I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Krysta's fight
Now on the outskirts of the city on Canepa path. Mikey looked over Krysta's text as discreetly as he could with Klunk and Casey just as discreetly tried to look over his shoulder. The two could sense him getting nervous.
"What is it?" Klunk hissed as Mikey felt her fur prick in anxiety for his own.
"Krysta says they're looking for the Heart of Tengu!" Mikey hissed. "This is bad!"
"Why?" Casey asked.
"It's supposedly from the same place of origin as the Sword of Tengu a terrible weapon that seals a person's mystic powers or put them in excruciating pain." Mikey explained.
"Right the one Big Mama gave that evil Tiger Claw…" Klunk muttered in fear. "This the Heart worse."
"Yes, it steals people's souls and kills people instantly." Mikey muttered. "It's also able to summon the Gothano in exchange for those souls….and from what Draxum told me there's something unnatural about it…." Mikey said shivering.
"Spread out! Search for the Heart of Tengu!" shouted the team leader as Casey and Mikey quickly looked to where he is. As the group immediately headed in one direction away from everyone else. One of the first places they decided on was an old nearby mill.
"Ohh I feel a tingle!" Mikey gasped with a hissed.
"In there!?" Casey asked. "What kind?!"
"A nasty one…" Mikey said as he glanced around making sure none of the other Cult members were there. Immediately Mikey pulled on the door, but it was jammed shut. He then used his Nun chucks to have them snake around the door and pull it out of it's hinges.
"We're breaking into it?!" Casey gasped. "Isn't this like a park?"
"Desperate times Casey. Besides if I do it this way maybe they can put it back." Mikey replied he pulled the door off it's hinges and leaned it on the wall of the mill.
There were to their surprise a bunch of mystic plants that were glowing inside as well as dull but still lit purple runes that Mikey leaned into his face scrunched into one of thought as he looked them over.
"More runes but it looks like you can read those. Am I right?" Casey asked as Klunk jumped up onto Mikey's shell to look at the runes as well.
"Yeah, I was taught these but it's been forever since I actually thought about it or brushed up. But it's nothing impressive from what I can tell. But I think this place might've been a Yokai village at one point.
"For real!?" Klunk gasped in awe. "I didn't think any ruins would be left especially from what you told me about what Draxum told you."
"Right? He would go on and on about that." Mikey huffed.
"What do you mean?" Casey asked.
"I guess no one ever told you. But Yokai used to live on the surface with humans hundreds of years ago. Until they were chased underground," Mikey explained.
"Wow! It's kind of sad it took the end of the world to bring them back together…." Casey muttered thoughtfully.
"I know…but I'm hoping once we save the future. It won't be the only thing that can do that." Mikey replied as he lit up an orb in his hand and began to look around the area.
"You really think we can do it?" Casey asked.
"Case we beat the Shredder a Mutant Mafia and several crimes bosses! We've got this." Mikey chipperly replied he came across a Journal. He began reading it again to the best of his ability.
"Star Curse…Demo-Dragon….fight…..destroy…Sword rip…..heart…." Mikey muttered.
"The Great Darknesses fought here!?" Klunk gasped.
"Yeah, and it looks like this village was destroyed by them but not before the Sword of Tengu ripped out a heart."
"Maybe it's the Heart of Tengu. You said they had a similar origin." Casey replied.
"I did….and something is in here…I can feel it…." Mikey muttered as he pressed himself to the floor and knocked on it a couple of times before hearing something hollow. "Down in here!"
"It's a Cellar door!" Klunk replied grabbing the ring and flying to try and open it to no avail as Casey and Mikey rushed over and pulled as hard as they could, falling in when it suddenly popped open as Klunk stayed airborne and looked inside the cellar door gasping as she flew into it.
"You guys good?" Klunk gasped, worriedly looking them over.
"Not really…" Mikey muttered sitting up as he noticed something carved into the wall. The same dull purple light as the runes. He looked up a picture on his phone and gasped. "The Sword of Tengu! Or rather it's pic!"
"That!?" Casey asked looking at the wall.
