done to her /

"And I'll take that too!" Donnie said as he quickly snatched what he assumed to be the laser dimension blade that was clipped to his enemy's waistband.

pSam followed the orb like a lost puppy, making sure that it didn't leave her sight. She saw Tatsu knock Leo to the side and lunge for it, but Sam kicked the orb away and dodged to the side. While Tatsu was vulnerable, she kicked him in the side and then stepped on each of his hands. She was stunned when she then saw Jay run up and kick Tatsu in the face, temporarily knocking the man out /

"I've ALWAYS wanted to do that!" he shouted with /

"The turnstone!" Sam called /

"Got it!" April called out, luckily the closest person to the orbs path after Sam had kicked it to nowhere. "Now let's go!"

The three turned around and dashed towards the hallway while they could. What they missed in that split second was Donnie rock his first attemplt at ever using the laser dimension blade and open a random portal to who knows where on the wall right before Mikey swiped at the legs of Granitor who then tripped backwards and fell into the portal. Donnie then ran over towards Raph's fight with Traag. This time Donnie opened a portal on the floor so that Raph could use all his might to shove his opponent forward and accidentally trip over Leo who had crouched down behind him (he was able to do this since Sam was beating the shit out of Tatsu). Since each bad guy was either temporarily unconscious, seriously wounded in the face, or literally gone, the brothers dashed to check on the human siblinbgs and make sure they had gotten away safely. Being the last three in the main battle area, Jay, April, and Sam were now sprinting as fast as they could to catch up with everyone else, wherever they had gone down the hallway.

p"GET UP! HELP ME!" Sam heard Kraang shriek. She turned back for a quick second to see what was happening as the three were rounding the curve of the hallway that started as a sloped downward spiral (eventually further down this path would lead to additional hallways). Sam turned back around and then skidded to a stop...where did the others go?br /

Sam froze. "Jay? April?" she whispered, but sensed no movement around her. She turned around to run backwards thinking that maybe they had found a secret entrance or something and she had run past them, but after taking a few steps forward she was yanked into an opening that definitely had not been there before.

pSam thrashed her body around as much as she could while still being /

"Dude chill out! You think you'd be happy to be saved" was said from a rough and scowling /

Sam whipped herself around and was relieved to see that Raph had been the one to snatch her from the hallway. She practically threw herself forward and accidentally slammed her body into /

"Uhhhh?"br /

"You try hugging someone while in handcuffs" she laughed through heavy breaths since this was the first chance she had to actually catch her /

Raph chuckled as he hugged the girl back. "Good to see you too kid."

p"Thank god!" Mikey said as he ran over to his best friend. Raph released Sam, knowing that his brother needed his turn for a hug. Mikey tighlty embraced the girl as Sam 'hugged' him /

"Shhhhh! Lower your voice Mikey" Leo hushed from across the /

"Eh-heh, my bad" he /

Sam curiously looked around the room. "Where exactly are we?"br /

"In the first room that had an open door" Nick chimed /

Sam looked over and was grateful to see that all her alternate loved ones were in the /

"Is everyone okay?" she asked /

"Just some minor cuts and bruises from what I've seen" Donnie added.

p "Okay, so I'm assuming you're nice aliens, or mutants, or whatever since you just saved us and didn't wanna eat us. But who the heck are you guys?" Kris /

"Why does everyone think we want to eat them?" Raph /

"You mean you missed the part where the big brained guy mentioned being from an alternate dimension?" Sam teased while simultaneoulsy nudging /

"That was true? You're from a different planet?" Haley /

"Dimension. Di-men-sion. Not the same as a different planet" Sam said, clapping out the syllables in the /

"How is that possible, and does that mean there's turtle aliens here in our New York?" Jamie /

"Okay!" Sam said as she clapped her hands together. "How about story time after we get everyone home safe." She then whipped around towards where Donnie was standing. "Donatello! Tell us how to do that!"br /

"First, we're mutants, not aliens. Second, we can get home once I learn how to use this thing." He had been helping everyone out of their handcuffs as quickly as he could and other than Sam, Chuck was currently the last person still wearing /

"Thanks man" Chuck said, to which Donnie responded with a friendly smile and a nod in return. He then walked over towards Sam and used his tech to pick the lock so that her hands were free. He then pulled out the laser dimension blade and displayed it to the group.

p "Wait, but I saw you use it to send those rock dudes to no man's land" Amber /

"That's true, but emphasis on no man's land. I have no idea where I sent them. I don't know how to use this."br /

