Welcome To Part 3 Of 4 Of The Kamen Rider LL/2003 TMNT Crossover. To Anyone Who Missed Any Actual Action In The Previous Chapter, Don't Worry. The Next Chapter Is Going To Have Plenty Of Action, Enjoy. I Don't Own Anything. This Chapter Was Co-Written By Hallucigenia77

We see Sakura using her wind powers to fan out the huge fart cloud that Lynn Loud Jr let out a while ago. "There, all clear." Sakura said. "And I've added extra 'security'." Aurachnid said, pointing to Lori and Lynn, both of which have extra webbing on their butts. "That's good and all, but I think you guys need to check on Andros and Phixia, cause I think they've been knocked out by that fart cloud!" Mikey noted as he then pointed at Andros and Phixia, who were both laying down on the floor and unconscious due to the stench of Lynn's fart cloud causing them both pass out. "Nice going, Lynn." Lincoln said sarcastically. "Hey, it's not my fault they can't handle it." Lynn said."They did warn us that they both have very sensitive noses, so it's quite obvious that is what happens to them they smell something as bad you're flatulence!" Lisa pointed out.

Lori just grumbled at the fact that she had the same thing attached to her butt as Lynn. "Fortunately, I always carry smelling salts on hand." Toadus said. "Actually, Master Toadus, Duafe and I have a better idea!" Mpatapo said. "We give our respective love interests the kiss of life!" Duafe said as she and Mpatapo went up to Andros and Phixia, respectively. Then, Duafe planted a kiss of life on Andros's lips while Mpatapo did the same thing to Phixia. Then, after they were both given the kiss of life by their respective love interests, Andros and Phixia immediately started to wake up. They started coughing. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Andros asked Lynn angrily. "YEAH! YOUR FARTS STINK WORSE THAN A HONEY BADGER!" Phixia added in anger. Lynn just scoffed. "Yeah, Lynn's habit of eating a big amount of spicy foods, combined with very brash tomboyish behavior, makes her practically a walking stink bomb who has no qualms about letting it rip in public and doesn't really care if other people dislike it!" Lincoln explained. "Pfft! Well I say that you guys are a bunch of wimps for not being able to handle it!" Lynn smugly remark. "Oh, is that so?" Andros said. "Well, here's what we're going to say to you!" Phixia said. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO US AGAIN! NOT EVER!" Andros and Phixia both yelled in anger, causing Lynn to actually become scared of the twin sphinxes to the point of shivering in fright. "Whoa! Way to scare her into submission, you two!" Lincoln said. "Thank You!" Andros and Phixia replied. "Okay, you guys were saying about how you found the Ley Line Nodes under the butcher shop?" Sakura asked.

"Right." Leo said. "As soon as Ralph and I found the Keystone at the backalley Manny's Meats, we were about to go near it, when suddenly, a Keystone Warden showed up to stop us!" Mikey explained. "You see, the Keystone Wardens, in general, were a group of elemental constructs that were summoned by the Tengu Shredder's Mystics as a means of preventing us from activating the keystones! Each warden was able to manipulate a natural element: Fire, Wind, and Water! In the case of the one that Mikey and I faced off against, it was the Wind Warden!" Raph explained. "At least you got something that could make the smell better, as long as you stayed upwind of it." Sakura joked. "Okay, Now That's a Good One, Sakura!" Mikey applauded in approval to Sakura's joke. "Anyway..." Leo began. "As soon as Ralph and Mikey discovered their keystone and faced off against the Wind Warden, Karai, the Ancient One, and I had arrived at the Statue of Liberty and then found the keystone that the ground near it! Of course, almost immediately, the Fire Warden rose up from waters and then attacked us with its fire abilities!" Leo explained. "Of course." Lisa said.

"And while that was happening, Master Splinter and I had arrived at the United Nations Building and found the keystone outside there, disguised as a small pillar connected by chains to other pillars! Then, once we had found it, the Water Warden came up from behind and then threw a car right at us! Fortunately, we had managed to avoid getting hit by simply dodging out of the way!" Donnie explained. "That had to be a scary sight." Lincoln said. "Indeed! Each one of our teams had difficulty in fighting those elemental constructs, since they were relentless in their attacks!" Donnie explained. "Fortunately, they all share a common weak point, a dragon-foot shaped furnace in the center of their bodies!" Leo explained. "Oh, kind of like an Animarius' Soul Core!" Sakura realized, pointing out the medallions on the Animarius allies' shoulders. "Right! And, what exactly is a Soul Core, to be precise?" Mikey asked out of curiosity. "Our very soul. If a Soul Core is destroyed, the Animarius in question is destroyed as well, and we're reverted to a Soul Core and can only be revived via a trip to the tree of life. However, if the Core is destroyed while not attached to our bodies, there' nothing anyone can do to revive us." Toadus explained.

"Simply put, when that happens, we start to dissipate into particles of light and then we, quite literally, vanish from existence! In other words, it would be considered a permanent death to us!" Gorf explained, much to the shock of the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter. "That's quite the horrifying thought!" Mikey said. "It's even more terrifying watching it." Lincoln said, looking at Sakura. "He was impersonating my brother, what'd you expect?" Sakura asked. "Do I even want to know?" Leo asked. "Not really, no." Lincoln said. "Let's just say that, it was a Mimic Octopus Animarius that impersonated Sakura's late brother, Kenta, and, well, Sakura was beyond furious when found out about it!" Lisa explained. "Can you blame me?! Especially since it was the day before mine and my Oniichan's shared birthday!" Sakura said.

"Long story short, Sakura was born on her brother's 5th birthday!" Lincoln explained. "And he always called me his favorite birthday present!" Sakura beamed. "Also, that very incident that we've just mentioned happened on her 13th birthday!" Lisa explained. "I think we get it." Donnie said. "Right, sorry, you were saying about the furnaces?" Lincoln asked. "Right! As soon as we learned about the furnaces being the Keystone Wardens' weak points, we were able to use that to our advantage! First, I used Byakko to completely send an energy slash at the Water Warden's center point, causing it to explode!" Donnie explained. "Then, Raph and I double teamed the Wind Warden! First, I used Inazuma to tear off the Wind Warden's arm while Raph finished it off by using Banrai to slice right through its center point, causing it too to explode!" Mikey explained. "Finally, I used Gunshin to blast an energy wave straight into the Fire Warden's furnace, causing it to overload and fall into the water before exploding!" Leo explained. "That's awesome!" Lincoln said.

"After we defeated the Keystone Wardens, we knew we had no time to waste!" Raph explained. "First, I focused my chi and then used Gunjin to channel my energy into the keystone at the Statue of Liberty!" Leo explained. "Next, I did the same thing that Leo did and then used Byakko to channel my energy into the keystone at the United Nations Building!" Donnie explained. "Finally, Raph and I did the same thing that Leo and Donnie did and then we used Banrai and Inazuma to channel both of our energies into the keystone at Manny's Meats!" Mikey explained. "That caused each one of the keystones to release a huge white energy wave that connected over the top center of the Tengu Shredder's dark magic wave and then push it back! It also caused the transformation of New York City to reversed and changed the city back to normal!" Raph explained, much to everyone's delight. "Phew! I was worried for a moment there!" Sakura said. "Unfortunately, the Tengu Shredder caught on to our plan and decided to take matters into his own hands! Then, he transformed into his dragon form and used his dark energy to completely undo our efforts, causing us to be pushed back from our respective keystones! After that, the Tengu Shredder had succeeded in completely transforming New York City into his own evil, chaotic, demon-infested citadel!" Leo explained, much to the shock and chagrin of everyone else.

"And there it is." Sakura said. "Okay, it's official, now! That Tengu Shredder had just given darkness a very bad name!" Lucy angrily commented. "You ain't seen nothing yet! Wait until we tell you about our encounters with a guy named Sh'Okanabo!" Leo said. "Who?" Lucy asked in confusion. "We'll get to that in a minute, but for now..." Donnie said. "Right! After the Tengu Shredder had thwarted our plan against him, we had no other choice but to regroup back to our old lair for a new plan!" Leo explained. "First, after destroying some Shredder-controlled Stone-Oni that were attacking Bishop's new headquarters, I left behind a Shell Cell for Bishop to pick up, so that I would call him and his troops over!" Donnie explained. "Then, I went to the Purple Dragons home and knocked out a guard before leaving behind a Shell Cell for Hun to pick up, so that he and the rest of the Purple Dragons would be called over!" Raph explained. "Finally, I used my Turtle Titan signal to call the Justice Force over to our location!" Mikey explained. "Then, after scouting the Tengu Shredder's palace, I ran into four individuals, who we all thought that had died: Faraji, Adam, Joi, and Tora!" Leo explained. "They were able to survive?!" Sakura asked in glee. "And the Tribunal as it turns out! We're still not sure how though." Mikey said.

"Of course, we didn't see the Tribunal until after the defeat of the Tengu Shredder, but we'll get that later!" Raph explained. "Anyway, after us Turtles had a reunion with our Acolyte friends at our old base, Leo gave Gunjin back to Faraji, since he was the true owner of that sword to begin with!" Mikey explained. "Then, Bishop, Baxter Stockman, and the commandos arrived at our old lair, followed by Hun and the Purple Dragons! We invited them there, because, despite them being our enemies, we need all the help we can get, since the Tengu Shredder's plans for world conquest would effect their lives as well as ours!" Donnie explained. "Makes sense. Desperate times call for desperate measures, after all." Lincoln surmised. "After our respective enemies asked what's to stop them from attacking us, Justice Force, after arriving at our old lair, answered that they would deal them if they tried! Then, after I had explained to everyone about the Tengu Shredder is doing, I then told them that it doesn't matter if we're friends or enemies and that we were all in our fight against the Tengu Shredder together! At first, Hun wasn't convinced, but after I had explained that those who worked for the Utrom Shredder weren't welcome in the Tengu Shredder's world order and after Karai told him that she had scars to prove it, Hun was immediately convinced!" Leo explained.

"That must have been a real eye opener for Hun!" Sakura said. "Indeed!" Said Leo. "Then, the Ancient One and I explained to everyone that we had discovered that since Karai had shared The Shredder's mantle, she had the latent psychic ability to lower the Tengu Shredder's defenses through a shared link, which was something that we can use to our advantage! We then explained that our new plan: First, we would charge towards the Tengu Shredder's palace and take on his army of demons and undead warriors, courtesy of Dr. Chaplin's newly upgraded Mystic Tech Weapons! The next step was to defeat the Tengu Shredder's Mystics and then take on the Tengu Shredder himself, so we can defeat him by separating his helmet and gauntlet from his body while Karai would help us by meditating and use her link to drain the Tengu Shredder's dark energy into her own body in order to weaken him enough for him to be defeated!" Splinter explained. "That's just plum crazy!" Lisa said.

"True! But it was the only shot we had!" Donnie explained. "Anyway, after the explanation, we immediately set our plan into motion! First, while April and Casey stayed behind to look after our lair, Us Turtles, Master Splinter, the Ancient One, our Acolyte friends, the Justice Force, the Purple Dragons, and Bishop and his commandos, along with Stockman who was in a heavily armored tank-like mech suit, had all joined up in front of the Tengu Shredder's palace and then cut right through his evil army!" Mikey explained. "Then, after my brothers and I, along with Master Splinter, the Ancient One, our Acolyte friends, and Karai, had managed to get inside while everyone else was fighting the evil army, we immediately took on the Mystics, with Mikey and Adam destroying the Earth Mystic, Raph and Joi destroying the Fire Mystic, Donnie and Tora destroying the Water Mystic, and Faraji and I destroying the Wind Mystic! Finally, the Metal Mystic was destroyed by Karai herself after she cut him down with her Mystic Tech Sword!" Leo explained. "Hopefully for good this time." Aurachnid grumbled.

"Fortunately, Yes, the Tengu Shredder's Mystics were all permanently destroyed, since they haven't been revived since then!" Donnie confirmed. "Unfortunately, the true battle was only just beginning." Leo informed them. "As soon we defeated the Mystics, the Tengu Shredder himself actually allowed us to enter his throne room, since he was expecting us to begin with!" Raph explained. "Arrogance. A classic villain trope." Lincoln said with a roll of his eyes. "Anyway, before the Tengu Shredder could attack us, us Turtles and our Acolyte friends focused our chi and then sent out eight energy waves at him! While we were doing so, Karai, with some help from Master Splinter and the Ancient One, went into a meditative pose and used her link with the Tengu Shredder to drain his dark power and absorb it into herself! As the Tengu Shredder pushed our energy waves aside, he started feel weakened as his power was drained by Karai. Then, Hun, Bishop, Stockman, Silver Sentry, and Dr. Chaplin all rushed into the throne room to witness the Tengu Shredder's power being drained away until he fell down to the floor unconscious! But, as the Tengu Shredder was rendered unconscious, Hun kicked him to make sure that he was dead! Unfortunately, that caused the Tengu Shredder to wake up and then he threw Hun to a wall! Afterwards, Silver Sentry tried to fight the Tengu Shredder, but even his super strength wasn't enough as he was soon tossed into the air by the Tengu Shredder without any effort! Finally, the Tengu Shredder then transported Splinter, the Ancient One, our Acolyte friends, and us Turtles outside! Then, as soon as us Turtles and our Acolyte friends had got back to our senses, we were then confronted by the Tengu Shredder, who was riding on a demonic horse, armed with a trident, and prepared to kill us!" Mikey explained.

"Can this guy get more terrifying?!" Leni asked in horror. "We all decided to stand our ground and attack him in order to separate him from his helmet and gauntlet! Unfortunately, inspire of our efforts, the Tengu Shredder was able to overpower all of us until we all fell to the ground unconscious!" Leo explained, much to everyone's horror. "Apparently he can!" Leni said in horror following her previous statement. That part of the story frightened Lola so much, that she involuntarily peed herself. "I'm afraid I'm going to need a change of clothes immediately, because I've just peed myself out of fright!" Lola announced while blushing in embarrassment. "She can borrow some of mine. O bachan, if you would?" Sakura said. "Of course! I'll be glad to, Sakura-chan! I'll give her some your old clothes from when you were seven years old!" Mrs. Hoseki answered. "Arigato, O bachan!" Said Sakura. "Oh! And Aurachnid, will you please bring Lola-chan down, cause I think she needs to be freed from her punishment in order to get changed!" She asked Aurachnid. "On it." Aurachnid said, lowering Lola down to Mrs. Hoseki. Then Mrs. Hoseki brought out some scissors to cut Lola out of the spider silk. That's when everyone saw a big wet stain on Lola's dress.

"SPEAK OF THIS TO ANYONE AND YOU'LL FACE MY WRATH!" Lola threatened, making her family and Clyde cringe in horror. "I've seen her wrath, trust me. It ain't pretty." Lincoln informed everyone else as Mrs. Hoseki led Lola to the elevator. "Oh, don't worry! We believe ya! I was actually on the receiving end of her wrath, a while ago!" Raph noted. Lincoln chuckled at that. "Actually that was an 8 on the Lola anger scale, which goes from 10 to 1, 10 being the lowest, 1 being the highest, that's how bad it is." He informed the Red mask wearing turtle. "Whoa! I didn't realize that your sister has a scale for her own anger!" Raph replied. "You should just be glad you only had to deal with the lower end of the scale. She gets scarier on the 5-1 range." Lincoln said. "Anyway, you were saying?" He asked.

"Right, of course!" Said Raph. "When I was outside, I saw flash of light and heard an explosion! Fearing the worst, I then rushed over to see that our Acolyte allies were fallen to the ground and unconscious! Then I looked around and saw, to my own horror, that my sons were all on the ground and really thought that they had died at the hands of the Tengu Shredder, just like in my own nightmare! Then, I felt someone pat my shoulder and turned around to see the Ancient One, who tried to consol me! But then, the Ancient One was immediately struck in the back by a blast of the Tengu Shredder's dark magic, right he too fell to the ground! After that, I turned around to see the Tengu Shredder on his demon horse with his trident in hand as he then told me that I was next!" Splinter explained. *GULP!* Everyone gulped in terror. "However, as the Tengu Shredder was about to attack me, something miraculous happened! The spirit of Hamato Yoshi had manifested from the combined energies of my sons' medallions! Yoshi snatched the Tengu Shredder's Trident, destroyed his demon horse, and then slashed him with his own weapon, which caused his own precious energy to leak from his armor!" Splinter explained. "You saw an actual spirit? And it interacted with the physical plane?! Lucky." Lucy said.

"Um, Lucy, aren't you forgetting about the times that Master Toadus had summoned the spirits of Sakura's parents and older brother as well as the spirits of Aya's mother and older sister?" Lincoln asked. "You know what I mean." Lucy said. "Eh, you know what, doesn't matter. Continue." Lincoln said. "This guy is determined, that's for sure." Clyde said. "Aren't they all?" Lincoln asked rhetorically. "After that, us Turtles also transformed into dragons and battled against him! We put up a good fight, but the Tengu Shredder was proven to be too strong! But then, Karai began to sap Shredder's energy again, so he went to destroy her. Fortunately, we struck back as Shredder slowly got weak, and reverted to his human form! After he was weakened, we then tossed him around and separated him from both his gauntlet, which was crushed in my mouth, and his helmet, which was stomped underfoot by Leo! Out of despartion, the TenguShredder tried to charge against us, only to be body-slammed by Donnie! Then, after us Turtles returned to our normal forms, our acolyte amulets had sent out four golden beams of energy and shattered, causing Yoshi's spirit to manifest once again! As the Tengu Shredder stood back up one last time, Hamato Yoshi went forth and sliced the Shredder in half with his sword!" Mikey explained. "In addition to the Shredder's physical form being destroyed, his demon essence was destroyed as well because Yoshi was summoned as a completely astral manifestation, a full projection of purity from the astral plane that could eradicate demonic essences! Therefore, the one true Shredder was utterly vanquished forever! Of course, we believe that Karai still has the dark energy she siphoned from the Tengu Shredder inside herself, though, fortunately, she didn't seem to suffer any negative effects from it!" Donnie explained. "After delivering the final blow against the Tengu Shredder, my master Hamato Yoshi exchanged a brief and moving greeting with myself before he then disappeared back into the afterlife!" Splinter explained.

"Wow, now that would make a good movie." Lincoln said. "Afterwards, we learned that the Tribunal was as earlier stated, still alive." Leo said. "Then, they explained that by causality, and by not helping the Utroms, it created Splinter and us Turtles! Of course, they also silently knew that the Utrom Shredder was just as evil the Tengu Shredder, as it did pain them to not to help Hamato Yoshi when he needed them! Then, they told us that, since their duty was done, they were prepared to "move on" and invited the Ancient One, who's still alive, to join them, to which he delightfully accepted! Afterwards, the Ninja Tribunal and the Ancient One flew off to sky and traveled to who knows where! As for the fate of our Acolyte friends, they made it out alive too! So, we decided to invite them over to our lair for a celebration feast, while Karai and Dr. Chaplin simply went their own ways! Another bright thing was that Karai had actually given up her vendetta against us!" Mikey explained. "That was sweet." Sakura said. "But the action wasn't over yet. Now let's tell you about the time we spent a year in the future!" Donnie said, surprising everyone.

Meanwhile, At The Animarius Castle...

As King Draco and his generals stood in front of the tree of life, Ophiucus placed the recently created Soul Cores into the fruit. As soon as that was done, the eight fruits swelled up and then burst open to reveal eight new prehistoric turtle-themed Animarius soldiers, all with the symbol for the Reptile Army on their left shoulders! The first one was a male humanoid Proganochelys, who was wielding a seven-branched sword in his right hand. The second one was a female humanoid Archelon with a somewhat feminine body, who was weilding a double-bladed longbow in her left hand and carrying a quiver of arrows on her back. The third one was a male humanoid Stupendemys with large anterolateral horns on the upper front part of his shell and was wielding a pair of gauntlets shaped like his own shell, complete with two sharp horn on each gauntlet. The fourth one was a male humanoid Carbonemys, who was wielding a large war hammer in his hands that was shaped like his own shell. The fifth one was a male humanoid Meiolania, who was weilding a large spiked lance in each of his hands. The sixth one was male humanoid Niolania, who was wielding a nine-section chain whip with spikes on each rod. The seventh one was a male humanoid Warkalania, who was weilding a pair of spiked tonfas in his hands. Finally, the eighth one was a male humanoid Ninjemys, who was wielding a pair of spiked chakrams, similar to those of Axel/Lea from the "Kingdom Hearts" series, in his hands. "I'm Proganochomp, and I'm here to serve!" The first prehistoric turtle announced. "You may call me, Archelona!" Said the second prehistoric turtle. "The name's Stupendishell, and I'm ready for action!" Said the third prehistoric turtle. "My name is Carbonemesis, and I shall crush my opponents!" Said the fourth prehistoric turtle. "I'm Meiolancer! Armed for combat!" Said the fifth prehistoric turtle. "Niolasher is my name and defeating my enemies is my game!" Said the sixth prehistoric turtle. "Warkarnage here! Eager for destruction!" Said the seventh prehistoric turtle. "The name's Ninjemystorm! Got it memorized?!" Said the eighth prehistoric turtle. When King Draco saw the eight prehistoric turtle Animarius, he was more than pleased. "This is perfect!" King Draco said. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, prepare to meet, The Terror Turtles!" King Draco shouted, laughing maniacally.

Meanwhile, With The Riders...

"The future?" Lincoln asked. "It all started one seemingly normal day in our lair. Raph and Mikey were arguing over what to watch on TV." Leo explained. "I know how that feels." Lincoln said, looking up to his still tied up sisters. "It's true! We do often fight over who gets the remote and what television show to watch!" Luna added in slight embarrassment. "Anyway, Donnie, myself, and even Master Splinter got in on the action, but Splinter got the better hand saying his soap operas were on in a few minutes that Mikey wanted to spend watching his show and got the remote, but when he pushed the button, we were enveloped in a bright light!" Leo explained. "Then, when the burst of light had dissipated, we all found out that our weapons and clothing were gone and we were in a dilapidated, run-down version of our lair!" Raph explained. The girls cringed at the thought of Master Splinter without his robes. "We decided to head up top to see if anything else had changed, and when we looked out of a manhole cover, we discovered that New York had become this futuristic metropolis with all kinds of beings, human and alien passing each other without so much as batting an eyelash!" Leo said.

"A futuristic metropolis version of New York City?! This is like a dream come true for geniuses like myself!" Lisa exclaimed in amazement. "We weren't sure what to make of it ourselves at first, then we saw some Triceratons driving what appeared to be a hovering truck! I thought they were up to no good, so I snuck onto the truck, only to discover they were actually delivering holographic newspapers!" Mikey said. That took almost everyone by surprise. "I know, right?!" Mikey asked. "Unfortunately, the Triceratons didn't notice Mikey being busy looking at the video game section of one of the papers, so they locked him in the truck and sped off!" Raph said, smacking Mikey upside the head for what was about to happen in the story. "Why did you just smack your brother upside the head, Raphael-san?" Asked Shintomaru. "Because thanks to his stupidity, we ended up in a wild chase that involved future cops, and a robot in a limousine!" Raph explained.

"Not only that, but during that chase, we had entered a high gravity zone with low oxygen! That caused us all to gasp for air and fight just to stand up in that very sector of the city! Not to mention the fact that when we tried to rescue Mikey, he fell into the streets while we accidentally caused a futuristic car crash in the process!" Donnie explained. This caused the riders and everyone who wasn't tied up to facepalm. "Yeah, that last part was definitely not my finest moment!" Raph said in embarrassment. "Unfortunately for us, the crash caught the attention of Constable Biggles and his peacekeepers, the future versions of the police we told you about." Leo said. "His full title was Chief Constable Aloysius Biggles and he was this British robot who leads the Peacekeepers!" Donnie explained. " Apparently, whenever he makes an appearance, he often says in a complete British "Ello, Ello, Ello! What's all this then?!"!" He added while he also mimicked Constable Biggles's usual catchphrase and speech, much to everyone's laughter.

"You know, Luna and I happen to have good British accents ourselves!" Lynn Sr noted. "Jolly good gov'nr!" Luna said in her accent. "Cheerio! Pip-pip and all that rut!" Lynn Sr added his own accent. "Whoa! Nice one!" Said Mikey. "Luna and her Pops aren't the only ones! I practically speak like this all the time, mate!" Tabby noted. "Funny. But anyway, when Biggles saw what had happened, he wasn't happy, to say the least." Donnie explained. "He mistook us for unregistered aliens and was planning to arrest us! Fortunately, we used whatever strength we had to silently escape from his presence while his back was turned!" Leo explained. "Yikes!" Lincoln said.

"After we made our escape by climbing down a support beam, we were all exhausted from our adventure and were barely able to move! Then, all of a sudden, a large flying limousine arrived and then the driver told us to get inside if we want to live! Seeing that there was no other alternatives, we all then climbed arduously into the stretch limo, which escaped unnoticed by the pursuing police! Inside the car, we were all greeted by the driver, who was a high-tech, sophisticated, well-mannered robot named Serling! He then gave us all high-tech gear, which all consisted of an Enviro Pack, Graviton Regulator and Wrist Translator, so they can breathe, adjust to different gravities, and translate alien languages!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's amazement, especially Lisa's. "So much technology..." She said, fidgeting. "Uh oh. I think she's having an overload!" Lincoln noticed. "I've got it." Sakura said, using her water powers to splash Lisa in the face, snapping her out of her overload. "Thanks, Sakura, I needed that!" Lisa remarked."Any time, Lisa-chan!" Sakura said. "So, anyway. Serling then took us to this huge skyscraper in the middle of the city, straight to the penthouse." Donnie explained.

"There, we met Sering's master, a young teen named Cody Jones, who then showed us his shrine that was, strangely enough, dedicated to us! That shrine contained old newspaper clippings, our old gear, various vehicles, an empty TCRI ooze container, an Utrom exoskeleton, a dormant Fugitoid, Baxter Stockman's robotic body and Foot Clan paraphernalia that included the Utrom Shredder's suit of armor! Cody then stood in front of a podium holding Casey Jones' hockey mask and golf bag and explained to us that the stuff in the shrine was his collection, left behind by his great-grandparents, April O'Neil and Casey Jones! He was also the extremely rich owner of O'Neil Tech, and heir to the Jones/O'Neil fortune! Of course, he also told us that he had accidentally brought us to New York City in the year 2105, via something called the Time Window! You see, the Time Window was a device developed by Cody Jones in order to view the events of his great-grandparents' lives, but he accidentally brought us into the year 2105, causing the Time Window to be damaged in the process! In other words, we were all practically stuck in the future!" Leo explained. "Woah, freaky!" Aurachnid said. "Cody had promised us that he would find a way to fix the time window and I said I would help, but that's when he noticed Mikey wasn't with us." Donnie said. "And where was I you ask?" Mike asked.

"Well, after Raph had failed to rescue me, I was still stuck in the delivery truck and I was having difficulty breathing and getting up, due to the low oxygen levels and intense gravity! Eventually, I had accidentally found my way out of the delivery truck and onto the highway! Specifically, on the top of a moving vehicle before I was then launched towards a bus, which then knocked me off of it with windshield wipers, causing me to fall down a long distance until I finally landed in a dumpster in a low level alleyway! And let me tell you, it really, really hurt!" Mikey explained. "Oooooooooooh!" Everyone winced. "But then, what I initially thought to be a friendly face in an electric blue cloak approached me and pointed out the atmosphere and gravity regulator thingies as well as the translator, saying I needed some." Mikey explained. "After that, the stranger motioned me to follow him into the alley, which I did, though with difficulty due the high gravity and thin oxygen!" Mikey explained. "Of course." Lisa said.

"Meanwhile, Cody and I figured out a way to track Mikey, simply tracking down the leftover tachyon energy particles that were stuck on us when we traveled through time! After that, Cody took us over to a giant hangar and introduced us to the Hovershell, which was a futuristic turtle-themed flying vehicle that Cody had made from one of my future designs! We all then piled into the vehicle and then took off! Though, as we did, Cody explained that he didn't have much practice with the Hovershell, which was very apparent by his poor piloting skills!" Donnie explained. Lisa got an interested look on her face. "You wouldn't happen to have a blueprint for this 'Hovershell', would you?" She asked Donnie. "Now that you've mentioned it, I was able to make a blueprint for the Hovershell sometime after we got back from the future! Though, I don't have it on my person, since the last I saw it, it got sucked into the portal that brought us into this dimension! No thanks to Mikey, of course!" Donnie answered while giving a stern glare at Mikey.

"Dang it." Lisa said. "Anyway, while they were searching for me, I was following the stranger, not knowing any better." Mikey started explaining."Well, it's not a place you can call home, pinchy." Luan told the crab as he pulled him out. "But then, all of a sudden, a bunch of hands emerged from the street and grabbed my ankles as a group of men, all dressed the same as the stranger, materialized from thin air! Then, they all pushed me towards a truck, which then opened its door to reveal a group of aliens imprisoned there! That's when I had figured out that stranger and the other cloaked men were in fact planning to sell me as a slave, along with the imprisoned aliens! Not only that, but had insulted their leader, Jammerhead, who, after revealing that he and his cloaked friends were called the Street Phantoms, was not happy with my disrespect towards him!" Mikey explained. "Yikes!" Lincoln said. "You have no idea!" Mikey said. "The fact that these Street Phantoms, as you call them, were about throw you into slave labor is definitely what I like to call barbaric!" Lisa noted.

"You haven't heard anything yet. Our year in the future was full of encounters with whack-jobs!" Raph said. "Anyway, just as the Street Phantoms were about to grab me, my bros and Master Splinter arrived in the nick of time!" Mikey explained. "While Cody remained on board the Hovershell, Leo, Donnie, Splinter and I had hit the street to save Mikey. As a fight had ensued, Serling arrived to give Mikey the same gear he gave the rest of us! Then joined the rest of us in battle! Of course, the fight was particularly difficult because the Phantoms can literally make themselves as intangible as ghosts! Fortunately, Splinter explained to us that rather than going on the offensive and literally grasping at thin air, we must go on defense until our foes become corporeal. At that instant, we must attack! Using that tactic, we all managed to defeat most of the Phantoms! Their leader, Jammerhead, tried to sneak-attack us from behind, but Cody spotted the villain and smashed into him with some skillful piloting of the Hovershell! Apparently, the kid was a quick study! Of course, Jammerhead recovered and vowed vengeance upon us before disappearing into a wall! We all then flew off in the Hover Shell just as Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers arrived at the scene! Fortunately, they decided not to chase after us, since Constable Biggles had discovered the fallen Street Phantoms and the truck of imprisoned aliens and decided to take credit for capturing the criminals!" Raph explained.

"The pain of being someone everyone thinks doesn't exist." Lincoln said. "So true, Lincoln! So true!" Mikey replied. "Of course, the bright thing about it was that we had never gotten arrested!" Donnie pointed out. "Anyway, afterwards, we went back to Cody's apartment and made ourselves at home. Some more than others." Splinter said, looking at his sons. "Yeah, as soon as Mikey found the remote, he and Raph started to fight over what show to watch, just like before we were thrown into the future!" Leo explained. "Of course." Lincoln said with a roll of his eyes. "So, what did you guys do next?" Clyde asked. "Well, the next morning, we were ninja training in the middle of Cody's luxurious sitting room, much to Serling's dismay, since we were pretty much wrecking the place in the process!" Donnie explained.

This caused the Louds to chuckle. "What? What's so funny?" Raph asked in confusion. "We're just trying to imagine a robot being angry." Lincoln said. "Well, he was more frustrated than angry, but I see what you mean!" Donnie noted. "Anyway, when Cody arrived and saw us training, Serling asked his master to give him the word to throw us out! But instead, Cody simply exclaimed "Do it again!" out of excitement! Needless to say, Serling's circuits were exasperated when he heard that!" He explained. "Can you blame him?" Lisa asked. "Anyway, later that day, we 'met', and of course, by met I mean observed from the shadows, a man named Darius Dunn." Donnie said. "Darius was Cody's uncle, legal guardian, and interim CEO of O'Neil tech until Cody was ready to take the title." Leo explained. "Of course, we 'met' Darius Dunn almost a few minutes after Cody attempted to recreate the accident the brought us to the future, only for the Time Window to quite literally blow up in our faces!" Mikey explained.

