Everyone jumped off from the bridge falling to the rocket ship. Leo managed to grab onto Donnie's ankles, creating a chain as everyone held on. They flipped over each other each one climbing aboard the ship until Donnie was last. The door sealed shut behind them as the spaceship took off launching to the skies at full speed. The gravity pushed everyone down as they struggled to get up. Bishop watched as the ship escaped. "This is Bishop to all tracking outposts," Bishop said through his earpiece. "Keep tracking. If I can't have that ship neither can Saki."
Casey grabbed April and the two hopped on his bike riding off narrowly escaping the rocket's exhaust flames. Michael and Sarah watched inside the police car, seeing the ship leave.
"Yuuki..." Sarah murmured, worried.
"She'll be fine, honey. She's not alone." Michael tried to calm her down but was concerned as well for their daughter's safety.
The ship slowly began to stabilize itself almost out of the Earth's atmosphere. Everyone got up as they tried to get their bearings.
"Whoa, that's better." Mikey sighed in relief able to move again. Donnie walked over to the door's control panel and pressed the button. The door in front of everyone unlocked as it slid open.
"Come on, let's go find the Shredder and pay our respects." Raph said.
"Wait, we must rethink our priorities. This vessel represents the real threat. To allow the Shredder such mobility will put millions of lives in danger." Splinter said.
"I have sent urgent messages of warnings to the Utroms, but I've received no response." The Fugitoid replied. "I'm not sure I've gotten through."
"The Shredder must not return to the stars. We must gain control of this starship." Splinter said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. It all rested them now. Countless lives were in jeopardy. They quickly headed deeper into the bowels of the ship, on high guard for what awaited them further inside. On a hidden camera in the corner, Chaplin had seen e
"Mr. Saki?" Chaplin spoke, hesitating. "First of all, let me just say that I think it's wicked cool you're actually a squishy alien blob. Man, that is so out there," He started out before giving Shredder the news. Karai placed the Utrom into a bigger version of his Shredder armor with extra arms. "And secondly, you should know that...well, apparently...Splinter...Yuuki and the turtles...have kind of hitched a ride."
"What?" Shredder said shocked to hear that they had made on the ship as well. "The turtles, Yoshi's brat and the rat on board my ship? I will deal with them personally. I will not allow them to further interfere with my plans."
"What are our plans now, my lord?" Karai said to him. "We were forced to launch early. Much of your equipment, your Foot ninja, your Elite forces, all were left behind."
"Yes, it is not as I had intended," Shredder told her as she finished placing the gauntlets on the suit. "But it will not stop me. I have allies on Tonella Five waiting for my return. And it will be easy to find mercenaries willing to join me in pillaging the galaxy. I will build a new army and ultimately return to the Utrom home world where vengeance shall be mine!"
Back in the city, Bishop's forces had managed to locate the Shredder's ship. "Agent Bishop, the Atlantic EPF has locked onto Saki's starship." One of Bishop's soldiers informed him.
"Fire at will." The agent ordered. At a hidden bunker, missiles rose from out of the ground and fired heading directly towards the ship.
"Whoa, Mr. Saki, another wrinkle. Multiple rim fire missiles are on afloat!" Chaplin exclaimed as he saw the inbound missiles on the radar.
"What?" Shredder shouted as he and Karai were heading towards the turtles location that Chaplin had given them.
"Shows at least eight hostiles on an intercept course," The scientist explained. "But, no worries, we have Doctor Stockman's ingenious defense system on the job." Chaplin fired a laser beam at the missiles, destroying a few of them. However, one had managed to make it through and was now coming towards the ship. The scientist tried to fire the beam again but was locked out of the system's defense. Stockman's head appeared on the screen denying him in a mocking tone in a sing songy voice. "Huh? No way! Mr. Saki, our defense pitchers just went offline!"
The missile exploded as it crashed into the side of the ship, making contact. The shockwave knocked everyone off their feet.
"Their defenses are down." Bishop's soldier to him.
"Thank you, Doctor Stockman." The agent said as he turned to the cyborg standing next to him.
"Oh, believe me, Agent Bishop, it was my pleasure." The former foot scientist smirked.
"Launch all remaining missiles. Blow that ship out of the sky." Bishop ordered the rest of his commandos. More missiles were fired as they shot at the ship.