"Here too!" Mikey replied, showing the photo on his phone a picture he had drawn of the sword. Casey looked it over.
"That looks like Krang Tech." Casey muttered.
"It does?" Mikey asked looking at the sword.
"Yeah, the gem is a power core. The hilt has pink lines for circuitry. I've seen it in Krang Weapons all the time. Didn't think they'd ever just make a sword though." Casey muttered thoughtfully.
Mikey shrugged. "Tengu does mean the most Barbaric in Yokai languages. So maybe they just got named that."
"Yeah, which might mean the Heart of Tengu is some Krang Tech as well…" Casey muttered. Mikey turned to where he sensed the dark energy and stood up.
"Only one way to find out." Mikey replied as they marched towards the door Klunk jumping up on Mikey's shoulders. The sinister energy was searing throughout his body now burning it a little. For this door Casey smashed the door open with his weapon. And inside in the center of the room corrupting the glowing plants to be it's own color was something in the shape of an organ Heart. But covered in lines and crystals glowing brightly in a sinister amber color. The rest of it a jet black. And yet there was a luster of a black diamond to it. And it was sitting there beating over and over as if it hadn't been ripped out of a Demo-Dragon.
Horrified by their discovery, the three simply turned away from the door. For about five seconds before they spastically tried to cave the place in.
Mikey was screaming as he blasted the area with meteors, alongside Klunk who had turned into a copy of Donnie to blast it with Mystic missiles while Casey slammed his weapon repeatedly and rapidly into the sides of the walls.
"CAVE! CAVE IN! CAVE IN! CAVE IN I SAY!" he spastically shouted his eyes unfocusing and becoming fish-like as he did so.

Outside the cult members gasped and turned to the mill with lights blinking rapidly within the Mill.
"The Resuscitators!" shouted one as they began to rush towards it. However, Ho-Chan floated down in front of them making everyone bow. "Master Ho-Chan! I fear the worst!"
"Leave this to me." Ho-Chan replied as he glided quickly over the ground towards the mill and made his way towards the flashing lights below.
"WHY WON'T THIS STUPID CAVE BREAK!?" shouted the voice of a boy as Ho-Chan immediately found the source of the voice. He immediately used his powers to rip off the floor separating them as he looked into the now enlarged space. This had caught the attention of the three young mortals. One of which turned into a Rock the other into his shell as the boy picked up both and turned to Ho-Chan eyes wide and fearful like he had been caught misbehaving. Which was very much correct.
"So, you have infiltrated our ranks have you." Ho-Chan growled.
"Well, I mean it wasn't that hard." Casey replied sheepishly.
"Duly noted." The Yokai growled.
Mikey poked his head out of his shell glaring a little at Ho-Chan. "How'd you find us so fast! We were careful!"
"You flatter yourself little Kappa. It was easy to find you with the screaming, the banging the pleading, more screaming and crying-"
"We get it!" Casey snapped cutting him off as Klunk and Mikey got into battle stances glaring nervously as Casey readied his weapon.
"I thank you for finding the Heart of Tengu for me! But I am disgusted that the one who freed me from my seal would be a resuscitator!" Ho-Chan growled snarling at Mikey.
"Wait me?" Mikey yelped. "When!?"
"So, you do not remember? No matter that information is superfluous anyway." Ho-Chan replied. "But you will give the Heart of Tengu to me!"
"Something that evil!? Not gonna happen Hoss!" Mikey growled.
Mikey immediately grabbed the rocks around him with his chains. They came much easier now that the Heart of Tengu wasn't being threatened. He whipped them at Ho-Chan who was quick to blast them away. But Mikey suddenly used the dust to blind him while flying at him and riding the rocks he had engulfed with mystic energy.
Ho-Chan was quick to blast at them, but Mikey merely jumped to another mystic rock snake that had circled around and slammed into him as Mikey landed a punch in his face knocking him back.
He immediately summoned the water around them and slammed it down on Mikey's back. Fortunately, Mikey boiled the water to steam before unleashing a bunch of chains to try and pin down Ho-Chan, but he broke free. Immediately as Mikey went to land a kick only for Ho-Chan to catch him.