"I do!" Sam called out, raising her hand with a smile. "Remember, I told you that when I was captured that Kraang revealed that you have to have a specific destination in mind or else you get sent somewhere random."br /

"Huh, well this is the first time that me not knowing something was actually better than me knowing the facts" Donnie chuckled.

p "WHERE DID YOU ALL GO?!" Kraang's voice boomed down the /

Leo instantly went in leader mode and began giving /

"We gotta move. Sam, use the laser dimension blade and try to get everyone home. The 4 of us will distract Kraang and lead him further down the hallway. In a little bit, try to find us so that we can return with you back through the smaller portal. But for now, you gotta get your siblings out of here before it's too late."br /

Jay jumped into the coversation. "Give me a weapon and I can go with you. If Karai and Tatsu join the fight then I can help hold them off while you take care of the big guy."br /

"Ditto" April chimed in. "Oh, someone else should take this" she said as she removed the turnstone from her /

"Can I have that too?" Sam asked /

"Why both?" Donnie /

"Just as a precaution in case Kraang finds us and doesn't follow you guys as bait. That way I have something I can use to distract him and protect myself and the a.u. fam."br /

"Sounds fair to me" Leo said. He was willing to side with anything that continued to keep Sam as far from the fight as possible.

p"He's coming!" Mikey exclaimed. He had been peeking through a small crack in the door as best as he could and he could see Kraang, Karai, and Tatsu making their way down the /

"Let's go!" Leo called to his brothers, April, and Jay. "Sam, please stay safe."br /

"I will" she said with /

The group nodded to her and the others one final time before rushing out the door and down the hallway.

Sam held her fingers up to her lips to motion to the others to be /

"If anyone enters the room, throw anything you can touch" she whispered, more so mouthed to the group since you could barely hear a thing she said. While she had the turnstone, she wasn't sure how long it would take her to get it to work on the first try, so the group needed to be ready just in case someone broke into the /

Everyone was ready to throw if needed but they all stayed as silent as they could. They each were trembling in fear as they heard the huge footsteps from Kraang's /

"They came out of there. Check the room! There was a larger group of them and I only saw the turtles and 2 humans leave that room."br /

'Oh come on' Sam thought to /

The door knob turned slowly...and then the door swung /

"THROW!" Sam screamed bloody /

There were a lot of random things lined along the shelves. Glass bottles, syringes, petri dishes, goggles, pretty much any small science tool you could think of was scattered somehwere in this room. What Sam wasn't expecting was what was inside some of the glass bottles. Tatsu had, unfortunately, done a good job at dodging all the objects that were thrown at him, but he wasn't expecting the reaction from a liquid in a glass bottle that had shattered by his feet.

"AHHHH!" he shouted, not from pain, but from what began to happen. The liquid in the bottle had grazed his leg and more so puddled around his feet. He thought maybe it was just water at first since he didn't notice anything and honestly hadn't felt a thing...but then he started to feel warmer...like really warm, as if he was wrapped in a huge fur coat...fur...he was furry!br /

Tatsu noticed the orange and black fur growing on his arm. He took a few steps back in shock only to step on something that sent a huge discomfort up his backside. As he fell backwards he looked down and realized that he had stepped on and tripped from his tail. HIS TAIL?!

p "WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!" he cried out in /

"Mutagen?!" Karai called out. She was terrified as she watched her lover now morph into a giant mutant /

"Looks like we got you too!" Sam /

"What are you-" Karai's words came to a hault as she looked down at her arm in terror. Where her hand used to be was now the head of a snake. "What the hell!? When did you even hit me with mutagen?!" she cried /

"My love, your legs!" Tatsu cried /

Karai looked down and felt a pit grow in her stomach as she noticed that her feet were now gone and instead were now a giant silver and purple blob. She tried to take a step to her left and instead slithered to her /

"Shall we kill them with our new mutant bodies?" Tatsu growled, /

"No" Karai muttered as she glared as Sam with disdain. "I'm TIRED of dealing with this group! We've spent so much time chasing after Sam just for Kraang's sake. Let's move on to our real objective while he's distracted. We can deal with these fools once our target has been acquired."br /

The two scowled as they then left the room, slamming the door behind them.