"We've got incoming, Mr. Saki! Lots of it!" Chaplin cried out as several more missiles crashed into the ship. "I'm trying to bypass Doctor Stockman's control codes and override the box manually so that I can-"
"Dr. Chaplin, enough! Where are the turtles?" The Shredder demanded, interrupting him.
"They're trying to gain access to the power core, sir."
The group entered into the power core and saw a giant flow of energy at the center of the room. They slowly walked over to it. "Whoa, I hate to say it, but impressive." Donnie said in awe.
"Professor Honeycutt?" Leo asked.
"Just plug me into any maintenance input and I should be able to take control of the ship." The Fugitoid explained. Donnie walked over the core's input and inserted the Fugitoid into it. The robot started to hack into the core's system trying to get control of the ship.
"We can make this the emergency bridge! Spock, to the emergency bridge. Scotty, we need more power!" Mikey joked as he imitated in Captain Kirk's voice. Everyone stared at him, silently. Mikey laughed, sheepishly. "Heh, sorry."
"Four minutes, and I will have completely control of the heavy compulsion." The Fugitoid explained. The door ahead of them started to rise open and everyone saw that it was Shredder and Karai.
"We don't have four minutes." Leo said as he pulled out his swords. Everyone got into a fighting stance and pulled out their weapons. Splinter glared at the Utrom as he raised and poised his sword at him.
"Shredder, may my master Yoshi's sword taste vengeance today!" He declared as he and Shredder charged at each other. Splinter deflected the Utrom's gauntlets with his sword and dodges some of his swipes.
"You made a grave mistake following me here, rodent." Shredder growled as he spatted out. Everyone tried to take out Shredder from all four sides. While the others were fighting against Shredder, Venus staid back while Alopex protected her as the two clashed against Karai. The healer was the group's only chance of recovery. If she goes down, they were in trouble. Karai saw this and immediately tried to take the advantage.
She slashed her sword at Alopex, who blocked the kunoichi's strikes with her butterfly katanas. However, Karai had managed to land a few blows, slashing at Alopex's cheek and side. Venus charged at Karai as her eyes were locked on the ninja's chi, to temporarily paralyze her. Karai deflected Alopex's sword with her own and quickly moved back, dodging Venus as she struck out at her. She grabbed the shinobi's wrist with a harsh twist. Alopex charged at Karai with her sword.
It all happened fast, as Alopex fell to the ground when Karai spinned kicked her hard in the face and kicked her in the ribs, breaking them. Mikey cried out in worry as he saw her fall. He tried to rush over to her but Shredder slashed at him with his gauntlets keeping the turtle back. Venus tried to rush over to Alopex but Karai blocked her as she swiped at Venus with her swords. The shinobi dodged them helplessly until Karai flipped over her and grabbed Venus's arms. A loud pop was heard and Venus cried out in pain as her arms were dislocated from her shoulders. Karai landed a hard blow to the back of Venus's head, knocking her out.
"Venus!" Donnie cried out as he saw her fall to the ground.
"Donnie, go! We got this!" Leo urgently shouted at him. The purple masked turtle rushed over to fight against Karai. Shredder picked Raph and Mona and tossed them, sending the two over the edge of the core. Raph had managed to grab on to the railings on the lower bottom floor, pulling himself up. Mikey grabbed Mona with his nunchucks wrapping it around her wrist.
Splinter hopped onto the Shredder's back, taking off the Utrom's helmet. He used it as a shield as the Shredder striked at Splinter with his own sword and knocked it out of the Utrom's hand. Suddenly a loud explosion knocked everyone off balance as a missile crashed followed by multiple more. Pieces of wiring and rubble fell from above as everyone tried to move out of the way. Raph climbed up to get to the others as a large piece of the wall landed in front of him.
"Look out!" Mikey warned as a live wire came down at Donnie and him. Donnie pinned the wire down with his staff. Mikey grabbed a wire next to him that was spewing out electricity.
"Shredder!" He called out as he and Donnie charged at the Utrom with it, to shock him. Shredder grabbed Donnie, knocking him out of the way and took the turtles wire. Then he grabbed Mikey's wire out of his hands and knocked the turtle down and raised the two up ready to electrocute Mikey with them. Splinter let out a gasp with a horrified expression on his face. He sprinted over Mikey and quickly pushed the turtle out of the way.