Mikey immediately used a fire kick to slam Ho-Chan in the side of the face. He then put down a rune sticker that sealed Ho-Chan's powers allowing him to get a few easy hits in as Ho-Chan ripped the sticker off and blasted him.
"Whoa look at him go!" Casey muttered as the two clashed with mystic blows back and forth Mikey zipping around using his chains and agility as an advantage.
"Case!" Klunk said, swatting him a bit. "We've gotta get that Heart ready to move! Do you have anything? I'm not sure we should be touching it."
"Yes, I think I have something!" Casey replied, pulling out a small device and tapping it on the Heart immediately it was contained in a large dome like device with a button on top for a release. And he picked up the container with the Heart.
"It worked!" Casey cheered as they suddenly saw Meteors fly over their heads surrounding Ho-Chan who was immediately hit by the spinning fire balls and crashing into the ground. He got up simply looking at Mikey.
"I'm impressed Kappa you are an excellent Mystic Warrior. But you will not win."
"Says the guy who's Ass I'm kicking." Mikey said pulling off a flash bomb attack before circling around Ho-Chan and doing just that before laughing at him as the Wizard turned sharply around with a yelp and gave him a vicious glare.
"Mikey I've got the Heart!" Casey called. "We've gotta get out of here!"
Mikey nodded at him as many of the Cult members began to pour in. Immediately a large mystic chain net trapped them all as they began climbing up the side of the newly opened cave into the forest.
"NO!" Ho-Chan shouted flying in after them. Mikey once through turned around and put up a force field that Ho-Chan immediately crashed into and slid down with a groan. Mikey then did a raspberry before running after Casey and Klunk.
After a few minutes once they felt safe, they stopped for a breath as Casey looked over the jewel. "That was close now we've gotta think of a way to destroy this thing." Casey replied.
"What is that container anyway?" Mikey asked.
Casey turned to Mikey and Klunk now on his friend's shoulder looking down at the container now holding the Heart. "It's something to contain Krang parts. Uncle Tello, (my Donnie) would actually experiment with them to find any advantage we could against the Krang. I was actually farming for some when…." He said trailing off.
"What?" Mikey asked blinking innocently.
"Don't worry about it. It's not important. We need to get back to the others. Any idea's how to do that quickly?" he asked.
Both Mikey and Klunk smirked at him.

"Keep searching!" Shouted the captain. "Leave no stone unturned!"
"Sounds like they're getting pretty agitated." Tiger Claw muttered as having found a cloak for Professor Suriano to disguise himself with as well.
"I wish we could figure out how to make your crystal free everyone at once." Krysta sighed. "Or we could just start freeing a bunch of people with it now."
"Too risky." Tiger Claw replied. "You don't know how to activate it and Professor Suriano doesn't have the Agility to keep out of the way long enough to get everyone."
"It also must recharge after each use so it can't be used repeatedly." Augustus added.
Krysta sighed. "Why San Marino anyway! Doesn't he have any actual followers."
"It did at one point from what I heard. But apparently five warriors dismantled the cult and captured all the other members while sealing him in something called the Sword of Tengu." Augustus replied.
Krysta and Tiger Claw gasped remembering how an enraged Mikey had overloaded the Sword of Tengu and imploded the blade.
"The Sword's been broken!" Augustus gasped.
"Sadly." Tiger Claw grunted. It was then a large flying Klunk landed by them. Mikey and Casey jumped off the latter holding a container with an object that they were sure was most likely the Heart of Tengu.
"Guys! You found it!?" Krysta asked running over.
"Yeah, but we weren't able to bury it in the cave where we found it." Mikey sighed. "We need to destroy it!" He replied taking it out with his chains then proceeding to try and crush it to no avail.
"Let us help!" Tiger Claw said as he charged silver light into his paws his stripes glowing. Krysta froze her tail as Klunk changed into the Shredder and Casey readied his weapon.