"I know how that feels." Lisa said. "So do we!" Her sisters and parents said with a glare. "Anyway, while we were observing from the shadows, Darius then gave Cody a lecture on how he must be careful and stay in his apartment because nefarious forces would love to get their hands on the heir to the O'Neil Tech fortune! After Darius had left, us Turtles and Cody had decided to sneak to O'Neil Tech to get parts for the Time Window, mostly because Darius said that he would be out of his office for the day! Then, we all boarded the Hovershell and flew off to collect parts for the machine!" Mikey explained. "Little did we know at the time, Darius himself was the kind of person he was supposedly 'protecting' Cody from." Leo said, instilling a sense of dread in everyone. "Wait a minute, are you saying that Darius Dunn is actually an evil uncle, like Scar from that old movie "The Lion King"?!" Clyde asked in dread. "That's exactly what I'm saying. Darius wanted complete control of O'Neil Tech for himself, and would do anything to accomplish it!" Leo explained.

"And, once he found out about our existence and Cody's disobedience, the first thing he did was to send out four avian humanoid warriors called the Inuwashi Gunjin to get rid of us!" Donnie explained. "Inuwashi Gunshin? Was that Japanese for something?" Asked Liam asked in confusion. "while the words Inu and Washi are Japanese words for "Dog" and "Eagle", respectively, the word Inuwashi is actually the Japanese name for the Golden Eagle! As for Gunjin, it is actually the Japanese word for "soldier!", or in this case, "soldiers"!" Lisa explained. "What she said." Sakura and Shintomaru confirmed. "Right! Anyway, while the Hovershell continued its journey to the O'Neil Tech headquarters, one of the flying warriors attached a device to the vehicle! A few seconds later, the device powered on and caused the Hovershell to begin a free fall! As soon as the Hovershell falls, it suddenly took control of itself and was being steered by an outside source! That's Cody quickly activated a feature he installed in the vehicle, which separates the front section of the Hover Shell from the rear! Unfortunately, the front section wasn't meant to fly, so it immediately plummeted to the earth! Fortunately, no harm was done and the sturdy craft landed safely as a tank-like vehicle!" Raph explained. "Cool!" All the boys in the room said. "You bet it was cool!" Mikey said as the elevator descended, Mrs. Hoseki and Lola stepping off.

That's when everyone saw Lola wearing a red shirt with a pink skirt and white socks. She was also still wearing her own tiara, white pearl necklace, pink long gloves, and pink high heels. "Thanks for the loaner clothes, Sakura." Lola said, straightening her tiara. "Anytime, Lola-chan!" Sakura assured. "So, what did I miss?" Asked Lola. "They were just telling us about how they accidentally got sent to the future, encountered thugs named street phantoms, found refuge with Casey and April's great grandson, and were talking about how some winged thugs under the employment of Cody's Scar like uncle tried to make them crash on their way to the O'Neil tech building." Lincoln explained. "Oh! Yeah, and before all that, they told us about how the Tengu Shredder was permanently defeated!" He added, much to Lola's delight. "Thank goodness!" Lola said as her sisters started snickering. "Don't forget what I said! And the same goes for the rest of you!" Lola said.

"Okay! Okay! No need to go berserk on us!" Raph exclaimed. "Good." Lola said. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right, after we've traveled on tank-like vehicle, Cody, Leo, Raph, Mikey, and I had arrived at O'Neil Tech! That's when we met Starlee Hambrath, the intern of O'Neil Tech from the planet of Omatran, who was a friend and the eventual girlfriend of Cody and she was the same age as him! As for how she became an intern despite her age, she had stated that girls mature faster than boys and also because of the fact that Omatran girls have at least five times the brain capacity of their male counterparts!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's surprise. "I can attest to that part about girls maturing faster than boys. Although, with these girls, that may be the exception rather than the rule." Lisa joked. The sisters glared at Lisa for that comment. "HEY! That's not cool, Lis!" Luna shouted in annoyance. "You know I speak the truth." Lisa said. "Lisa does have a point! There are times when you all act very immaturely, especially you older sisters, who don't even act your age!" Lincoln pointed out. "Oh just shut up and let the giant turtles finish the story!" Lynn said. "My point exactly. Even Lily is more mature than you. And she's a toddler." Lisa joked.

The girls glared at Lisa again. "*SIGH!* Fine! Please continue!" Lisa said to avoid her sister's glares. "Right! As soon as we met Starlee, she introduced us to a machine called the Transcedental lathe! It was a device that was designed to create whatever the user thinks of, or as I had explained to my brothers, "it turns your thoughts into stuff!"!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's amazement, especially Lisa's. "The ability to turn thoughts into reality? Such technology would be groundbreaking!" She said. "It's even more amazing when you see it for yourself!" Donnie said. "Of course, before we could use it, the four Inuwashi Gunjin attacked. Unfortunately, without any weapons, we were all easily overpowered, and then the Gunjin kidnapped Cody! With Cody gone, Serling contacted us and then informs us that Cody can be traced via his enviropack! After realizing that would need help in the next skirmish with the Inuwashi Gunjin, Donnie suggests that we use the Transcendental Lathe to create weapons!" Raph explained. "Using the lathe, Donnie, Raph, and I made futuristic versions of my katanas, Donnie's staff, and Raph's Sais. But Mikey went a little overboard and created a mech suit named the Mikey-tron 6000. Starlee even said and I quote 'Overcompensating Much?' upon seeing it." Leo explained.

"I even predicted that things would end badly for Mikey, especially since that mech suit was rather cumbersome due to how big and heavy it was!" Donnie explained, much to Mikey's embarrassment. "Which is why the three of us always train with new weapons and powers." Lincoln said, pointing to the door that leads to the simulation chamber. "In case you're all wondering where that door leads to, it leads the simulation chamber, where we all train in order to get used to whatever new weapons and powers we get!" Sakura explained. "It's a holographic chamber that can simulate any environment and anybody." Sakura explained. "Impressive!" Donnie said. "Anyway, after Mikey built his suit, we immediately ran to try and find Cody." Leo started explaining. "Of course, Leo, Donnie and I used these new flying vehicles called Shell Speeders, which were like air borne motorcycles, while Mikey simply used his mech suit's rocket boots to fly!" Raph explained. "Cool!" Lincoln and Clyde said.

"Anyway, in case you're all wondering why the Inuwashi Gunjin kidnapped Cody in the first place, well, from what Cody told us, the Gunijin leader explained to Cody, who was bound at the Empire State Building, about how he and his fellow Gunjin came to be in their status of servants! Apparently, ages ago, the Gunijin were noble Avian warriors! But, as time wore on, their skills were no longer needed and they found themselves imprisoned by stasis generators and have been manipulated ever since! Then, after they were fed up with being commanded by Darius Dunn, they all decided that kidnapping Cody was the only way they saw to try to regain their freedom!" Leo explained. "Yikes!" Lincoln said. "Of course, they didn't say Darius' name, and we didn't find out his true nature until later, but still." Leo added.

"Of course, as the leader of the Inuwashi Gunjin finished his explanation, we came flying in and then we attacked. The initial combat went well and Mike's power armor performed beyond his expectations, but it had suddenly shorted out and then fell into pieces, leaving him weaponless!" Donnie explained. "Figured as much." Lisa said. That caused everyone to wince while Mikey was simply embarrassed from that memory. "Fortunately, Starlee had thought ahead and gifted Mikey with futuristic versions of his Nunchucks later that day." Donnie said. "Anyway, back at the battle, Leo was able to free Cody, but he was then grabbed by the Gunjin leader! Mikey came in and kicked the Avian, but that caused him to drop Cody in the process! Then, Cody began to take a long plummet towards the streets below! As Cody fell, I leapt back onto one of the Shell Speeders and flew after him. I then grabbed the boy, just before the Gunijin reach him! After that, I had returned Cody to the rooftop and the Gunijin renewed their attack! Fortunately, we got the upper hand and then Leo held his blades at the Avian leader's throat, demanding to know what they were up to! Unfortunately, Darius arrived just as the Gunijin leader was about to explain everything by activating the stasis generators, which encompassed the flying men in darts of painful electrical energy, preventing them from talking or moving! Leo was also caught in the field, so Darius "rescued" him just as capsules began form around the Avians! Dunn asked Cody if he saved the right one, and the boy was tricked into believing that his Uncle is on his side! Then, Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers arrived and all seems well, but us Turtles can tell that Darius was a shady character and vowed to keep our eyes on him!" Raph explained.

"I don't blame you. Such actions are way too good to be true." Toadus said. "Of course, Later that day, we were, once again, ninja training in Cody's sitting room! Mikey was pouting on the couch, since he was angry that his Mikeytron 6000 battle armor failed! Fortunately, Cody handed him a pair of energy-power nunchakus that Starlee made for him, since she figured his suit wouldn't work out. As Mikey excitedly tried out his new weapons, he accidentally knocked Serling's right eye out of its mooring, causing the robot to be blinded in one eye!" Donnie explained. "Serling must not have been happy about that!" Lincoln said with a chuckle. "No he was not!" Mikey said. "But, don't worry! Serling got repaired right away!" Donnie said. "Anyway, the next day, Leonardo had entered a small Medieval tavern full of little elves. Once he was inside, the angered elves drew short swords and closed in on him. Leonardo then leapt into action and gained the upper hand in the battle, but one of the elves blew on a horn and a huge rock troll stalked into the bar. Cody and I appeared in the background and young Jones was worried about Leonardo's safety! However, I had simply told the boy to watch and learn! Finally, Leonardo dodged attacks from the powerful monster and then cut down a chain, causing a huge chandelier to fall onto the troll and smash it into the floor. Having conquered all opponents, the scene flickered into where we actually were, in the middle of a holographic simulation room, standing over a defeated battle Bot! You see, what happened was actually the initial test of Cody-san's new invention, a holographic Turtle Dojo!" Splinter explained, much to everyone's amazement.

"Just like our simulation chamber!" Sakura said. "Yeah, quite a coincidence, isn't it?" Leo noted. "Anyway, after the simulation we just went about what we thought was going to be a normal day. Boy were we wrong." Donnie said. "Sometimes later, Cody showed the rest of us the new Turtle Dojo that he built for us, and explained that it was a high tech training facility with battle simulations and over 500 holographic background mode! While Raph wasn't impressed, Master Splinter prompted him to thank Cody for the work he made for us anyway! After that, Splinter then announced that as a measure of our gratitude, Leo will begin instructing Cody in ninjitsu. Cody leapt into the air with joy, expecting to learn combat moves! Leo then told him to sit down in lotus position, as their first lesson would be to meditate on the importance of the mind/body connection! Cody was disappointed by that development, but he tried to meditate anyway! Just then, a power surge hit our building, causing an alarming flux in the energy powering the dojo. That's when Cody and I decided to exit the Dojo in order to investigate the cause of it!" Donnie explained. "Little did we know, just what we were getting ourselves into!" He added.

"As soon as Donnie and Cody had left, the doors to the Turtle Dojo had slammed shut, causing the rest of us Turtles, plus Master Splinter, to be trapped inside of it!" Mikey explained. "Meanwhile, Cody and I had logged onto the building's security system and then discovered that a massive program was traveling through the computer array. Remarkably, there was nothing that we could do to shut down the rogue program or delete it! That's when Serling interjected and then connected himself to the system in effort to help, but he was immediately engulfed in red energy! Then, Serling immediately lost control of himself and began attacking us with a mop! Serling was able to communicate, but he couldn't control his actions!" Donnie explained. "A computer virus!" Lisa realized. "Yes, but as we ended up learning, this was no ordinary virus." Donnie explained.

"While Master Splinter, my bros, and I were trapped in the Turtle Dojo, a strange red energy appeared and then a maniacal face appeared! It then announced, in a female voice, that it was in control of the building and it would use us as prisoners in the dojo in order to get what it wants! With that, the energy being used the dojo's abilities to launch attacks on all of us! As a result, Master Splinter was hit by an electric prod that weakened him! Leo then rushed over to our Sensei's side, though fortunately Master Splinter wasn't seriously injured, but he would not be able to continue fighting!" Mikey explained. "A sentient Computer Virus?! That's even worse!" Lisa said. "As soon as Cody and I escaped from Serling, we raced over to the dojo to get help, only to discover that the others were locked inside and facing a menace of their own! Then, Serling arrived and then red energy had erupted into the air and the evil face appeared. The entity then introduces itself, or rather herself, as Viral and explained to us that her goal was to enter O'Neil Tech's central banks to steal the wealth and technology located within, but to do so, she needed Cody's passcodes! Obviously, Cody scoffed at the idea that he would give up that kind of information, but then Viral threatened that she would destroy Splinter and the others inside the dojo if she doesn't get the password!" Donnie explained.

"A sentient virus with an attitude? Okay, that's just plan nuts!" Lisa complained. "As soon as Viral made her threat, inside the dojo, Splinter and us Turtles found ourselves standing in an old west saloon simulation where we were attacked by anthropomorphic animals in wild west attire!" Mikey explained.

"Come to think of it, that setting looks like something out of that old Saturday morning cartoon called "Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa"! I don't suppose any of you guys ever heard of that old show, did ya?" Mikey added. "If it did exist in this world, it would have been before our time." Lisa explained. "Yeah! You're probably right about that! That show was made in the early 90's to begin with!" Mikey replied. "Anyway..." Leo said. "Back with Cody and I, we were, once again, fleeing from Viral, who was possessing Serling. She then chased us and eventually we both crashed through a window! Viral thought that we had fallen to our deaths, so she immediately headed back to the dojo! Outside, I had managed to puncture the building's exterior wall with my energy bo and let Cody cling onto me! Fortunately, Cody and I were right next to an air duct, so I then kicked it open and then we both reentered the facility! Once safely inside, I then came up with a plan! I had pointed out that Viral could only hack into computers via hardwire connection, not by wireless! So, when Cody and I shut down the power grid that the building is on, we would isolate Viral in the building! Once that was done, we could simply shut down the building's power and purge her from the entire system!" Donnie explained. "Something like that would be child's play for someone like me." Lisa pointed out. "We get it, you're incredibly smart, lighten up!" Raph complained.

"Back at the dojo, Viral had arrived and was expecting to find dead Turtles, but instead she discovered that we had defeated most of our opponents and playing cards with the some of the more friendlier individuals! Having been enraged by all of that, Viral attacked us!" Mikey explained. "Elsewhere, I had put my plan into action and, for five blocks around the building, the power systematically shuts down. With Viral isolated in Cody's penthouse, I had quickly shut down power in the building!" Donnie explained. "Back inside the Turtle Dojo, the holographic enemy crackled with energy, floated into the air, and then disappeared! After that, the dojo doors finally opened! Then, Cody and Donnie came inside to explain what they did! But, just as it seemed to be over, Viral tore through a wall and entered the room! Apparently, she had taken over the Dojo Battle Bot's body and, boy, she was angrier than ever!" Raph explained. "An evolving sentient virus with an attitude? Can this get any worse?!" Lisa asked in frustration.

"Apparently, as soon as she possessed the Battle Boy's body, Viral then morphed it into a thinner and much more feminine shape, complete with tentacles for hair and long razor-sharp clawed hands! Plus, she can easily shape-shift her limbs into whatever weapons she wants!" Mikey explained. The Louds all shuddered at the thought of the TMNT's electronic foe and her capabilities. "Of course, as Viral attacked us, we all ganged up on her! Apparently, we were pleased that she was then in a physical body that can take real damage! With nowhere else to upload to, Viral cannot escape our ninja onslaught! Upon getting herself in very damaged state, Viral had decided to make a run for the elevator! But, we all caught up with her and then kicked her down a deep elevator shaft!" Mikey explained. "Served her right!" Lola said. "Unfortunately, later in the morning, I had checked every inch of that elevator shaft and found nothing! That meant only thing, Viral was still alive and she had escaped to who knows where!" Raph explained, much to everyone's chagrin.

"As we later found out, Viral was actually working for a villain that would make The Shredder look like a B-Grade Villain." Leo said, shocking the group. "After a few more adventures, including Raph getting on the bad side of a former pro wrestler with three heads named Triple Threat and another encounter with Jammerhead, where Cody got to bust out a new battle suit called the 'Turtle-X' we ran into an old friend of ours. Bishop." Leo said, stunning the group. "It all started when at the penthouse when we had decided to go downtown to get Mikey some good old-fashioned junk food, since the future was all about eating healthy foods that we didn't like, such as moss-based products! Of course, Cody couldn't join us, because he had go to the quarterly board review meeting with his Uncle Darius! We then headed out and arrived in 'Old Manhattan' where we begin our search for food. Nearby was a hot dog stand, but it's offerings are nothing like the wieners of the past! Instead of beef, the hot dogs were made of a non-sentient alien creature called a rump beast and instead of cheese, it's covered in some sort of alien worm juice! Nonplussed by the alien ingredients, Mikey ordered a dozen of those things, much to our own disgust, and then we wandered off to investigate the city!" Donnie explained, causing everyone, except for Lana, to shout out "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!" out of disgust.

"Actually, it had a nice aftertaste." Mikey informed them, disgusting the sisters even further. "I've said it once and I'll say it again! Mikey, You Are One Sick Turtle!" Raph exclaimed in disgust. "Now that's a kind of hot dog I wouldn't mind eating, especially since I actually like to eat earthworms from time to time!" Lana commented, much to everyone's confusion, minus those of the Loud Sisters and Lincoln. "Yeah, Lana here really loves gross things, whether it be playing in the mud, diving through dumpsters, or even eat gross things that nobody would even dare to eat, such as earthworms or even organic trash!" Lincoln explained. "She's also the only one of us who will eat the disgusting pudding our Great Aunt Ruth serves us every time we visit her." Lincoln added, making the other sisters dry heave at the memory of that. "Did you have to mention that, Lincoln?!" Lola asked in disgust. "Who exactly is your Great Aunt Ruth?" Donnie asked. "My Aunt. Come on kids, she's not that bad!" Rita said as everyone, even Lynn Sr. and Lily glared at her.

"Are You Kidding Us, Mom?! Aunt Ruth's place is practically a health hazard zone to us! Her place has a lot of cats that don't seem to like us, a lot of moldy, disgusting puddings that were way past their expiration dates, and is always a complete mess! Not only that, but Great Aunt Ruth is lazy slob who makes us do gross and disgusting chores, such as making us clean up all of cats' litter boxes and even have us massage her own gross feet, one of which actually had one extra toe!" Lincoln loudly complained. The Turtles cringed at that. "Okay, we live in the sewers, and even I think that's just messed up!" Mikey said. "Yeah, no kidding! Our Great Aunt Ruth's place is so bad, that it even makes the sewers smell better by comparison!" Lincoln exclaimed. Rita looked at Lynn Sr., hoping for backup, only to see the same look on his face. "Et tu, Lynn?" She asked.

"Sorry, honey, but I fully agree with our kids! Your Aunt Ruth's Place is the Worst Place Ever!" Lynn Loud Sr. replied in agreement to his children. "Why do you think I'm always the first to volunteer to stay at home with Lily?!" He added. Then, Aya's eyes flashed as she then felt the auras of the Loud siblings and their father. Upon reading their memories of their Great Aunt Ruth, she was utterly disgusted. *Groan* "I'm sorry, Mrs. Loud, but I'm inclined to agree with them." She informed Rita. "But- Ah, who am I kidding I always hated visiting her growing up, but did so because she's family." Rita admitted. "About time, you realize how right we are about our Great Aunt Ruth!" Lynn Jr. replied. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Anyway, as I was saying..." Leo started.

"As soon as we wandered around the city, we were suddenly surrounded by a group of gun-toting robo-soldiers who all then trapped us in an alley! As we drew our weapons and prepared for a brawl, a mysterious figure emerged from behind the robots! It was none other than Agent Bishop! Then, Raph charged at Bishop and leapt right through him, revealing that he was actually a hologram! The man then explained that much has changed in the past 100 years and he had traded in his old ways of espionage and covert battle tactics for old-fashioned politics! Surprisingly, Bishop had become the president of the Pan-Galactic Alliance and his job wad to oversee the fair representation and peace-keeping of all races, human and alien, on planet Earth. As such, Bishop could not be seen taking sides because he must be perceived to be a totally neutral officer! Thus, he asked us if we would want to work for him!" Leo explained, much to everyone's surprise and confusion.

"From Xenophobic government official to head of a major council who's job is to keep peace between everyone. Quite the change in character." Lisa said, slightly impressed. "Yeah, to be honest, we all quite surprised by Bishop's change in character! In fact, we all didn't believe him at first!" Donnie explained. "It wasn't until we later saw him on TV and Cody told us all about it that we started taking him seriously." Leo added. "Anyway, what was it he wanted you guys to do for him?" Lincoln asked. "Apparently he wanted us Turtles to apprehend an intergalactic mercenary named Torban Zixx!" Mikey explained. "He was a notorious, almost legendary smuggler who made a name for himself by reliably sneaking sensitive goods throughout the galaxy. His specialty was illicit weapons systems." Leo explained. "Sounds like your typical bad guy." Lincoln said.

"Well, when we tried to find him, the only images of him were those of a figure wearing a cape and cloak! Fortunately, we figured where he was going to be! At a bar called Abroc's Abyss! When we had arrived at the bar, it was packed with aliens of different races! As we looked around, one large rotund bruiser was bragging about being Torbin Zixx but was laughed at by some smaller aliens! Enraged, the giant prepared to attack, but Leo intervened, grabbed the man's fist and offered to buy him a drink! Unfortunately, that only made the fat guy further enraged and then he attacked us! Fortunately, we were able to easily defeat him! Then, Leonardo held his blade to the fellow's throat and told him that we were going taking him in! However, that's when another guy in the same costume announced that he is actually Torbin Zixx as he drew his weapons! I then caught the real Zixx by surprise and knocked one of his pistols out of his hand! That made Torbin realize that he was outclassed and then he decided to make a break for it! I then chased him into an alley, but Zixx escaped by using a hologram. Basically, that was the beginning of my hatred towards holograms!" Raph explained.

"You should try dealing with the Neo-Lizardons, they're basically miniature Mecha Godzillas." Clyde said. "Oh, believe me, kid, holograms are much worse than those metal lizards! While you can touch and destroy a Neo-Lizardon, you definitely can't do the same thing with a hologram, since all you can do is simply pass right through it without even damaging it!" Raph retorted in anger and annoyance. "That sucks." Lincoln said. "You bet it does!" Raph said. "By the time we found Zixx again, he was on the rooftop of some random building! However, before we could act, Torbin dropped off the rooftop and escaped by landing on a racer vehicle he called using his wrist remote! Luckily, Donnie was able to toss a tracking device onto the speeder as it raced off! Where was Torbin Zixx going, you ask? To the Moonport, that's where!" Mikey explained. "What exactly is the Moonport?" Asked Sakura. "It's a special spaceport that people on Earth use to travel by spacecraft using the howitzer gravity field, allowing whatever spacecraft that was in it to be covered in a special field so they can be safely launched into space at incredible speeds and everything onboard survives the trip to the Moon!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's amazement, especially Lisa's.

"Such technology would revolutionize the travel industry!" Lisa said. "Of course, there's also a special security system called the Extra-Terran Defense Grid, which consists of multiple satellites stationed around the Earth that were designed to detect illegal or cloaked ships entering the Earth's atmosphere!" Donnie further explained. "And I take it Torbin had a way around all that?" Lincoln asked. "Yeah, well, actually, when we arrived at the Moonport, we all followed Torbin all the way into the cargo hold of a transport vehicle, in which Zixx had placed a mysterious package! Of course, As Torbin and us Turtles began to battle, the package had activated and revealed itself to be a bomb! Of course, this surprised Zixx the most, sin e he actually didn't know that his package was a bomb to begin with! Also, as us Turtles tried to figure out what to do, Torbin Zixx had escaped from the ship and headed straight back outside before the ship could even be launched!" Mikey explained. "A renowned smuggler not knowing that he was carrying a bomb? That's not a good sign!" Lisa pointed out.

"Indeed! As soon as we realized that, we had to warn the passengers about the bomb! After we immediately told the people about the bomb, they all went ahead and safely exited the ship in escape pods! Unfortunately, the four of us were the only ones left on board! That's when I overrode the robotic autopilot so the ship can elude the waiting line and fly into space where the explosion won't hurt anyone, except us, as we were still trapped onboard! But just then, the Hovershell docked up with the ship and it was being piloted by Torbin Zixx! Torbin then sent a transport beam into the ship and then we all escaped into the Hovershell just as the vehicles launched. Fortunately, Zixx managed to detach the Hovershell seconds before the transport exploded near the moon! Of course, the explosion destroyed a nearby satellite in the process! After that, Torbin Zixx landed the Hovershell at the Moonport! Apparently, It appeared that Torbin iwan't so bad after all, since he decided to help us after he saw us rescue the passengers instead pursuing him! He then explained that he didn't know the package was a bomb and that it was all the doings of an alien named Sh'Okanabo! Apparently, he would never have agreed to the deal had he known it would endanger innocent lives. While we were pleased that he had some moral standards, we weren't going to let Zixx off that easily! But, as Raph tried to grab Torbin, we discovered that he was another hologram and the real Zixx was already onboard his own ship, which then zoomed off into the sky!" Donnie explained. "That raises some concerns." Lisa said. "We felt the same way, so we talked to Bishop about it." Donnie explained.

"After Bishop congratulated us on saving the lives of the passengers, we all told him that Zixx blamed the explosion on Sh'Okanabo! But, the president stated that the so-called Sh'Okanabo was an alien myth, a diversion tactic employed by the mercenary! Bishop then informs us that the explosion knocked out the defense grid and that without it, someone could bring a large cargo to Earth undetected, so we would all have to be wary!" Leo explained. "Unfortunately, we had no idea just what we were getting ourselves into." He added. "It all started when in the Turtle Dojo, Leo and Raph were sparring against me! Eventually, our skirmish spilled out of the Dojo and into the lab where Donnie and Cody were working on the Turtle X battlesuit, much to Serling's dismay! Once the fighting had stopped and a discussion began, I was shocked to discover that Cody had never heard of Robert Louis Stevenson or "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide", let alone seen an old-fashioned horror films! That's when Don did some quick research online and found an alien organization, called the Earth Alien Appreciation Society, that was trying to preserve old Earth culture, and they just so happened to br showing a triple feature of horror flicks featuring "The Tangler", "The Thing That Ate Ice Station Zulu", and "Nightmare in East Williston"! After that, Cody and us Turtles piled into the Hovershell and flew downtown to view the creature features!" Mikey explained.

"That sounds like something Lucy would be interested in." Leni said. "Indeed I would." Lucy answered. "As would we!" Said Lucy's friends from the Jr Morticians Club. "Considering the fact that we never heard those three movies that you've just mentioned, Michelangelo, I would say that those particular films only exist in your universe!" Lisa noted, much to Mikey's shock and surprise. "Well, you don't know what you're missing!" Mikey said. "Anyway..." Leo said. "While my sons and Cody-san were out for their movies, I had stayed at the penthouse and meditated! But then, I was ambushed by shape-shifting shadowy creature that demanded me to tell him the whereabouts of my sons! Fortunately, Serling came along and drove the creature away with the penthouse's security system! After that, the shadowy creature had slithered away! But before the creature left, he overheard Serling stating about where my sons were!" Splinter explained.

"This is what happens when you don't include better area scanning software in robots." Lisa pointed out. "Anyway, at the Metro theater, we were all watching our monster flick, along with the members of the Earth Alien Appreciation Society! As the leader of the organization tried to narrate over the film, but he was pelted with popcorn by Mikey, who wanted him to sit down and be quiet! After Donnie apologized for Mikey's behavior and after the society leader explained that he and the other members were trying to make the movie going experience as accurate to the late 20th Century and early 21st Century as possible, Mikey then took my box of popcorn, went down to the front row, and actually showed the aliens how eat popcorn in large quantities! That's when I went to get more popcorn in order to replace the one my brother took! I then entered the murky lobby and grabbed a new container of popcorn! As I turned around, the shadows began to coalesce behind me and turn into wriggling tentacles that engulfed me completely! As I was stunned and unable to move or cry out for help, I was then dragged into the darkened corridors of the theater!" Leo explained. "Sounds like you guys got to experience your own horror movie!" Lincoln realized.

"And I should know what it's like to see one!" He added in fright, much to the Turtles' confusion. "Yeah, long story short, Lincoln here actually went and snuck into a theater room where they were showing this horror movie called "The Harvestor", which was about a farmer turning into a serial killer after a drought destroyed his crops! Why did Lincoln sneak in there, you ask? It's because Lincoln wanted to prove to his parents that he could handle it! Plus, he saw Rusty actually going in to see that movie as well! Unfortunately for him, Lincoln proved himself wrong and he became so frightened, that he practically kept himself awake for the entire night! And incident happened about a year ago! Not only that, but that movie had mentally scarred him for life!" Clyde explained, causing everyone, specifically those that did not know that factoid, to gasp in shock while Lincoln started shivering in fright from that memory. "Apparently..." Sakura said, covering her boyfriend's ears. "...he can't even hear the word 'harvester' without freaking out!" She said, removing her hands from Lincoln's ears.

"Yeah! It happened about a few days ago, when we this trio of Mythical Animarius warriors called the Water Hunters! Their leader, Ahuizotlus, who was also Cerberion's cousin, actually showed off his collection of jars, each one containing a pair of human eyeballs from each victim that he had killed, and called himself an eyeball harvester! As you can guess, Lincoln reacted by screaming and then running away to hide behind a bush in sheer terror!" Clyde explained, much to everyone's shock and disgust. "Not exactly my finest moment." Lincoln admitted with shame. "Daijobu, Lincoln-kun. We all have our moments." Sakura assured him, kissing him on the cheek. "AWWWWWWWWWW!" The Loud sisters said. "See, Linky, this is what we were talking about! You and Sakura are just too cute together!" Leni said.

"Hey, what are we, chopped liver?!" Chloe asked as she then went to Clyde and then kissed Clyde in the lips. Sakura chuckled at that. "Sorry, you were saying?" "Right! Well, back at the theater, the Earth Alien Appreciation Society wss delighted to discover that Mikey was an expert on the history of horror films! Mikey explained the rules of horror movies to his new friends while I decided to find Leo after wondering what was taking him so long! Upon entering the lobby, I discovered a box of popcorn that my brother dropped after he was assaulted! I called out to Leo and then I heard his voice calling for help! Unfortunately, as I later found, but it turned out that the shadowy creature can alter his voice as easily as his body, and he was luring me into a trap! As I climbed up the stairs, I had accidentally stepped in a pile of purple slime that dripped from the ceiling! I then looked up and saw Leon stuck to the ceiling in the same dark, gooey mess! Then, without warning, the creature had appeared and smothered me in a mass of tentacles!" Raph explained. "EWWWWWW!" The girls all cried.

"And that's not all! I had decided to go into the projection room and examine the movie projector, which had been made by combining old technology with new! I was was so distracted by the machine that I had failed to notice the billowing form of the creature rising up behind me. Soon, I was captured by the shadowy monster as well!" Donnie explained. This made everyone facepalm. "Yeah, even geniuses like myself tend to get distracted by certain things!" Donnie admitted in embarrassment. "We all have our moments." Lisa said. "Soon, the shadowy creature had Raph, Leo and I stuck to the walls! Then, the grotesque monster stated that he would interrogate us about something called "The Day of Awakening", once he captures our brother Mikey!" Donnie explained. "As Cody and I, along with our alien friends, were watching a movie, we then noticed that the shadows in the back of the theater were rippling towards them! As soon as I realized that this was not part of the show, the monster revealed himself! After our alien friends had evacuated the building, I told Cody to escape out the back while I keep the shadowy creature busy! With Cody out of harm's way, I then escaped up the balcony with the creature right behind me! That's when I found my brothers encrusted to the wall of the stairwell, so I quickly freed them! But then, the looming shadows had now caught up with us and then morphed into his true appearance, which was basically a bulky armored humanoid being with red eyes, purple skin, three-fingered hands with claws, and a big mouth with razor-sharp teeth!" Mikey explained, causing everyone to gasp in shock. "Let me guess, that was Sh'Okanabo?" Lincoln asked.