"Michelangelo, move!" Before Splinter could react, Shredder quickly brought the wires down on the rat, shocking him with them. Splinter let out an agonizing scream of pain as he felt every bolt of electricity shock him like piercing knives, burning his fur. Leo and Yuuki watched in horror as they saw Splinter fall to the ground, seeing what happend.
"Master Splinter!" Leo cried out. He and Yuuki tried to run at the Shredder to attack him but Karai jumped in their way. She kicked Yuuki back, knocking her a few feet away from Leo and her. Yuuki hit her head on a collapsed piece of rubble and was knocked out. Leo growled as narrowed his eyes at Karai but was hesitant to attack her. He managed to knock one of Karai's sword of her hands and the kunoichi pulled out her other sword. Then a collapsed wall came tumbling down on top of Leo and Karai. Leo pushed her out of the way but Karai slashed at him with her sword. He quickly deflected it, clashing his own against hers.
"My master was leaving," Karai shouted at him. "It did not have to be this way!"
An explosion suddenly shook the ship, and Karai lost her footing falling over the railings. Leo quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. "You are too kind, Leonardo," Karai thanked him as she pulled herself up. Then she reached out and pulled out Leo's other sword from it's sheath and kicked him away. Leo fell onto his back and looked up to see Karai coming down on top of him with his sword. He quickly reacted and defended himself with his other sword. Karai smirked down at him. "Much too kind."
Leo flipped kicking her away from him and jumped back to gain his bearings. Then Leo felt a hard slam to the back of his shell knocking the wind out of him as he was thrown forward towards Karai. Karai's eyes widen in shock and she raised Leo's own sword. Leo's eyes widen in shock as he felt a piercing pain as he was impaled in his left shoulder just above his plastron. Leo let out a painful grunt. Karai stared back at him shocked and horrified as well as she saw him fall to the ground, dropping his sword. Leo's sheath was caught by his blade as it fell off of him. Mona stared in horror as she finally managed to pull Raph up and let out a gasp. Raph looked to where she was looking, seeing Leo collapsing on to the ground.
"Leo! NOOOOOO!" Raph exclaimed. He glared at Karai full of rage and charged at her.
"KARAI!" Raph growled and kicked her, sending Karai flying and knocking Leo's sword out of her hand. She looked up to see Raph coming down on her and kicked her again. Karai was knocked back against the railings. Raph charged at her but Shredder stepped in front of him, blocking Raph from Karai. He picked Raph up by his arm and Raph tried to stab the Utrom with his other sai. Shredder grabbed Raph's wrist, knocking the turtle's weapon out of his hand and slammed Raph down on his knee, breaking the turtle's ribs.
"Raph!" Mona cried out as she saw Shredder threw him. She ran over and tried to punch the Utrom but Shredder grabbed Mona as well and twisted her arm at an awkward angle, breaking it. He slammed her on the ground, knocking the breath out of Mona. She felt her side ache and struggled to breathe as she tried to get up. Her vision was blurry as she heard Mikey and Donnie call out to her warning her to move. She looked up and saw the Shredder brought his gauntlet down and slammed it hard against her shoulder. Shredder kicked her away and Mona slid over to Raph, completely knocked out cold. The two remain turtles faced against the Shredder and ran at him.
Mikey jumped over him and tried to land an attack but Shredder landed a hard kick in Mikey's leg, breaking it. Mikey yelled out in pain as he fell to the ground and Shredder slammed down on the turtle's shell pushing him down and stepped on the turtle's other leg breaking it as well. Donnie jumped bring his staff down on the Utrom, barely making a dent on the fortified armor. Shredder grabbed Donnie's staff and roughly tossed Donnie to the side, knocking his staff out of his hands. Donnie quickly got up and tried to throw a punch but Shredder grabbed the turtle's wrist, breaking it. Donnie's eyes widened as he saw Shredder raise his arm before he slammed it on Donnie's shoulder breaking his arm.
Donnie groaned and fell to the ground at the Shredder's feet as he was knocked out.
The Shredder laughed evilly as he saw that everyone was defeated.
More inbound missiles exploded as it crashed into the ship. Chaplin was still trying to bypass Stockman's lockdown as the security continued to mock him.