One by one they slammed their attacks into it. The Heart didn't move, nor did it strain under his chains. Tiger Claw punched and clawed at it repeatedly. He even tried helping Mikey crush it to no avail. But it was no use.
"Aw man! We're not smashing this thing any time soon! We should just give the Heart to the council and Sacred Guard. If anyone's gonna find that out, it'll be them." Mikey replied.
"Who?" Augustus asked Mikey who yelped, covering his mouth.
"Don't worry about it." Casey replied. "It might help to strip Ho-Chan of his followers as our next move."
"Yeah, Mikey was kicking his ass when he was alone! He can't take us all." Klunk added excitedly.
"Don't get cocky he might've been gauging Mikey." Tiger Claw replied. Mikey hummed in agreement.
"To bad Sensei isn't here we could send it into the core of the Earth." Casey noted.
"Like I would allow that!" shouted a voice. Floating above them was Ho-Chan glaring down at them.
"My Liberator from the Sword of Tengu is also a resuscitator! Disgraceful!" he growled hatefully at Mikey.
Mikey glared back. "I can stuff you into something else if ya like!" he snapped.
"Such impudence!" Ho-Chan growled.
"Go ahead! You're not that tough." Casey sneered.
"Ahh, you know that you've been making out the Krang to be on a whole other level, right?" Krysta asked looking at him skeptically.
"Yeah but when Mikey fought him he was kicking his butt. Maybe he's more talk then bite." Casey growled.
Ho-Chan's lip twitched as he let out a small snarl before smirking at the boy. "Perhaps, fighting has never really been a skill of mine and the Kappa there is an excellent Mystic Warrior. But how willing is he to strike the innocent?!" Ho-Chan asked summoning several portals that all of the Cult members poured out of Mikey gasped as they all surrounded Ho-Chan.
"They will throw themselves into any attack aimed for me. Will you be willing to kill them?" Ho-Chan sneered.
"Scumbag!" Casey snarled with a hiss as Mikey hung his head. Hochan suddenly appeared in front of Mikey and gripped his head and began forcefully mind melding Mikey who screamed in pain. He laughed as he began shuffling through Mikey's memories as he passed out.
"MIKEY!" everyone shouted.
Ho-Chan laughed. "Do not worry! I will make good use of the information he so nicely gave me." He sneered. "As for the rest of you…." He said his hand lightning up brightly. There was suddenly a burst of magic in front of them. It blasted them all and that was the last thing they saw.

When Casey woke up again, he was staring up at a stone ceiling. He gasped and sat up. Next to him in the cell was Krysta who groaned sitting up. She screamed at Casey pointing at his left hand.
"Huh?" Casey asked lifting it up. His hand and part of his forearm were gone leaving only a stump. "Aw man!"
"Casey! Your arm!" Krysta sputtered.
"It's okay it's a prosthetic." Casey assured. "It happens."
"It happens?" Krysta asked incredulously. "Are you that numb to the horrors?!"
"Yup." Casey replied flatly and simply. "So where are we do you think?" Casey asked.
"Guatita Tower. It used to be a prison back when it was first built. They might be wanting to the ritual here too with it being the biggest and tallest tower." Krysta replied.
"Krysta, is that you?" shouted the voice of Professor Suriano.
"Yes!" Krysta said jumping up and rushing to the cell door. She could see Augustus' hand waving out from beside them. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine what about you!?" Augustus asked.
"Yeah, we're good but who are you?" Casey asked.
"Oh, Professor Augustus Suriano before your time." Krysta replied.
"Guys I'm up here!" Klunk called. Krysta and Casey look up to see a cat carrier. Klunk was struggling inside. They then heard some rattling chains and grunts from a muzzled Tiger Claw in the cell on the left of them.
"Mikey's not here," Casey noted. "You don't think they'll use him in part of the ritual, do you?"
"I just know we have to get out of here!" Krysta growled as she began shaking the bars. "Come on! They can't be that sturdy."
"Hold on!" Casey said pulling her back a little as he put his mask down. "At least they didn't take this! I can use my mask to find the weakest part."