"Yep! It was him, alright! Though, he never actually said his name when we first encountered him! But we did manage to find that out, later on!" Mikey answered. "And he was every bit as bad as Bishop said his 'legends' reported him to be." Leo said. "After Sh'Okanabo turned into his true form, we prepared for a battle! Unfortunately, he was lot tougher than we thought! He was able to cause Raph to crash through a wall of the theater and into the aisles! Then, Sh'Okanabo smashed through the doors with Leo struggling in his hand as Donnie and I gave chase! The battle raged on and it was not going well for us! That's when Cody peeked in to witness the destruction and decided to activate Turtle X via remote control in order to help us! While he was able to bring Turtle X over to the theater, the mech had, unfortunately, brought Serling along for the ride due to him being caught in a chain that Turtle X was hanging on! As soon as Turtle X arrived, Serling was accidentally launched straight into the projector room and crashed there! Afterwards, Cody quickly jumped into the armor and manned the controls! With that, us four Turtles and Turtle X begin battling the powerful Sh'Okanabo! But, even with the extra help from Cody, we were unable to stop our powerful enemy! Luckily, sirens sound in the background as Biggles and his crew begin to arrive. That's when Sh'Okanabo decided that it was too early to get involved with the law and then he fled! Then, us Turtles decided to evade the law as well and then we disappeared into the shadows! Afterwards, Biggles and his men entered the destroyed theater, since they saw Turtle X flying out of the penthouse with Serling chained to it! The Constable then found Cody Jones and stated that the boy had a lot of explaining to do!" Mikey explained.

"Oh boy." Lincoln said sarcastically. "Later that day, at the penthouse, Cody explained that once he offered to pay for all the damage, Biggles had dropped all the charges! Then, we had all wondered why Sh'Okanabo was asking us about the "Day of Awakening" during the battle and what it might mean! That's when I stated that whatever it was, it was bad news! That's because it aligns with Rule #23 of horror movies: Anything with "Day of" in the title is gonna be scary!" Mikey explained. "After an adventure where I had met the grandson of the Silver Sentry, who having not inherited any of his powers, decided to take on the Turtle Titan identity, we then had another encounter with the Inuwashi Gunjin." Mikey said. "It all started At O'Neil Tech, where Cody, Starlee, and I were attempting to create a temporal controller in hopes that it would not send us back to the Big Bang when we use the Time Window to go back to the 21st century! Our experiment, sadly, was another failure! Cody then realizes they need donatellium, a low-density alloy that I will create later in my lifetime, to stabilize the device! As I talked about alterations to the donatellium's subatomic structure, Mikey used the Transcendental lathe to create an unflattering puppet of Raph! Needless to say, that did not please Raph in the slightest! Getting back to the subject on hand, Cody said that donatellium can be only created and altered in a low-gravity environment, like on the Moon! Thus, everyone decided to take a trip to Moon!" Donnie explained.

"Cool!" Lincoln and Clyde said. "You had an alloy named after yourself in the future?! Do you realize what an honor it is in the scientific community to have something named after yourself?!" Lisa asked in excitement. "Yeah, I was pretty surprised myself." Donnie said. "I'm actually surprised that Michelangelo-san actually made a puppet that looked like Raphael-san!" Shintomaru said as he then giggled, much to Raph's annoyance. Luan managed to free her other hand from the webbing and removed the stuff from her mouth. "I don't suppose you still have that puppet, do you? My act could always use some fresh talent!" She said. "Sadly, No! I don't have it anymore! Especially since I left it behind at moon anyway!" Mikey explained. "Dang it!" Luan said, snapping her fingers. "Long story short, Luan actually has a wooden dummy named Mr. Coconuts, who she often uses in her comedy acts as well as around the house!" Lincoln explained. "And I'm always on the search for sidekicks for him!" Luan said. "Ooh, sorry about that!" Mikey said.

"That's okay! I'll just keep on searching!" Said Luan. "Say, Luan, why is Mr. Coconuts not with you right now?" Lincoln asked. "Even puppets need a break every now and then." Luan answered. "Oh! Okay, I guess that makes sense!" Said Lincoln. "Anyway, back at Cody's apartment, as we started to pack up, Darius arrived and forbade Cody to go the Moon! But then, us Turtles asked Serling who owned the company spacecraft and therefore who gets to make the decision! Serling then stated that Cody owned the craft, and with that, I used the Raph puppet to give Darius Dun a hilarious kiss goodbye! After that, us Turtles and Cody headed off to the Moonport! Then, we entered the company spacecraft, which immediately went to the lauch pad and then we blasted off towards the Moon!" Mikey explained. "Good ole Uncle Darius must not have been happy about that!" Lincoln joked. "No, he wasn't! Apparently, he brought the Inuwashi Gunjin back from stasis and ordered them to make sure that none of us come back from the Moon alive!" Mikey answered. "He seriously wanted control of O'Neil Tech that bad?!" Lincoln asked aghast.

"Unfortunately, Yes! Apparently, he had figured that if something terrible happened to Cody, then he would automatically have complete control over O'Neil Tech without any competition!" Raph explained. "Even in the year 2105, the legalities of this kind of thing are full of loopholes, it seems." Lisa muttered. "Anyway, after launching in the company spacecraft, my brothers and I, along with Cody, arrived at the Moon! Our destination was Moonbase Bishop, obviously named after Bishop himself, which was located on the shores of the Sea of Tranquility! Apparently that area also had water surrounding it, due to terraforming technology! But, before we could land, we were suddenly under attack as a stealth ship began to fire upon us! Then, grappling hooks extend along with an airlock shaft and the two ships were then connected to each other! Then the power had shorted out in our cabin as a laser torch began to cut a hole through the roof! After that, the Gunjin cut an entrance into Cody's ship and then boarded the craft. Thats when my brothers and I had hidden ourselves and waited for the right moment to attack! Seconds later, a battle between us and the Gunjin had ensued. One of the Gunjin fired his weapon and accidentally broke a window in the ship! The cabin began to decompress and everyone was in mortal danger. Fortunately, Cody, along with my brothers and I, reached the escape pod and flew off as the Gunjin retreated to their stealth ship!" Donnie explained.

"Okay, that's just plain insane!" Luan said. "Which coming from her is saying something!" Lynn said. "After crash landing on the moon, our escape pod was damaged and then it was beginning to leak air! That's when we all put on these devices called Personal Life Vestibules, which were basically force-field life preservers, but the devices would only provide oxygen for a short time! After knowing that, we had to get to Moonbase Bishop before our air runs out! Of course, to make matters worse, the Gunjin had arrived and renewed their attack! We then launched a brief assault while protecting Cody and then we fled towards the Moonbase! Afterward, we all broke into an old maintenance tunnel and momentarily escaped our pursuers!" Donnie explained. "Woah!" Lincoln said. "Eventually, we had reached a fork in the tunnels and our group had decided to split up; Cody, Leo, and Donnie going one way while Raph and I went the other way! As Raphael and I traversed the darkened passageway, I was still carrying the Raph puppet and was using it to torture my bemused bro! But suddenly, a Gunjin attacked. Raph then pulled me to safety and then we both ran off towards the rest of our bros! Raph and I went zipping by the others and informed them that the Gunjin were on our tails. Everyone tried to flee, but Cody slippec on some ice and fell! The Gunjin leader appeared right behind him and it appeared that Cody's goose was cooked! Fortunately, before the Gunjin could capture Cody, Raph used his sais to puncture nearby pipes that send jets of water driving into the flying predator, preventing him from advancing! Then, we grabbed Cody and ran, but we knew that we won't have long before our foes could reach us. With that, we had decided to ambush the Gunjin in a surprise maneuver. That's when I decided to use the Raph puppet in order to distract the Gunjin while we had sneak-attacked from under the water!" Mikey explained. Everyone was impressed with that tactic.

"At least something good came out of that annoying little thing." Raph said. "Yeah, Raph really did not like that puppet! Especially when Mikey had used it to constantly make fun of him!" Donnie noted. "Can you blame him?" All the Louds but Luan and Lily asked. "Hey! Are you guys saying that my comedy routines with Mr. Coconuts are annoying?!" Luan angrily asked. "We can only tolerate it up to a certain point." Lincoln said. "Okay, that's fair." Luan said. "Anyway, while we were able to land a sneak attack, the fight was, unfortunately, in the favor of the Gunjin! Then, their leader was able to grab Cody and fly off with him! Donnie ambushed the Inuwashi and both he and Cody land on a cable high above a pool. The cracks in the ceiling had widened and water began to cascade in! Then, part of the roof had collapsed, taking Cody and Donnie with it as they both fell into the water below! That caused Cody to be trapped under a large pillar at the bottom and unable to move. That's when we frantically tried to free the kid in order to save him from drowning! But, unfortunately, our efforts weren't working! Donnie and I swam to the surface and asked the Gunjins to help us, but they remained motionless. After that, we both took deep breaths and dived back into the drink to help our friend!" Raph explained.

"Good thing turtles are amphibious." Lisa stated. "Yeah, if we had a penny for every time we had to use that fact." Raph said. "Of course, something unexpected happened! Above the surface of the water, the Gunjin leader decided that he and his fellow warriors must do the honorable thing and help us! With that, the Inuwashi warriors dived into the water, destroyed the pillar, and freed Cody! Then, we pulled Cody to safety and, once it's apparent that he would be okay, we then prepatre to renew our battle with the Gunjin. However, the Inuwashi Gunjin leader announced that the battle was over and thanked us for reminding them what honor was all about! He then told us to run, as the ceiling wouldn't hold much longer! As soon as he said that, the water began pouring into the chamber in sweeping torrents. We then headed to an escape elevator while the Gunjin grabbed large panels to hold back the water! The Gunjin were only able to hold off the flood for a few seconds, but it was enough time to allow us to gain entrance to the elevator and make it to the surface of the Moonbase! Once there, we had hoped that the Gunjin have gone to a better place! Fortunately, we all looked out the window and saw that the Inuwashi Gunjin had all survived and rose out of the water! After that, they flew off into space and went off to places unknown! Also, since their stasis generators were damaged by the flood and collapsing debris, they were no longer under Darius Dunn's control!" Leo explained. "That's a relief. Those Gunjin guys definitely deserve better than being under his control." Sakura said with disgust upon saying the word 'his'.

"Yeah! The fact that he used and mistreated those honorable warriors really makes my blood boil!" Shintomaru added in equal disgust. "By the way, while you guys were on the Moon, did you ever get the donatellium you needed for the Time Window? And even more importantly, how were you guys able to get back to Earth?" Lisa asked. "We were able to get the Donatellum, and Darius, in an effort to continue his charade, sent an emergency shuttle after us." Donnie said. "Of course!" The Louds said in sarcasm. "Has anything else happened after that?" asked Rusty. "Well, there was that time that my sons and I had accompanied Cody-san and Darius to the biggest social event of the year, the annual "Earth's Open Arms" event!" Splinter explained. "Of course, the best parts were that actually rode on the way there in a futuristic limousine and we all wore tuxedos for the occasion!" Mikey explained. Lincoln groaned at the mention of the word 'limousine'. "Is he okay?" Leo asked. "Yeah, he just has a not so pleasant memory involving a limousine and a whole lot of mustard." Clyde answered.

"Let's just say that I won a limo ride for eating my weight in fancy mustard! Of course, I then encountered another limo rider named Lord Tetherby, who taught me really bad things, such as not sharing my limo ride with my sisters when I should have and also being rude to my chauffeur Kirby! After my rental time was up and Kirby kicked onto the highway, I tried to get to Tetherby's mansion on foot! But then, I was attacked in an alley by stray dogs, had my clothes torn, and then I got hit with mud by a passing car! When I finally arrived for the party at his mansion, Tetherby dumped me because I don't own a limo anymore, so he has security kick me out of the gate, and into a trash can! After that, I had go back home on foot while being chased by dogs again!" Lincoln explained, much to everyone's horror. "All right, where is this Tetherby guy? No one treats my kind, loving, wonderful boyfriend like that!" Sakura said, gazing lovingly at Lincoln with the 'kind, loving, wonderful boyfriend' part.

"Well, after I made up to my sisters and apologized to Kirby, we all went to Burpin' Burger in a limo ride! Of course, we then encountered Tetherby again! So, I managed to get back at him by spraying him with mustard! Also, Sakura, if you want to give him a piece of your mind later on, I'll show to where his mansion is!" Lincoln answered. "Let me join in too. If there's one thing I hate, it's entitled people!" Aya said. "Alright, if you say so! But first, I think we need to get back to the story at hand here!" Lincoln said. "Right! Anyway, when we got to the event, Mikey had already started things up by being a total ham in front of the paparazzi!" Donnie explained. "Of course." Lincoln said, facepalming. "Yeah, it got annoying really quick! So annoying that I tackled Mikey down in order to make him stop!" Raph explained. This made Lynn chuckle.

"Later, after we went inside the O'Neil Tech building, Darius Dunn emerged on a podium and addressed the crowd! He then welcomed the guests, explained O'Neil Tech's mission of peace and asked the attendees to "give until it hurts". With his introduction concluded, Darius seeked out Cody in order to introduce him to the influential attendees. He then ushered Cody away from us while also requesting that we try not to impale any of his guests!" Leo explained. "Well, that's just plain rude!" Lola said. "Hah! You're one to talk, Lola!" Lynn remarked. "At least I don't go that far!" Lola fired back. "So, what happened next?" Asked Lincoln. "Well, something strange had happened! When I tried to get an autograph from Brittany Alexander, who was the TV host for Entertainment Today, I had suddenly blacked out! By the time I had gotten back to my own senses, I had somehow gone elsewhere with Master Splinter, who was talking to a group of aliens called the Monks of Meague!" Mikey explained, much to everyone's confusion. "That can't be good." Lincoln said.

"You're darn right it ain't good!" Raph replied. "So then what happened?" Aurachnid asked. "Well, when I touched Mikey when he was with Splinter, I had suddenly blacked out as well! By the time I got back to my own senses, I was all confused! Then, when I saw Darius in distance he was acting strangely and just left! When me and my brothers, along with Cody, tried to figure out what was going on, we realized that something was up, so we had get to bottom of it!" Leo explained. "I'm confused." Lynn said. "So were we." Raph said. "Later, as we entered a top secret area of the O'Neil Tech building, Cody and us Turtles caught up up to Dunn, but he ignored our shouts and entered an elevator! Cody tried to activate his own security code, but he was locked out. Donnie then began to work on the computer so we can gain entry to the secret level of O'Neil Tech! Moments later, Cody and us Turtles had entered a weapons lab! Cody was upset and confused by that room because O'Neil Tech was adamantly against weapon construction, which meant Darius was in major violation of the code of ethics that Casey Jones and April O'Neil founded the company on! But just then, Darius emerged in a battle suit with weapons drawn!" Mikey explained.

Lola scoffed at that. "Does he have any class whatsoever?" She asked. "Then, Darius attacked and a battle had ensued. Bullets flew everywhere and then we all realized this was definitely not Dun that they're fighting, since his speech and mannerisms were completely different from his usual self! As us Turtles fought Darius and dodged bullets, Cody got nabbed! We then jumped into action and freed Cody from the grasp of the battle suit! After that we sent Dun flying down a stairwell and go in for the finish! But as we were about to , Cody appeared at the top of the stairwell and was holding a grenade! As he then threw the grenade towards us, we then hid behind the battle suit for protection! The grenade exploded, but the battle suit was able to withstand it! After leaving a confused and angry Darius, us Turtles went after the crazed Cody, who was running off with all the weapons data. That's when we figured out that whoever our enemy is, he was body jumping somehow, and Cody was the current victim!" Mikey explained, causing everyone to gasp in shock. "You mean like in that cheesy movie with the pods?" Lori asked. "Yes, but on a whole nother level!" Mikey said.

"As we had chased down Cody at the main hall, we had finally caught with him! However, when we did, the kid was back to normal! That's when we realized that our enemy had managed to body jump into Splinter!" Raph explained. "Now that's just low." Sakura said. "As soon as managed to follow him to an back alley, we saw him with a bunch of Street Phantoms! That's when we realized that the body jumper was actually Jammerhead himself! Not only that, but the Street Phantoms were guarding Jammerhead's body while he was body jumping!" Donnie explained. "That's just plain freaky." Lincoln said. "After figuring that out, we knew that we couldn't let Jammerhead reach his own body or else he'll phase out and escape. Then, we quickly defeated the Street Phantoms and blocked Splinter from reaching Jammerhead's body! That's when Jammerhead had a plan and he then dived off a truck, head first towards the pavement. We then rushed to catch our Sensei and then we all fell into a big pile. Splinter awakened, tossed us off of him, and demanded to know why we were attacking him! Mikey and Raph cheerfully announced that Master Splinter was back and then we rushed to our Sensei's side to explain what's going on! But then we realized that one of us four Turtles must be possessed by Jammerhead! At first, none of knew who's who, but then we quickly realized that Leo was the new bodyjacker victim when he said that we should "just bag it and call it a day."! After a short skirmish, I then used my futuristic bo to zap Leonardo with a blast of energy! After that, Leo fell to the ground and a high-tech alien-built orb rolled out of his hand! That caused Jammerhead to awaken and cry out for his orb, which he called the Bodyjacker! As soon as he did that, I then promptly smashed the Bodyjacker into pieces! The destruction of the orb immediately short circuited Jammerhead's brain and he was engulfed in waves of energy that left him smoking and unconscious! In other words, Jammerhead's brain was fried!" Donnie explained.

This made everyone laugh out loud. "Serves him right!" Lisa said. "Yeah! You should have seen him! As soon as his brain was fried, all Jammerhead could say was "System Crash, System Crash!" multiple times!" Mikey explained. This made everyone laugh even harder. "Oh yeah, he definitely deserved that!" Zach said. "A bit later, Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers had arrived and put a delirious Jammerhead into the squad car, along with the other Street Phantoms! Afterwards, we accused Dunn of making illegal weaponry, but Darius asked Biggles to explain why O'Neil Tech had a weapons lab! That's when Biggles cheerfully reported that the weapons in O'Neil Tech were taken off the street by the Peacekeepers and then handed over to Darius to be recycled into other products that aid society! Once that explanation was finished, Darius smirked and then ushered Cody to a waiting limousine and then the pair drove off! Of course we knew that Darius is lying, but Splinter stated that we must bide our time until Dunn slips up and reveals his true nature!" Donnie explained.

"In the meantime, we had another, encounter with Sh'Okanabo." Raph said. "It all started when us Turtles, Splinter, and Cody were chowing down on some hot dogs at a restaurant called Original Famous Jay's, who's owner was actually a clone of the original Jay himself, which explains why the hot dogs there tasted like those from our time! As we enjoyed our old fashioned dinner, a purple mutated bird flew inside and landed on the counter top! The shop owner noticed that and then drove the bird off with a broom! But, what none of us realized was that the bird left behind some purple goo that smothered some of the hot dogs! After we had finished our meal, we prepared to head home! Of course, I felt like I needed one more bite, so I decided to grabs one last hot dog for later and lagged behind! As I had walked home, I couldn't resist the temptation, and then I chomped into the hot dog, which had the purple goo left behind by that bird!" Mikey explained, causing everyone, except for Lana, to be grossed out. "EWWWWWWW! What's wrong with you?!" Sakura asked. "If I had a penny for every time I asked that." Raph said.

"Okay, to be fair, I didn't realize that hot dog was covered in goop! In fact, when I bit into it, I thought it was covered in relish, since it tasted like it!" Mikey explained, further grossing everyone out, except for Lana. "That's disgusting!" Leni shouted. "Hey, don't knock it until you try it." Lana said. "Unfortunately for me, that goop actually made me feel incredibly sick, especially since I walked the way to the penthouse like a zombie!" Mikey explained. "Raphael-san is right. You are a baka." Shintomaru said. "Well, as soon the guys and I had a little belch-off, we heard a incredibly loud burp that came from none other than Mikey himself, who had just arrived at the penthouse!" Raph explained. "You want to see a huge belch?" Lynn asked, the others realizing what she was about to do. "Lynn, no, please, do-" Lincoln said. Unfortunately, it was too late.

"*BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!*" Lynn loudly belched, causing the room to shake. "Nice one!" Mikey said, applauding. "Easy for you to say, you weren't directly in front of it's path." Lucy said as the force of the burp had actually forced her hair back. "Whoa! So that's what your eyes look like! They're colored gray like the moon!" Rocky said as he and everyone else saw that Lucy's eyes had irises in the shade of gray similar to that of the moon. Lynn chuckled nervously. "Sorry, Luce." She said. "Apology accepted! But, next time, Lynn, allow us get to a safe distance before you burp like that again!" Lucy replied. "Duly noted!" Said Lynn. "By the way, Lucy, why do you have your bangs covering up those beautiful eyes of yours?" Rocky asked. "It was actually my parents idea to begin with, since they had allowed my bangs to cover up my eyes when I was an infant! Why, you ask? Because, instead of crying like babies would normally do, I just stared at my parents a lot and they find my eyes to be rather creepy! Though, fortunately, I had quickly became rather accustomed to my hairstyle and I am able to see just fine even if my eyes are covered up by my bangs!" Lucy answered.

"Okay, that's just freaky." Raph said. "Eh, you get used to it." Lincoln said. "Well, not to be rude, but maybe you should cut your bangs down just a little, because I think those eyes of yours are actually quite pretty, now that I know what they look like!" Rocky said while blushing, causing Lucy to blush back. "AWWWWWWWWW!" The girls in the room all gushed. "Okay, Rocky! Perhaps I'll think about it!" Lucy replied with a small smile. "Anyway, you guys were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right, we didn't really think much of it. We thought Mikey was just being his normal, disgusting self." Raph said. "You forgot loveable!" Mikey said. "No I didn't." Raph countered. "However, when Mikey arrived, he was all zombie-like and began acting very strangely! First, he fainted! Then, he got back up, rushed to the refrigerator, and started eating all of its contents, including the vegetables! We tried to help him, but Mikey easily overpowered us and then batted us away! Cody then injected Mikey with a tranquilizer, causing Mikey to pass out. While Mikey had slept, the rest of us strapped him onto an examination table! Cody ran a bunch of tests and then we discover that something of alien origin was in Mikey's system, causing a new mutation! Suddenly, Mike spewed purple vomit/goop all over Leo that had suddenly gotten absorbed into Leo's skin. Then,we all focused our attention back on Mikey as he was then engulfed in purple tentacles that formed a cocoon around him. Seconds later, the alien covering bursts open and revealed a new, spikey, purple-skinned, mutated Mikey monster!" Raph explained, much to everyone's shock and horror.

"That's terrifying, disgusting, and awesome all at once!" Clyde said, Lincoln nodding in agreement. "Ugh! Now I gotta throw up again!" Said Lola as she then dashed to one of the emergency bathrooms and loudly threw up in the toilet "BLEEEEEEEEEEGH!". "Yeah, that's an understandable reaction." Mikey said. After Lola returned from her throw-up moment, the Turtles continued their story. "After Mikey broke out of his restraints, he started smashing all of the lab equipment! He was super strong and couldn't be held down by the rest of us, even when Cody was in his Turtle X armor! Then, Mikey tore out of the room and smashed through a window. The rest of us jumped into the Hovershell in order to track him! As we had followed Mikey, Donnie then realized that the slime that Mikey was trailing was actually infectious! Suddenly, our attention turned to a crazed Leo, whose eyes were already glowing red! Leo then began to smash around the Hovershell while looking for something to eat like how Mikey was earlier, even going to the extend of chewing on Donnie's weapon! He then pushed Donnie, causing him to accidentally hit the "Shell Release" button and then the cockpit disengaged from the body and plummeted towards the ground! Afterwards, the ship had crashed into the roof of a building and Leo escaped! Cody and I followed Mikey while Splinter and Donnie went after Leo!" Raph explained.

"A zombie goo?" Clyde asked. "Yeah, I guess you could compare it to that." Donnie said. "While Splinter and Donnie were busy with Leo, Cody and I followed Mikey into the same hot dog shop where it all started! We then found a trap door in the floor and investigated. As we both slowly walked downstairs, we discovered that the basement was covered in that purple slime. When we reached the bottom, we then realized that it was a nest full of angry, spikey, purple-skinned, mutated humanoids, with one of them being the store owner, who were all alongside Mikey! As the group of mutants prepared to attack, Cody pushed a shelf onto them in order to slow them down! Then, he and I escaped up the stairs and barricaded the trap door. Cody had a plan on how to slow or reverse the mutation, but he just needed to figure out the proper ratio of light to radiation to expose the mutants to, but he didn't get the chance to figure it out as Master Splinter and Donatello entered, which I then realized that both of them were infected as soon as Donnie and Splinter started chowing down on raw hot dogs! Then, Leo suddenly broke in and Cody tried a light radiation that he came up with, only to fail as Leo was engulfed in purple tentacles that formed a cocoon around him! When the cocoon burst open, Leo had turned into a purple spikey mutation! Then, Leo knocked Cody and I away, causing the barricade on the basement door to get loose and giving the other mutants a chance to escape the basement and join the monster menace! The creatures then surrounded Cody and I! But, just as they were about to attack, they stopped and kneeled on the ground! That's when Sh'Okanabo arrived and told us both to prepare for our future, a world full of what he called Kanabo Drones! Then, Sh'Okanabo explained about how his kind, the Kanabo, roamed from planet to planet, infecting host bodies and taking over! When that planet was used up, his ship takes off again to find another world to infect! Then he told us that Earth was his next target!" Raph explained, causing everyone to gasp in horror.

"You weren't kidding! This guy is worse than the Shredder!" Lincoln said. "Not only that, but that Sh'Okanabo and his kind are like the symbiotes from Marvel Comics, but worse!" Clyde added. "Indeed. And we were just beginning to learn just how bad Sh'Okanabo was!" Leo said. That caused Lana to become so frightened, that she had involuntarily pooped in her pants while letting out a really loud fart at the same time *PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!*. "Uh oh! I'm going to call in a Code Brown, because I've just pooped my pants out of fright!" Lana stated in embarrassment while everyone else coughed and gagged from the stench. "THE STENCH! *COUGH! COUGH!* IT BURNS!" shouted Andros and Phixia as they then immediately fainted from the stench overpowering their sensitive noses (*PAC-MAN DEATH SOUND EFFECT!*). Sakura sighed. "O bachan?" She asked. "On it." Mrs. Hoseki said as Aurachnid lowered Lana down to Mrs. Hoseki.

After Mrs. Hoseki cut Lana out of the spider silk with her scissors, everyone can see the trail of fumes coming from her rear end. "I'll let her take a shower upstairs." Mrs. Hoseki said, leading Lana to the elevator. "Feel free to use my shampoo, body wash, and anything else you need, Lana-chan." Sakura said, using her wind powers to dispel the fumes. "Thanks, Sakura! While I normally don't like taking bathes or showers, this is clearly an emergency so big that even I need to take one!" Lana replied as she and Mrs. Hoseki entered the elevator and activated it. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Uh, right! But before we say anything, I think we need to wake the sphinx twins back up because they have fainted again!" Raph said as he then pointed at Andros and Phixia, who were still unconscious from the stench. "You want to do it again, or should I pull out the salts?" Toadus asked Mpatapo and Duafe. Toadus then approached his newest wards and pulled out some smelling salts, waving them under their noses.

After that, the sphinx twins had immediately woken up. "Dang It! Not again!" Andros exclaimed in annoyance. "This the third time we've fainted from such a horrible stench!" Phixia complained. That got everyone confused. "Okay, so let me get this straight! You're both telling us that Lynn's fart cloud wasn't the first thing that caused you two to faint like that?!" Raph asked in surprise. "Yes! When we were younger, back we were raised by our mother Sphinxia, Andros and I had encountered a honey badger and it snarled at us!" Phixia explained. "Of course, since I have a liking towards ferocious animals, I wasn't actually scared of it and I even tried befriend it!" Andros explained. "Unfortunately, that caused the honey badger to turn around and lift its tail before it then 'stink bombed' us!" Phixia explained, causing everyone to gasp in shock. But then Leni asked in confusion "Wait a minute! What exactly is a honey badger?" while everyone else then looked at Lisa for answers. "A mammal, also known as a Ratel, native to Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent. Omnivorous, often eating insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, as well as roots, bulbs, berries, and fruits. but as it's name suggests, has a penchant for honey and honeybee larvae. It's thick hide allowing it to resist the stinging onslaught of the bees who's hives it raids. And it's one of the few animals brave enough to stand up to the African Lion." She explained.

"Not only that, but its one the few animals that can survive a bite from a Black Mamba and even eat it when given the chance! Also, for self defense, in case it couldn't scare any predators away, the Honey Badger can turn around and use their rear scent glands, which they would normally use for territorial scent marking and immobilizing honeybees in order to get their honey, to release a foul smelling odor that's as powerful as a striped skunk!" Lisa added. "Which coincidentally enough, it is a cousin of. As well as otters, ferrets, and other badgers." She added. "Fortunately, unlike skunks, a honey badger's stink does not stay on you for very long, though the stench itself is just as unbearable!" Lisa further explained. "Yeah, no kidding." Andros said. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! As soon as Sh'Okanabo finished his explanation and Splinter and Donnie transformed into Kanabo Drones, Cody and I decided that we needed to get the shell outta there! Of course, Cody fired up his rockets and blasted out of the building! I then sighed and stated that Cody was "jumping the gun", just like Casey had always been, before following him and then we escaped inside a hover-truck! However, Cody's armor was damaged and he was immediately infected! That meant it was all up to me to save the day!Then, Cody attacked me, causing the hover-truck to crash through a wall and into the dawn of a new day! As Kanabo Cody was about to clobber me, the sun's rays engulfed him. Then, Cody fell to his hands and knees, billowing smoke! Finally, mutation had reverted and the kid changed back to his normal self! That's when Cody and I realized that sunlight contained the correct light/radiation ratio to save our friends! As Sh'Okanabo stood in front of his Kanabo army and gloated that the Day of Awakening has begun, Cody and I used the hover-truck to smash through the walls and create holes for sunlight to enter! After managing to get Leo, Donnie, and Master Splinter back to normal, we all then begin ripping through boarded up windows and lightened up the entire area, causing everyone to turn back to normal, including Mikey! With no more drones and his great plan ruined, Sh'Okanabo destroyed the building's structural supports and then he fled! After that, we all rescued everyone from the collapsing building! As soon as did that, we realized that Sh'Okanabo had destroyed all evidence of his involvement and nobody would believe us even if we told them the truth! Of course, we all then saw the Peacekeepers beginning to arrive at the scene, so we had hightail it out of there before we could get caught!" Raph explained.

"Dang, he's smart!" Lincoln said. "Indeed." Donnie said as the elevator let back down. "Are you okay, Lana-chan?" Sakura asked in concern. "While I'm feeling little better, now that I've taken a shower to get rid of my, well, mess, I'm not exactly okay with the idea of wearing dresses, or skirts for that matter!" Lana answered as she was now seen wearing a yellow shirt with a skirt while still wearing her sneakers and signature hat. "Suimimasen, Lana-chan. It's all I have that's your and Lola-chan's size." Sakura said. "Plus, I didn't start wearing pants underneath my skirt until I was nine years old anyway!" She added. "That's all right, Sakura." Lana said. "What'd I miss?" She asked. "That's all right, Sakura." Lana said. "What'd I miss?" She asked. "Well, Raph just finished explaining about he managed to turn all of the Kanabo Drones, including Mikey, Leo, Donnie, and Master Splinter, back to normal using sunlight!" Lincoln answered. "That's a relief!" Lana said. "Yeah, unfortunately, we didn't have much time to relax, as Darius ended up making a deal with Sh'Okanabo!" Raph said.