"Oh, shut up, Doctor Stockman!" Chaplin slammed his fist as he grabbed his hair, frantically. "We are so cooked!" As two more missiles were about to hit, the two suddenly drifted off course.
"What? Yes! We are out of range. We made it!" Chaplin cheered happily.
"Eight seconds until I have control," The Fugitoid started to count down almost in the core's systems. Shredder walked over to the input and raised his gauntlet. "Seven.-" He slashed Donnie's hand held, severing the robot's connection.
"Meddlesome machine." He growled. Then he turned back to Leo and started to inch closer to him. Leo slowly opened his eyes and struggled to sit up. It felt like his entire body was on fire and he was completely exhausted. Leo held his shoulder to stop the bleeding and felt that a piece of his shell was missing. Then he heard footsteps coming up from behind him and looked up to see the Shredder staring down at him. Leo's eyes widened as he saw the Shredder raise his gauntlet ready to bring it down on him. Yuuki groaned as she sat up, holding her head.
Her eyes widened and gasped quickly rushed over to the two. It was like time had slowed down as Leo watched in horror reliving and seeing his worst nightmare again. Yuuki cried out "No!" jumping in between him and the Shredder. Shredder brought down his gauntlet and slashed Yuuki across her chest, cutting her down. Leo let out a shuttered gasp as he saw Yuuki fall backwards, and he quickly caught her in his arms.
"Yuuki!" Leo screamed as he tried to get her to wake up. He felt her blood slowly began to pool in his hands from her deep wound.
"Finally, after all of these years, my hated enemy's daughter is defeated." Shredder laughed. It was as if he was unconscious as his body reacted on his own. Leo slowly reached over to his sword, lying next to him, looking at Shredder with an emotionless expression on his face. He gently laid Yuuki down on the floor and struggled to get back on his feet again. Leo screamed as he let out a roar of anger. He charged at the Shredder with the last remaining of his strength. Leo brought his katana down on the Utrom. Shredder grabbed it and shattered Leo's sword breaking it in half. Then he punched Leo in his plastron before slamming his fist back down on the turtle's shell, knocking Leo on the ground. Leo felt himself getting picked up as he was lifted off from the ground. His vision was blurry as he glanced over at Yuuki weakly reaching out to her.
"It is time we finally end this!" The Shredder raised his gauntlet ready to deliver the final blow on Leo. But a sword stopped him. Shredder turned as he growled angrily at who did it. Karai. "How dare you!"
"You have defeated them, my lord," She pleaded to him. "Leave them in their dishonor."
"Agent Bishop, sir, target starship has moved out of range of terrestrial launch sites," One of Bishop's soldier's told him. "But, we now have satellite control. Bringing weapon online."
"Fire at will." The agent ordered the attack. A nearby satellite fired off some missiles at the ship.
"Oh no. No, no, no, no!" Chaplin cried out as he saw the missiles on the radar. Shredder glared at Karai, dropping Leo.
"Karai, you go too far!" He punched her, knocking the kunoichi back. "You dishonor me with your insolence!" She looked up and her eyes widened as she saw her father raising his gauntlet to attack her. A missile exploded into the ship. "What?Chaplin, what is happening out there?" Shredder demanded. The door closed behind him and Karai, sealing itself. Shredder pounded on the door trying to get it to open. "Chaplin! Doctor Chaplin, get this door open, now!"
"Um, okay, but it'll take a minute," The scientist explained. "I'll have to bypass the emergency protocols. Those wacky missiles jammed the security overrides pretty darn good, but not to worry, big guy. We're still on course for the rendezvous into nullified."
Leo, Mikey, Raph, Donnie, Mona groaned as they sat up. Their bodies were completely drained and in pain. "Man, my... everything hurts." Mikey groaned as he tried to support himself up. He looked over at Alopex and saw her not lying a few feet away from him. He crawled over and held her in his arms. Donnie was holding Venus, who was still knocked out. While Mona and Raph were holding each other. They saw Leo quietly holding Yuuki as he tore off pieces of her jacket using it as bandages to stop the bleeding. Their eyes widen in shock seeing how deep Yuuki wound was. She was losing a lot of blood.
"Y-Yuuki?" Mikey stammered in worry.
"Is she going to be okay?" Raph asked Leo. Donnie looked down at Venus biting his lip, desperately wanting for her to wake up.
