As Splinter was meditating in his room, he had a strange vision. Sitting across from him was his former master, Hamato Yoshi. He had warned Splinter that the Shredder had found a way off of Earth and that their friends, the Utroms were in terrible danger. Splinter gasped as he woke up snapping out of his trance. Later that day, the master told everyone about his foreboding vision of warning. They all decided that it was the time to strike to take down the Shredder once and for all. D with some persuasion, Donnie and Venus, considering she wasn't fit to fight because of her shoulder injury, agreed to stay and watch over Elizabeth.
Everyone started to prepare for the upcoming battle until night had fallen in the sky. Alopex noticed that Mikey was acting a little more nervous than his normal self. As everyone slept, Alopex felt the bed shift beside her. She slowly turned around to see Mikey getting up.
"Where are you going?" She asked him. Mikey made a startled yelp, now that he was caught.
"Uh, I'm just going to check on a few things to see that were fully prepared!" He quickly told her. Alopex frowned and sat up.
"We are prepared. What YOU need to do now is rest for tomorrow night." She told him. "This is going to be big battle and we need everyone at their best and full strength. Everything's going to be fine-"
"How do you know that?" Mikey asked her, immediately, almost shouting. He flinched as he listened in on the others to make sure they had woken up. He sighed in relief, Raph loud snoring from across the Lair in his room. He looked back to Alopex, whispering to her. "How can you be so sure that nothing is going to happen? This is the Shredder that we're talking about! Mr. Big bad ninja overlord!" Alopex made a small laugh.
"Stop laughing. Alopex, I'm serious. I don't want to lose you or anyone." He tried to tell her. Suddenly, Mikey was caught off guard when Alopex grabbed him and pulled the turtle back into his bed. He gulped nervously as she was now sitting on top of him. He got lost in her moon colored eyes stared back into his.
"If this is to be our last night together, then let's make it last." She told him.
"U-Uh, and what do you mean by that?" Mikey answered sheepishly. For some reason, Mikey couldn't feel his mask on his face, now realizing that Alopex had pulled it down, so it was now resting around his neck. She leaned in and kissed Mikey gently on his lips and whispered a few words to him that he will remember for the rest of his life.
"Make me yours."
"Excuse me, may I have your attention please? It is with a heavy heart that I stand here today to say goodbye to one of the greatest men that I've ever known: Oroku Saki, the man who single handedly responsible for restoring the great city of New York to it's full glory is leaving us. I would like you to put your hands together and show this fine man how much we are truly going to miss him." The crowd clapped for him and he stands up.
"Too kind. Thank you." he shakes the Mayor's hand. "As my good friend the mayor has just reminded us, this is a farewell dinner, my way of saying thank you and goodbye. Fortune has smiled on me in many ways. The opportunity to rectify certain matters at home has now presented itself and I must go. In my absence, my lovely daughter Karai will handle all of my business affairs. I assure you, she is more than capable." Karai stood up, she was wearing a black dress with a red collar and black gloves.
"The city has been good to me. It is...my adopted home. I hope someday to return. Please, enjoy your dinner and let us make this an truly unforgettable evening."
Saki's guests clapped again and he turned to the Mayor. "My daughter and I must attend to the details of my departure," the two of them walking up the stairs, heading inside the mansion.
"Please, keep the guests entertained."
April was standing outside to the gates of the Saki estate, wearing a long red dress, with Michael and Sarah, Yuuki's parents, who were dressed up as well. The guard was standing in front of them while April was digging around in her purse.
"We have our tickets here somewhere," She said. Then Casey wheeled up to the group, with a cart wearing a white waiter uniform.
"I need to see some identification." The security guard inquired to her again.
"Come on, man, the vishie sushi's are gonna get cold!" Casey insisted.
"I need to see some identification, now!" The guard dismissed.
"Why are you busting my balloons here?" Casey said as he pushed the cart to the guard. "These dishes gotta get in there! Do me a favor, just check that cart and take it in there yourself, will ya?" The security guard bent down and lifted up the tablecloth revealing Mikey and Raph hiding underneath of it. Mikey smiled and waved.
"Hi there, nice party." He smirked. Mikey quickly kicked the guard in the face, knocking him out. The two pulled the guard under the cart with them. "Oh, yeah, like it wasn't crowded enough under here already." Mikey complained.
"Quiet." Raph slapped him.
"Ow!"
"You guys done or what?" Casey asked. Raph gave him a thumbs up.