"*GULP!* What kind of deal?!" Lana asked in fear. "Let's just say it involves a combination of Sh'Okanabo's dark powers and our DNA." Raph informed them. "It all started at the penthouse, right after some training! When we overheard Darius having a phone call with someone about a surprise for Cody! Since we figured that it might a bad kind of surprise, we decided to follow Darius to where that surprise was! However, when we were taking the Hovershell to follow Darius's limousine, our vehicle had been hit by a missile and then we were then sent plummeting down to ground! That's when we had no choice but to jump out of the Hovershell, right before it finally crashed into the ground and exploded to pieces! Then, we noticed a figure, who was the one behind that attack, so we followed him into a building! Unfortunately, we got there, he was not alone, as it turns out that he, along with three other individuals, were in fact evil monstrous clones of ourselves made of a combination of our own tissue samples that were taken by Sh'Okanabo, during our first encounter with him, and were created by Sh'Okanabo himself using his own alien technology! These evil monstrous clones of ourselves were called, the Dark Turtles!" Mikey explained.

"Now that's just plain freaky!" Lisa said. "You bet it is! Dark Leo, Leo's clone, was big, muscular, had blue skin, carried one big katana and one double-bladed short sword, and had no honor! Dark Donnie, Donnie's clone, was tall, had a long tail, purple skin and he wore these big bladed metal gauntlets on his very big arms! Dark Raph, Ralph's clone, was huge, muscular, hunchbacked, had red skin, and wore these big one-clawed metal knuckles on his hands! And finally, there's Dark Mikey, my clone, who was was somewhat taller than me, had yellow skin, orange eyes, carried two double-bladed clubs, a long pinkish tongue, and he was crazy and deranged since likes to laugh maniacally and jump around a lot! But what's even worse about him was that he didn't even like the Justice Force, saying that it "sucked eggs", which I take as pure blasphemy!" Mikey explained in bitterness. "Basically anti-everything you guys are?" Sakura asked. "Exactly!" Leo said.

"As us good Turtles were getting ready to do battle against our dark doppelgängers, it seemed that the odds won't be that even! Then, Dark Donnie activated a giant magnet device that pulled the good our weapons into the air! Ignoring the odds set against us, we heroic ninjas attacked and then a battle had ensued! Unfortunately, it soon became clear that we were overpowered by our evil twins and the Dark Turtles were able knock my bros unconscious while I was tossed through a wall and crashed into a bar next door before I too fell unconscious!" Mikey explained. Everyone cringed at that. "Back at the penthouse, Cody-san and I realized that something was awry, because my sons had been missing for hours! Cody-san attempted to call them but got no response ! He then tried to track them and discovered that only Michelangelo's wrist gauntlet was working! I then prepared to leave alone to search for my sons while advising Cody-san that it may be too dangerous! Cody-san pleaded his case, stating that my sons were always there to help him and he wanted to return the favor and prove his abilities! I then smiled and acquiesced to the boy's wishes! Later, Cody-san, Serling, and I had arrived at the warehouse where my sons were located! However, my sons weren't here, but we did find Michelangelo's tracking device nearly smashed on the floor! Cody-san then used a nanotech device, called an O'Neil Scanite to search for clues that revealed traces of sewage and salt water! As we triec to figure out what happened, an alien frog grabbed Cody-san and attempted to eat him! As the frog threatened to devour him, I immediately fought back! Cody-san then got himself free but I was, unfortunately, thrown through a hole into Abroc's Abyss, the very bar that my sons had fought in earlier! I then accidentally smashed into a table and caused a bar fight to break out, while Serling tried to help me keep the patrons under control! Cody-san's tracking device overheard two patrons talking about another fight between some Turtles. The man mentioned that the guys they were fighting smelled of sewage and salt water. Cody-san used his wrist computer to track a place in the city where sea water intersected with the sewers and discovered there was one main area where that takes place! Then, Cody-san told me that he knows where my sons might be held and then I nodded! But, before we can move, Constable Biggles and his men raided the place! That's when Serling and I were blamed for the trouble while Cody-san managed to slip away to find my sons!" Splinter explained.

"Yikes." Lincoln said. "As for us, when we finally woke up, we were all shackled to a wall in the Dark Turtles' underground lair!" Mikey explained. "Typical." Lincoln and Clyde said at the same time. "Fortunately, once the Dark Turtles had left, Cody found us and removed us from our shackles! Unfortunately, before Cody can get our weapons back, Dark Mikey appeared and grabbed him! Then, after noticing that we were freed, Dark Mikey called the rest of the Dark Turtles over and then they all threatened to kill Cody if we make any sudden moves!" Leo explained. "Yeah! They were dishonorable, alright! Fortunately, Cody used his ninja training to flip Dark Mikey over his shoulder and then he used a smoke bomb to escape! After that, Cody grabbed our weapons and tossed them over to us! We then faced off yet again with our dark clones, but in a fair fight! With even odds, we had easily defeated our evil clones! However, the clones escaped by creating a tunnel collapse! With that, we had decided to have a chat with Darius! Later, at Cody's penthouse, we had discovered that Darius had freed Splinter and Serling from jail and cleared everything with Biggles! Apparently, Darius's excuse for going downtown, via the route that we were attacked on, was to purchase a birthday present for Cody, which was an old Justice Force comic book! Of course, as Darius left, us Turtles didn't buy the story and remained suspicious of him!" Raph explained.

"Of course. The sicko's desperate to keep his charade up and willing to do anything to get his hands on O'Neil Tech." Lisa said. "You have no idea." Raph said. "After learning a very valuable lesson involving a decoy journal Master Splinter and Cody made that we thought was April and Casey's, long story we'd rather not get into, we had another encounter with our old friend, Viral." Leo said. "It all started inside Madison Square Garden where Cody and us Turtles wee attending the Digi-Game Convention! As we all walked around while looking at various game showcases, we had found the mother of all high tech game systems, the Gaminator! Unfortunately, we couldn't buy it, because it was still the development stage and wouldn't be released to the public for a year!" Mikey explained. "Even in the future." Lincoln grumbled.

"Later at Cody's apartment, we were ninja training on the rooftop when Cody had received a free prototype system from Gaminator industries, with a note saying that they apologize to Cody for the salesman being unable to recognize him and asked him to test the system out and even have O'Neil Tech help with the system's manufacturing! After I had explained about the Gaminator's Neural Interface, which basically allows gaming system to register the player's nerve impulses and translate them into commands, Cody decided to allow us to do the honors and play the first game! Then we grabbed the controllers and geared up for a new gaming experience! Among the games that automatically came the Gaminator, there were "Dungeonator", Swampinator", and "Copinator"! Eventually we all chose the "Dungeonator", after Raph dared Mikey to try it! When the system turned on and when we pressed play, it plugged into a socket in the wall and then it literally sucked us into the game, leaving our bodies in the real world, frozen stiff and unconscious while our minds were trapped in the system's "Dungeonator" game without our weapons!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's shock and horror. "I've heard of immersive gaming, but this is ridiculous!" Lincoln started. "I know! That's exactly what I said when we found out that we were inside the Gaminator program!" Mikey replied. "And you say Viral was behind this?" Lisa asked. "As we later found out." Leo answered. "That virus just gets more and more fascinating." Lisa muttered.

"As us Turtles tried to figure out what was happening, we were caught in a cage trap and then Viral appeared out of an Non-Playable Character! Since Viral's master, Sh'Okanabo, wanted to destroy us Turtles himself, Viral decided upload our minds out of the game and into his ship's computers, a process that she had begun while us Turtles were captured inside the cage! Luckily, I found a glitch in the program that allowed us ninjas to escape before Viral could finish her plan!" Mikey explained. "The fact a sentient virus works for someone like Sh'Okanabo is downright terrifying." Clyde admitted. "Yeah! You're definitely right about that!" Donnie noted. "After we've escaped from the "Dungeonator" game, us Turtles had landed in another one of the Gaminator's programs! It was the "Swampinator" game, where we must cross a stream of acidic water by leaping on rocks, with the green ones being safe while the red ones explode upon being touched! As tus Turtles checked out our surroundings, we saw a group of giant red mosquitoes with Viral's head coming straight at us! As we battled the Viralquitoes, Cody connected Serling to the game console and hacked the servant 'bot into the system! As we fended off our digital attackers, we found ourselves trapped against a rock wall by a giant snake-like Viral! Just then, Serling opened a portal and allowed us ninjas to barely escape with our lives! Then, us Turtles and Serling arrived in the next program, the futuristic city of the "Copinator" game! After that, we had discovered that we all had landed in the middle of the "big boss" level, with a fifty-foot-tall Viral as the boss!" Mikey explained.

"That's just messed up!" Lincoln said. "You got that right!" Mikey said. "As Viral grabbed all four of us Turtles and once again started uploading us to Sh'Okanabo, Cody quickly coded in a cheat code! Serling was then given a glowing cheat orb that Cody told him to toss at the villain, which he did! Then, Viral was hit by the orb, which zapped her and shrinked her down to size! Then, Cody continued his hacking and allowed our weapons to appear! We then grabbed our gear and started some hacking of their own by cutting off Viral's arms! It appeared that we had won the battle, but the villain informed us Turtles that she can control the game and had unlimited health! After that, Viral's arms reappeared and she then grew back into her super sized form! We then told Cody that we were going to need "extra lives", which gave Cody an idea as he then coded frantically! Suddenly, armies of duplicate Raphs, Leos, Mikeys, and Donnies appeared! The swarms of Turtles attacked Viral en masse, covering her like hungry ants! Viral could n't handle the overload and aborted her mission as she immediately surged out of the game and out of the building!" Mikey explained.

Everyone laughed at that. "Viral must not have been happy about that!" Lincoln said. "No she wasn't!" Leo said. "After Viral was defeated, Cody was able access the Neural Network and bring our minds back into our real bodies! Then,us Turtles and Serling disappeared from the game and unfreezed inside Cody's apartment! Of course, Raph and I then decided to play a prank on Serling and sent him back into the game, where the multitudes of silicon Ninja Turtles closed in on him, causing Serling to scream while demanding to be released from his personal nightmare as the in-game Turtles laughed gleefully!" Mikey explained. Luan started laughing. "That's a good one!" She said. "After a little fun we got to have with Mikey involving a test that he had to pass in order to reach the next level of ninja training, we had another encounter with Darius and Sh'Okanabo, one that oddly enough, started with Mikey failing to sign for a package!" Raph said, smacking Mikey upside the head. "Ow! How was I supposed to know that thing was important?!" He complained.

"Uh, hello? That envelope had the words "OPEN IMMEDIATELY!" in bold print! How can you not notice that?!" Raph retorted. "I was busy!" Mikey said. "Playing video games is not 'being busy'!" Raph fired back. "Now this, I've got to hear." Sakura said. "It all started when Serling received a very old package but refused the postmen's request to see what's inside of it and meet Mikey! When he addressed us about the mail delivery while we were playing a video game, Mikey dismissed it as junk mail, so Serling left the package on the table!" Leo explained. "In my defense, Serling didn't think much of it either!" Mikey said. "OPEN IMMEDIATELY! That was in big bold letters!" Raph reminded. "Later, at the lab, Cody and I, and then Mikey, were working on the Time Window! Suddenly, a red warning light began to flash as an alarm sounded. Cody investigated via the computer and discovered that there had been a rip in time and space in the city, which can only be created by a machine just like Cody's Time Window!" Donnie explained.

"Nani?!" Sakura and Shintomaru asked in shock while everyone else stood speechless. "After that, we alerted everyone and then we hit the streets of New Manhattan as we all raced along on Shell Speeders and the Big Wheel! Time rifts to the past begin to open everywhere! Our group tried to avoid the obstacles, but they collide with one another and go flying out of control! Donnie and Splinter were launched into one rift while Cody and Leo flew into another. Meanwhile, Raph and I are left in front of a rift that allowed a T-Rex, a Triceratops, and a Pteranodon to pour out of it! Fortunately, even though they did some damage to the city, Raph and I had managed to get the dinosaurs back into their rift right before it closed!" Mikey explained. "I hate to correct you, Michelangelo, but the Pteranodon, despite being in the same era as the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops, is not actually a dinosaur, but a member of a group of flying reptiles known as Pterosaurs!" Lisa pointed out. "Tell that to Tyrannus." Lincoln muttered.

"Tyrannus? Who's he?" Raph asked. "General Tyrannus is King Draco's second-in-command and the leader of the Animarius Empire's Dinosaur Army!" Sakura explained. "So far, from his army, we've only had to deal with his Knights of Destruction, Ankylo being one of them, but now there's only one left." Lincoln said. "And that remaining Knight of Destruction is named Spino, who, as you might guess, is based on a Spinosaurus!" Clyde said. "Tyrannus used to be a Knight of Destruction, but like Leo, he overthrew the original general, an Allosaur Animarius, and made Spino the leader of the Knights." Toadus explained, sipping his te. "Only difference is Tyrannus shattered Allo's soul core." He added. "*GULP!* That's definitely not a good way to go!" Mikey said in fright. "Come to think of it, Pterror, who was a Pteranodon Animarius, and Mosataur, who was a Mosasaurus Animarius, were also Knights of Destruction, but neither of the animals that they were based on are actually dinosaurs! If anything, they should belong in the Reptile Army! How are they even part of the Dinosaur Army to begin with?" Lisa asked in wonder. "Same reason Megalonis had soldiers based off a whale and an octopus." Toadus said. "Best not to question it." Gorf said.

"Oh! I see!" Said Lisa. "I've got a question! Are there any other Dinosaur-themed Animarius besides Tyrannus and the Knights of Destruction?" Mikey asked. "There are plenty of them, though they are currently kept in storage as Soul Cores!" Toadus explained. "If I remember correctly, there were actually dinosaur-themed Animarius in the same ninja class as myself and Tytus! There was Velocirage, a Velociraptor Animarius, Deinoknife, a Deinonychus Animarius, Dromaeon, a Dromaeosaurus Animarius, Achilloblade, a Achillobator Animarius, and Sauroripper, a Saurornitholestes Animarius! Those five Animarius like to call themselves the Raptor Squad, since the dinosaurs they were based on were classified as raptors or, in human terms, Dromaeosaurs!" Gorf stated. "But the Knights are Tyrannus' favorites." Toadus explained. "But now he's down to just one!" Aurachnid said, laughing. "Don't be so cocky, my friend. Spino is the most feared, and powerful member of Tyrannus' army, other than Tyrannus himself." Toadus said. "Yikes, anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked.

"Oh! Right! Of course! As Splinter and I materialized in the middle of the street, we were right in front of a truck labeled TCRI and dodged the vehicle. Splinter immediately recognized that we were back in the year of our mutation. Suddenly, we saw a blind man walking into the street in front of the TCRI truck! The vehicle swerved to avoid the man as a boy pushed him out of the way. A canister on the back of the truck goes flying and bounces on the street, right at a little boy carrying four baby turtles in an aquarium! The canister hit the tank, shattering it. The turtles and canister fell into a storm drain, where the container breaks open and douses the reptiles with ooze! Splinter and I have just witnessed our own mutant creation! And believe me, I was rather shocked to say the least! As we retreated into an alley, Splinter advised me that we cannot afford to damage the timeline! That's when I realized that we need a way to send a message to 2105 in order for someone to use Cody's Time Window to bring us back! Fortunately, I came up with a brilliant idea, but it was a one-in-a-billion shot, the only one we had!" Donnie explained. "Let me guess, the envelope marked 'OPEN IMMEDIATELY'?" Sakura asked. "Yep." Donnie said, looking at Mikey.

"Meanwhile, a rift opened at New York in the year 2005 and Cody and I fell out of it! As we looked around, I realized exactly where we were, it was the first battle my family and I had with the Foot Clan and the Utrom Shredder! Then, the Foot attacked, so I had to protect Cody and defeat them! But just then, the Utrom Shredder appeared, climbing out of the wreckage of the water tower Splinter dropped on him and was none too happy because of it!" Leo explained. The Riders facepalmed at this development. "Back with Mikey and I, another rift opened in front of us! That window contained future versions of ourselves! They were in Sh'Okanabo's ship, fighting Foot ninjas. As we watched on, our future selves yelled for us to get back to Cody's penthouse, where there was a piece of mail that can help and when we get to that part, we had to remind our own past selves to do the same! As the rift shuts, another opened releasing angry Vikings that shot arrows at us while Mikey and I raced back to the penthouse! And let me tell you, those arrow actually got stuck to our shells like targets and it hurts when you pull them out!" Raph explained.

Everyone groaned at that. "Wait a minute, I thought that a turtle's shell protects them from damage! How's that even possible?" Lana asked in confusion. "I'm noticing a few gaps between your plastrons and the soft parts of your bodies, more so than the average turtle." Lisa noted. "Plastrons?" Leni asked. "The part of a tortoise or turtle's shell that forms the underside." Lisa explained. "Oh! Now that you mentioned it, that must be where it covers the entire front torsos of our turtle friends here!" Leni replied after realizing what Lisa meant. "This is my life." Lisa said, looking at Leni. "Tell me about it." Raph said, looking at Mikey. "Anyway, as to answer Lana's question, while the shells of turtles and tortoises do provide protection for the animals in question, they aren't completely indestructible! In fact, there are plenty of animals that have powerful jaws that are strong enough to break though those shells in order to eat turtles and tortoises! Those animals include Alligators, Crocodiles, Raccoons, Skunks, Otters, Weasels, Foxes, Coyotes, Sharks, and, of course, Honey Badgers! As for predatory birds, they simply just pick up a turtle, carry them up to the sky, and then drop them down to ground, so that the impact of the fall would break their shells and kill them!" Lisa informed, causing Mikey to gulp in fright.

"But I'm with her, normal arrows wouldn't be able to pierce a turtle's shell." She added. "Must something to do with our mutation, I guess!" Donnie guessed. "Anyway, back with Splinter and I, as we were stuck in the past, I realized that there was only one way to fix everything and it was to turn Cody's Time Window into a temporal beacon that can focus on our arm gauntlets and lead us back home! With that, I drew up some schematics and put them in an envelope to deliver to the post office! Of course, Splinter advised me to use "small words"!" Donnie explained. "Meanwhile, Raph and I had just arrived at the penthouse! Soon, after looking through old letters, Serling simply just picked up the letter that he brought in earlier! After that, we grabbed the letter from Serling, opened it, and then read it! That's when we saw that it was schematics and instructions that Donnie drew up in the past for us to use on the Time Window!" Mikey explained. "Schematics and instructions you initially put off as nothing more than junk mail!" Raph reminded. "You really like to keep egging on me like that, don't ya?!" Mikey asked in annoyance. "Yep!" Raph said.

Then, Mikey got pelted by a dozen eggs, causing Raph to laugh at him hysterically. "HEY! WHO THREW THOSE EGGS AT ME?!" Mikey angrily asked. "Now you've really been EGGED! *CHUCKLE!* Get It?!" Said Luan as she was holding an egg carton that was completely empty. That joke caused Raph to laugh even harder while Mikey growled in annoyance. "Don't worry, you get used to it after about..." Lincoln said trying to think. "Not funny, Lincoln!" Luan said, getting at what her brother was saying. "Would someone please get this mess off of me?!" Mikey asked in annoyance. "I got it!" Sakura said, summoning some water and slamming it into Mikey. After the water washed off the egg yolks from Mikey, Sakura summoned a gust of wind to blow dry Mikey. "Thanks." Mikey said. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! Back with Cody and I in the year 2005, as the Utrom Shredder attacked, Cody could do nothing but watch on as I battled my foe, who was quick to notice that I looked different!" Leo explained. "Meanwhile, Mikey, Serling, and I were working on the Time Window, though the instructions Donnie sent weren't as easy as they seem! Then, we finished our work and activated the Time Window, but it failed to function! I got frustrated and then kicked the machine, which caused it to start working!" Raph explained. "Back with Splinter and I in the past, I had managed to finish mailing the missive! Splinter asked me when we can expect to be rescued, and I stated that if everything went as planned, it should be right about now! On cue, the alley was bathed in bright light as a time rift appeared!" Donnie explained. "Back with Cody and I in the year 2005, I continued my skirmish with the Utrom Shredder until a time rift opened behind me! I then yelled to Cody to run and then we both escaped through the portal while also evading from the Utrom Shredder!" Leo explained "Back at Cody's lab, Raph, Serling, and I had saw Splinter, Don, Leo and Cody materialize through the Time Window! The temporal beacon worked, but time and space was still collapsing! That's when we must find the source of the problem, which Cody deciphered to be located within the Chelsea Chasm!" Mikey explained.

"The what?" Everyone but Lisa asked. "A chasm in general is a deep fissure in the earth, rock, or another surface!" Lisa explained. "And the Chelsea Chasm is where Sh'Okanabo's ship was!" Leo explained. "Come to think of it, the fact that the chasm was located in Chelsea, Manhattan must indicate that that was an earthquake in that location sometime before the year 2105!" Lisa noted. "Yeah, we try not to think about that." Leo said. "Anyway, once we got to the Chelsea Chasm, we found Sh'Okanabo's ship and then pulled the Hovershell down and parked it there! Then, us Turtles, Splinter, and Cody found Sh'Okanabo and Viral in a panic, not knowing what to do about the Time Window that they had created! Cody offered to fix things when more rifts opened inside the spacecraft. Out of those windows came the Utrom Shredder and his crew of Foot ninjas! As the Foot attacked, Cody and Donnie rushed to the machine to make repairs. Sh'Okanabo decided to help the rest of us fend off the Foot in a temporary truce! Cody took note of the modifications to the Time Window and asked Viral if she and her master were attempting to move the entire Earth through time! However, Viral disappeared without giving an answer! Suddenly another rift opened, showing Raph and I from earlier on. With that, our present selves remembered that we must tell our past selves to go get the package! Once that was accomplished, us Turtles and Splinter, with Sh'Okanabo's help, finished off Shredder and the Foot and sent them all back into their rifts! With the enemies gone, Cody and Donnie finish fixing Sh'Okanabo's Time Window and it stabilized! All of the rifts were then sucked back into the machine, save for one final rift that remained open. It was a portal back to 2005! Us Turtles and Splinter saw our path back home and moved towards it as Cody said goodbye to us!" Mikey explained. "Unfortunately, we didn't take into account Sh'Okanabo taking advantage of the momentary lapse by grabbing Cody while his back was turned!" Leo explained.

"That's when we all leapt in to intervene! You see, we realized that we couldn't leave Cody in the evil alien's hands, so we did not enter the time rift before it sealed! Anyway, after Mikey grabbed Cody and pulled him away, Raph threw one of his sais and destroyed the enemy's time machine! With that, we all escape from the exploding craft and took off in the Hovershell while leaving a defeated Sh'Okanabo with nothing! Later at Cody's penthouse, we all finally took a good rest! Then, Cody found out from Officer Biggles that Chelsea Chasm was now empty, which meant that Sh'Okanabo was gone! Of course, the troubling question was how he obtained the plans for the Time Window in the first place!" Donnie explained. "Darius! He has access to all of Cody's files, and could very easily help Viral get her hands on the plans!" Lisa realized. "Exactly!" Leo confirmed.

"So, what happened next?" Asked Polly Pain. "Well, the next day, us Turtles and Cody were watching an old kung-fu flick when Starlee entered! She explained that her family was coming to visit that week and she needed help putting up with them, since she finds them to be incredibly annoying! We then offered our assistance and Splinter suggested a dinner to smooth things over!" Mikey explained. "Unfortunately, what we didn't know was that the Street Phantoms had broken Jammerhead, still in his comatose state from our last encounter, out of prison and had planned on reviving him!" Leo said. "Which they had managed to do, as you will all find out soon enough!" Mikey added. "Later, at Cody's penthouse, Starlee's family had arrived! While they were there, Starlee's overwhelming mother instantly begins her incessant nagging, including about how Earth was a dangerous place filled with criminals and thugs, much to everyone's dismay! Starlee, Cody and I then took our guests on a tour of O'Neil Tech. Unfortunately, Starlee's klutzy younger brother, Glaxxor, accidentally set off a laser that carved a trench in the floor! Cody and Starlee then took her family to see more of the facility while I stayed behind to clean up the mess by activating a couple of cleaning robots called Janibots! Suddenly, I was attacked by a new and improved Jammerhead, who came there for revenge! How improved, you ask? Well, apparently, Jammerhead had installed a disk into his brain that contained the data of all of the universe's greatest martial arts masters, both human and alien! Heck, he was able to copy my own skills as well! As I fought him, it was apparent that Jammerhead's new skills were definitely more than a match for me! Then, Jammerhead disarmed me and then knocked me unconscious! By the time I had woken up, Jammerhead was gone! So, I had decided to go and immediately warn my brothers and Master Splinter about Jammerhead's return!" Donnie explained.

"Considering Starlee's parents' already fragile opinions on Earth, I take it that wasn't easy." Lisa said. "No it wasn't!" Donnie answered. "Later, at the penthouse, while Cody, Serling, and Starlee were preparing dinner for Starlee's family and after Donnie told us about what happened, we tried to come up with a plan against Jammerhead! Unfortunately, we were all caught off guard as Jammerhead blew his way in with a bazooka! Then, us Turtles battled Jammerhead with Starlee's family just one room over. While the fight ensued, Splinter, Starlee and Cody took their visitors on a tour of the hanger to keep them away from the fight! While at the hanger, Cody and Starlee decided to take the family for a ride in the Hovershell in order to keep our fight against Jammerhead a secret! Sadly, it was too late as Raph crashed into the hanger and then the battle had moved inside the hanger! Upon seeing that, Starlee's mother furiously assumed that her daughter was hanging out with a violent Earth gang and began to drag her off! While that was happening, Jammerhead had sent Don, Leo, and I flying out the hanger window, 300 stories up!" Mikey, causing everyone to gasp in horror. "Fortunately, I was able to catch up to them with a Shell Speeder." Raph said.

That made everyone sigh in relief. "As soon as Raph caught up with us, I used my high tech nunchucks wrap around the Shell Speeder and then catch the rest of my brothers! As soon as we got back up into the hanger, us Turtles had discovered that Master Splinter was facing off against Jammerhead in a true battle of martial arts mastery!" Mikey explained. "While that was happening, Starlee was able to break free from her mom, saying she wouldn't abandon her friends in their time of need, working on finding out how Jammerhead was able to fight so well against us without any of the Street Phantoms' usual tricks!" Donnie explained. "While Cody and Starlee were at the lab and scanning Jammerhead for the source of his powers, us Turtles and Splinter were facing off against Jammerhead in the hanger! While we were able to briefly catch him off guard and hit him against the Big Wheel, the villain mocked us and then prepared to unleash his ultimate weapon, a giant energy ball chi-attack called the Ultimate Dragon Sphere Chi Cannon! Meanwhile, Starlee's scan revealed that Jammerhead had a chip implant that was giving him his powers! Then, Starlee figured out how to jam Jammerhead's signal by using the video camera that her dad has been using to film his trip to Earth! Starlee then replaced Jammerhead's martial arts programming with footage of her klutzy younger brother Glaxxor, causing the villain to become a complete buffoon! After Jammerhead gotten himself doused in Anti-Friction Gel, Raph went and delivered the knock-out punch, ending yet another threat from the Street Phantom leader! Later, we called Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers over and then Jammerhead was arrested and sent back to jail where he belongs!" Mikey explained, causing everyone to burst out in laughter over Jammerhead's incredibly humiliating defeat.

"Even better, Starlee's mom was now willing to let her stay on Earth." Donnie said. "And while we never saw Jammerhead or the Street Phantoms again after that, we heard rumors about him receiving a 'welcome home' from some of the other prisoners, if you know what I'm saying." Mikey said. "Oooooh! I get it! Jammerhead must have been beaten black and blue by the other inmates after ticking them off, right?" Zach surmised. "From what we hear, yes." Mikey said. "Anyway, not long after that, we had another encounter with Torbin Zixx." Leo said. "It started at O'Neil Tech, as us Turtles raced down a corridor with the intruder alarm going off! We then reached the vault and found out who the burglar was! He was none other than the enigmatic Torbin Zixx! Raph cornered the thief and attacked, only to discover that Zixx was using a hologram to trick him again! The real Torbin was standing right behind us and ran for the elevator, heading for the top floors! We gave chase and once again cornered the thief, who stood in front of a huge open window! As us Turtles closed in on him, Torbin did a backwards flip out of the opening and signaled his flying speeder, which he landed in gracefully! The burglar saluted us and flew off. Then, us Turtles gave chase on our Shell Speeders and followed the thief to the Moonport! As we arrived at the Moonport, us Turtles had discovered that Torbin had boarded a cargo ship and was about to launch into space! We then scrambled onto the craft and stood on the hatch while Donnie hurriedly tried to pick the lock! Then, the countdown begun and the ship was seconds away from launching, and us Turtles were still on its outside! Fortunately, Donnie had managed to hack the lock to allow the hatch to open! As soon that happened, us Turtles immediately hopped in before the hatch closed up again, meaning that we had just barely made it into the ship before it launched!" Mikey explained.

"We continued to look for Torbin, finding him in the cockpit, where he reveals he wanted us to follow him." Leo started saying. "Apparently, he needed our help in delivering a cargo he had that was aid for a disaster zone called Balaraphon! Zixx explained that he needed us Turtles help him in case a Triceraton gang finds us! Just then, a Triceraton pirate vessel arrived and begins firing on the cargo ship. Torbin handed us some lab coats for disguises and told us to play along as he went off somewhere to hide! With that, the two ships connected and the Triceraton thugs had boarded in inside!" Mikey explained. "Once again on the wrong side of a Triceraton conflict. How awful." Lisa said. "You got that right." Raph said. "Once the Triceratons boarded Zixx's ship, we met their leader, a scarred, one horn broken off, Triceraton named Boss Zukko." Leo said.

"As the Triceratons began searching the ship for Torbin, Leo and I played dumb by pretending to be doctors while Donnie and Raph had grabbed some spacesuits and were outside trying to break the attached ships apart. As the Triceratons searched the cargo ship, they found Torbin! Apparently, Zixx had screwed them over on deals in the past as Zukko was clearly mad at him! With that, Leo and I kicked into action and battled the Triceraton thugs!" Mikey explained. "Meanwhile, Donnie and I were on the outside of the Triceraton ship when suddenly, a hatch opened and a group of Triceratons in spacesuits came out, ready to brawl! As Donnie worked on the Triceraton ship circuitry, I was fending off the pirates!" Raph explained. "Back inside the cargo ship, Leo and I took out more thugs while Zixx was able to knock Boss Zukko out by tricking him into slamming into cargo boxes with holograms, resulting in Skill losing another horn, and then drop a crate on top of him with a pickup crane!" Mikey explained. "Outside, I had managed to defeat the Triceratons, but Donnie couldn't override the security systems! Not only that, but my visor was cracked in the battle and I was in grave danger, so I didn't have time to spare! That's when I stabbed my sai into the control panel, causing it to short circuit! Fortunately that brute-force plan of mine worked and Don and I dived back into the cargo ship just as said ship blasted off!" Raph explained. Back inside, Boss Zukko and his defeated crew had been put into an escape pod! Zukko had threatened us Turtles and then Leo launched the pirates into space!" Mikey explained.

"At least Zukko wasn't mad about some dumb space cruiser!" Sakura said, inciting a group laugh at that inside joke. "Lincoln, seriously, I will pay you 100 dollars to marry this girl in 10 years!" Luan told him. "With a sense of humor like that, she's definitely a keeper!" She added. That caused Lincoln to blush a little while smiling a bit. "Eventually, we finally made it to Balaraphon, where we delivered the load of supplies to a grateful alien named Raxis. After he and his fellow aliens thanked us, we went back to the ship and took off! However, while we were aboard the cargo chip, Donnie uses a scanner and learned that the boxes holding the supplies are made out of a highly explosive material called Deutronium! That meant that we had been tricked into smuggling explosives! As we were about to give Torbin Zixx some hard justice, we discovered that he was just another hologram, because the real Zixx never left Balaraphon! We were so disgusted that we were left with no choice but to fly back to Earth via autopilot!" Raph explained, much to everyone's anger and disgust. "Yeah, that's basically how we felt." Raph said. "Not long after we got back, a chain of events happened that started the downfall of Darius Dunn." Leo started.