"The Shredder's trying to get back in. He'll finish us for sure...how's Master Splinter?" Leo asked, ignoring Raph's question. He was more focused on trying to get the bleeding to stop.
"My children...I'm sorry," Splinter tried to speak but was in too much pain as well.
"No, sensei," Leo replied. "It's our fault. We couldn't stop him. We failed. We failed the Utroms, Yoshi. We failed you...I failed you."
"So that's it?" Raph said in disbelief. "Shredder wins?"
"It's not we're in any shape to stop him." Mikey said.
"Unless..." Leo paused before turning to the energy core behind them. "You know..." He murmured. "That's a lot of energy."
"In the wrong hands." Raph commented.
"It would make a pretty big bang." Mikey added as well.
"We'd never survive." Donnie shook his head, grimly.
"But, neither would the Shredder," Leo said. Everyone looked at him. "We could end this."
"No," Splinter held his hands up. "My children, I could never ask you to-"
"I-It's okay, sensei," Mikey replied. "We know the score."
"If we don't stop the Shredder now." Raph said.
"Millions of innocent beings throughout the galaxy will suffer at his hands." Donnie explained.
"It's alright, father, we're all agreed." Leo nodded.
"Then let us finish this...together." Splinter replied. Donnie stood up and picked up his hand held trying to get it to come on. "Come on, professor. Be okay, be okay."
The Fugitoid appeared on the screen as he started to fade in and out. "Donatello, what..."
"Professor, we need you to overload the power core," Donnie told him.
"But...that would cause an explosion of great magnitude..." The Fugitoid paused realizing what they wanted to do. "Oh...I see. I fear the situation was...hopeless, but...I understand. I am with you until the end. Here we go, then." Donnie inserted the device back into the input and the Fugitoid started the countdown. "Overload in five...four...three..." The four brothers braced themselves as the robot continued to count down. Mikey gripped Alopex's hand tightly in his own. Mona and Raph hugged each other on last time. Leo pulled Yuuki closer to him as he held her in his arms. "Two...one..."
Donnie ran as the Fugitoid hacked into the core as it started to explode. The door finally opened as Shredder ran in along with Karai seeing what they had done.
"No!" Shredder shouted.
Minutes later, a spaceship was floating nearby, it was the Utroms. The Fugitoid was finally able to send out a distress signal to them, telling the aliens where the Shredder's ship was.
"Mortu, we close in on Honeycutt's signal, but we sense the destruction of the evil one's ship is imminent." One of the three Utroms, floating in the glass chamber, told Mortu, who was piloting the ship.
"We can delay no longer." The second Utrom replied.
"Prepare the exosuits." The third one finished.
"And transmat aboard immediately." The first Utrom said.
"Commander, all is in order." Another Utrom told Mortu.
"Agreed. To the transmat, now." Mortu said. "And activate the stasis bubble immediately."
The Utroms boarded the Shredder's ship as they used the stasis bubble to slow down time for a few minutes. They entered the core room, seeing the turtles, the girls and Splinter as well as Shredder and Karai, who was running towards them as the core was about to explode.
"Mr. Mortu, sir, collapse of the stasis bubble is imminent. It will not hold." One of the Utroms informed the captain as he was checking the core.
"Transmat the turtles, Yuuki, and Splinter and the others to the infirmary immediately!" Mortu ordered them. "Send Professor Honeycutt to our main laboratories." He narrowed his eyes as he turned to the Shredder and Karai. "Send this scum to the holding cells, along with their accomplice on the bridge."
"Yes, sir, transmatting now."
The turtles, Splinter and the girls were all transported as well as Shredder and Karai. As the Utroms' boarded back onto their own ship and teleported back to their home world, Shredder's ship exploded as the core erupted.
"Target destroyed, sir. Scanning the wreckage...no survivors, sir." One of Bishop's soldier's told the agent, seeing the Shredder's ship completely destroyed on the radar.
"The Shredder?" Stockman said in disbelief. "Destroyed? It's too good to be true! For once in my life, I'm...I'm speechless."
"Stockman, you've been very useful," Bishop smirked at the cyborg. "This could be the start of a mutually beneficial partnership."