"Phew! Thank goodness that ended rather quickly" J2 sighed out /

"You learned how to use that fast" Chuck said as he pat her au sister on the /

"Dang you're observant. I was trying to hide it as best I could" Sam said with a /

While Tatsu had actually mutated into a giant man-tiger, Karai had not actually turned into a snake. When everyone was chucking things at Tatsu, Sam slipped her hand into her pocket and tried her hardest to use the turnstone on Karai to throw her enemies /

"Wait, didn't you say before that the turnstone only works if you think of something that already exists?" S2 /

"The what-what?" Nick /

"The turnstone. It can make anything appear in front of you, like this" Sam replied. She removed the clear orb from her pocket and held it up for all of the group to see. She then imagined that the members of BTS were standing around /

"Oh I like this" Haley teased her boyfriend, getting an eye roll from Brian in /

"Soooooo you've seen a snake alien-mutant-thingy like that before?" Jamie /

"I've seen it in a video game, not in real life. I wasn't sure if it would work, but it was worth a try! I was also pleased to see that it can affect how a person sees them self since Karai actually thought she had mutated as well even though the mutagen was nowhere near her, it only hit Tatsu. But now that they're gone we need to focus on getting you all home. That requires this bad boy."

pSam then pulled out the laser dimension blade and aimed it at a wall where no one was standing. She closed her eyes and imagined the underground /

She then waved the blade in a circle and within a few seconds a portal that was about her height and as wide as a doorway opened up. She opened her eyes and was thrilled to see that through the portal on the other side was the lair where the group had been /

"Wait, why are you sending us there?" Kris /

"Becuase I can only send you someplace I have been to myself and know exists, and the apartment currently has a giant hole in wall" she said with an awkard /

"Ahhh that's right" J2 sighed in annoyance. "But hey, at least everyone is safe. Alright, women go through first-"br /

"Ummmmm can you lead the way through the mystic portal thing that we've never used before?" Brenda asked genuinely, afraid to be the first to do anything on this weird ass /

J2 chuckled and offered his hand out to her. The two lead the way through the portal, then Jamie, Amber, and Haley walked through with Brian, Nick, Chuck, and Kris following right /

"Close the portal" S2 /

Sam gave her a weird look, but then shrugged, knowing that she would get an explanation one way or /

"What are you two doing?" J2 /

"Sorry not sorry?" Both Sams said with a shrug while displaying akward facial expressions before Sam turned the portal off and stopped using the portal dimension /

"SAM NO!" were the last words heard before the portal closed, leaving S2 and Sam alone in the room./p

p"Okay I need a good enough reason why that just happened. If I don't like the answer then I'm opening it back up and kicking your ass through" Sam said sternly, making it clear that she wasn't playing and that she meant serious buisness.

pS2 took a deep breath before venting to her /

"Okay, I know I haven't experienced all the traumatizing things you have, but I'm part of this journey now too. I can't just walk away and wonder what will happen next to you guys. There must be something I can do, like-oh! Like I could hold the turnstone and do something that distracts Kraag while you use the blade thing!"

p Sam couldn't help but chuckle. "Okay one, it's called the laser dimension blade and his name is Kraang. Two, I'll let you stay because it seems your inner badass is showing. Looks like we're more alike then I thought" she said, giving her alternate a playful /

"But you have to listen to my orders. I have no right saying this since my powers are gone, but I still have basic combat and self-defense skills. You have to listen to me so that we are helpful to the turtles and not burdens. Got it?"

p S2 nodded back and held up the "fighting" symbol like her k-pop idols.

p "Not a burden..." Sam muttered to herself as she then looked around the /

"I heard you. I'll do whatever you say" S2 said back with a confident /

"Good...start looking for files" Sam /

"Wait, what?"br /

"Files, documents, papers, hell find me a napkin with writing on it" Sam /

"Got-got it" S2 stuttered, now with a more confused expression plastered on her face. She was on board and ready to follow the instructions of her alternate, only to be left confused mere seconds later.

p It took the duo about 5 minutes to find a stack of files hidden in a cabinet that was low to the ground. Sam opened up the files and sighed in relief when they were written in /

"What's going on?" S2 asked with /

"These files are in English! That means these are files from the Foot!"br /

"...soooooo?"br /

Sam displayed a wicked grin back to her alternate. "This means that I can use these notes to get my powers back."

p S2 was a bit taken aback. This just didn't seem like a good idea. "Are you sure you should do that? That sounds dangerous? Can the mutagen hurt you?"br /