"Good plan." Krysta replied as she watched him scan the bars. "There!" he said pointing at the hinges of the door they both backed up to the side of the cell and ran as fast as they could ramming it as the prison door gave way and allowed them to get out.
Immediately they saw Tiger Claw pinned down in heavy chains with a thick muzzle on his face. He pointed his head towards the hallway.
"Are the keys that way?" Krysta asked. Tiger Claw nodded as she headed in that direction.
"We'll be back!" Casey hissed to them as they headed out. He came to see Krysta peeking around the corner her ears twisting back to him as he snuck up beside her.
"I see our stuff over there." She hissed to him pointing to a small side table by one of the guards.
Casey nodded sneaking up to one of the guards that was sitting and reading immediately he jabbed a finger in his neck making him yelp and pass out.
"Hey!" one of the cult members shouted but before he could do anything Casey charged into him sending him into the wall. The man slid down with a groan knocked out before Casey casually walked over to the table where his prosthetic was and popped it back into place testing it out.
"What did you do to the first one?" Krysta called kneeling over the cult member and checking his pulse.
"I hit a pressure point. Something master Elizabeth taught me." Casey replied.
"Oooh Cool!" she muttered in awe.
"Okay let's free the others!" Casey replied holding up the keys.
"Right!" Krysta replied as they rushed back to the cells.

Mikey was currently struggling to get off a table he was strapped too. He saw Bianca and who he assumed was her son strapped on tables across from each other in the other room. And the Heart of Tengu in the middle on a small pedestal column. Mikey then noticed the entirety of the room they were in. It was one big Rune. His eyes widened in horror. They were meant to be batteries.
"So, you have awakened, resuscitator." Said Ho-Chan as he walked into the room. "The Great Gothano will be pleased that one of his enemies is a sacrifice."
"Why do you want to end it all!?" Mikey immediately asked. "Why have a cult like this!?"
"Because life is suffering and only death will bring peace." Ho-Chan replied.
"Oh, you're flat out crazy. Got it." Mikey huffed in response. "You're not gonna get away with this! You're gonna have to wait for death like everybody else!" he snarled struggling. When he tried to bite through the leather straps, he was immediately muzzled for it.
Ho-Chan smirked at him and left as he went in the direction of the now loud cheering from outside.
"My Followers! Soon the Eclipse will be upon us! And once I contain it's light and use the lives of our sacrifices the Gothano will come to us. And I will use it's glorious knowledge to end our suffering!" Ho-Chan called as they all began chanting Gothano's name over and over again. Mikey gulped but then looked at the rune. He began trying to mess with it despite is position by using magic at the ground managing to break a couple of lines much to his glee.
But suddenly the platform began rising as the moon blocked out the sun changing everything to a semi dark lighting. As Ho-Chan began muttering something the light from the eclipse was pulled into the area within a few minutes Mikey could see the Moon move away from the sun. But the strange light was in the area. He worriedly looked at his sabotage hoping it would work.
Ho-Chan suddenly began glowing as did the lines that Mikey saw painted on Bianca and her son as well as him as everyone else rushed up.
"NO!" Krysta shouted rushing towards the ritual.
"Krysta wait!" Casey called. But Krysta ignored him jumping on and over the heads of the controlled City folk as she ran towards the stage.
As Ho-Chan began trying to channel their life force towards them the lines from the ritual began flashing like lights about to go out before all the light faded.
"It didn't work!" Bianca cried. "Why has fate forsaken us!?"
"Not fate!" Ho-Chan growled turning to Mikey who was doing his best to give him a smug look despite being muzzled. Immediately Ho-Chan stormed over and ripped off the muzzle. "What did you do you cursed brat!?" he snarled as Krysta screamed aiming herself at Ho-Chan and landing on him slamming his chin into the ground.
"Krysta!" Mikey cheered smiling brightly at seeing her. Krysta grinned as she began freeing Mikey.
"Lord Ho-Chan! They're interrupting the ceremony!" Bianca cried.
"We're trying to save you!" Krysta cried.
"Save us from what?" Bianca snarled. "peace!?"