"Casey, April, Raph and Mikey are in." Leo said as he looked through the binoculars, seeing April and Casey heading inside of the estate, pushing the cart with Mikey and Raph inside of it. Splinter was standing beside him, along with Yuuki, Mona and Alopex.
"Leonardo, perhaps we should rethink this," Splinter replied. "It is very dangerous. I feel perhaps I should have-"
"Please, Master Splinter," Leo told him. "We've been over this."
"Which does not alter the fact that I've dragged you all into this very dangerous situation, all because of a vision I cannot explain." Splinter said, unsure.
"I'll put my faith in one of your visions any day, sensei," Leo said. "If the Shredder's up to something, we'll get to the bottom of it and we'll stop him. It's what you trained us to do." He pulled out
"Shredder's security is still hot," Leo said. There were lasers scattered throughout the estate as well as security guards. "Team three, what's your status?"
"We're in place," Donnie answered. He, Venus and Leatherhead were walking in the sewers to the estate. "Sewer access security is also still active. Team two, what's your status?"
"Don, ask the professor if a security camera wire will serve his purposes." April told him.
"Oh yes, that will do nicely." The Fugitoid replied. April pulled out a hacking device linking up to a wire beside the estate. The Fugitoid hacked into the systems. "Link established. Give me a minute to hack the system." The lasers were successfully turned off, unnoticed so far. "Gentlemen and lady, I am in." The Fugitoid said. "Security systems are down, and they don't even know it."
Splinter fired an arrow with a rope tied to it and shot it at the roof on the estate. Leo, Yuuki and Splinter slid down it, the other two girls as well, landing on the estate's roof. However, as the group was not alone as they didn't know that they were being watched by someone else who was about to join the party. Bishop was watching not too far from a rooftop with a couple of his soldiers behind him.
"Well, this is interesting, very interesting indeed. Check with our man on the inside. I get the distinct feeling there's something he's not telling us." He told one of his soldiers.
"Yes, sir."
In the sewers, Leatherhead tore open a door as he ripped it off from it's hinges. Donnie, Venus and him walked stepped inside as they continued further down the sewers to the estate. Donnie lit a flare, seeing that they were in a rail room of some sorts made for something very large.
"This tunnel is huge!" Donnie exclaimed.
"And recently constructed." Venus added.
"It appears to lead from the Shredder's mansion all the way to the river." The Fugitoid explained.
"At least the coast is clear." Leatherhead replied.
Suddenly, Donnie was punched as he was knocked back. "Donnie!" Venus shouted. She was also kicked from behind. Then Leatherhead was attacked next. "Oh dear!" The Fugitoid cried out.
"Foot tech!" Donnie shouted. "They're cloaked!"
The invisible ninjas were attacking Leatherhead, making the crocodile more and more angry. Then he let out a menacing growl. He reached out and managed to grab the two invisible foot ninjas and slammed them against each other, knocking them out. "Suffice it to say, I'm glad I brought you along, Leatherhead." Donnie said. He picked up the flare and the three continued ahead as they followed the tracks. "Let's move."
Further down the tracks, the three saw another door in front of them. Leatherhead busted it open, and they walked inside.
"Guys, we're under the Shredder's mansion," Donnie told everyone through their headsets. "And you know that really big thing that the Shredder's up to? I think I just found it!" It was a giant space ship.
"Shredder has a starship?" Leo questioned.
"He has finally found a way to leave this planet." Splinter said.
"And that's not a good thing?" Leo asked.
"He will bring this evil to other worlds." Splinter explained. "He will attack our friends, the Utroms. Millions will suffer at his hands.
"We'll just have to cancel his flight," Leo said. "How we doing, guys?" He asked Mikey and Raph who were scaling the ceilings through the hallways of the estate.
"This is team...uh...team...are we team three or four?" Mikey asked. Raph slapped him on his head. "Ow!"
"We're in." Raph answered. Down below the two were several foot ninjas who were patrolling the halls. "And the place is crawling with foot creeps."
"Understood," Leo replied. "Team two, commence with Operation Lockdown."
"You heard him, professor," Donnie answered as he started connecting his palm top to a control panel, letting the Fugitoid do his work. "Close sesame."
Saki and Karai were in his office as the foot leader was looking over schematics of the starship designs.
"Dr. Chaplin reports that all starship systems are nominal," Karai reported. "Congratulations...tonight will be your last night on Earth."