"Only if I use the wrong ones" Sam stated calmly as she igored her alternates worries and already began scurrying around the room. She picked up a few viles of colorful liquids and eyed them carefully, making sure to analyze the notes in front of her and make sure the mutagens matched the /

"Alright! I think I've got it!" Sam /

"Got what?" S2 practically whimpered, worried about what Sam was doing but also knowing there was nothing she could really do to stop /

"I believe I have all the mutagens that I used to create the combination that gave me my powers. If I combine these properly then I should be able to get my powers back."

p As Sam began gathering tools that had been knocked onto the floor when fighting Karai and Tatsu, S2 began to beg her alternate to stop her /

"Sam are you completely sure that all of these are the correct mutagens needed for your powers to come back?"br /

Sam stopped and blinked at her alternate "...noooo..."br /

"WHAT?!"br /

"I mean, I'm like 90% sure these are correct. There's a couple that I'm not quite sure if they match the notes or not-"br /

That fast S2 tried to swipe at the bottle in Sam's hand, which led to Sam's natural reaction of spinning S2 around and then pinning her to the wall. Sam quickly realized what she had done and backed away, looking down at the ground in /

S2 spun around so quickly that she was dizzy as she began laying into her /

"Have you gone made? The hell is wrong with you?!" she /

"I NEED MY POWERS!" Sam bellowed, pointing towards herself while marching towards her alternate.

p They both just stared at each other for a few seconds, needing a moment to catch their breaths and relax before either one said or did something they would /

"Look..." Sam began, "you don't get it because you haven't lived the life I have. I need to protect my friends, to protect my brothers. I know I need to stop being reckless...but I can't just let them continue to fight out there. I need to help keep them safe. I could watch from a distance and wait to jump in when needed with my powers. Without them...I can't do anything. The minute I lost my powers my 'job' was to hang out with my siblings and leave the battle to the guys. I couldn't even do that! I could at first because I wanted to be with my siblings, but then I just kept worrying about the guys. They've saved me so many times, they're my new family. I can't just sit back and hope that they'll be okay. I need to be out there!-"br /

"Okay" S2 /

Sam didn't realize how frantic she had become, pacing around and spurting her words out so quickly that she now had to catch her breath once again. Hearing S2 speak so calmly made her realize how loud she had been.

"They tried to send me off to college. They want me to live a normal life..." Sam stated more calmly, but still clearly upset as tears began to form in the corners of her /

"But I can't. My life stopped being normal once the Foot started killing off my family. Fighting with them, helping them, that's home now. They're home now. I...I have to do something."

pSam then turned around and quickly finished preparing the mutagens she had gathered throughout the /

"I have to do something. Even if that means putting my body at risk one last time. I won't do this forever, but I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe right now."br /

Sam then turned around, held up the glass with her mutagen concoction as if signaling to 'cheers,' and then threw it back like a shot.

p Within a few seconds, Sam felt a large discomfort throughout her body. She faintly remembered a similiar sensation when the mutagen entered her body when Mikey announced the code word 'cowabunga' and the mutagen ran through her veins. However, this was slightly different. A gust of wind came from her body just as before, and she could sense the colors change in her eyes just like they had that first night. But man, her back ached so much. This was new, her back didn't hurt the first time the way it did now. And her hands and feet, the feeling went from 'weird and tingly' to actual momentary pain. Sam fought her hardest not to scream out in pain. She didn't know where Kraang was or if he had gathered any additional enemies to help him fight and didn't want to draw too much attention to the room that she was in, but the pain was growing as it gradually spread throughout her entire body. She clenched her firsts and squeezed her eyes shut to help her get through the pain, meaning she couldn't see anything that was happening as she mutagen began to change her body a second time.

p FINALLY the transition ended. Sam was panting like crazy, the pain lingering, but slowly fading /

"OH MY GOD" S2 said as she took a few steps back in /

'Shit, that's bad' Sam thought to /

"Hey what's wrong-" Same said as she reached out her hand to comfort her friend...but this wasn't her hand...but it moved when she was telling her hand to move. This hand looked like the turtle's. It was green and only had 3 fingers, just like their hands. But why was it moving when she was wanted her arm to move?br /

She looked up at her alternate who was now holding her phone in front of her, handing it to Sam so she could use the camera feature. Sam took the phone and was now speechless as she stared at what had to be her. Her reflection no longer displayed a human Sam, but now a teenage mutant ninja turtle Samantha Allan Park./p