"It all started when Cody was practicing his ninjutsu skills with Leo on the rooftop of his penthouse while Raph, Mikey and I cheered him on. As Cody flailed away at our team leader, Leo easily dodged the attacks and told Cody that he must learn to be like water! Then, Leo explained that Cody must learn how to follow the path of least resistance and allow the opponent to expend all of his energy as thag would give him the upper hand and allow him to defeat even the mightiest opponent! That's when my alarm went off and then we had to meet Master Splinter at a historical museum where our Sensei planned to view all of the episodes of his favorite soap opera that he had missed! However, Cody bowed out of the engagement and headed to O'Neil Tech for some tinkering while his Uncle Darius was away!" Donnie explained. "When Cody arrived at O'Neil Tech, he saw Darius in a meeting with Zukko." Leo said. "The Triceraton you guys sent flying in a cargo ship?" Lola asked. "The very same." Leo confirmed.

"Cody then stealthily followed his uncle and the Triceraton inside O'Neil Tech where they meet inside a room called the Hot House, where it was full of robots that were manufacturing weapons! Darius and Zukko continued their arms deal while Cody snuck off and called us Turtles! He then told us to notify the Peacekeepers and hurry down to O'Neil Tech!" Mikey explained. "Unfortunately, it seems Darius was smarter then we thought, as when we and Constable Biggles arrived, instead of seeing what Cody told us, we found an Orchid Garden right were the Hot House was!" Leo said. That really made everyone angry, especially Liam. "WHY THAT GALDANG-CONSARNED-RAPSCALLION-BLANKITY-BLANK-BLANK-BLANK-HE'S-TRYIN-TA-DO?! OF ALL THE LOW, DIRTY, SNEAKY, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING TRICKS, THIS IS REALLY THE LOWEST!" Liam angrily yelled, much to the shock of the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter. "Dang, Liam!" Lincoln said. "I take it Constable Biggles wasn't too happy about being called for what seemed like a false alarm?" Clyde asked. "To say the least." Leo confirmed.

"When the Peacekeepers scanned the room, they found nothing! At the same time, I noticed a slight static tingle and we all knew that something was up! Then, an angry Darius Dunn, as Cody's legal guardian, had the police officers escort Cody back to the penthouse for confinement!" Donnie explained. "And of course, since they didn't find anything to suggest otherwise, they believed Darius and thought that Cody was just a teen pulling prank calls." Leo explained. "After Darius had Cody locked up in his room, Leo, Donnie, and I had confounded Serling and locked him in a closet so that we could get inside Cody's room, since his uncle forbade us to visit him!" Mikey explained. "While my brothers were with Cody, I was on the rooftops overlooking O'Neil Tech, using high-tech binoculars to monitor the loading docks! As I was watching, Boss Zukko and his thugs arrived and began to load crates of weapons, disguised as orchid crates, into their ship!" Raph explained. "As soon as Raph gave us the news, us Turtles and Cody decided that it was time to act! Cody then climbed inside his exo-suit, the Turtle X, and then we immediately raced off to face our foes!" Mikey explained.

"We were able to sneak back into the O'Neil Tech building, and found our way back into the so called 'Orchid Garden' just as Triceratons appeared, carrying their cargo!" Leo said. "As soon as we quickly took down the munitions smugglers, I noticed that they were wearing high tech bracelets, just like the one Darius had on earlier! As Leo and I grabbed the bracelets, the others formed a line behind us and then we all walked forward while shimmering into the weapons factory! Cody explained that the bracelets, called Space Phasing Generators, operate on a field that allows two rooms to co-exist in the same space!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's surprise. "That genius! Why haven't I thought about that!?" Lisa said frustrated. "Unfortunately, when we entered the room, it didn't take Darius long to find us." Leo said. "In fact, when Darius found us, he was sporting his Mega-Battlesuit! As Cody stepped towards Darius in outrage, he was instantly cut off from us Turtles by a steel security wall! While Cody and Darius were separated from us Turtles, we ourselves were attacked by the Dark Turtles, who were still under Darius's employ!" Mikey explained.

"Those evil copies again?!" Lincoln asked in frustration. "Yep! Them Again!" Raph confirmed. "As we faced off against our evil clones, Cody battled Darius! From what Cody told us later on, Darius was planning on framing us as the attackers and have Cody sent far off to be sequestered in a private facility, which would allow Darius to have full control over O'Neil Tech!" Donnie explained. "Of course. Is there any lengths that megalomaniac wouldn't go through to gain control over it?" Lisa asked rhetorically. "From what we experienced, not really." Mikey answered. "With the battle of the bots ensuing, Darius fired his rockets at Cody, blasting a hole in the floor that Cody fell through to the room below! Back with us Turtles, as we had battled our dark counterparts, we took out our enemies one by one, leaving Dark Leo as the last clone standing! Meanwhile, Cody was in the lobby of O'Neil Tech with Darius closing in on him! As Darius fired his weapons, Cody used his energy staff to deflect the blasts and was then sent flying across the room! But Darius pushed on and it seemed Cody was on the verge of defeat! Back with us Turtles, Don used a futuristic forklift to send Dark Leo crashing through the security wall! Having defeated all of our clones, we then rushed to find Cody!" Mikey explained.

"But with Cody, he remembered my earlier words on 'being like water, and allowing his opponent to expend all his energy'." Leo started explaining. "Ah, a classic ninja technique. One of the first things we were taught." Gorf said. "Cody then focused the Turtle X's power into its shields as Darius loomed over him and fired a barrage of plasma blasts to finish him off! Dunn fired on his nephew repeatedly until he eventually depleted the power in his Battle Suit! Once that happened, Cody, who had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, quickly defeated the weaponless Darius and fired him from O'Neil Tech! Afterwards, us Turtles had arrived to help Cody, but Darius had one last trick up his sleeve and used his Battle Suit's jetpack to escape! Cody was worried about the company now that he had to fix things on his own, but we reminded him that we would support him all the way!" Mikey explained. "A few days later, we started preparing for Cody's birthday." Leo said. "Specifically, it was his 15th birthday! As we were getting ready, Starlee was working in the O'Neil Tech lab and was about to go meet Cody at the movies to keep him busy! While we were preparing for Cody's surprise party, Serling showed us that he had made a home video of his times with Cody throughout his life, from infancy on! However, we were soon interrupted when Starlee appeared on the vid-phone and told us that Turtle X had just wrecked her lab! We told her to sit tight as a very confused Cody walked in! Of course, that meant that the surprise party was a bust!" Donnie explained.

"We know the feeling." The Louds said, looking at Leni, who chuckled nervously. "Long story short, Leni is notorious for spoiling surprise parties!" Clyde explained. "Well, in my defense, you guys are terrible at planning them!" Leni said, causing her brother, sisters, and father to remember the surprise party they had planned for Rita. "Ooh! She's got us there, you guys!" Luna exclaimed in admittance. "Long story short, we were planning a surprise party for Mom, without Leni's involvement for obvious reasons, but things didn't exactly go according to plan!" Lincoln explained. Aya's eyes flashed as she cringed. "I don't need to hear what you mean. It's all over your guys' auras. Black streamers? Really, Lucy? Where did you think that would be a good idea for anyone but the rest of the Jr. Morticians Club?" She asked. "Fair point." Lucy admitted. "And Lana, seriously? You use inflated chewed-up bubble gum in place of balloons?! Don't you know how gross that is?!" Aya asked further. "This is why we made Leni the family's official party planner." Lincoln deadpanned.

"You know, Leni and her tendency to spoil surprise parties reminds me of my cousin Hattie and her habit of spoiling movies!" Liam noted. "We try not to invite her to new ones." He added. "Ugh! Movie spoilers! Those are the worst kind of spoilers ever, because they take the fun out of seeing a new movie before you get the chance to see it!" Mikey stated in agreement to Liam and his dislike towards Hattie's habit of spoiling movies. "HEY! I RESENT THAT REMARK!" Shouted Hattie, who had suddenly appeared in front of everyone and caused them jump up in fright, especially Mikey, who let out a girlish scream. "And I'll have you know, I haven't said anything about what Aquilis has planned involving that trigg-." Hattie started saying, only for Liam to shove a cookie in her mouth. "*SIGH!* Everyone, meet Cousin Hattie!" Liam said as he properly introduced his cousin to everyone. "Hi, nice to meet you. But how did you get down here?" Sakura asked. "And what's this I hear about Aquilis?" Toadus asked curiously. Hattie opened her mouth, only for Liam to shove another cookie in it. "Sorry, plot demands that remains secret." Liam said, confusing everyone.

"As for how she knows how to get here, I actually told her, since she's family!" Liam admitted. "Eh, I guess that's okay. Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Oh! Right! When Cody saw what happened to Starlee, we all ran to the hangar and jumped into the Hovershell! Inside the Hovershell, us Turtles, Splinter, Cody and Serling were all on our way to O'Neil Tech! As soon as the ship reached its destination, Turtle X blasted a hole in the wall and attacked us! As Turtle X fired, the Hovershell flew out of control, right between a group of oncoming Peacekeeper vehicles! Fortunately, Donnie managed to get the controls just in time and then we made our way back to O'Neil Tech! After arriving at O'Neil Tech, our group had found Turtle X in Darius' old office and then we attacked the mechanical menace! The fight quickly moved to the street, where Splinter showed us that we could use our opponent's weaponry to our advantage, to which we followed suit! As Turtle X fired away at us Turtles, it's misfires caused an overhanging bridge to crumble and bury the rogue robot in a pile of rubble!" Mikey explained.

"Too bad that wouldn't have worked on the Termin-" Hattie started saying, only for Liam to shove another cookie in her mouth. "Not much of a spoiler there, since me and my bros saw "The Terminator" on TV before anyway!" Mikey noted. "Force of habit." Liam said. "Anyway, as us Turtles, Splinter, Serling, Starlee, and Cody approached Turtle X to see who was controlling it, we all opened it, only to discover that the 'bot was being controlled via remote. Unexpectedly, Turtle X blasted through the rubble and grabbed Cody, trapping him inside its control chamber before it fled! As we chased our quarry in the Hovershell, Cody demanded to know who had commandeered his pet project! That's when Darius Dunn appeared via the holo-monitor and mocked him!" Mikey explained, much to everyone's shock and anger. "This Darius guy is someone I wouldn't mind sinking my fangs into!" Aurachnid whispered creepily. "I'm inclined to agree with you, partner." Clyde said.

"As the Hovershell pursued Turtle X, Donnie was able to locate Darius' signal. We all decided that Raph and Splinter would use it to track down the psychotic uncle while the rest of us try to help Cody! Then, the Hovershell quickly splits into two, allowing Raph and Splinter to take the tank section of the vehicle while the rest of us stayed in flight! Meanwhile, at the penthouse, the Turtle X crashed in and started to destroy Cody's home and prized collection of memorabilia our timeline! We had arrived, Donnie and Starlee headed for the lab, hoping to cook up an anti-virus and regain control of the bot, while Mikey and I went and battled the robot head on!" Leo explained. "He sent Cody's prized project to destroy your memorabilia? That's too far man!" Lincoln said, Clyde and his male friends nodding in agreement. "Yeah, being a collector of sorts myself, I definitely agree with you guys on that!" Mikey noted. "Meanwhile, Splinter and I had followed the signal to the middle of the East River! That's when the tank quickly converted into its amphibious form and headed into the water, where we had found a tunnel to an underwater facility! As we had entered it, we discovered that Darius was controlling Turtle X via his own battle armor! Every move that Dunn had made was copied by Turtle X!" Raph explained.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Lisa asked. "Anyway, when we saw him, I was the first one to strike, only to be easily knocked aside! Then, Master Splinter came in and proved to be a far better match against Darius by easily dodging his missiles and lasers! Then, I woke up and took the chance by throwing my sais at the back of Darius's mech suit legs, causing him to be stunned long enough for Master Splinter to knock him down! However, just as Don and Starlee finish creating the anti-virus, Darius had recovered and grabbed Master Splinter and I with mechanical tentacles, which consequently made Turtle X grab Leo and Mikey with mechanical tentacles of its own! Fortunately, I was able to get an arm free and jam my sais into Darius's control unit! That caused Darius to release control over Turtle X as well as his grasp of both me and Master Splinter as well as Leo and Mikey! But then, a failsafe Darius installed caused Turtle X to immediately began to fire all of its weapons in a rapid fury until it started to overload! Dunn informs Splinter and I that the machine would continue its rampage until it overheats and then explodes, with Cody trapped inside! With that, Darius had escaped from the facility with a maniacal laugh!" Raph explained, causing everyone to get really angry.

"Okay, now the guy doesn't even deserve to be called a human being, let alone a legal guardian!" Rita snapped. Sakura Nodding In Agreement. "All things aside, we all do agree on one thing, Darius Dunn is bad to the bone, and not in the good way!" Luna stated. "Indeed." Leo said. "The fact that he was willing to kill his own nephew without remorse makes Darius Dunn as bad as our own uncle Cerberion!" Andros angrily stated, much to the Turtles' surprise and confusion. "Who?" Mikey asked. "A Cerberus themed Animarius who is also known as 'Hell's Watchdog'. He's one of the most powerful member of King Draco's army, second only to King Draco himself. And he's also the one who..." Sakura said, tearing up, looking at the picture of her and her family. "WHO KILLED MY PARENTS AND ONIICHAN!" She finished as she then burst into tears and cried loudly. She then grabbed Lincoln tightly and cried into his shirt. "Dude." Mikey said shocked. "He's also sworn to be the one who ends Sakura's bloodline by ending her himself, instructing every soldier to not kill her and save her for him." Phixia explained.

"As for how he's our uncle to begin with, it's because he is also our mother's older brother!" Andros explained. "But you guys are sphinxes?" Mikey said. "It's complicated." Andros and Phixia said. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Oh, right! As soon as Turtle X, which was still holding Cody prisoner, escaped from the building, it blasted through the city! With little time to spare before the 'bot self-destructs, Serling intervened and begins to upload the anti-virus into Turtle X, which fought back viscously! With only seconds left, Serling finished uploading the anti-virus and freed Cody! But, the valiant mechanical servant had suffered too much damage in the effort and he crashed at Cody's feet. Then, Cody rushed to his friend's side and Serling was able to show him the video that he made for his birthday! Once the images of Cody's early childhood had ended, Serling's eyes went dark! With tears in his eyes, Cody vowed to revive his robotic ally!" Donnie explained. This got everyone tearing up. "Fortunately, Cody did manage to repair Serling! Not only that, but he actually upgraded him, by giving Serling a new security code that alllows him to transform into a more modern Turtle X!" Mikey explained.

"Cool!" The boys all said. "So, what happened next?" Asked Stella. "Unfortunately, Darius got away. But fortunately, Cody effectively fired him before all that happened." Leo said. "Of course, the next day, at the penthouse, Cody was swamped with O'Neil Tech work left behind by Darius's departure! As we looked at the stuff that Cody was working on, we had learned that every year, O'Neil Tech enters an international road race, called the Centri-Fuze, and the next one was coming up! That's when we decided to enter the race using a tricked out version of the Hovershell!" Raph explained. "Unfortunately, Triple Threat, the wrestler I told you about before, got the same idea." Raph said. "Apparently, his plan was to steal all of the futuristic race cars during race and sell them for money!" Mikey explained. "Overcompensate, much?" Lynn joked.

"Of course, we didn't realize he was in the race until after he tried to sabotage the Hovershell with a tiny robot! Fortunately, Donnie was able to get us back to the ground safely after the sabotage resulted in it going out of control! Then, with the help of a kid named Falcon, we were able to fix the Hovershell and get back to the race as well as make Falcon an official member of our racing team for his help! Along the way, we saw Triple Threat using his tank to fire tractor beams to capture the cars while he then tossed his insect-like mini-bots at them, so that said robots would enter the vehicles, push the drivers out, and then allow Triple Threat to remotely control the race cars!" Mikey explained. "Despicable!" Lynn shouted. "Indeed." Leo said. "After Triple Threat noticed us and tried to climb onboard the Hovershell, Leo and I knocked him off, though not before got ourselves flown off of the Hovershell and into one of the stolen race cars!" Mikey explained.

"Cool. Dangerous, but cool." Lynn said. "Triple Threat then used his stolen cars to push the Hovershell towards a growing wall of flames! As the Hover Shell headed towards the fire wall, some barrels exploded! The debris created a ramp that Donnie used to jump over the flames! Then, Triple Threat hopped back into his ride while Leo and Mikey break inside the car they landed on! Meanwhile, Falcon helped us navigate the Hovershell through a series of underground tunnels to get us back in the race!" Raph explained. "Back at the race, Triple Threat continued to bot-jack the rest of the vehicles just as Mikey and I took control of the one we were in. Then, the Hovershell emerged from the tunnel and was back on course! That's when Triple Threat sent his bot-jacked, remote-controlled vehicles at it and they rammed the Hovershell into the guardrail, threatening to knock it over the cliff! Luckily, Mikey and I, in the "Command Cruiser", were right behind and rammed Triple Threat, who dropped his remote and lost control of the other vehicles. After that, the Hovershell escaped! Then, Triple Threat began firing at us! Unfortunately, the shots were so loud, that it caused an avalanche that buried all of the cars in a torrent of snow, including Triple Threat's Tank and the Hovershell!" Leo explained.

"We were able to get out of the snow, and got ready to confront Triple Threat, but he decided to try and win the race, so he took Falcon hostage and I started chasing him on my motorcycle." Raph said. "You have a motorcycle?! Sweet!" Lynn said while impressed by the fact that Raph had a motorcycle. "These guys only have dirt bikes." Lynn said, pointing to the riders. "We're 12 and 13! It's the only thing we can ride with that!" Lincoln pointed out. "Also, last I checked, dirt bikes are in fact a type of motorcycle!" Clyde added. "And don't forget our giant jets that can combine into a robot, Lynn-neechan." Sakura pointed out. "Oh! Right! Sorry about that, guys!" Lynn apologized in a sheepish smile. "Apology accepted, Lynn-neechan! Anyway, you were saying?" Said Sakura. "Right, while on my motorcycle, which I like to call the Shell Cycle, I had caught up with Triple Threat, grabbed Falcon, and zoomed off towards the finish line! Triple Threat floored his tank and both vehicles were neck and neck! Just as we were approaching the finish line, the Hovershell came up from behind and used its grappling hook to snare Triple Threat's tank just before it crossed the line!That caused Triple Threat to be thrown from his vehicle while Falcon and I collected the checkered flag! Then, Constable Biggles arrested Triple Threat and sent him back to jail! As for Falcon, who originally didn't like motorcycles, he changed his mind about them and decided that a motorcycle is extremely awesome!" Raph explained.

"Duh!" Lynn said. "Not long after that, we had another encounter with Bishop, and ran into another 'old friend' of ours." Leo said. "And who's this 'old friend' of yours?" Asked Lincoln. "None other than Baxter Stockman!" Leo said, confusing Lisa. "Wha? But how-" She said, shorting out. "Allow us to explain." Donnie said. "It all started when President Bishop called us Turtles over for an emergency! Upon entering, however, we were all attacked by a big black one-eyed monster that looked like T-Rex with a spiny back, five horns, razor-sharp teeth, and a long extendable tongue that shoots out corrosive acid!" Mikey explained. "Cool!" Lana said. "For you, maybe!" Lola retorted in disgust. "Once that happened, Bishop and us Turtles battled the creature, but it was a tough fight. We were forced to flee and smash through auditorium doors where a conference was taking place. Then, the monster followed right behind us! Us Turtles immediately helped the diplomats flee while Bishop fired a laser at the beast! Then, the alien creature used its giant tongue to lash out at us, but Leo was able to knock a chandelier on top of it, which electrocuted the monster and scared it off! No sooner did the creature disappeared, a howl and low rumbling started to shake the building! Outside of the PGA HQ, Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers arrived to investigate just as us Turtles and Bishop came crashing outside, running for our lives! Why, you ask? Because, right behind us wasa gigantic version of the monster we had just been battling! We then hopped into Bishop's limousine and took off, with the behemoth hot on our tail! Unfortunately, Bishop's vehicle got damaged by the monster and crashed in Central Park, where the creature grabbed Bishop and tunneled into the ground! Us Turtles followy the trail and found ourselves in a huge underground laboratory! There, we found Bishop being held prisoner!" Mikey explained.

"Woah!" Everyone said. "When we asked Bishop what was going on, he said he felt we needed to know just what had happened to him in the 100 years it had been since we saw him in 2005." Leo started saying. "With that, the PGA President told us Turtles that the monsters were actually genetically mutated engines of destruction, forged from DNA of alien species, that he helped create! Bishop explained to us that 50 years ago, before he became president of the Pan-Galactic Alliance, he helped Baxter Stockman create the monsters, which the bad doctor dubbed "organic Mousers"! What's more, they also created more than one type!" Mikey explained, much to everyone's shock. "That's troublesome." Lisa noted. "When Bishop was a secret lab with Baxter Stockman, the two were creating an army of alien-monster-Mouser hybrids that would supposedly protect the Earth from aliens! But, something went horribly wrong with one of Baxter's experiments and the lab was destroyed! Bishop and Stockman were cut off from one another as the facility began to collapse! Unexpectedly, Bishop was rescued by one of his captive aliens! After having been stunned by that act of compassion, Bishop decided to turn over a new leaf! After never knowing about what happened to Stockman or his genetic monstrosities and presumed that they all died in the accident, Bishop formed the Pan-Galactic Alliance and decided to make peace with other life forms instead of war!" Donnie explained.

"Nice to see he eventually learns the error of his ways." Lisa said. "But as we found out, Stockman wasn't gone." Leo explained. "As soon as Bishop's story had ended, Stockman had arrived along with three huge winged Mousers! Then, Stockman explained that he had to combine his DNA with alien DNA to create his current hybrid self, which allowed his one-eyed brain to no longer require any external life support systems and would allow it to move on its own with green tentacles attached to it!" Donnie explained. "Now that's uber freaky!" Lola said. "Yeah! Not to mention sickening!" Stated Luan as she and the other Loud Sisters, along with Rita and Lynn Sr., started groaning in pain and turning green in sickness. "And speaking of sickening, I think we all need to get down immediately! Otherwise...!" Lynn said, right before Luna finished by shouting "PUKE FEST!", causing everyone else to gasp in shock. "Aurachnid-san?!" Sakura asked. "On it!" Aurachnid said, rapidly lowering the Louds to the floor where Gorf rapidly used his katana to cut them all free.

"Thank You!" Shouted Lori as she and the other Loud Sisters, along with Rita and Lynn Sr., immediately dashed to the emergency bathrooms and then loudly threw up in the toilets "BLEEEEEEEEEEGH!". "THE HORROR! THE BLOODY HORROR!" Shouted Luna, right before she threw up again. "Anyway, Stockman was mad at Bishop for supposedly abandoning him." Leo said as the family slowly returned to the group. "As us Turtles stood there in shock, Stockman pressed a remote that chirped the monster Mousers into action! As the beasts attacked us Turtles, Stockman planned to transfer his brain into Bishop's body! Then, Donnie quickly realized that the Mousers were being controlled via sound waves and then disabled the attack by using his bō to create the right frequency to scare them off! Then, Leo tried to reason with Baxter and get him to stop his attack on Bishop! Of course, Donnie's sound waves had weakened the old structure and the ceiling started to collapse! As soon as that happened, Leo saved Bishop as Stockman was pinned under some debris! We attempted to escape as machines begin to explode around us and fires filled the room, but Bishop wouldn't leave Stockman behind! So, he risked his life to save the mad scientist, and just in the nick of time!" Mikey explained. "He must really have changed if he saved that psycho!" Lola said.

"Indeed, he had!" Leo replied. " Later on, at the Pan-Galactic Alliance headquarters, Bishop showed Baxter plans to recreate Stockman's human body, which had become a simple procedure in the year 2105, given their futuristic technology and genetic knowledge! Stockman was, naturally, suspicious, asking if Bishop intended to use that as a way to keep Baxter toiling away as a slave in a secret lab again! Fortunately, Bishop allayed Baxter's fears by saying that the Department of Agriculture was interested in Baxter's Organic Mouser research and would like to talk to him! Surprised, Baxter decided to give the new world a chance and agreed, asking Bishop if there was currently a Vice President position! Raph was confounded by our two enemies turning out to be good guys, and was once again exasperated by the future! Leo, however, felt that it means there might be a chance that ALL the monsters and villains in our lives could change! Although, Mikey was upset that we would stop doing our job for stopping the bad guys because of their redemption, but Raph told him that it wouldn't be a problem!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's shock and surprise. "It makes sense. Ryu gave Gorf and I a chance, which we were happy to accept." Toadus pointed out.

"Aya, and everyone else, gave me and Phixia a chance as well after we learned the whole truth about how evil King Draco and the Animarius Empire really is, as well as when we learned from Aya's aura reading abilities that our mother doesn't actually care about us and only cared about herself!" Andros added, much to Master Splinter's shock and surprise. "And as an added bonus, she shared the good fortune that came with her 10th birthday." Phixia said, pointing to her chest. "Okay, I don't get that last part!" Mikey said in confusion. "You see, I'm descended from African Witchdoctors. And as a result of my heritage, I have certain powers. My Werehyena form and my aura reading to name a few. All the women in my family on my unfortunately late mother's side has them. It's a tradition in my family for a girl to drink a special potion on our 10th birthday. This potion only works on girls, boys only taste fruit smoothies." Aya explained.

"In case you didn't get the hint, any girl who drinks that potion gets a large chest, mainly to make themselves more attractive and to symbolize female maturity! Plus, those with magical abilities actually get a boost in power in addition to the chest growth!" She added, causing Mikey to be rather creeped out by what potion does to girls. "And just like my, equally unfortunately late older sister did, when it was my turn to drink the potion, I decided to share the good fortune with some of my friends." Aya said. "And that includes me, which is a good thing for me since the girls in my family tend to be late bloomers and I was really sensitive about being called flat-chested by other females! Plus, when I drank that potion, it reacted to my Nature Fairy DNA and allowed me to unlock a new ability, these fairy wings!" Sakura added as she then closed her eyes and then allowed her butterfly-like wings to unfurl from her back, much to the awe and amazement of the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter. "Whoa! Impressive Wingspan!" Donnie exclaimed in amazement.

Sakura retracted her wings. "We have a few friends in Great Lakes City who drank it too." She explained. "And Ronnie Anne is one of them!" Lincoln added. "Ahem! Aren't you forgetting some people?" Lynn Loud Jr asked in slight annoyance. "Oh! Right! Sorry, Lynn!" Lincoln answered in apology. "Two of my older sisters drank the potion as well! Specifically, Lynn and Luan!" He explained. "Which is something that I'm quite proud of, since nobody would mistake me for a boy anymore!" Said Lynn in pride. "By the way, Luna-neechan, how did your boyfriend Benny react when he saw your new look at high school earlier today?" Sakura asked in curiosity. Luan chuckled. "Like Lincoln does whenever he sees a pretty girl. He was all 'Ba...ba...ba.' He was like a sheep!" Luan said laughing. Lincoln looked at Sakura nervously. "Not the jealous type, I've told you repeatedly." Sakura said.

"Speaking of jealousy, when the girls in my class saw my new look, they were so jealous that they wouldn't stop asking me so many questions about it!" Luan noted. "Most of the eighth graders, the ones that didn't attend Aya's birthday party that is, asked me a lot of questions about my new look as well! Of course, the worse thing that happened to me today was during my hall monitor duties when I caught Chandler McCann in the trashcan and written him up for littering, only for to him not only notice my new look, but he had the audacity to poke me in the chest, so I got so angry that dragged him all the way to the principal's office in order for him to be properly punished for that!" She added in anger. "Trust us, Chandler is not someone you want to take pity on." Lincoln said, speaking from experience.

"And believe me, my husband and I had a very long talk with Chandler's parents after I got a phone call from the principal about that very incident!" Rita added while Lynn Sr. nodded in agreement. "We don't know what happened to him afterwards, but based on what we heard on the phone, we're not sure we want to." Lynn Sr. said. "Actually, from what Lynn-neechan told us, Chandler McCann got a month of detention for littering and two months in-school suspension for sexual harassment!" Sakura explained. "I can only imagine the kind of trouble he got into at home." Sakura added. "Thankfully, I wasn't harassed like what happened to Lynn, but a lot of the girls my class were a little jealous when they saw me and Duafe with our new looks and also started asking me questions, which I was able to properly explain to them! Heck, even the fifth graders were jealous, since I didn't invite them to my birthday party due to the fact that I didn't interact with them as much as the girls from my own grade! Of course, they also sent me requests for me to make potions for them for their own upcoming birthdays!" Aya explained.

"But it's not as easy as it sounds. For starters, I need Calabashes, and the kind I need isn't exactly easy to find here in the US." She said. "And another thing, while most of the ingredients I need are common here in American grocery stores, the rest of them are rather exotic, namely the Jackfruit Flesh, Passion Fruit Juice, Camel Milk, and, of course, Honey made from African Honeybees!" Aya added. "Just who came up with that recipe?" Mikey asked in confusion. "That would be my ancestor, Ofui! She's rather eccentric, to say the least!" Aya answered. "Believe me, we know the type." Raph said. "Anyway, not long after that, we had another encounter with Darius and the Dark Turtles. Although, the outcome just might surprise you." Leo said. "It started at the penthouse where us Turtles were training with Cody and Master Splinter! Suddenly, we heard an explosion, so we went up to the rooftop to see that defense systems were active! Then, we looked up and saw the Dark Turtles swooping down in their own dark version of the Hovershell called Terrorpin! Then, the Terrorpin destroyed the defense systems and hovered down a little to allow Dark Leo, Dark Raph, and Dark Mikey to jump down from it while Dark Donnie stayed inside to pilot it! Afterwards, the three Dark Turtles ran towards us and attacked! As us Turtles and Splinter battled our foes on the roof, Cody was left defenseless standing near the edge! While flying the Terrorpin, Dark Donnie set his sights on Cody and fired a laser beam at him!" Mikey explained.

Lana groaned. "Those creeps give turtles a bad name." She complained. "You can say that again." Mikey said. "Interestingly, Dark Leo actually dove in front of Cody and the blast, taking the full hit!" Leo revealed to everyone's surprise. "After their leader dropped unconscious onto the ground, the other three Dark Turtles took off in the Terrorpin a d left their wounded brother behind! With Dark Leo having just saved Cody's life, my brothers, along with Master Splinter and Cody, decided to take him into the penthouse and help him, much to my own chagrin since I believe that the clone had a trick up his sleeve!" Raph explained. "Easy to see why." Lisa said. "Soon, we were at medical unit inside Cody's penthouse where Dark Leo had been taken to recover from his wounds! After being unconscious for almost a week, Dark Leo had finally woken, though he did not accept our hospitality at first! After weeks had went by and Dark Leo was getting better, Cody came up with an idea that we should treat Dark Leo like a guest instead of a prisoner and teach him about kindness and other positive things! So, the first thing we did was bring Dark Leo over to the dinner and, boy, he was hungry! He practically ate up all the food before the rest of us could get some!" Mikey explained. "Reminds me of someone we all know." Lincoln said, glaring at Lynn. "Cheap shot." Lynn said. "A few weeks go by, and with the exception of Raph, we start thinking that he may not be truly evil." Leo said.

"Donnie then tested Dark Leo's strength in the Turtle Dojo and we learned that he had almost completely recovered from his injury! Later that night, told Dark Leo an old story Master Splinter told me about, the Scorpion and the Frog! In that story, the scorpion asks the amphibian for a ride across the pond. At first the frog is afraid, but he decides to trust the scorpion as long as it promises not to sting him. The scorpion promises not to sting and the frog begins to swim across the pond, carrying the poisonous arachnid on his back. Half way across, the scorpion stings the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why it stung him, it replied "Because it's my nature."! After I finished that story, I talked with my evil twin and offered him a choice, leave in the custody of the peacekeepers or stay with the Turtles! Then, after expressed my belief that Dark Leo could change his evil ways if he really tried, I left the room to let my counterpart ponder the moral of the tale!" Leo explained, though, unfortunately, the mention of a scorpion actually caused Aurachnid to shiver in fright. "Did you have to use an analogy involving a scorpion?" Aurachnid asked. "A classic tale of caution." Toadus said. "Ryu told us it and several other human folktales." He said.