"After centuries of being imprisoned on this primitive backwater, I will finally return to the stars! When my Utrom enemies return here to imprison me, I will be gone. And when they least expect it, I will be at their throats!" Saki stated.
"And what of me, father?" Karai asked him.
"Karai, my time here was not a total loss," He told her. "I have forged a powerful dynasty with the Foot and I have raised a daughter to rule that dynasty until my return. You will serve me as you have always served me." He tilted her chin up with his hand. "Faithfully and without question. Now, see to our guests. This is a celebration, not a wake."
"Yes, master."
"This is completely unacceptable," Bishop was talking to someone on wrist communicator. "Why didn't you tell us Oroku Saki has a starship?" It was Stockman.
"You didn't ask." His floating head replied smugly on the screen.
"Sarcasm is no way to build a working relationship with me, Stockman." Bishop retorted.
"Relax, Agent Bishop. We have a deal," Stockman assured him. "I'll keep my end of the bargain as long as you keep yours, huh?" He saw Chaplin had walked into the room, holding the ship's designs, the sliding doors closed behind him. "Must go. Bye now." Stockman quickly told Bishop as he cut off his connection to the agent.
In the estate's communications room, Hun was looking at the layout of the manor. He noticed that the guard at the front gate was gone. "I don't like it." He said. "Where's the guard at the front gate? Send someone to check it out." And ordered an foot soldier.
"Sir, there's a glitch in the system. Something...I don't know what it is." A foot tech replied.
"Well, find out," Hun demanded. "The master can't have anything go wrong. Not tonight."
"Alright,"The Fugitoid managed to get into the launching chamber's control panel systems. "Taking complete control of the internal systems. Commencing internal lockdown...now." Every door and room inside of the estate was sealed shut and barricaded.
"What the?" Hun questioned confused. "Who ordered a lockdown?
In the sewers, Bishop and his men were following the tracks as they were heading towards the starship.
"I don't know what Saki's up to and I don't care. Rig this tunnel for demolition. I don't want to allow Saki any chance to move his ship." Bishop ordered.
In Saki's room, Saki was still going over the blueprints. He sensed Mikey and Raph behind him and turned around, facing them, surprised to see them.
"Planning a little trip?" Raph called out.
"A little outer space mayhem, perhaps?" Mikey joked.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Leo shouted. He jumped down from the ceiling along with Splinter and Yuuki.
"Your evil ends here and now, Shredder!" Splinter declared and fired an arrow at the ninja leader. Saki caught the arrow with his hand, snapping it in half.
"I shall relish destroying-" Mikey and Raph kicked Saki from behind, knocking him towards Leo, Splinter and Yuuki. Leo tried to strike at him with his swords, but Saki defended himself with his arms. Leo pushed Saki back, breaking the table. Mikey tried to swing his nunchucks at him, but Saki grabbed the ends and tossed Mikey to the side. Raph charged at Saki with his sais pinning him to the corner of the room. Splinter fired a few arrows trapping Saki's wrists to the wall with them. Then fired two more into the ninja's chest and stomach. Saki let out a scream in anguish and pain. He pried himself from the wall and pulled the arrows out of him.
Leo, Splinter, Mikey, Raph, Alopex, Mona, and Yuuki all stood in front of him.
Bishop and his men had managed to make into the launching chamber and found Saki's star ship.
"This starship. It's-It's unbelievable," Bishop murmured. "How could Saki have-" One of his soldiers ran up to him.
"Sir, tunnel wired for demolition, sir!"
"Then blow it," Bishop ordered him. "I'm not letting this ship slip through my fingers."
The soldier pressed a button on the remote setting off the demolition charges in the railway caving it in.
The shockwave was felt from above as they party was still going on. Several guests noticed it. "What was that?" The mayor questioned. He turned to Karai who was standing next to him.
"Miss Saki, are you sure everything's alright?"
"Mayor, honored guests, do not be alarmed," She reassured him and everyone. She gestured up towards the sky, fireworks exploded above them as they boomed loudly. Everyone watched in awe. "This is my father's way of saying thank you and farewell."
"Very nice."
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Chaplin cried out from inside of the spaceship as he noticed Bishop and his men in the tunnels, seeing that they had caved it in. "Those crazy commandos! They've completely collapsed the transport tunnel! I gotta tell the boss!"