Leo groaned as he opened his eyes to see a bright blinding light. Was he dead? Where were the others? Yuuki...His eyes widened. "Yuuki!" Leo quickly sat up only to instantly regret it as he felt his entire body scream in pain.
"Well, look who decided to wake up." Leo heard Raph spoke next to him. He saw Raph, Mona, Alopex, with bandages wrapped around their chests, Mikey with his legs in casts with crutches supporting him, Donnie had his arm in a cast with a sling around his neck to support his broken arm, Venus in a full upper body cast, and Splinter, his hair was all completely burnt off and smelled really bad. Leo felt his heart drop when he didn't see Yuuki.
"Where are we? Where's Yuuki? What happened?" Leo started to blurt out in questions all at once. Splinter placed his hand on Leo's arm to calm him down.
"Be calm my son. We are all safe. It was our friends the Utroms who rescued us at the last second." He explained.
"And Yuuki?" Leo asked.
"They're working on her right now. It's been hours since we've heard anything." Donnie told him. The door slid open and Mortu walked in, in his exosuit.
"Ah, it is good to see that you're all awake." The Utrom greeted them.
"It is good to see you again, Mr. Mortu." Splinter smiled.
"Where's the Shredder?" Leo asked him.
"He and his accomplices are in our holding cells awaiting to stand trial." Mortu told him. "If you all would like to, you may come and witness it."
Suddenly, alarms went off in the hallway, making everyone go on alert.
"What's happening?" Mikey shouted. "Are we under attack?!" Another Utrom approached Mortu, speaking to him.
"Mr. Mortu, we have a code blue." Mortu's eyes widened.
"What are you doing standing around then?!" He shouted. "Save Yoshi's daughter, my god daughter. We can't lose her."
"What's going on?" Leo asked him as he stood up and walked over to the two.
"It's Yuuki. She's in critical condition. She's lost a lot of blood and her injuries were severe." Mortu told him. Leo's eyes widened as did everyone else's.
"She can't die!" Mikey shouted. "Help her! Do whatever you can! Just don't let her die. She can't..." He shook his head, shaking tears away from his eyes. Alopex gripped Mikey's hand tightly in hers.
"We're doing all that we can to save her." Mortu told them. Suddenly, more alarms went off as a medic from across the hall ran out of the room that Yuuki was being operated in.
"Mr. Mortu, we need you in here now! She's going into cardiac arrest!" Mortu quickly ran as the others followed behind him, into the operating room. They saw several Utrom medics preforming CPR on Yuuki.
"Yuuki!" Leo shouted as he tried to get to her, but several doctors held him back.
"You all can't be in here at this time." One of them told everyone. "Please, wait outside."
"We ain't going anywhere! That's our sister!" Raph shouted.
"I won't ask again. Please leave or I will have to call in security." Another doctor told them. Mortu stepped up to them.
"They have my permission to be here." He told them. More alarms went off, followed by a flat tone.
"We're losing her!"
"Yuuki!" Leo cried out.
Yuuki felt like she was floating in darkness until she saw a bright light, blinding her. It felt warm. Yuuki opened her eyes when she heard two voices call out to her, a man and a woman. The two stood in front of her, the man with short dark brown hair, eye color just like hers, wearing a yellow and black striped suit. The woman standing next to him was very beautiful, had green eyes, long flowing black hair, wearing a white and blue petaled kimono. Yuuki stepped away from them as she stared in disbelief, now realizing who they were. Tears slowly began to fall from the corners of her eyes as her mouth dropped a little still in shock. Her parents, Yoshi and Tang Shen.
"Hello Yuuki." Yoshi smiled. Tang Shen walked over to her and wrapped her arms around Yuuki squeezing her into a tight hug.
"Yuuki we are so proud of you. You've grown so much since you were a baby. You look like both of us."
"M-Mom." Yuuki stammered then looked over at Yoshi as her mother walked back over to him. "D-Dad? This...This can't be real."
The two smiled and nodded their heads but their happiness was it was short lived when Yuuki gave Yoshi a hard punch in his cheek. Tang Shen eyes widen. She was about to speak when Yoshi stopped her.
"How could you both leave me like this!?" Yuuki cried as she screamed at her father. "Do you have any idea what you put me through?"
"Everything that we did, was to protect you, Yuuki. We never stopped loving you and we never will." Yoshi told her.