"I'm guessing the moral of that story is to "Never Trust A Scorpion!"! Seriously, when those things invaded the temple that me and my fellow spiders were living in, they showed no mercy! Most of us tried to run to the safety of our webs while others tried to fight them off! Unfortunately, for some of those that were fighting those things or those that didn't make it to safety in time, they were stung to death and eaten by those scorpions! It Was A Massacre, Man! A Genuine Massacre!" Aurachnid ranted out before he started crying in anguish. "He has issues." Clyde said. Then, Aya went to Aurachnid's side and then her eyes flashed as she read his aura and memories. "You poor thing!" She said, allowing the golden spider to climb onto her hand. "I can see that was very traumatic for you!" She said, gently caressing Aurachnid's back.

"Even worse! I was one of the spiders that helped my fellow spiders fight off the scorpions! I lost a lot of my spider friends to those things! I myself was close enough to almost get stung by one! Thankfully, our fight with the scorpions was over after a young human boy, who was from the tribe that worships the Spider God Kwaku Anansi, entered the temple, helped us all to safety, and even rescued me while he smashed one of the scorpions with a rock and then alerted other members of the tribe! After that, the humans immediately killed off most of the scorpions with rocks and drove away the rest with torches while also sealing off the crack in the wall that those scorpions used to invade our home! Ever since that day, I became very afraid of scorpions and would freak out if I actually see one! As for the human boy who rescued me, he was actually the very human who would later be my first partner, Akoma!" Aurachnid explained in full detail. "Really?" Clyde asked. "Yeah, but it wasn't until he saw me having one of the night terrors I would get afterwards did we realize it." Aurachnid said.

"Whoa!" Said Clyde. "In case you guys are wondering who Akoma is, he's actually Clyde's ancestor!" Aya explained. "And Ofui's brother-in law." She added. "Whoa! You and Clyde must have been destined to be together, Aurachnid!" Mikey surmised. "Considering the fact that if I bite anyone not of his bloodline, they die a horrible, and I do mean horrible, death, I'm inclined to agree with you!" Aurachnid said. "*SHUDDER!* Thanks for the warning about your bite, my spider friend!" Mikey replied in a shudder. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! As soon as left the room where Dark Leo was, I dropped the force field controller right next to him!" Leo explained. "Unfortunately, the moment he did so, Dark Leo dropped the forcefield containing him, and called his brothers, preparing for a surprise attack!" Raph stated. "Then, Dark Leo after found the security system for the penthouse, he was struggling with the decision whether or not to turn off security and allow his brothers to sneak into the facility! That's when I arrived and told Dark Leo that he could still do the right thing, but Dark Leo stated that he was a scorpion as he then destroyed the security system and allowed his cohorts to fly the Terrorpin into the penthouse! As the other Dark Turtles arrived in the hanger, they were met by Cody, Serling, Mike, Donnie, Raph, and Splinter! You see, we knew about their plan and I had allowed my clone to escape the force field as a test! As we defeated the evil clones, it seemed that Dark Leo had failed that test! After facing our fully prepared team, Dark Leo ordered his brothers back into the Terrorpin and then they fled!" Leo explained.

"Lulling him into a false sense of security, clever." Lisa said. "Yes, and as we later found out, it worked better than we thought." Donnie said. "But before then, we had one last encounter with the Inuwashi Gunjin." Leo said. "But it didn't start that way." He added. "It began in Cody's penthouse, where I was using my collection of action figures to act out stories for Cody! However, the fun was cut short as Raph intervened and messed with my action figure that was still its package card! Then, all of a sudden, the Inuwashi Gunjin leader crashed through the penthouse roof in an escape pod! After stumbling out, the battered warrior asked us Turtles for help!" Mikey explained. "Apparently the other Gunjin had been captured, and their leader sought us out to help rescue them!" Leo explained. "Then, us Turtles and the Gunjin leader went off into space in a spaceship, provided by Cody, to find and rescue the other Gunjin! Arriving at the now abandoned Gunjin ship, our own craft was caught in the same gravity field that caught the Gunjin ship before! Then, us Turtles donned space helmets and jumped over to the immobile Gunjin craft to investigate! There, we were met by a hologram of an angry alien head as a giant spaceship uncloaked above us! The alien head announced himself as the great Aramzedo and stated that he had come for the last of the Gunjin!" Mikey explained.

"We were then met by a tiny robot known as a pack-bot, who captured all of us." Leo explained. "When he ordered the Pack-Bot to scan us, it found our "collectable value" to be unknown! Then, he remarked that we were lame, surmised that were many others like us, and then he called us worthless! Unfortunately, Mikey got offended and had to open his big mouth by telling Aramzedo that there weren't any others like us Ninja Turtles and that we were priceless! So, Aramzedo ordered the Pack-Bot to take us along with the Inuwashi Gunjin leader and then we were all transported onto Aramzedo's huge ship!" Raph explained as he, Leo, and Donnie then angrily glaring at Mikey. "What?" Mikey asked. "You should have kept your mouth shut! But, No, you had to tell Aramzedo that we were priceless enough to be collected!" Raph answered in anger. "I'm going to have to side with Raphael-san here, Michelangelo-san." Sakura said. "Same here! I mean, what you had done was incredibly stupid!" Lincoln added. "Even Leni's not that dumb!" Lisa said.

"Hey! I'm Not Dumb!" Leni replied after being insulted by Lisa's comment. "Spell fun." Lisa said. "Oh, that's easy! It's spelled F-O-N!" Leni answered gleefully. "See what I mean?" Lisa asked as the Turtles facepalmed. "Okay, you have a point." Mikey said. "Once we and the Gunjin leader were inside the ship, Leo activated his swords to slowly burn through the plastic-like material that was imprisoning us! As he did I asked Aramzedo some questions and then we learned that the great Aramzedo is a collector of rare warriors and lifeforms, along with their unique environments, and his next "collectible sets" were going to be the Inuwashi Gunjin and us! As the Pack-Bot towed us through the Chamber of Worlds, where Aramzedo keeps the unique environments of each warrior he collects, it then towed to the Hall of Humanoids, where Aramzedo keeps each warrior that he captured from across the universe in a sophisticated life support system and covered in something called Slow Plastic that slows down their metabolisms and prevents them from aging or decaying! Then, the Pack-Bot took us to chamber where the other three Inuwashi Gunjin were held captive in the same condition as the rest of the alien warriors!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's anger, especially Lana! "Oh boy!" Aya said as her eyes flashed, looking at Lana. "Her aura's not a happy one!" She noted.

"The fact that this Aramzedo collects aliens and imprisons them like packaged toys, is totally, absolutely, UNACCEPTABLE!" Lana angrily yelled. Mikey screamed at Lana's outburst. "If I ever find that guy, I'LL SPLAT HIM!" Lana yelled even further as she then stomped the ground with her right foot, causing a big crack in the floor to form. "Yeah, she's real passionate about this sort of thing." Lincoln said. "Not to mention rather scary when angered, much like Lola!" Lori stated while Lola herself said "And snce Lana is my twin sister, I pretty much can't deny that fact!" and nodded in agreement. "The fact that this Aramzedo dude collects aliens like toys kind of reminds me of The Collector from Marvel Comics, but worse!" Zach noted. "Definitely!" Mikey said. "Anyway, us Turtles and our Gunjin ally were able escape our plastic covering and defeat the Pack-bot, but then Aramzedo decided to take action and then we were quickly sucked up by a giant vacuum! Once that happened, we all found ourselves in a stadium called the Dokepal Stadium, where we were attacked by a group of cuddly-looking but mean aliens called Dokepals after they arrived in the stadium from inside multiple big red spheres!" Mikey explained, much to Sakura's anger.

"Sakura?" Lincoln asked his girlfriend in fear. "First, I hear about a demon that bears the name of the Baku! AND NOW I HEAR ABOUT ALIEN POKEMON RIPOFFS?!" Sakura shouted in anger. "Yeah... she can get pretty passionate about this sort of thing, too." Lincoln said. "Plus, since she's a fan of the "Pokemon" franchise, I'm guessing that she doesn't like the idea of people ripping off the franchise itself!" He added. "I see what you mean. And apparently, the Dokepals are rare." Donnie pointed out, which proceeded to anger Lana further. "Uh Oh! Lana's gonna blow her fuse again!" Mikey exclaimed as he pointed at an infuriated Lana. "It's the Fishman's Pond thing all over again!" Lincoln said. "THAT'S IT! I'M GONNA MURDERLIZE THAT MONSTER!" Lana angrily yelled. "Older sister, I'd like to point out that he's in a parallel universe and in the future." Lisa noted.

"Dang It!" Lana shouted while pouting. "Anyway, after we defeated the Dokepals by trapping them back inside there spheres, Us Turtles and the Gunjin leader had to face an army of Pack-bots since Aramzedo was angered by us wrecking his stadium while we were capturing those Dokepals! Knowing that we had no hope in defeating an army of robots, Raph came up with a plan and goaded Aramzedo into fighting the battle himself! Then, Aramzedo agreed to a deal; if he wins, us Turtles and Gunjin would stop resisting, and if us Turtles win, he would set all of his collection free! After both sides agreed to these terms, Aramzedo arrived in the stadium inside a gigantic Pack-bot!" Mikey explained. "Unfortunately, we were no match at first, but then we devised a plan. Using his compulsiveness to collect against him, we tricked him into ordering the Pack Bots to collect an ultra rare life form, Aramzedo himself!" Mikey said. "As soon as that happened, the legions of Pack-bots swarmed onto the giant robot and caused it to collapse! Then, an escape hatch blew open and a tiny alien, which was actually Aramzedo's true form, attempted to flee, but he was quickly caught and sealed onto a blister card by the Pack-bots!" Raph explained, causing everyone to laugh hysterically.

"Sweet, sweet irony!" Lisa said. "Serves him right!" Said Lana as she was still laughing. "Afterwards, I had reprogramed the Pack-Bots to free all of the prisoners, minus Aramzedo, of course, thus freeing the rest of the Inuwashi Gunjin and everyone else he had captured." Donnie said. "As for what the Inuwashi Gunjin did next, they decided to take charge of the program and ensured us Turtles that they would make sure that everyone was taken back to their own homeworlds! We were worried that the task would be too daunting for them, but the Inuwashi explained that Aramzedo would help them in return for his own freedom!" Mikey explained. "Turning the tables on the collector, nice!" Lynn said with a laugh. "Not long after we returned to Earth, we had one last encounter with Sh'Okanabo!" Leo said. "It started at Cody's penthouse rooftop as a ship arrived there! It was President Bishop and he was in need of our help once again! The President showed us a video shot by satellite illustrating that Sh'Okanabo had survived our last encounter with him and taken over Moonbase Bishop, placing planet Earth in grave danger!" Mikey explained.

"Oh come on!" Lynn shouted. "Us Turtles and Splinter agreed to go with Bishop and his crew of agents, but the President told Cody to stay behind as the mission is no place for a child, though my family and I hinted to Cody that he should tag along! Once we were on the spaceship, President Bishop explained to us that the moonbase was the control center for the Earth Atmospheric Protection Grid, which keeps deadly radiation at bay and helped save Earth from global warming! The President also gave us some Solar Grenades that we could use to stop Sh'Okanabo, since he and his drones cannot tolerate sunlight!" Mikey explained. "Makes sense." Lisa said. "Soon, us Turtles, Splinter, President Bishop and his troopers arrived at the moonbase and entered it! Initially, we didn't find any resistance, but then we were soon surrounded by dozens of attacking Kanabo drones! Since there were too many of them, Leo decided that fighting against such overwhelming odds was pointless, so a new plan was needed!" Mikey explained.

"So we decided to surrender in order to get to Sh'Okanabo." Leo said. "As we were all held captive, Sh'Okanabo appeared to us in a new more powerful and tentacled form! Then, he explained to us the details of his evil plan! Apparently, after his last defeat, Sh'Okanabo escaped to the dark side of the moon where he rebuilt his army by infiltrating Bishop Moonbase! With the entire moon population turned into drones, Sh'Okanabo also planned to have Viral hack into the Atmospheric Protection Grid in order to block out all sunlight from Earth and then populate it with his Kanabo drones! As a result, it would allow Sh'Okanabo to bring his Day of Awakening to Earth without any problems!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's shock and horror. "That would make an excellent horror flick!" Hattie said. "Even worse than that! The fact is that blocking out all of the sunlight would not only cause all plant life to slowly die out, but it would also cause the entire planet's temperature to plummet down to subzero levels!" Lisa noted in horror. "Essentially turning Earth into a much larger Pluto!" She added.

"*~GULP!~* *~GULP!~* *~GULP!~* *~GUUUUULP!~*" gulped Aurachnid, Rusty, Lynn Sr., and Mikey as each did so in musical rhythm to the first four notes of "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony" out of fright. "You can say that again!" Donnie said. "However, as all hope seemed lost, Cody and Serling, the latter having been transformed into Turtle X earlier, suddenly blasted through the ceiling and freed all of us! Afterwards, we decided to split up in order to save Earth! Donnie and Raph would use a code given to them by Bishop to open the blast shields and allow sunlight into the base, thus destroying the Kanabo drones! Bishop and Cody would go after Viral and prevent her from hacking into the protection grid! As for Mikey, Splinter, and I, we stayed behind to battle Sh'Okanabo himself!" Leo explained. "Of course, after everyone went to their destinations, Leo and I directly fought Sh'Okanabo, only to be captured in his slimy clutches! While that was happening, Viral went to the control room and them began to manipulate the grid and make it opaque, thus blocking all sunlight to planet Earth! She then contacted Sh'Okanabo to inform the plan was going perfectly! Afterwards, Leo, Splinter, and I started to slowly become Kanabo Drones!" Mikey explained.

*GULP!* Everyone went. "Fortunately Raph and I were able to accomplish our goal by accessing the ship's control room, where I was able to open the blast shields while Raph fought back against the drones." Donnie explained. "Of course, while Mikey, Splinter, and I were actually using our willpower to fight off our infection, Sh'Okanabo tried to stop the sunlight from getting in by covering the windows in purple slime! That's when Mikey and I ran up towards Sh'Okanabo and jumped past him towards the windows! Then, I used my katanas to remove slime from the windows and allow light into the warehouse! As the sunlight illuminated the room, all of the Kanabo drones reverted to their normal selves!" Leo explained. "Sh'Okanabo must not have liked that!" Aurachnid said. "No he did not!" Mikey confirmed.

"Meanwhile, at the moonbase control room, Bishop and Turtle X arrived in time to stop Viral! Viral instantly attacked Cody, trying to take control of Turtle X, but Cody had installed a program that captured the villain and decompiled her code bit by bit! Then, Viral was destroyed while Bishop accessed the Atmospheric Protection Grid and returned sunlight to the Earth!" Donnie explained. "Unfortunately, that would come back to bite us, but more on that later." Leo said. "Later, after Donnie and I regrouped with Leo, Mikey, and Master Splinter, we all saw Sh'Okanabo, who was very weak from the sun and the loss of his minions! He then tried to make a fight of it, but I had tossed a solar grenade into the air and then Donnie used his bo staff to bat it straight into the evil alien's mouth! The explosive immediately detonated inside the villain and then he was destroyed from within by brilliant light! With the villain's death, Cody and Bishop arrived and then we celebrated our victory!" Raph explained. "Glad you're finally done with that guy!" Lincoln said. "Yeah, no kidding!" Leo said.

"About a day later, my brothers and I were having tacos from a food truck! Unfortunately for me, Mikey just had to sneak in so much hot sauce into my own taco that, by the time I bit into it, I practically burned my tongue!" Raph explained, while glaring at Mikey. Luan chuckled at that. "Classic." She said, wiping a tear from her face. "Yeah, Lynn here really loves to eat spicy food! In fact, she's practically one of only two people in the world that can take a bite out of a 'Fire-in-the-Belly' Burger with extra Dragon Sauce and not get burned by it! The other person would be this kid named Dexter, who is in the same grade as Lynn! Also, Lynn and Dexter tried to date each other, but in end, they ended becoming just friends!" Lincoln explained. "Ha! I bet I could eat that no problem!" Mikey said. "No problem for you, us on the other hand." Raph grumbled.

"Is that a challenge?" Lynn asked in a grin. "NO!" Everyone shouted, trying to diffuse the situation before it went any further. "How about this then? After we finish up our story, you can order up some of those Fire-In-The-Belly Burgers with extra Dragon Sauce and see who can eat the most! Are you in?" Mikey proposed. "You're on, turtle boy!" Lynn said, cracking her knuckles much to everyone's exasperation. "Something tells me that it's not going to end well for Mikey!" Donnie surmised. "No kidding. Anyway..." Leo started saying. "As soon as Raph was able to get a drink to cool down his tongue, we had suddenly received a transmission from Torbin Zixx! He was being held captive by some lobster-like alien mobsters called Thermidorions and they were demanding twenty million credits for his release or else! Then, Zixx told us not to rescue him, right before the transmission had ended!" Leo explained. "That guy again?" Lynn asked in frustration.

"Yep! Him again!" Mikey answered. "Thankfully, after this adventure, we no longer had to deal with him again." Donnie said. "As soon as we decided to rescue him in order to turn him over to the authorities, we had tracked Zixx's message to Moonbase Bishop! Upon arriving, we noticed one of the large lobster aliens entering a moonbase hanger! Then, we distracted and removed the Thermadorion guards and then we entered the hanger! Once inside, we discovered that Torbin wasn't a captive, he just used the distress signal to trick us into coming to the Moonbase! Torbin's reason for contacting us was that an undetected meteor made out of dark matter would be impacting the Earth in twenty-four hours and he wanted to warn us! Of course, since we were not nearly as calm about the situation, we insisted that there must be a way to save Earth! That's when Zixx said that the only way to do so was to get a Matter Transmitter, which was inconveniently in the possession of the Triceraton gangster, Boss Zukko! He also told us that the device was hidden in Boss Zukko's secret hideout on Prometheus, which is one of the moons located in Saturn's rings!" Donnie explained. "Named after the Titan who stole fire from the gods and got punished by being chained to a rock where an eagle would eat his immortal liver every day in Greek Myth." Lisa stated.

That factoid causing a lot of people to be grossed, especially Hattie. "Yeah, Greco-Roman myths are full of gore." Lisa said. "Beautiful regions, but the myths, not so much sometimes." She said. "You don't even want to hear about how the Minotaur was created." She said. "We'll take your word for it, Lis!" Said Luna while a little freaked out. "Anyway, us Turtles agreed to go with Zixx to get the Matter Transmitter! But, in order to get there, they must "borrow" President Bishop's spacecraft, since Zixx's ship was confiscated after an incident he had with the Utrom representatives wife at the sushi bar! Don't ask! Anyway, us Turtles weren't willing to become thieves, but Zixx convinced us that it was the only way to save our planet, so us ninjas had to help the rogue steal the ship and then we blasted off for Prometheus! As soon as we arrived at Zukko's stronghold and easily snuck inside, we had quickly found the Matter Transmitter, which looked somewhat identical to a coffee machine! But then, Zukko entered and then we learned that Zixx had set us Turtles up! After that, Torbin tossed a device called a neural scrambler at us, which then rendered us unconscious!" Mikey explained. "Of course!" Lincoln said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"As soon as we woke up, we were all in a holding cell! Then, we all heard Zixx and Boss Zukko celebrate in Zukko's private quarters! It appeared that Torbin lured us to Zukko's hideout to pay off an old debt and we were at the mercy of Boss Zukko!" Raph explained, much to everyone's anger, especially Hattie's. "This Torbin guy is so lucky he's not in this universe or timeline!" Lynn said, cracking her knuckles. "Yeah! That guy is nothing but a Two-Faced, Backstabbing, Lying, Son of a *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!*" Hattie angrily yelled, causing everyone to be shocked and appalled. "Young Lady, Watch Your Language!" Mikey scolded. "Sorry! It's just that, what that guy did to you turtles just really pushed my buttons so much that it made me snap and lose my cool!" Hattie explained while apologising. "Incredibly, Torbin's double cross turned into a triple cross!" Leo said, much to everyone's confusion.

"As soon as Torbin freed us Turtles, he explained that he was only pretending to sell us out because it was the only way to get inside Zukko's stronghold! After the Triceratons discovered us and then chasing after us, we all grabbed the Matter Transmitter and used it to teleport ourselves back onto Bishop's spacecraft! After that, we blasted off and it seemed that we had made a clean escape, until we all realized that the Transmitter was hit by one of the Triceraton laser blasts!" Mikey explained. "Dang it! Why can't this kind of thing ever be easy?!" Lynn said. "Speak for yourself! We're the ones fighting evil." Lincoln pointed out, gesturing to himself, Sakura, and Clyde. "Okay, you may have a point there!" Lynn replied. "Anyway, as we approached the meteor, Donnie quickly fixed the Transmitter! Unfortunately, thee catch was that the remote was still broken and someone would have to put it on the meteor manually! Zixx, claiming that he was sorry for all the rotten things he had done, offered to do it! With that, we handed him the Transmitter and Zixx bravely launched himself over to the meteor! Once there, Torbin's true agenda imprisons was revealed and we discovered that the "meteor" was just a holographic cloak for his ship! Zixx was simply trying to steal the Transmitter all along! As Torbin escaped with the Transmitter in his own ship, us Turtles were shocked! However, Donny told us that he was wise to the rogue the whole time and switched the Transmitter with a beverage dispenser while he was fixing it! Donnie had given the fake to Torbin and thus, us Turtles had the real device!" Mikey explained, causing everyone to laugh hysterically.

"So, you ended up turning his Quadruple cross, into a Quintuple cross?" Lisa asked. "In a technical sense, Yes! I certainly did!" Donnie answered. "Yeah! We were quite pleased that Donnie actually out-tricked Zixx!" Mikey noted. "Unfortunately, we can only imagine what happened to Torbin afterwards. But we can guess that whoever he wanted to steal the transmitter for wasn't happy!" Leo said. "*Chuckle!* Serves him right for being a dishonest trickster!" Liam exclaimed in laughter. "Not long after that, we had one last encounter with Darius and the Dark Turtles." Donnie said. "It all started at the penthouse, where my bros and I, along with Cody, were doing some ninja training with Master Splinter! That's when we heard the alarm ring!" Mikey explained. "That's never a good sign." Lincoln muttered. "Upon hearing that, we all went to the rooftop and saw the Terrorpin flying down towards us! Then, we immediately decided to dodge out of the way, right before the Terrorpin crash-landed on the rooftop! Afterwards, we all saw the Dark Turtles slowly come out of the damaged vehicle with their leader Dark Leo calling out for our help!" Leo explained. "They were actually calling for help?" Lynn asked in surprise. "Yeah, we were surprised too!" Mikey said.

"Seeing how injured they were, we had no other choice but to bring them inside so they would be taken to the medical unit in order for them to be healed!" Donnie explained. "Even after what happened last time?" Lana asked. "Didn't stop Ryu when he saved me." Toadus stated. "Oh! Right! Of course!" Lana replied. "Anyway, as soon as the Dark Turtles were healed up enough, Dark Leo explained to us all that since the last time we've encountered them, Dark Leo actually did learn a few things from us! For one thing, he actually started sharing his food with the other Dark Turtles instead of fighting over it like they would usually do!" Raph explained. "AWWWW!" The Loud Siblings all said. "Of course, another thing Dark Leo told us was that he started caring about his brothers more often! Then, he immediately told us why he and the other Dark Turtles came to us for help! It turns out that Darius Dunn was fed up with Dark Turtles' failures and decided to create a group of robotic turtles called TechTurtles to replace them! Then, to show the Dark Turtles that he truly considers them to be obsolete, the first order Darius Dunn gave to the TechTurtles was to eliminate the Dark Turtles!" Mikey explained, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

"And to make matters worse, the TechTurtles then started barging in on the penthouse!" Raph said, shocking them even further. "We attempted to fight them off, but they were a lot tougher than the average robot! For one thing, their entire bodies were made of Titanium/Steel alloy, which was an metal substance that was incredibly strong that even our weapons couldn't damage them! Another thing was that they were incredibly smart and they can easily copy our moves and counter them just by looking at us!" Mikey explained. "Thank goodness King Draco hasn't thought to do that with the Neo-Lizardons yet." Aurachnid said. "Eventually, Splinter, Cody, and Serling, the latter having transformed into Turtle X, joined in the fray and held better than the rest of us! Unfortunately, it didn't last long as TechTurtles were soon able to counter their moves as well! So, that's we all had no other choice but to retreat and come up with a strategy to counter our new foes! As soon as I threw a bag of flour at the TechTurtles, their vision was blocked, which gives us Ninja Turtles, as well as Splinter, Cody, Serling, and the Dark Turtles, enough time to escape from the penthouse and head toward the O'Neil Tech building!" Mikey explained.

"A classic ninja technique. It's how the myth that they could disappear into thin air started. They would put glass powder or chili juices into these little black eggs, crush them and throw them into the eyes of their opponents." Lisa said. "Huh! You know, I didn't even know about that!" Mikey stated. "That maybe how human ninja did it, but I..." Gorf said, throwing down a smoke bomb, disappearing and reappearing behind Lisa. "Don't have such limitations." He said. "Neither do I when in Shinobi mode." Lincoln noted. "Of course!" Lisa replied with an eye roll. "Anyway..." Leo started saying. "Soon, after we all evaded from the TechTurtles, we all used the Hovershell to head towards the O'Neil Tech building! Along the way, we contacted Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers, as well as President Bishop, to alert them about our new threat!" Raph explained. "Of course, given Darius' influence, It took some convincing for Biggles to believe he was involved, but thankfully Bishop was able to attest to what we were saying." Donnie said.

"Did the President forgive you guys about you all 'borrowing' his ship during your last encounter with Zixx?" Lincoln asked. "Once we explained our little quintuple cross, and he found Zixx beaten senseless in an alley, most likely by the guy he was trying to steal the transmitter for, he did." Mikey said. "Oh! That's a relief!" Lincoln replied in relief. "Anyway, since Bishop was a high profile person, Biggles begrudgingly agreed to listen to us." Leo said. "Afterwards, we all met up at the O'Neil Tech building, including Starlee, who had just heard the news from Cody about our encounter with the TechTurtles!" Leo explained. This got everyone on the edge of their seats. "After hearing about how the TechTurtles were made of Titanium/Steel alloy, Starlee suggested that the best way to get past that material would be to melt them down in a temperature of at least 3,034 degrees Fahrenheit or 1,668 degrees Celsius! And what better way to do that than create sweet high-tech blasters that can fire beams of energy set in specific temperature!" Donnie explained.

"Easier said then done. Equipment capable of putting out such temperatures would require an insanely powerful energy source." Lisa pointed out. "Well, fortunately, there was an energy source powerful enough for those weapons, the Crystal Moon!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's confusion. "And what exactly was the Crystal Moon?" Lincoln asked. "The Crystal Moon was essentially the life source for a race of beings we ran into once called the Y'Lyntians. Or Atlanteans as incorrectly known." Donnie explained. That took everyone by surprise. "Long story! We first discovered one Y'Lyntian during our encounter with a group of humans that were turned into mutant monsters by the Foot, back before our first encounter with the Utrom Shredder, that is!" Mikey explained. "The existence of Atlantis has been subject of constant debate since Plato first described it! And you're saying it's real in your world, but under a different name?!" Lisa asked astonished. "Yep! When first encountered that one Y'Lyntian, after he captured all of the mutated humans including three of them that we befriended in an underground city, he explained the history of the city! Apparently, the people of the city lived underground for many millennia, but discovered evidence of life on the surface several centuries ago! They became fascinated with the life above and set up a post in what was us Turtles' old lair, making it an outpost! After a few centuries it became clear they couldn't live on underground for much longer and their species was dying ! The Y'Lyntian was the last of his species and was able to return the monsters to their original forms, but he expected them and us Turtles to remain in the city to repopulate it! Obviously, us Turtles refused his invitation and doubted that anyone else would accept it! The Y'Lyntian didn't take our answer well and used a crystal amulet to attack us with tentacles of stone. Leo, Raph, and Don were trapped by the amulets power, but I was able to knock the Y'Lyntian's crystal amulet away from him. He managed to recover his amulet, but I used a light orb to encase the Y'Lyntian in crystal! Afterwards, we were able free the people that were trapped by the Y'Lyntian, only to discover that they were unable to leave the underground city without turning back into monsters, due the influence of the Crystal Moon!" Mikey explained.

"Fortunately, we were able to eventually bring them back to normal, and discovered the Y'Lyntian was lying about being the last of his kind." Donnie said. "It all started when Donnie demonstrating about a planetary alignment with donuts and a grapefruit! Then suddenly, earthquakes started happening, making me believe that we should've listened to the guy saying "It's the end of the world"! Then, we heard the News reports say thathat something was rising above the ocean, a thousand miles from Greenland, and causing mass flooding across the world! And even worse, the power had shorted out! Of course, the only light in the lair was the crystal we got from the underground city, which was strangely supercharged. Suspicious, us Turtles went in the Tunneler, our drill tank-like vehicle, and headed back to the Underground City, only to find that the city was flooded with inhabitants! Specifically, more Y'Lyntians!" Mikey explained. "That's not a good sign." Lincoln said.

"Eventually, once we were exploring the city, we were attacked by four lava monsters, which were too powerful to take on! Then, they eventually lured us into a cell, where the Y'Lyntian we first encountered had appeared and told us that his civilization, the Y'Lyntians, would dominate the world again and we would be the first slaves of their New World Order! After trying several but unsuccessful ways to escape from our cell, we were broken out by a female Y'Lyntian named Versallia, who then told us about the Y'Lyntians' origins via a place called the Chamber of Chronicles! She explained that long ago, mighty crystals fell on Y'Lyntias, with a massive one called the Sun Crystal landing on a mountain! The crystals were then empowered by a planetary alignment, granting the Y'Lyntians the ability to create an advanced utopia! But unfortunately, they turned arrogant, and started enslaving human beings! Not only that, but any slaves who could not perform proper tasks were mutated by the massive Sun Crystal into mutants; fish-like humanoids called Water Breathers to hunt in the sea, massive, green-furred, ground sloth-like beasts of burden called Green Men to dig canals, and winged humanoids called Avians to keep dissident Y'Lyntians, who detested the ways of the dark empire, from escaping! Soon, the human civilizations of the world rebelled against Y'Lyntias, catching the island by surprise! In their defense, the Y'Lyntians turned the power of the Sun Crystal into a devastating weapon! But then the slaves also rebelled, turning the energy beam from the Sun Crystal onto itself, causing it to be severly damaged and used the sinking Y'Lyntias, which would soon be known as Atlantis! A number of Y'Lyntians were able to escape its destruction, carrying a small fragment of the Sun Crystal, later known as the Crystal Moon, to construct an underground city, but it ran low on power! And since the Y'Lyntians could not survive without slaves, they went into crystal suspension to await the next alignment! Only the High Mage, the true identity of the Y'Lyntian we first encountered, stayed awake to watch over the city! Versallia then explained that since the Crystal Moon had just been recharged by the planetary alignment, the High Council had planned to raise Y'Lyntias from the sea, which would result in a massive continental shift that would flood the world and wipe out the majority of mankind!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's horror. "That's awful!" Lincoln said. "Worse than awful! It would have been the end of the world as we know it!" Donnie replied. "So what happened next?" Lisa asked.