"Mr. Saki, it's that Bishop guy! He and his men blew up the transport tunnel!" Chaplin told Saki was he was fighting against Leo, Raph, Mikey, Yuuki, Splinter, Mona, and Alopex. Parts of his suit was ripped, revealing his metal endo skeleton suit underneath it. "There's no way we're moving the starship to the river!"
"Bishop?" Saki said in disbelief. "Here?" Leo knocked Saki down with his sword. He growled. "That changes everything!" He quickly jumped up, surprising everyone. Saki kicked Yuuki, Splinter, Leo, Mikey, Raph, Mona and Alopex back. Leo, Mikey, Raph, Yuuki, Mona and Alopex all were sent flying into the wall. Splinter jumped, bringing his sword down on Saki. Saki quickly caught it in his hands. He kicked Splinter in the stomach sending the ninja master flying and crashing into the chair. As everyone tried to get back up, Hun busted through the room, carrying a huge hammer in his hands. There were several Foot elites as well as foot ninjas behind him as they ran into the room.
"Protect the master!" Hun shouted.
"Hun!" Saki shouted at him. "Control this situation! I need to get my ship to safety!" He quickly headed towards a giant statue of himself. Saki pressed a button on the remote he pulled out, revealing a hidden elevator and ran inside of it, taking it down to the launch chamber.
"He's making a break for it!" Alopex shouted.
"Get him!" Raph shouted.
"Chaplin, prepare the ship. We must launch immediately!" Saki said to him.
"But, Mr. Saki, we can't move the ship," Chaplin replied. "They're destroyed the transport tunnel!"
"No, you fool! Commence the emergency launch sequence!" Saki shouted.
"But...but, all those people are on the emergency silo doors." Chaplin said hesitantly.
"Do it, Chaplin! NOW!" Saki shouted. Chaplin sighed and slowly reached over towards the switch and flipped it.
"Opening emergency launch doors."
Up above at the party, a waiter was serving to a couple. "I'll be right back with that ma'am," He stopped when he noticed the ground beneath him, starting to move. "Huh?"
He screamed as well as everyone else as they tried to get away from the moving platform, some sadly fell in. Casey, April, Michael and Sarah tried to help a few people as they pulled them up from the launch platform.
"Sir, it looks like Saki's is trying an emergency launch," A soldier informed Bishop.
"What?" Bishop said in surprise. "How could-" A table fell from above almost hitting him. "Bring in Strikeforce Bravo! Shut this whole place down!" A helicopter flew in from above and several soldiers slide down the ropes, landing on the ground, while more came in on motorcycles.
"This is Bravo One. Roger that, commander. Nothing goes up, nothing gets out." The soldier told Bishop. "Bravo Two. We have control on the ground, commander." The helicopter fired a couple of missiles into the entrance of the estate. The elevator doors opened to the launch chamber and Saki stepped out of it.
"What?" He was shocked to see Leatherhead fighting against some of foot techs and scientists. Donnie and Venus jumped over him and ran over to Saki.
"We thought you might try the back door!" Donnie shouted. Saki tried to dodge around him but Donnie pinned Saki back with his staff. "That's why we're here."
Raph pried open the statue with his sais while Splinter, Mikey, Alopex and Mona fought against the foot elites. Leo and Yuuki were holding the foot ninjas back. Mikey and Raph pushed the elites back, knocking them into Hun. The four quickly followed after Saki, jumping down into the elevator, leaving Leo and Yuuki.
"Stop them!" Hun shouted. Hun chased after the group, the elites following behind him as he tore open the elevator ground with his hammer and jumped in. Leo and Yuuki were about to chase after them when Karai stopped them.
"Wait, Leonardo, you must not do this. He is finally leaving our world," She begged him. "You must let him go!"
"Are you kidding me? Do you know what he's planning to do once he leaves Earth?" Yuuki said to her.
"He's going to destroy and enslave the Utroms. And who knows possibly other worlds as well!" Leo told her as well.
"The Utroms have hunted my father all his life. They are heartless monsters!" Karai exclaimed, bitterly. Yuuki glared at her, looking like she was about to fight her. Leo held her back.
"He's lied to you, Karai," He told her. "HE'S the heartless monster and we're going to stop him!" He and Yuuki ran towards the elevator hole and jumped in.
"Leonardo, no!" Karai cried out to them.
"There's no way we're letting you get on that starship, Shredder!" Donnie shouted as he, Venus, and Leatherhead fought Saki in the launch chamber.