"Do not worry." Ho-Chan growled standing between her and the two mutants. "I know how to deal with them!"
Watching this from afar Tiger Claw growled as Klunk turned into a net gun and shot a couple out. But it only resulted in people pulling the nets away. "There's too many of them! And we can't go all out!"
"Hey Professor, don't suppose there's anyway to increase the range on that thing?" Tiger Claw asked as Casey was trying to knock as many out as he could getting exhausted. Tiger Claw managed to knock a couple more out as Augustus nodded.
"We need the power of the sun! But that would require breaking that blasted force field over us." Augustus said as he jumped away from someone tackling him.
"Or maybe our own sun!" Tiger Claw gasped grabbing the Clear Eye. He shoved his way through the crowd and threw the eye at the Box Turtle. "Mikey make us a mini sun!" Tiger Claw shouted throwing it to Mikey who yelped managing to catch it with his nun chucks and grinning when he saw what it was.
"I get it! Krysta can you-" Mikey said turning to Krysta who looked frozen in place struggling to move and hyper ventilating. He gasped when he saw what she was looking at. King Komodo just as he was when he died.
"I told you I would make good use of the information in your head Kappa! Her darkness her trauma!" Ho-Chan declared as Mikey snarled at him going to charge only for King Komodo to swat him back with his tail.
"Stay out of this boy!" King Komodo snarled. "This is between me and Alopex." He said smiling at her as she backed away.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she shrieked beginning to cry. "Please just go away! Please!"
"Krysta fight it!" Klunk cried out to her from the air now using wings as she tried to attack King Komodo. Casey had made it to the stage as well catching Klunk as Mikey pulled himself back up and they surrounded Krysta who was struggling.
"As long as my mind worms are in you my dear. I will always have power over you…..even in death….you can't escape me! Not outliving me! Not when I find you in your dreams, as I have for quite a while now…." King Komodo sneered. "No matter how much therapy you get they always get worse don't they."
"Krysta don't listen to him!" Casey called to her getting in front of her with Mikey and Klunk. Tiger Claw managing to join them on the stage. "Something sensei Leonardo told me is Anata wa hitori Janai. Or rather you are not alone!"
"He's right Krysta! We're with you! And we won't leave you alone! We came back for you didn't we?" Tiger Claw asked.
"You did and Mikey….he…." Krysta said looking at her friends shell. Mikey stood there ready to fight King Komodo.
"You have no life to go back to. And you can't move forward. Your only chance is to work….. for me." Those words burnt into her soul.
"But I didn't want to be one of them….even after I was mutated. Even if that meant living alone in the woods like a wild animal forever…..But then….."
"Uhh Senior Hueso, maybe you can help Krysta." Attila said timidly pointing to her.!
"I suppose it's the least I can do…." Hueso said.
I had to work at Hueso's restaurant to pay him back for learning at the witch school but I had a home, a life again….it wasn't like the old one….over time…..there's no where else I'd rather be."
Krysta's eyes snapped open they flashed a bright light. She felt something leave her before roaring and slamming an icy tail right on Komodo's head much to his shock before she slashed at his eyes.
He roared in pain. "What is going on!?" he growled.
"The Mind worms effects are gone for good baby!" Mikey cheered elatedly before jumping up with a fiery kick. "COWABUNGA!" he shouted with jubilation and with sheer malice and mischief he landed his blow right on the hole where Leo's swords had gone through him making him shriek in pain as the two jumped up back-to-back before spinning in a combination of fire and ice drilling into King Komodo and knocking him back.
Tiger Claw then immediately grabbed him with all his might. His stripes glowing brightly as he threw Komodo into the ground the cult members scattered as he lay there fading away instantly. Mikey growled at Ho-Chan and charged Ho-Chan knocked him away.
Mikey however was quick to dodge another attack from Ho-Chan before summoning a bunch of chains to tie him down. However, Ho-Chan merely broke them apart and shot them at Mikey who used his Nun Chucks to blocks them before spinning in his shell and ramming into Ho-Chan knocking him back long enough for Mikey to being charging up a small ball of light using a chain to hold up the Clear eye as a beautiful blue light from the small star Mikey made began shining throughout the area.