"After hearing about the plot of the Y'Lyntians, we all resolved to stop the Y'Lyntians from completing their goal! Then, Versallia provided us with Y'Lyntian armor to protect us against the lava monsters, spears to pierce their crystal hearts, and a large crystal to help us disrupt the Crystal Moon, just like the slaves did! After that, we carried out our plan! Donnie, Mikey and Raph tackled the lava monsters head-on and then distracted the High Mage, giving me the opening to use the crystal to shatter the larger one! Energy beams then strike the Crystal Moon, causing it to fall into the magma! As we, along with Versallia, escaped from the slowly sinking city, the loss of the Crystal Moon caused the flying vehicle we were using to run out of power! Luckily, we all leapt onto a nearby ledge to safety! After that, Versallia then weeped for losing all that she has ever known! Later, she then departed our company to search for settlements of other moderate-minded Y'Lyntians like herself! Once we said our goodbyes to Versallia, we then return to the Tunneler, satisfied that we would never have to come down underground again!" Leo explained, much to everyone's amazement and relief. The mention of the gear Versallia gave them got Lisa thinking. "Hmm, I wonder." She said, approaching Toadus, who got an interested look on his face. "So, how did you guys use that against the TechTurtles?" Lynn asked.

"Oh yeah! We had to go back to the very location where we last saw the Crystal Moon and then get it out of the lava pit that it sank into! Of course, before that, we had to split into two teams: Dark Donnie, Starlee, Cody, Serling, Master Splinter, Constable Biggles, the Peacekeepers, and myself stayed in the lab in order to develop the weapons we need and keep an eye out for the TechTurtles while Leo, Dark Leo, Raph, Dark Raph, Mikey, Dark Mikey, and President Bishop headed towards the underground location where my brothers and I last saw the Crystal Moon!" Donnie explained. "Considering the events you speak of had been 100 years prior, I can only imagine that wasn't as easy as it sounds." Lisa said. "Well, fortunately, the High Mage and the other evil Y'Lyntians died out after our last encounter with them, so we didn't need to worry about them anymore!" Raph explained. "Of course, we had to bring very special equipment in order to get the Crystal Moon out of the lava! Specifically, Anti-gravity Levatators, which were blasters that shoot out anti-gravity tractor beams on heavy objects in order to lift them up easily, Energy Trackers, which were handheld devices that can detect high amounts of energy in certain places, and a Driller, which was a very larger high-tech hovering drill tank that can dig through the ground with ease!" Mikey explained.

"My point exactly." Lisa deadpanned. "Luckily, Bishop was able to easily provide us with the very equipment we needed for our mission! Then, our team all took a ride in the Driller and headed to where the Crystal Moon was located! Plus, Donnie provided us with the coordinates beforehand to make things easier! Once we arrived, we used the Energy Trackers to find the specific area underneath the lava where the Crystal Moon was! After that, we all used the Anti-gravity Levatators to shoot tractor beams through the lava and onto the Crystal Moon! Then, after carefully lifting it up, we then loaded the Crystal Moon into the cargo hold of the Driller, which was big enough to carry it, and then headed back to the O'Neil Tech building while letting Donnie and the others know that we had completed our mission!" Leo explained. "As for us." Donnie said. "After some cooperation and fine tuning, we were able to complete our new weapons! We even gave those weapons a name, the Heat Busters!" He explained. Lisa then proceeded to take some notes, unseen by everyone else. "However, before Leo and the others were able to show up, the alarms sounded off and we found out that the TechTurtles had found us!" Donnie explained.

"Uh oh!" Lincoln said. "Yeah, we had the same reaction." Mikey said. "And it gets worse! As soon as the TechTurtles showed up, Darius Dunn appeared with them in his newly upgraded battlesuit, built with the same alloy as the TechTurtles!" Donnie explained. "Oh come on!" The riders all said in frustration. "After that happened, Constable Biggles and the Peacekeepers tried to fend off the TechTurtles and Darius in order to give Leo and the others enough time to get the Crystal Moon over to the O'Neil Tech building! Of course, while they tried their best, Biggles and the Peacekeepers were no match for Darius and the TechTurtles!" Donnie explained. Everyone winced at that. "Oh, don't get me wrong, they all ended up okay at the end, a few repairs for Biggles and his men later and they were back on the streets, but they still got beaten pretty badly." Mikey said. "When Darius and the TechTurtles had overwhelmed the Peacekeepers, they went and started to go after the rest of us! While Dark Donnie, Master Splinter, and I tried the best as we could to hold the TechTurtles back, Cody and Serling, with the latter transforming into Turtle X in order to help the former, were fighting against Darius himself! Unfortunately, Darius's newly upgraded battlesuit was much more powerful than imagined, so it didn't take long before Darius was able to overcome and severely damage Turtle X! Afterwards, Darius tried to kill Cody, only for Starlee to pull Cody out of harms way! Apparently, Starlee was in love with Cody and she did not want him to be harmed in any way!" Donnie explained.

"Wait!" Lincoln said as the girls started opening their mouths, as he pulled out a bag full of earplugs, handing two to every male in the room. After he finished giving every pair of earplugs to every male, Lincoln immediately said "Okay, go ahead!" begrudgingly. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" the girls squealed, causing the room to shake. "Good call on the earplugs, dude." Mikey said. "You learn a lot when you're the only boy in a house with 10 girls." Lincoln said. "Also, in you don't know why they squealed like that, it's because they have a great liking towards romance!" He added. "Something I have plenty of experience with, unfortunately." Lincoln said. "Aww." Sakura said, kissing her boyfriend on the cheek. "Don't worry, Lincoln-kun. At least since you're with me, you don't have to worry about that!" She pointed out. "True, but they're always asking for gossip involving us, and need I remind you about the pictures?" Lincoln asked. "Well, to be fair, they are pretty Kawaii pictures." Sakura said.

"Including the one where we were sleeping together in the same bed?" Lincoln asked. "More hazukashi, that means embarrassing, than Kawaii." Sakura admitted with a blush. "True! But, on the bright side, at least we were both wearing our pajamas!" Lincoln noted. "Definitely. Anyway, you guys were saying?" Sakura asked. "Right! While Donnie and the others were attacked by Darius and the TechTurtles, our team was taking a few shards from the Crystal Moon, which was surprisingly still powered up, while it was still in the cargo hold in order to use them as power sources for the Heat Busters!" Leo explained. "I'd question how it was still powered up, but I've learned to accept these things." Lisa said. "Eventually, we had managed to arrive at the O'Neil Tech building and saw what was going on! Knowing that we need to distract the TechTurtles and Darius, President Bishop decided that he and his crew of agents would provide the distraction while the rest of us bring the shards over to Donnie and the others so that we would be able to install the shards into the Heat Busters!" Mikey explained.

*GULP!* Everyone went. "As soon as President Bishop fired a laser shot at Darius, which easily bounced off of his upgraded battlesuit, it immediately caused Darius to turn around and see Bishop and his crew of agents pointing laser guns at him! Of course, Darius arrogantly laughed them and stated that his battlesuit and the TechTurtles were designed to withstand multiple laser blasts and were impossible to destroy!" Raph explained. "Classic sign of a villain's ego." Clyde said. "After Darius said that, he then stated that he will take over O'Neil Tech by force, even if it means killing his own nephew and eliminating those that stand in his way, including us Turtles and President Bishop!" Mikey explained. "Needless to say, Biggles wasn't happy to hear that." Leo said. "When Biggles got up and tried to arrest Darius for the crimes of illegal weapons manufacturing, attempted murder, and even threatening the President, Darius simply just gave an uppercut so hard that it, quite literally, knocked his head off!" Raph explained.

Everyone winced at that. "Darius even said and I quote: 'I always hated that guy'." Mikey added. "Don't worry, though! Constable Biggles's head was still functional, even when separated from his body!" Donnie explained. Everyone sighed in relief. "All, right where is this Darius guy?! Let me at him! Let me at him!" Lynn said angrily. "Future and an alternate universe!" Lisa reminded. "Dang it!" Lynn said, snapping her fingers. "Anyway, after Darius knocked Constable Biggles's block off, he then ordered the TechTurtles to attack President Bishop and his agents, resulting in the latter group immediately fighting back against the mechanical turtles! That gave Leo, Dark Leo, Raph, Dark Raph, myself, and Dark Mikey the chance to immediately sneak past the TechTurtles and Darius with Crystal Moon shards while they were distracted! Once that was done, we had managed to meet up with Donnie, Dark Donnie, Cody, Starlee, and Serling, with the latter still functional despite being damaged by Darius's battlesuit!" Mikey explained.

This got everyone on the edge of their seats. "Then, with little time to spare, we immediately installed the Crystal Moon shards into the Heat Busters and then powered them up! Once that was done, us Turtles and Dark Turtles carried our own Heat Busters and rejoined with Bishop and his agents! After we shot down and melted one the TechTurtles from behind, we then gave Bishop and his agents some Heat Busters of their own!" Mikey explained. "Needless to say, once Darius saw one of his prized creations melting before his eyes, he was not happy!" Leo said. "He then sicked every one of his TechTurtles on us, and they didn't stand a chance! I swear, I saw this little vein in his forehead getting closer and closer to popping with each TechTurtle melting!" Mikey said with a laugh. "It was especially funny when we shot down the very last TechTurtle! It shouted out the lines "I'M MELTING! I'M MELTING! OH, WHAT A WORLD!", kind of like the Wicked Witch of the West from that old movie "The Wizard of Oz!" He added, causing everyone to laugh hysterically. "After that, we shifted our focus on Darius himself! In a desperate maneuver, he called for the Dark Turtles." Donnie said.

"Unfortunately for him, the Dark Turtles refused to obey his commands, after Darius had betrayed them earlier!" Raph explained. "In fact they asked us to let them put the hurt down on him personally!" Mikey said. "Seeing that we hate Darius as much as they did, we were happy to oblige!" Raph explained. "Turns out their weapons were made of the same alloy as the TechTurtles and Darius' suit, and that allowed them to dismantle it with ease!" Donnie said. "That's when Darius shouted in confusion that had implanted the Dark Turtles with a post-hypnotic suggestion that should have made it impossible for them to attack him and asked how they were able to break free from it!" Mikey explained. "That's when Dark Leo answered that Darius's betrayal, plus the injuries that were inflicted on them by the TechTurtles and the kindness that they were given by us Ninja Turtles and Splinter while being taught about honor and compassion by us, were what gave them the will to overcome and defeat their own hypnotic suggestion!" Mikey explained. "He then proceeded to punch Darius right in his face so hard, he was knocked unconcious!" Mikey said.

"Ooooh! That's gotta leave a mark!" Zach remarked. "Oh, it did! His eye ended up the size of a grapefruit!" Mikey said, causing everyone to laugh out loud. "When the Peacekeepers took Darius away to be locked up for good, we asked the Dark Turtles what they were going to do next. Turns out they had decided to take the Terrorpin on a trip through the cosmos looking for a place they truly belonged." Leo said. "Whoa! That's deep!" Rusty exclaimed in surprise. "Well I hope after all that, they found what they were looking for!" Sakura said. "What about Darius?" Lincoln asked. "Well, at the intergalactic court, which we were all invited to as both guests and witnesses, after we all had testified our accounts of Darius Dunn's criminal deeds, he was found guilty of mass protection of illegal weapons, selling said weapons to criminals, deceiving the public by using a peaceful tech company for criminal activities, multiple accounts of attempted murder, purposely damaging private property, threatening the President, resisting arrest, and, of course, knocking off the head of a well-respected robot police officer!" Donnie explained.

"Heavy record. Not even his connections could save him." Leo said. "As soon he was found guilty, he was sentenced to a full lifetime in jail without any hope of parole or release! As soon as he was then dragged away by the authorities, Darius Dunn shouted, and I quote, "I Would Have Gotten Away With It, If It Weren't For Those Mismatched, Meddling, Miscreants!"!" Mikey explained. "Classic line." Lincoln said laughing. "A few days later, Cody had finally succeeded in fixing the Time Window, which meant it was finally time for us to return to our time." Donnie said. "Well, it's about Time! *CHUCKLE!* get It?!" Luan joked. "Too soon, Luan-neechan." Sakura said. "After leaving our future gear behind, for obvious reasons." Donnie said as Mikey grumbled at the memory of all the video games he left behind. "And an emotional farewell to Cody and Serling, we started heading into the Time Window, prepared to return home. Unfortunately, we didn't take into account one tiny detail." Donnie said. "And what would that be, exactly?" Clyde asked nervously. "Viral." Leo answered, shocking everyone.

"WHAT?! BUT HOW?! YOU GUYS SAID SHE WAS DESTROYED BY A DECOMPILER! THAT SHOULD HAVE PERMANENTLY DESTROYED HER! HOW WAS SHE ABLE TO SURVIVE THAT?!" Lisa asked loudly in shock and confusion. "Apparently, a small piece of her programming was able to sneak into Serling's onboard computer, and spent the time between the battle against Sh'Okanabo and then recovering what bit of strength she could." Donnie explained. "Dang It! Clearly you guys, should have thoroughly checked Serling's computer and had done a clean sweep!" Lisa said in frustration. "Hey, we thought we were done with Viral too! But unfortunately, she was able to take control of Serling's motor functions!" Donnie said. "She then hacked into the Time Window and entered it, causing it to explode and also caused Serling to be brought into the Time Window as well!" Mikey explained. Everyone groaned at that. "Not only that, but she also messed with the coordinates for the window!" Donnie said. "Specifically, she had sent us to the Jurassic Era and, no sooner did we land there, we were then attacked by a big, hungry Spinosaurus! Even worse, Viral had disabled Serling's defense systems, so he couldn't fight dinosaur even if he wanted to! So, Serling ended up hiding behind a rock while the rest of us were trying to fight off the Spinosaurus without our weapons!" Leo explained. "Actually, The Spinosaurus was from the Cretaceous Era, not the Jurassic." Lisa pointed out.

"Oh! I guess I must have mistaken the Cretaceous Era for the Jurassic back there!" Raph sheepishly admitted. "Common misconception." Lisa dismissed. "Anyway, when the Spinosaurus attacked us, Mikey launched a poor attack against the aggressive dinosaur, by attacking it with a stick! Unfortunately, that caused him to be easily defeated when he was knocked to the ground by the dinosaur's tail! Meanwhile, the aggressive dinosaur is about to move in for the kill on Leo, Raph, Splinter, Serling, and I! But then, Mikey came in riding a Triceratops and it was charging at the Spinosaurus! That caused the dinosaur to flee while Mikey decided to name the Triceratops Zog II! Of course, Viral acted less than impressed over the fact that the Spinosaurus was defeated that easily, so she then sent us to another time!" Donnie explained. "Wait a minute! How could there be a Triceratops in the same area as the Spinosaurus?! The Spinosaurus comes from North Africa while the Triceratops comes from North America! It's impossible for the two dinosaurs to be in the same landscape as each other! Not to mention the fact that there were no Ceratopsians, that's the dinosaur group that the Triceratops comes from by the way, in any part of Africa to begin!" Lisa wondered loudly. "Now that you've mentioned it, Zog II had horns on his frill in addition to the three horns he had on his head! So, it's possible that Zog II was actually an undiscovered Ceratopsian species!" Donnie surmised. "Great, the only thing worse than two unfunny comedians are two uber nerds!" Lola complained, rubbing her temples.

"We Both Heard That, Lola!" Lisa and Donnie shouted as they gave Lola an intense glare. "You were supposed to!" Lola said before Aurachnid shot a stream of webbing at her mouth. "Thank you!" Lana said. "You were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! After we were taken out of the Cretaceous Period, we sent right into the medieval dark ages! The moment we all arrived in that time, we were all attacked by an army of knights! Us Turtles took some time to combat the knights, but Serling was taking quite a bit of abuse from the knights! Then you, Donnie gets an idea when he remembered that the decompiler program was still installed in Serling's drive! However, Leo reminded Donnie that Serling's weapons were deactivated, but Don explained that with more advanced technology, he might be able to get Serling's weapons back up! Although Raph argued that the technology more than likely doesn't exist in the medieval times, Don responded by saying that if Viral could somehow send them closer to their time, he might be able to that! That gave me an idea! I had went up to Viral and actually managed to convince Viral to send them to their time, but I had to make it sound very very bad! After being convinced, Viral sent us Turtles, Splinter and Serling to yet another time!" Mikey explained. "Finally, a good use for your mouth!" Lynn joked. "Hey!" Mikey said. "Unfortunately, what Mikey failed to take into account was what kind of timeline Viral would take us to! She sent us to a dystopian future with not one, not two, but three Shredders!" Raph said, causing everyone to gasp. "There was Ch'rell, the Tengu Shredder, and one we had never met before, but was definitely bad news!" Donnie said.

"And what's even worse, the three different Shredders were actually at war with each other!" Mikey explained. "That's concerning." Lincoln said. "Concerning would be the understatement of the year, dear brother." Lisa said. "As soon as the mysterious third Shredder appeared, he went and slashed Serling in the chest, greatly damaging his systems!" Donnie explained. "We later dubbed this Shredder the Cyber Shredder, you'll understand why soon, but for now..." Mikey said. "As soon as he damaged Serling, the Cyber Shredder proceeded to attack us, but was blasted by the magic of the Tengu Shredder, who claimed that the we would be his prize for victory! The fight between the three Shredders dragged on and I wasn't too confident of Serling's survival, after looking over the damage the Cyber Shredder dealt! We were then confronted by a man with long red hair, a small red beard, and wearing gold and blue armor, who claimed to have destroyed us himself! Then, the man attacked us and proved to be a highly formidable opponent! Leo and I lost our attention towards the man when he was blasted by the Tengu Shredder and when we saw that the Cyber Shredder slashed through The Utrom Shredder's armor, revealing to be Utrom technology inside, something that can easily repair Serling! We tried to damage the Utrom Shredder as much as we could, but his armor was too strong and we didn't have any weapons with us. Splinter then gets an idea and went over to the fight between the other two Shredders! Splinter managed to dodge the attacks of the Tengu and Cyber Shredders, causing them to hit the Utrom Shredder, shattering his armor and revealing Utrom technology inside it! I then grabbed a piece of Utrom technology and used it to revive Serling and get his weapons back online! After that, Serling transformed into his Turtle X mode and I got inside of it in order to pilot it!" Donnie.

"Cool!" The boys all said. "In Turtle X, I was able to defeat all three Shredders and then I fired the decompiler program as a blast at Viral! It seemed that my plan had worked and we were on our way home! But, unfortunately, Viral revealed herself and told me that she took control of Turtle X before the decompiler could finish her off! Then, worse thing had happened! Viral used Turtle X to fire the decompiler program at my brothers, but then Splinter sacrificed himself to protect them, causing him to be deleted and his data bits to be scattered all across cyberspace!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's horror. "Fortunately, as we discovered, he was still alive, obviously, but he had been scattered in cyberspace. And as we later found out, Viral had been destroyed by the new Shredder we saw, the Cyber Shredder." Leo said. "How you ask? Well, as we all later found out from the Cyber Shredder himself, he started out as a computer file! As a contingency plan in the event of his demise, the Utrom Shredder created a cybernetic engram copy of himself using a combination of Utrom technology and Earth machinery! That copy contained a full download of his personality with a Shredder design, which could be brought to life, just in case anything happened to his corporeal form! However, since the Utrom Shredder was actually banished on an ice asteroid and not killed off, that did not happen and the program remained unnoticed in the database of the Foot Clan, locked in a data vault! Of course, that all changed when Viral, who was weakened and looking for ways to get her strength back, came across the vault and tried to access it! However, when she tried to tap into the files it contained, she triggered its defense measures and the engram infected her, causing her program to be rewritten and her form to be reformatted, allowing the Cyber Shredder to burst out of her body and kill her from the inside out!" Donnie explained

"Viral and this Cyber Shredder guy would make awesome villains in horror flicks." Hattie noted. "Not the time, cus." Liam said. "But before all that, we had to straighten ourselves up. We reunited with April and Casey, who had spent the last year taking care of the place, and had even started a romantic relationship since we last saw them." Leo said. "Ah!" Lincoln said as the girls started opening their mouths again, signaling the boys to put the earplugs back in. After all the males put their earplugs back into their ears, Lincoln started counting down with his fingers "Three, Two, One!", right before the girls immediately squeal out "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" in delight, causing the room to shake again. "Dang, they really are suckers for any kind of romance, aren't they?" Mikey asked. "You should have seen them when they first found out about Ronnie Anne." Lincoln said. "Oh, come on, Lincoln. It wasn't that bad!" Lori said. "I ended up getting a black eye at the end of the day!" Lincoln pointed out. "Wait, what?" Mikey asked in confusion. "Long story short, when my sisters found out that I was bullied by Ronnie Anne, they all thought it was because she had a crush on me! When I thought that my sisters were right and when Ronnie Anne showed up outside of the house, I went and tried to kiss her! Unfortunately, she responded by punching me in the face and giving me a black eye! As soon as that happened, I got back into the house and I was very angry at my sisters for giving such bad romantic advice!" Lincoln explained as he then angrily glared at his sisters. That caused the Loud Sisters to wince in guilt over that memory while Rita and Lynn Sr. angrily glared at them.

"Dudettes, that's messed up!" Mikey said. "Fortunately, we ended up being great friends, although I did have to go on a double date after a misunderstanding that was not my fault, simply because her older brother, AKA Lori's boyfriend Bobby, broke up with her after the misunderstanding, and she felt a simple apology over the phone wasn't enough!" Lincoln said, glaring at Lori, who simply chuckled nervously. "Heck, Lori even threatened to crush me with an end table if I refused to go to that double date!" Lincoln added in anger, causing everyone to gasp in shock while Lori gulped nervously. Then, Rita and Lynn Sr. angrily shouted "LORI MARIE LOUD!", causing Lori to jump up in fright. Aurachnid strung her back up to the ceiling. "Oh come on! I wasn't really going to hit him with the table!" Lori said. "But you did pick it up in anger and was about to throw it at me when I tried to refuse to go to that double date!" Lincoln pointed out while Sakura angrily glared at Lori. "Low blow, Lori-neechan." Sakura said. "I had to kiss her just to make you happy! And what did I get in return? People laughing at me the very next day!" Lincoln said.

That's when Lori winced in guilt over what Lincoln just told her. "It took Ronnie Anne slapping me just to prevent it from getting any worse!" Lincoln said. That's when Aya's eyes flashed as she was reading Lincoln's aura and memories. She then groaned at the sight of the memory in question. She then looked at Lori in both anger and annoyance. "Really?!" Aya asked. "How did you not see the situation he had been put in by those idiot boys?!" She asked. That caused Lori to sweat bullets. "And I can see from your aura that you were more focused on your own happiness with Bobby than your little brother's!" Aya pointed out. That caused everyone to gasp in shock while Lori gulped in guilt. "And do I even need to start on how you sabotaged Leni's driving test?" Aya said, delving further into Lori's psyche. "Say What?!" Mikey asked in surprise. "Yeah, apparently Lincoln and the others got tired of doing favors for Lori just to get drives somewhere, so they helped Leni prepare for her driving test, which she had having troubles with, but Lori wasn't having it, so while Leni slept, she put a hypnosis tape containing everything you shouldn't do while driving while she slept!" Aya said as Lori tried desperately to get her arm out of the wrapping to do the ix-nay gesture.

"That caused Leni to drive on the wrong side of the road, neglect to check her mirrors and comment on the driving instructor's weight, resulting in her 14th driving test failure!" Aya added, much to Lori's chagrin. "All right, that's it!" Lynn said, rushing over to where Lincoln kept his weapons. "Aurachnid, do me a favor, lower her!" She said, grabbing LL's bat. "Woah! Lynn-neechan! I get that you're angry, but she's not worth it!" Sakura said, taking the bat out of Lynn's hands. "Besides, I'm pretty sure that she actually regretted her actions! Right, Lori-neechan?!" Sakura said as she then gave a stern glare at Lori. "Oh, yes! Very much so! I even helped her pass the next one!" Lori said nervously. "Be as that may be, Young Lady, you're still in big trouble for all of those despicable acts you've done in the past!" Lynn Sr stated in anger while Rita nodded in agreement. "And you're just lucky Ronnie Anne and I managed to find love with Sakura and Sid!" Lincoln pointed out.

"And you're just lucky Ronnie Anne and I managed to find love with Sakura and Sid!" Lincoln pointed out. "Uh, who's Sid? Is he Ronnie Anne's boyfriend?" Mikey asked. "Girlfriend, actually." Lincoln said, pulling out his phone, showing them a picture of him, Sakura, Ronnie Anne, and Sid on a double date shortly after Ahuizotlus was defeated. That took the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter by complete surprise. "Wait a minute! How can two girls be considered a romantic couple?" Raph asked in confusion. "Yeah! I mean, isn't love supposed to be between man and woman?" Mikey asked in equal confusion. "There is nothing wrong with this, my sons. It's not right for any of us to judge. That's up to a higher power." Splinter said. "Sorry, Master Splinter!" Raph and Mikey said in apology. "Truth is, we had never encountered people in such relationships, not even once!" Raph explained. "Yeah, they actually had trouble at first coming out to their families, with only Bobby, Sid's sister Adelaide, and their skater friends knowing." Lincoln said.

"Fortunately, they were able to tell them about their relationship and were accepted by both of their families! Also, Ronnie Anne and Sid aren't the only girls we know that are in a romantic relationship with each other! Luna-neechan and another girl named Sam Sharp are also in a romantic relationship with each other, especially since they are both part of a rock band called the Moon Goats!" Sakura added. "Plus, I have two dads." Clyde pointed out, showing the turtles and Splinter a family photo on his phone. "And before you guys ask, neither of one them are my biological dads, since I'm actually an adopted child!" He added. "And biologically speaking, a distant cousin of Aya." Lisa said, showing the group the results of some DNA tests she had done on the two. "When did you have time to do that?" Aya asked. "You'd be surprised." Lisa said. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Oh, right! Thanks for the reminder! Apparently, after April and Casey had a little reunion with us, they both encountered Serling, who got stuck with us Turtles after we got back to our time, and then we told them about how we were sent into the future and also about what Viral did to Master Splinter on our way back from the future!" Mikey explained. "Needless to say, they were pretty surprised by the whole thing." Raph said.

"Afterwards, Casey explained to us that, during the year we were gone, he knew karate since he was attending karate school! But then, he checked his watch and realized that he was late and ran off! Of course, April said to him that we have returned and ask him to stay and celebrate our reunion for a little while, but Casey said that being late was disrespectful! That's when April felt that something was off about Casey, since he wasn't usually so punctual!" Donnie explained. "As we later found out, Casey's Karate Instructor was actually a criminal named Master Khan, who was the same person we saw during our encounter with the three Shredders Viral forced us into!" Leo said. "And what was even worse, Khan hypnotized Casey and the other karate students with a huge gong, so that he would use them to rebuild the Foot Clan!" Raph explained. "That would explain why you saw him with the Shredders." Lisa realized. "Indeed! When April was worried about what Casey was doing since he attended karate school, Leo, Mikey, and I decided to head to Khan's Dojo to check up on him! Donnie, on the other hand, was so traumatized by what happened to Splinter, that was working on the computer non-stop, so he chose not to go with us! Fortunately, he gave us the keys to a vehicle he had built called the Turtle Hauler in order to allow us to get to the dojo faster! What does the Turtle Hauler look like, you ask? It's actually a Garbage Truck modified with technological upgrades that Donnie used from the year 2105! It also has the ability to go into Hover Mode, which allows the truck to fly in order to get over hurdles like dead ends! I should know, since I had the pleasure of scaring Mikey by deliberately going towards a dead end alley before activating the Hover Mode at the last minute!" Raph explained before laughing a little, much to Mikey's chagrin.

Luan chuckled at that. "Not funny, Raph! That frightened me so much, that I hurled a little!" Mikey complained. "That's what makes it funny!" Luan said. "You're just using your comedy to hide from your insecurities." Aya whispered in Luan's ear, shocking the comedian Loud. "Dang, no wonder you became fast friends with Lucy." Luan said. "What was that?" Lincoln asked. "Nothing!" Aya said. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! After we had parked the Turtle Hauler, we were able to see through the window of Khan's Dojo and find Casey and the other karate students during practice! We also saw Master Khan in there as well! But then, Master Khan had suddenly appeared behind us and then kicked us right into the dojo! Apparently, he was expecting us from the start!" Raph explained. "Apparently Casey had accidentally revealed that we were back during a class in his hypnotized state!" Mikey said. That caused everyone to groan and facepalm in annoyance. "Yeah, we were pretty upset by it, too." Leo said. "Then, Khan used his giant gong to hypnotize the students and ordered them to attack us!" Leo explained. "COWARD!" Lola exclaimed.

"That's when we had decided not to use our weapons on them, since they were innocent! So, we fought them and defeated them with ease! Afterwards, Casey attacked us with all of the skills he has been taught in a brutal fashion! Then, we punched him hard enough to allow Casey to go back to his senses! Unfortunately, Khan banged the giant gong multiple times, causing Casey to get hypnotized again! That's when Raph and I had no choice but to hit Casey hard enough to be sent sailing towards the gong, causing to crack and fall over! That immediately allowed the students to be freed from their hypnosis and then they all ran out of the dojo in fright. Then, after we discovered that Master Khan was a member of the Foot, we immediately decided to fight him! Unfortunately, Khan was faster and stronger than us! Plus, he knew about our techniques from Casey while he was hypnotized! Even when Casey got up and helped us fight him, we were still no match for him!" Leo explained. "I'm really hating this Khan guy now too." Lynn said.

"Eventually, I knew that we needed to get out there! So, while Leo and Raph were fighting Khan, I went outside and drove the Turtle Hauler straight through the dojo entrance and rammed Khan towards a wall, causing him to be knocked unconscious! Then, after Leo, Raph, and Casey were safely aboard the Turtle Hauler, I then drove the truck straight through four gold-colored pillars and escaped from the dojo, causing the building to collapse upon itself!" Mikey explained. "Unfortunately, Khan was able to somehow survive. Fortunately, we were able to get Casey back to April. Not long after that, we got our first real encounter with the Cyber Shredder." Leo said. "It all started when everyone else was asleep, I was working in my lab and I saw something interesting on the computer!" Donnie explained. "Cute cat videos?" Leni asked, showing one such video on her phone. "Uh, No! Not that!" Donnie answered. "AWWWWWWWW!" The girls all said as the cat in the video sneezed. "What actually saw on the computer was a small piece of Master Splinter! A Data bit, that containd a fragment of his essence!" Donnie explained. Everyone looked to Lisa in confusion. "Basically, when Viral shot Master Splinter with the decompiler, he got turned into data, that was now in the internet." Lisa said.

"Exactly! After realizing that, I knew what our next move must be! We have to rescue Master Splinter by going into Cyberspace and getting those bits!" Donnie explained. "Really? But How?" Clyde asked in confusion. "I must admit, I too am confused, and intrigued." Lisa said, pulling out a notepad. "It's quite simple, really! By using designs from the Transcedental lathe, I was able to make a transport device that would allow us to enter Cyberspace and return safely to the real world! I called it the Cyber Portal!" Donnie explained. "Ingenious!" Lisa said, quickly jotting down notes. "Let me guess, Lis, you want to make a Cyber Portal of your own, don't ya?" Lincoln asked Lisa. "Maybe." Lisa said. "Just make sure that you don't cause any trouble when making it, okay?" Lincoln said. "You should know better by now than to make me promise such things, dear brother." Lisa said. "*SIGH!* Of course!" Lincoln exclaimed. "Anyway, once we found a way to go into Cyber Space, we started on our quest to find Master Splinter's data bits. Gaining new gear to use while there." Donnie said, piquing Lisa's interest.

"I had created four vehicles that can allow us to travel through Cyberspace quickly! Two of them were Code Runners, which were ATV-like cyber vehicles that had two wheels in the front and a tread in that back, while the other two were Cyber Rippers, which were dune buggy-like cyber vehicles that have two large turbine boosters in the back and a cybernetic machine gun on top of their roofs! Each of the vehicles were oufitted with tracking devices and defensive capabilities! Plus, they were configured to run on code pulses that flow through the terrain of Cyberspace lines!" Donnie explained in full detail, perking up Lisa's interest even further. "Cool!" Lincoln and Clyde said together. "As we all raced our new cyber vehicles across cyberspace, we were closing in on the energy signature of Master Splinter's data bits, specifically three of them!" Donnie explained. "Unfortunately, just as we reached them, that's when he came." Leo said. "The Cyber Shredder." Lincoln realized. "Yep! And he was as bad as the Utrom Shredder, if not worse!" Raph stated. Everyone gulped at that statement.