"But, you could've fought harder! You could've...You left me all alone." Yuuki hiccuped as more tears were streaming down her cheeks. Yoshi sighed as he held her tighter in his arms.
"Anata wa hitori ja nai." He told her. Yuuki looked up at him confused. "What?"
"Anata wa hitori ja nai. You are not alone. You never were." He told her. "You have others who care about you, those who love you like we do. The two of you must go back to them. It is not your time yet, my little princess."
Yuuki looked at him even more confused. Two? "What do you mean by that...father?"
"You'll have to figure that out for yourself. It's time to go back. Goodbye, Yuuki." Yoshi told her.
"We love you so much, don't ever forget that!" Her mother told her.
"Tell Splinter what I've told you. Anata wa hitori ja nai." Their voices began to drone out and Yuuki felt herself being pushed away from them. Yuuki tried to reach out to them, not wanting to leave. But Leo...Her eyes widened. Leo! She had to go back! She couldn't leave him, Raph, Mikey, Donnie, Splinter and the others. Yuuki moaned as she opened her eyes. She heard Splinter gasp then heard Leo's voice calling out to her. She felt him squeeze her hand.
"Yuuki?"
Yuuki turned her head to the side to see Leo sitting next to her. She smiled back at him. Everyone cheered, also crying a little. They were happy to see that she was going to be okay. Yuuki turned back to Splinter to see him looking at her with a warm smile.
"Sensei, I saw my parents." She told him. Splinter's eyes widened as did everyone else. Yuuki struggled to talk but she was completely exhausted and tired. Splinter stopped her.
"You can tell us later, my child." He told her. Yuuki shook her head.
"No, I have to tell you this. Yoshi told me to tell you. "Anata wa hitori ja nai." She told him. Leo's eyes widen a little in surprise. Yuuki saw a tear slip through the ninja master's eye as he wiped it away.
"What does that mean?" Mikey asked, a little confused. "My japanese is a little rusty."
Splinter smiled. "You are not alone."
The turtles and the girls, Splinter, Mortu, and the Fugitoid stood on a platform in the Utrom's judgement hall chamber. Holographic heads floated above them of different aliens from different galaxies. Another platform below them rose up from the floor as the Shredder was bound by beams, keeping him in place. The beams pulled the Utrom out from his armor as he floated in midair. Karai and Chaplain came up from another platform next to the Shredder. Karai glanced over at the turtles, looking at Leo when she noticed him.
A platform rose up, revealing the Utrom council members. "Hail and peace to all sentient beings. In the name of the great lawgiver, Matthes Arles, this tribunal is now called to order," One of the council said. "We sit in judgement over Ch'rell for war crimes and atrocities committed throughout the galaxy. Ch'rell also known as Oroku saki and the Shredder."
"Prepare to face the following charges." A hologram of a planet appeared on it.
"Let it be known that as Dolphed has testified you did willingly launch an attack on the planet on the planet Enethone."
"Over one million innocent inhabitants perished. And as Juan Ron Oko has proven, you incited and funded a civil war on Eno 2, in effort to mine their raw minerals without restriction. 3.2 million perished. Finally, your crimes against the Utrom home world include multiple attempts to take control of the government through an illegal and violent coup. We will now commune on the verdict..." Everyone watched in tension waiting for the Utroms response when they finally spoke.
"In the name of the great lawgiver, this tribunal finds you, Ch'rell, guilty."
Shredder's eyes widened before he growled, angrily glaring up at the council members.
"Ouch." Chaplain murmured.
"Ch'rell, you are hereby sentenced to eternal exile on the ice asteroid, Mor Gal Tal." One of the council members said. Karai's eyes went wide in horror and in shock as she gasped.
"You are not fit to touch me. I am the Shredder!" The Shredder exclaimed before the beams began to rip his matter and particles, teleporting him. "I am invincible! I...I...no! Nooooo!"
"May your actions haunt you forever." The council member replied. "As for the Shredder's comrades, they shall be returned to Earth and handed over to the proper authorities." The platform holding Karai and Chaplain began to lower to the floor.
"This is not what I wanted, Leonardo," Karai glared at him. "This is not what I wanted!"
"We all owe you a debt of gratitude. The Shredder has finally been brought to justice." Mortu smiled at the group.
"Is it really over?" Leo asked Splinter.