"The three of you cannot stop me," Saki told them. Splinter, Mikey, Raph and Mona jumped down from the elevator behind him.
"Together we will stop you!" Splinter shouted. Hun as well several elites appeared behind the group, too.
"Step away from the master, now!" Hun roared out. Suddenly, everyone stopped, confused as they heard beeping from a distance until it grew rapidly. An explosion went off and several of Bishop's soldiers ran into the room.
"Well, well, well, isn't this cozy?" Bishop replied as he walked in. "On my mark, destroy them all!"
"You gotta be kidding me." Venus replied.
"Open fire!" The soldiers fired their guns at everyone in the room and they quickly ran to take cover, trying to dodge the blasts. Leo, Yuuki and Karai had jumped down from the elevator, seeing the soldiers, and tried dodged out of the gun fire as well.
"Shredder, you cannot be allowed to return to the stars, to wreak havoc on other planets, or to revenge yourself on the Utrom homeworld!" Splinter said to Saki as he faced him.
"What?" Saki's eyes widened in shock. "How do you know of this?"
"My father Master Yoshi was a guardian," Splinter told him. "He protected the Utroms. He forbids your journey. And in his name, I will not allow you passage!" Raph jumped from behind Saki, stabbing his sais into the Utrom endo-skeleton. Sparks flew out as Mikey swung his nunchucks hitting the endo's mouth, knocking it off.
"No!" Hun shouted. He swung his club, knocking Mikey and Raph back. "Go, master, get to the ship!" As everyone was fighting against Bishop's soldiers, Leatherhead noticed Saki was getting away.
"Shredder!" Leatherhead shouted, angrily as he saw him, his eyes turned to slits. "Shredder!" He roared and charged at Saki, striking him repeatedly with his claws.
"I'm coming, master!" Hun shouted. He punched Leo back and ran over to him, pushing Leatherhead off of Saki. The crocodile crashed into a glass containment tube. Hun turned back to Saki as he helped him up. He froze in shock as he saw the endo skeleton. "Sir..." Hun gaped and stammered. "You...huh?" He ripped off the remaining of Saki's suit, revealing the red Utrom, inside. "You're an Utrom?"
Leatherhead roared and tackled Hun before he could react. The two crashed into the glass window, falling down into the depths of the launch chamber. "Oh Cruuuud!"
Saki slowly began walking towards the starship when Donnie noticed him. "Oh no, you don't!" Donnie shouted. He knocked down a liquid nitrogen canister popping the cap off with his staff. "You're not going anywhere, Shredder!" The nitrogen sprayed all over the Utrom's exoskeleton, freezing it. "A little liquid nitrogen should slow you down!"
Splinter threw a chain with a hook at the Utrom's endo suit pulling it back, taking the Utrom along with it. The suit shattered to pieces, leaving the red Utrom completely helpless. Everyone stood over the Utrom ready to deliver the final blow as they raised their weapons and fists in the air. However, Karai stopped them as they watched in surprise when she jumped over them. She quickly scooped up the Utrom and took off, heading towards the spaceship.
"Chaplin, we are leaving!" She shouted to the scientist inside as everyone chased after her.
"All systems go. Countdown already in progress. This is totally gonna be sketchy." Chaplin said as he began to start up the ship. Karai ran inside of the ship as the door closed down behind her. Raph and Mikey crashed into it. The four turtles tried to pry open the door but it was sealed shut.
"Professor, you have to open this door." Donnie urged the Fugitoid as he linked his handheld to a panel to the door.
"I'm on it, Donatello." The Fugitoid said as he started to get into the ship's systems.
"No! Saki's not getting away! I want that starship. Team Bravo, disable the ship. Don't let it take off!" Bishop shouted as he ordered the helicopter flying above ground.
"Roger that, fire in the hole." A soldier fired a few missiles at the ship. The to the ship released itself as it slid open just as the Fugitoid managed to do so.
"Way to go, professor!" Donnie smiled.
"Incoming!" Mikey cried out as he warned everyone. They saw a missile headed straight towards them and quickly dodged out of the way as it destroyed half of the bridge to the ship. Donnie was on the other side holding on to the edge of the ship as the clock started to countdown.
"Ignition!" Chaplin started the ship. It slowly began to take off as Donnie was still hanging onto it.
"Uh, guys?" Donnie called out nervously to everyone.
"We have to jump for it!" Leo shouted.
"Come on!" Raph shouted.
Everyone leaped off from the bridge as they fell towards the ship.