Within minutes all of the Cult members fell to the ground and passed out. Tiger Claw grinned venomously up at Ho-Chan who snarled and summoned a large burst of magic in his hands. Mikey, however, growled his markings shining brightly as when the large burst of magic was thrown at them. Mikey jumped up and spun his nun chucks spinning like a blade as they cut through the attack the two sides of it exploding around them as Mikey landed.
Ho-Chan snarled at them before looking up and gasping. Flying away from Mikey who blinked in surprise and looked to see the Gothano.
"There it is!" Casey shouted as he used his grappling hook to fly up and attack it. Mikey and Krysta right behind him. Krysta circled around on an ice stream she rode on as she attacked Gothano with an ice tail as Mikey wrapped it up in chains and slammed it into the ground Casey rushed over ready to slam his hockey stick weapon into it. But it unleashed a blast of Darkness knocking them back and breaking free of the chains Mikey had on it. It flew up as Ho-Chan flew up after it.
"LORD GOTHANO!" Ho-Chan cried. "Please bestow upon me your glorious knowledge! I shall sacrifice all these others for it Their souls trapped forever in the Netherworld!" he declared opening a large portal under everyone much to the horror of everyone as Augustus managed to stay just on the outside in horror as everyone began falling into the Portal.
Klunk was flying above them watching in horror trying to save as many people as possible growing giant in size but they were getting too heavy and she wasn't able to grow much more.
"Hang on Klunk!" Mikey shouted jumping on his back and making a bunch of chains that appeared in the air that grabbed everyone else including Tiger Claw and Krysta who almost fell all the way in as Casey was holding on tightly to Klunk watching in awe.
"MASTER LET ME END IT ALLL!" Ho-Chan shouted flying forward grabbing the cloak of the Gothano only to see words in his mind making his blood freeze in horror.
"No, you're not the one…."
Instantly the Gothano blasted Ho-Chan with a burst of Darkness before flying off as the Wizard Yokai screamed and fell into his own portal to the Netherworld which finally closed with him inside as Klunk landed with Mikey placing everyone down gently.

Within a few hours everyone woke up, including Bianca and her son who they had freed. Everyone began confusedly muttering to each other and amongst themselves. Everyone else watching from the shadows.
"Are you really going after that thing?" Augustus asked.
"We have too the world depends on it." Casey explained. "Can you handle things here."
"I will do what I can, but I don't know how I can explain this whole situation." Augustus replied.
"We'll swing by some people who can help in a bit. We have to give them the Heart of Tengu anyway." Krysta told him glancing back at the crystal back in the container Casey first had it in. "But we should probably go." Krysta sighed. She looked out to see Bianca hugging her son.
"You don't even want to talk to them?" Mikey asked her worriedly.
"It's for the best I stay in their past." She said as they went to leave.
"WAIT!" shouted Bianca with her son hot on her heels. She gasped seeing Krysta in the light her white fur and fox form full exposed as Krysta looked at her. Bianca looked into Krysta's eyes and began to tear up.
"Are you….could you possibly be?" Bianca asked worriedly.
Krysta nodded. "I…..I'm sorry you have to-"
"Did they do this too you!? The Tiranno family I mean?" Bianca asked.
"Yes." Krysta replied. "And it's permanent. But….I'm doing fine please don't worry." She said with a smile.
Bianca smiled. "I don't know much about any details about this whole situation or what's been happening. But I do know my sister would be proud of you…and happy you have a home."
Krysta smiled, nodding tearfully, as they hugged. Mikey smiled brightly, cooing happily for her as Klunk watched with a big smile as well.
Casey smiled but looked worriedly into the sky. "It got away….what if we can't destroy it….what if we fail."
"We won't no matter what happens. We won't fail. Believe that." Tiger Claw said to him. Casey nodded to the sky.
"We can't fail…."
So there's been a theory in the ROTTMNT fandom that Casey might actually have a prosthetic arm with the grappling Hook as a function. Which I decided to include here.
To Be continued…