"After Cyber Shredder explained his origins, Donnie provided us with cyber weapons and then we all proceeded to fight Cyber Shredder! Unfortunately, he was much more powerful than we thought, since he can disappear and reappear at will, fired energy blasts, and change any part of his body into different shapes! Plus, he can't stay permanently damaged!" Leo explained. "To be expected of something like that." Lisa said. "Eventually, we had no choice but to escape, so Leo asked Donnie to get us out of there, to which Donnie obliged by creating a doorway! We all managed to get in, but unfortunately, Cyber Shredder wasn't going to allow it! So, he transformed his arms into cyber tendrils and grabbed me, causing to slowly disintegrate! Hadn't Donnie closed the door and severed those tendrils, I would have been completely derezzed like in the movie "Tron"!" Mikey explained. "Oh, I love that movie! The part where-" Hattie started saying, only for Liam to shove another cookie in her mouth. "Okay, has anyone other than Hattie and my bros seen the movie "Tron"?" "Mikey asked. "At this point, I'm doing it for the fun of it. Plus it can get pretty annoying. When she gets on about movies, she tends to get to one that eventually leads to a spoiler." Liam said.

"Also, to answer your question, Michelangelo, I have actually seen it on DVD alongside my cousin! And not just the original film, but also its sequel, "Tron: Legacy"!" He added, much to Mikey's surprise. "An even better movie! The part where-" Hattie started saying, only for Aurachnid to shut her mouth with a glob of webbing. "Thanks, Aurachnid! I was beginning to run out of cookies, anyway!" Said Liam. "You're welcome." Aurachnid said. "You were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! As soon as we escaped from the Cyber Shredder, instead of going to the real world, we were taking shelter in an accounting software program behind several firewalls! It was the safest place I could find at the spur of the moment! As for why I brought me and my brothers there instead of having us sent back home, it was because that Master Splinter's data bits were still in the area where the Cyber Shredder was and I had no intentions of leaving Cyberspace without them!" Donnie explained. "Makes sense. I know if anything were to happen to Master Toadus, I'd do anything to try and bring him back." Gorf said. The comment making Toadus think back to the vision he had about a month prior, with him and General Kabuto clashing.

Phixia and Aya read Toadus' mind and Aura, and got concerned, but decided not to press any further. "Anyway, knowing that we would have to face the Cyber Shredder again while going back for Master Splinter's data bits, I had developed something that can help protect ourselves against him! I had called it, Cybernaut Armor!" Donnie explained. This got Lisa interested. "And what does this Cybernaut Armor look like, Donatello?" Lisa asked in curiosity. "Oh! I still have the blueprints, not only for that, but the gear we had while in the future, and photos of the gear Versallia gave us!" Donnie said. "Really?! Where are they?!" Lisa asked in excitement. "Well they were in my phone which was destroyed due to our little misunderstanding this morning. But I always carry backups." Donnie said, pulling out a USB drive. "This contains everything related to the gear we've had over the years." He said, handing it over to Lisa. "Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to take a photo of the Hovershell blueprints before Mikey here accidentally sent us to this dimension, since the blueprints got suck into the portal we came in among other things!" Donnie added while glaring at Mikey. "You know, maybe there's a chance that you're blueprints for the Hovershell had made it into this dimension, only to land in a different location, like in a back alley or in a dumpster!" Lisa surmised.

"Of course!" Donnie realized. "I can search for them, if you want! As soon as this story is over, that is! After all, I'm an expert in dumpster-diving!" Lana said. Mikey started laughing. "I like this kid!" He said. Sakura, on the other hand, was grossed out by Lana's dumpster-diving habits. "I'll have to take your word for that, Lana-chan." She said in disgust. "Anyway, you were saying?" Lincoln asked. "Right! After were all equipped with the Cybernaut Armor, which all came with cybernetic weapons, we all headed back to where Master Splinter's data bits were, though not before telling my brothers that we have to take advantage of the fact that we were in Cyberspace and that the rules of the real world don't apply there! In other words, we have to start thinking like Cybernauts!" Donnie explained. "Oh, kind of like how on TV people in dreams can manipulate it however they see fit!" Lincoln realized. "Or like in the "Matrix" films, since a majority of the plot takes place inside of a virtual realm!" Lori noted.

"Exactly!" Mikey said as Lisa continued to discreetly write notes. "After racing on our cyber vehicles to the three data bits of Master Splinter, I immediately began to create a conduit to store Master Splinter's data bits for safe keeping while my brothers kept on eye out for the Cyber Shredder! Then, All of a sudden, the Cyber Shredder's energy signature had shown up, only to reveal that he had split into four energy signatures that were come at us in all four directions!" Donnie explained. "Can this guy get more terrifying?!" Clyde asked. "Very much so, yes." Leo answered. "As soon as the four energy signatures got close to us, they rose above us and merged back into the Cyber Shredder, who then immediately blasted us and the data bits away with an energy field!" Mikey explained. "Dang it!" Lincoln said, snapping his fingers in frustration. "Fortunately, I was able to secure the data bits inside of a vortex that I had created with my cyber bo, so that would be able to download the data bits into the conduit! While doing so, I then told my brothers to buy me some time while I was collecting the data bits!" Donnie explained. "And we happily obliged by taking on the Cyber Shredder with our Cybernaut Armor and the weapons they came with! Of course, we still had some difficulty fighting him! We even managed to take the advantage of the fact that we were in Cyberspace by disappearing and reappearing in front of the Cyber Shredder, though Raph only damaged him temporarily while I simply couldn't damage him at all! Heck, not even being cut in half by Leo could stop the Cyber Shredder, since he could easily put himself back together!" Mikey explained.

"That Is both cool and terrifying all at the same time!" Clyde said. "Eventually, I was able to completely store Master Splinter's data bits inside the conduit! That's we had to get out of Cyberspace and back into the real world! Of course, Leo and I had get Raph and Mikey out of harm's way first before we then rode our cyber vehicles away from the Cyber Shredder while he was chasing us! Fortunately, we all managed to evade him after we all took the portal back home before the Cyber Shredder could even catch us!" Donnie explained. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Unfortunately, what I gathered was only a small portion of Master Splinter's data." Donnie informed. "Which means you would need to make multiple trips into Cyberspace!" Lisa realized. "And have more terrifying encounters with the Cyber Shredder!" Lincoln said. "Indeed." Donnie said. "The next day, Casey called me and asked me for a favor." Raph said. "He asked me to help him find an engagement ring for April in order for him to propose her to marry him!" He added. This caused the girls to squeal in delight before Lincoln could get the chance to tell everyone to put the earplugs back in.

"Owww! That really smarts!" Mikey complained while covering his ear holes. "Sorry, but a proposal is every girl's dream! If I had a dollar for every time I dreamt of Bobby getting down on one knee and asking those four magical words..." Lori said, squealing again. "Sakura has had a similar dream for as long as she's had a crush on Lincoln." Aya said, reading the female rider's aura. "AYA-CHAN!" Sakura yelled in embarrassment. "You hear that, Lincoln? You'd better not break her heart!" Lynn said, cracking her knuckles. "Hey! Are you threatening my boyfriend, Lynn-neechan?!" Sakura asked while glaring at Lynn. "Just making sure he has your best interests in heart!" Lynn said. "Plus I'm pretty sure we're all thinking it." She said as Aya examined the Loud Sisters' auras. "Yep, all 10 of them are hoping for a Hoseki-Loud wedding sometime in the future." She said, much to Lincoln's embarrassment. "While I do appreciate you for being supportive of mine and Lincoln-kun's relationship, that doesn't mean it's okay to make threatening gestures at my boyfriend! In fact, here's a little warning if even dare to harm him in any way!" Sakura said as she then grabbed a nearby guitar, that was a present from Luna for her thirteenth birthday, by the stick end and then shouted "KABONG!", right she then smacked the guitar on top of Lynn's head *KABONG!*

"She'll be fine." Lincoln said. "She's got a real hard head." He assured everyone. "Doesn't mean that I haven't felt that one, though! I mean, seriously, that actually smarts!" Lynn noted as she rubbed her head in pain from the impact of the guitar. "Hahaha! Classic! That was a good El Kabong reference there, Sakura!" Mikey said while laughing a little. "Arigato, Michelangelo-san! I was going to give Lynn-neechan a karate throw like I did to Chandler McCann earlier, but I thought that this would be much funnier!" Sakura replied. "Can't argue with that!" Mikey said. "So, anyway, that night, Casey and I went to Chinatown looking for a ring." Raph said. "Why were you ring shopping in Chinatown of all places?" Leni asked. "Because, in Chinatown, there was a shop that sells nice rocks at rock-bottom prices!" Raph answered, causing Luan and Giggles to start laughing. "So we went into the shop, tell the shopkeep, Mr. Sun what we were looking for, and he just gave us this ring." Raph said. "After we left the shop with ring, and after a little boating accident, Casey went and asked April to marry him, to which she agreed, right before he presented the ring and put on her finger!" He added.

"AWWWWWWWWWW!" The Loud Sisters all said. "Unfortunately, as we ended up finding out, it was no ordinary ring. And Hun and the Purple Dragons were after it as well!" Raph said. "Apparently, once April had that ring on her, she had started to act strangely! First, she acted like she was possessed by a demon and shot out black energy waves at us! Then, she was able to create deadly monsters with those waves! The first two monsters she created were eyeless creatures that look like a combination of a bat, a mantis, a crab, and spider! Fortunately, we managed to defeat them by tricking them into slamming into each other, causing them to explode into goop! However, the third monster was deadlier! It looked like a giant monstrous mole the size of a grizzly bear! Even worse I was fighting it off at the sewers while Casey went after April! Eventually, Casey was able to literally knock April back into her senses, causing the mole monster to suddenly disappear from existence! Unfortunately, April was unable to remove the ring herself, causing her to electrocuted! That's when Hun and the Purple Dragons showed their ugly mugs! Of course, when the Purple Dragons saw me, they all thought that Hun had killed me and my brothers off with his bare hands!" Raph explained.

"How on Earth did they come to that conclusion?!" Lisa asked. "Apparently, Hun must have lied to them in order to take advantage of our absence and give himself some respect from his fellow Purple Dragons!" Raph answered. "Of course." Lincoln said. "In any case, Casey and I had fought off Hun and the Purple Dragons as best as we could! But, unfortunately, they had managed to capture April while she was unconscious and then they drove off on their motorbikes to their headquarters, much to Casey's dismay!" Raph explained. "Why that little!" Lynn said. "Even worse, Hun prevented us from following him by blasting a car with a high-tech blaster, causing both Casey and I to be knocked out from the blast!" Raph explained. "Oh no!" Lincoln said. "Eventually, we both woke after Mr. Sun had brought us to alleyway! That's when he explained to us that he had followed the path of destruction caused by the ring and found us there! He also explained that he gave Casey the ring because it was the only way to keep it out of the hands of the Purple Dragons! He then told us that the ring was no ordinary ring, put a powerful ring called the Ring of Yin!" Raph explained. "Yin? As in Yin and Yang?! The representations of Darkness and Light that were symbolized in Chinese mythology?!" Lisa asked in surprise.

"The very same. The ring he had given us represented Yin, the dark half of the Yin-Yang symbol." Raph said. "Of course, Mr. Sun told us that Yin and Yang were in fact dual forces of the universe that keep things in balance! He also told us the the Ring of Yin allows its wearer to upset that balance by tapping into the darkness and harness its evil power! The abilities the Ring of Yin would give to its user were flight, speed, and the means to create terrible monsters! But, it gets worse! The longer a person wears the Ring of Yin, the more it corrupts them! Eventually, the wearer would no longer create monsters, but become a monster, forever!" Raph explained, much to everyone's horror. "Boy, that'd be a funny story to tell the kids!" Luan joked. "This isn't a joke, Luan, this is serious!" Lucy said in a serious tone. "Hey, don't blame me for trying to shed a little light on the situation!" Luan said. "When Casey asked why April was unable to take off the Ring of Yin, Mr. Sun explained that it was a magical safeguard and the Ring of Yin cannot be removed by anyone other than the one that put it on! And, since April wasn't the one that put it on, that means that Casey must be the one remove the Ring of Yin from April's finger before it was too late!" Raph explained.

"Better safeguard than the one Ronnie Anne said was put on the dark box." Lisa muttered. "After Mr. Sun finished his explanation, he told Casey and I to follow him to Purple Dragon HQ in order to save April! Of course, by the time we got there, we all saw April break out of the place, only as a silver-haired, black-coated, pale-skinned monster with glowing red eyes, long sharp claws, and huge demonic wings that looked a cross between those of a bat and an insect with holes in them!" Raph explained. Everyone cringed at that, except the Jr. Morticians Club. "Fortunately, I had called Leo, Donnie, and Mikey over and they brought in the Turtle Copter in order to help us save April! Then, once we got close enough, Casey jumped onto April's in order to take off the ring! Unfortunately, Hun and Purple Dragons arrived in their own helicopter in order to steal the ring!" Raph explained. Everyone groaned at that. "Then, after Hun jumped off and landed on April's arm as well, the Purple Dragons tried to shoot April down only for her to fire a blast of energy from her mouth and destroy the Purple Dragon's helicopter. Once that happened April proceeded to chase us Turtles while Casey was held at gunpoint by Hun, who wanted the ring even though he knew what it would do to him if he wore it! Fortunately, I intervened by throwing a sai at him, causing him to drop his weapon! Then, Casey immediately shoved Hun off of April's arm and sent him straight into the river below!" Raph explained.

Lynn laughed at that. "Serves him right!" She said. "Then, while April grabbed our Turtle Copter, Casey was able to push the Ring of Yin off of April's finger with feet, causing April to return to normal! Of course, that also caused both April and Casey to start freefalling! Fortunately, while Casey was able to catch the ring and grab April, I immediately grabbed Casey by the arm while still in the Turtle Copter!" Raph explained. "After meeting back up on the ground, Casey gave Mr. Sun the ring of Yin back, and to thank him, Mr. Sun gave him and April a more proper Engagement Ring." Leo said. "After Mr. Sun had left, Casey put the engagement ring on April and they both hugged each other happiness! April also announced that they have a wedding coming and we were all invited, since we were considered family to her and we all did save her!" Mikey explained. "AWWWWWWW!" The girls all said. "Not long after that, we got another chance to get some more of Master Splinter's data back. Just a couple of problems. First of all, we got involved in a war between the Foot and the Purple Dragons, and if that wasn't bad enough, we had to stop the Cyber Shredder from getting out of Cyberspace Via Baxter Stockman!" Leo said.

"What? Baxter Stockman?! But how was he involved?!" Lisa asked in confusion. "Apparently, he had constructed himself a cyborg body with a face matching his organic one, minus the glasses, and willingly struck an alliance with Hun and the Purple Dragons to hack the Foot's database in order to find their treasure vaults so the Dragons can conduct raids against them!" Raph explained. "But, last time you saw Baxter Stockman, before entering the future that is, Baxter was working for Agent Bishop! How did he even get out of Bishop's servitude to begin with?!" Lincoln asked in confusion. "Honestly, we're not sure either, since Stockman never bothered to explain how he got out of his service to Bishop in the first place when he explained how he teamed up with Hun!" Leo answered. Everyone just shrugged it off. "Anyway, when Baxter was hacking into the Foot's database, the Cyber Shredder tracked the hacking to its source and took over the scientist's new cyborg body through cyberspace! Then, he used various metals around the area to put onto Baxter's body in order to create a makeshift Shredder appearance for himself!" Mikey explained. Everyone gulped at that.

"Of course, after Leo, Mikey, and I fought him for a while, Stockman ejected his head, which grew spider legs, to avoid being used as cannon fodder! Unfortunately, the Cyber Shredder still had control over Stockman's body even when headless!" Raph explained. "And I thought the Tengu Shredder was terrifying!" Lincoln said. "After we all got in the elevator and after he explained his situation, Baxter decided to ally with us Turtles in order to stop the Cyber Shredder!" Mikey explained. "At least he had some common sense." Lisa commented. "Of course, in order to stop the Cyber Shredder and regain control of his body, Baxter said that the Cyber Shredder's digital consciousness was too large for a complete download and he would still be anchored in Cyberspace, meaning that the Cyber Shredder was remote controling Baxter's body, so only by severing the Cyber Shredder's connection in Cyberspace can Baxter regain control of his body!" Leo explained. Everyone looked at Lisa for an explanation. "Basically they needed to go back in Cyberspace and disconnect Cyber Shredder from Stockman's body." Lisa dumbed it down.

"Unfortunately, Leo, Raph, and I were nowhere near the the Cyber Portal when we fought the Cyber Shredder in Baxter's body! So, Baxter decided to help us by using a mainframe link in Hun's office in order to find the cyber connection and break it! Sadly, that plan was foiled when the Cyber Shredder burst out of the elevator and destroyed the mainframe!" Mikey explained. "Oh come on!" Lola said. "By the way, Donatello, I can't help but notice that you weren't mentioned with your brothers when they were fighting the Cyber Shredder while he was Baxter's body! Care to explain why?" Lisa asked. "I was still in Cyberspace searching for Master Splinter at the time." Donnie explained. "Oh! Of course!" Lisa exclaimed. "Anyway, even though the mainframe was destroyed, Baxter was able to use the computer board to sync up with the wireless connection so he would contact Donnie and let him know that we were in serious danger!" Mikey explained. "And I was just about to gather more of Splinter's data too!" Donnie said.

"However, after some thought, I realized that I needed to save my brothers while I still can! So, I abandoned my quest so that I would go to the Foot data vault, where the Cyber Shredder was controlling Stockman's body, and then I quickly cut off the Cyber Shredder's arms with my cyber bo, causing him to lose control over Baxter's body! Then, after my brothers helped him reattach his head back into his body and after I knocked the Cyber Shredder down, Baxter Stockman rebooted his firewalls and prevented the Cyber Shredder from regaining control over his body! As soon as that happened, I immediately took my Code Runner and quickly raced out of the data vault and back to the real world before the Cyber Shredder even notices!" Donnie explained. "That was a close one!" Lincoln said. "So, what happened to the data bits that you were going to collect?" Lisa asked. "Well, after I've apologized to my brothers for not being there for them when they needed me, I had explained to them that those data bits had collapsed into a high-speed data stream and that it would take a while, but I would be able to find them again!" Donnie explained.

"Well, at least all of you are safe. If anything were to happen to any of my sisters, no matter how much they annoy me, I don't know what I'd do." Lincoln said. "He does have a point! When Tabby and I alerted him about Luna being kidnapped by Cicadeath, he was downright FURIOUS!" Liam explained. "And when the time is right according to him, I'm going to take Cerberion's soul core and shatter it into a million pieces!" Sakura said angrily. "I don't think shattering his Soul Core is good idea, Sakura!" Master Toadus stated. "What do mean by that, Toadus-san?!" Sakura asked. "Apparently, whenever Cerberion kills humans, he collects their souls inside of orbs that he stores on his bandolier! Even worse, the only way to free those souls is to destroy him and seal his Soul Core away!" Master Toadus explained. "You know what I mean!" Sakura said. Of course, when Lucy started to hear about Cerberion's ability to steal the souls of those he killed and collect them in orbs that he keeps on his bandolier, she started to get really angry.

"He's mistreating the motif of Hades' guard dog! That's utterly despicable!" She angrily said. "I'm afraid it gets worse, Lucy-chan! When we first formed Aquarion and defeated Manticron, General Kabuto told us that Cerberion was in Japan during World War II and he had captured the souls of those that died in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings!" Sakura explained, causing Lucy to get angrier while Mrs. Hoseki, along with everyone else, gasped in horror over that information. "And the worst part is he does it 'just for the fun of it'." Lincoln said. That's when Lucy clenched her fists and started to turn red with rage while growling. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! OF COURSE, THAT MONSTER WILL REALIZE, THAT THIS MEANS WAR!" Lucy angrily yelled while her hair flared out to reveal her angry eyes, causing everyone to jump up in fright. "Lucy, sweetie. I think I speak for all of us when I say to leave this to the professionals." Rita said. Lucy, however, responded by stomping her right onto the ground so hard, that she had created multiple cracks in the floor! That caused Mikey say "*GULP!* Somehow, I think that she's not going to take "No" for an answer!" in fright.

"Anyway, not long after that, Serling started acting strangely." Donnie said. "Yeah! Instead being all cranky like he usually was, he was acting nicer!" Mikey explained. "He got me tickets to a horror flick, Raph a ticket to a wrestling match..." Mikey started saying. "SCORE!" Lynn shouted in excitement. "Leo an ad for a Feudal Japanese Weapons Exhibit at the National History Museum, and Donnie coordinates for a cluster of Master Splinter's data bits!" He finished. "Wow! You're right, Michelangelo-san, that was unusually nice!" Sakura noted. "Are you sure Viral didn't accidentally leave a small virus in his systems?" Lisa asked. "Nope! Fortunately for us, that was not the case!" Donnie explained. "As we later found out, Serling had actually been working on a Time Portal of his own, trying to go back to 2105!" Leo explained. "Though, while we were all out on our respective activities, something went wrong when Serling tried to use it!" Leo explained.

"Instead of going back to 2105, he ended up being shrunk to the size of an action figure!" Mikey said. "Apparently, Serling's Time Window had altered space instead of time!" Donnie added, causing everyone to burst out in laughter. "Serling got himself shrunk down to Toy-Size?! HAHAHA! Talk About An Epic Fail!" Lynn laughed. "Yeah, needless to say his ego took a big hit as a result." Mikey said. "Of course, after he got himself shrunk down, Serling angrily kicked the Time Window and was able to finally move through time! Though, instead of arriving in 2105 like he had hoped, Serling ended up in the Cretaceous Period by mistake!" Donnie explained. Lisa facepalmed at this. "While he was there, he got picked up by a Pteranodon! He then shocked it before being followed by a Velociraptor! Then suddenly, a time portal took Serling to an undisclosed time, where he blasts a kid's toy soldier before another portal took him to what seems like the present! But, much to his own horror, he had arrived to when us Turtles were toddlers!" Mikey explained.

This caused everyone to chuckle before all out laughing. "That must have been awful for Serling-san!" Sakura said. "It certainly was! In fact, back when we were toddlers, we all believed him to be a toy, treated him like one, and each of us wanted him for a different purpose! Then, we all start fighting over him until Splinter came along and confiscated Serling, telling us that our relationship with each other was more important than our relationship with things and that until we learned that and how to share, Serling was off limits! He then put Serling in a box and told us that we must never allow possessions to possess us, for that would lead to obsession!" Leo explained. "Okay, I've got to admit. That's deep." Lincoln said, his sisters nodding in agreement. "It's true! I was actually trying to teach my sons an important lesson that day!" Master Splinter noted. "You are quite wise, my rodent friend." Toadus said, the two sipping tea. "Of course, later that night, Mikey tried to sneak in and take Serling,but we had caught him in the act! Then, after we started fighting over Serling again, we had accidentally tossed him to the surface! Once that happened, Serling attempted to make his getaway, only to be hit by a car! Its driver found Serling and called him his "cherished" while being dazzled by something about Serling before driving away with him! We then spotted him and decided to hitch a ride in order to get Serling back!" Raph explained.

"And you guys didn't even realize just how important he would be in the future! That's got to be embarrassing for Serling!" Aurachnid exclaimed. "Hey! We were toddlers back then! We didn't know any better!" Mikey explained. "Plus, Serling switched to his "Inner Monologue Mode" so he would only think instead of externally talking in order to prevent himself from accidentally telling us about our future and, as a result, altering the past!" Donnie explained. "A robot smarter than toddler turtles, shocking." Lisa said sarcastically. "Anyway, as soon as the car stopped at a place called "Wendell's World", the driver, who was the titular owner of that place, got out of the car with Serling and entered the place! Once we waited a while, we immediately got off the back of the car and entered the building ourselves, only to discover, to our amazement, that Wendell's World was a toy store!" Mikey explained. "That explains so much." Lincoln deadpanned. "This guy sounds like that guy from the second Toy Story film. The one who stole Woody, not the prospector." Clyde said.

"You mean Al McWhiggin, right?" Mikey asked. "Yeah, him!" Clyde said. "Anyway, while we were searching for Serling, Mikey was loading a shopping cart with tons of toys, much to the annoyance of the rest of us! Then, when Mikey found a toy rocket in a glass cover and decided to take it, he had accidentally revealed a hidden staircase in the floor and stumbled down the stairs! After we had caught up with Mikey, we all discovered that the staircase led a secret lab where Serling was about to be disassembled by Wendell on a lab table with rotating buzzsaws!" Donnie explained. "Correction, this guy is way more insane than Sid from the original film, Al, Stinky Pete, Lotso, and Gabby Gabby combined!" Clyde said, fixing his earlier statement. "Fortunately, before the dissection tools could get to Serling, Raph immediately dove in and grabbed him just in the nick of time! While Wendell was surprised about our sudden appearance, he exploded in rage when we told him to stay away from our toy robot!" Mikey explained. "I can only imagine what was going on through Serling's mind at that point." Lisa said.

"Being angered that we took his "cherished" away from him, Wendell activated a number of toy robots! Some look like spiders, some look like gorillas with spiked shoulders, some were humanoid robots with tentacles for arms, Some were humanoid robots with four arms, and there was one humanoid robot that had a helicopter propeller on top its head! Of course, all of those toy robots had one thing in common, they all had faces that were based on Serling!" Mikey explained. "Okay, that's just disrespectful!" Sakura said. "As soon as Wendell unleashed his toy robots at us, we immediately tried to retreat! Unfortunately, one of them grabbed my legs and pulled me in, causing my brothers to drop Serling and try to rescue me! Sadly, the rescue attempt was in vain as we all were then tossed aside by the surprisingly strong toy robots! Then, they piled on us and gave us quite a lot of pain in spite of us trying to fight them off!" Mikey explained. "Toddlers being played with by toys. Sweet, sweet irony." Lisa said.

"HEY! NOT COOL, LISA!" Mikey yelled in annoyance. "Kid's got a point, though." Raph said. That caused Mikey to pout in annoyance. "Of course, while we were overwhelmed by the toy robots, Serling tried to run for it! However, he saw that we were in trouble and decided to secretly help us get rid of the toy robots by using remote controlled toys to easily take them down! First, he used a remote controlled toy airplane! Then, he used a remote controlled toy train! Finally, he splashed away the rest of the toy robots with a hose from a toy fire truck! Unfortunately, as we were about to leave, Wendell came along and unleashed a more life-sized robot on us called the Ultrabot! Not only was it huge, but had a deadly array of weapons on it, including multiple battleship guns on its torso and a huge energy cannon attached to its right arm!" Donnie explained. "Okay, now he's gone far past Toy Story villain crazy and gone into hardcore comic book villain crazy!" Clyde said. "Yeah! If anything, he would be like Winslow Percival Schott, a.k.a. the Toyman, from DC Comics!" Lincoln added.

"Pretty accurate comparison, now that I think of it!" Mikey said. "Anyway, as the Ultrabot was blasting at us, things seemed hopeless! But then, Master Splinter showed up and immediately went on the offense by attacking the Ultrabot! While Master Splinter was able to stun it with his kicks, the Ultrabot immediately reactivated and proceeded to attack him! That's when Serling climbed up a shelf, jumped onto the Ultrabot's back, and opened up its back panel in order to remove its batteries! That caused the Ultrabot to shut down just before it could shoot its laser arm at Master Splinter!" Donnie explained. "That's a relief." Lincoln said. "Once that happened, Wendell was upset and started to kick the Ultrabot in frustration while Master Splinter came to us! He then told us that, had he had not tracked us down all the way to the toy store, he would have never seen us again! He then scolded us for revealing ourselves to the surface world and forcing him to due the same in order to find us! Then, after we told him that we only came up to the surface because Wendall stole Serling from us and that Wendell was crazy about him, Master Splinter noted that Wendell was obsessed and he was willing to do anything to get what he wanted, for possessiveness leads to obsession and obsession knows no bounds!" Leo explained.

"Clearly, there is no bounds to your wisdom, Splinter-san!" Sakura told the rat. "Thank you for the kind comments." Splinter said. "After I found Serling, my brothers and decided that we didn't want him anymore! Then, we decided to give Serling away to Wendell, who was rather shocked about it! Then, after I explained my relationship with my brothers was more important than my relationship with things, Wendell was touched by that kind act and decided that, after being obsessed with Serling for the past eighty years when first saw him as a kid, he would let go of his obsession as just like we did!" Donnie explained. "Eighty years?" Everyone asked in confusion. "Yeah, turns out that the boy, who's wind-up toy soldier was blown up by Serling in the past, was actually Wendell the entire time!" Mikey explained. "Freaky." Aurachnid said.

"Once Wendell had given up his obsession, I had noted that Serling looked kinda ugly, only for Serling to insult me back by stating that I smelled! That convinced us to throw Serling into the trashcan! Afterwards, us turtles had left the toy store with our father while Wendell promised to keep our existence a secret!" Mikey explained. "We're not really sure what happened to him later. Come to think of it, we haven't thought about him in a while." Leo said. "True! We were toddlers back then, so maybe we should check up on Wendell as soon as we find a way to get back to our dimension!" Donnie noted. "What happened to Serling afterwards?" Lisa asked. "Oh yeah! As soon as we all left, Serling was brought back to the present and returned to normal size by Donnie after we had realized that he had gone missing and discovering his Time Window! After he told us about the day he had, us Turtles immediately remembered our encounter with him and we all thought he looked different in the past, which was why we didn't recognize him as our old toy!" Mikey explained. "Even as teenagers, a robot is smarter than you." Lisa muttered. "We then went on an adventure where during on a quest for more of Splinter's data bits, Cyber Shredder hit us with a powerful virus that erased our memories, turning us into mindless drones of the Foot, forcing April, Casey, and Serling to get into action, and a near scare where he nearly got into the real world following an experiment involving animals from websites that got mutated, we ended up looking for some of Splinter's data bits in Mikey's favorite game, Super Quest." Raph said. That last bit got Lincoln, Lana, and Clyde very excited.

"Oh boy." Lori said. "Did you guys become characters inside of the game?!" Lincoln asked in excitement. "We sure did! I became my own in-game character the White Knight, who possessed a powerful Laser Lance, Leo became a Changling, who can transform into various different types of animals, Donnie became a Sorcerer, who can cast defensive and offensive spells, and Raph became a Court Jester, with his clothing being colored like Harley Quinn from DC Comics!" Mikey answered, much to Raph's chagrin. "Weird, based on similarities between you and Luan, I'd have thought you'd be the Court Jester." Lisa surmised. "Well, given the fact that I had already played SuperQuest as the White Knight, it would be quite obvious that I would become the White Knight when entering the game though the Cyber Portal! Especially since, unlike my brothers, I'm a pro-gamer!" Mikey explained. "Yes, but I think Raphael gets my point." Lisa said, pointing to the red mask wearing turtle who was grumbling at the memory of the outfit he was forced to wear that day.

"Of course, upon entering the game, we had participate in a quest in order to find the two keys that unlock the treasure chest, since there were 20 of Master Splinter's data bits inside that chest along with the treasure!" Donnie explained. "The first place we went to in order to get the keys was a castle where we met an ice monster!" Leo said. "And at the same time, we had to compete with this guy called the Elfinator, don't know his real life identity by the way, who want the treasure as well!" Mikey explained. "And while the Elfinator got to go on wings, we had to go with an NPC rower!" Mikey said. "Eventually, after crossing the river with the NPC rower, we made it to the castle! But, before we could inside, we were met by a witch, who would only grant us entry if we give her a token of affection!" Leo explained. "I'm Bi, and even I don't like where this is going." Luna said. "Well, apparently Raph thought it meant giving the witch a kiss! Unfortunately, he thought wrong! Once he tried to kiss her, the witch turned Raph into a frog in jester's clothing out of disgust!" Mikey explained, much to Raph's chagrin. Everyone laughed at that.

"*GROAN!* That really gave me another reason to hate that game!" Raph said in annoyance. "And holograms in general." He added. "Eventually, I scrolled through my inventory and found a heart-shaped item called an Affection Token! As soon as I took it out of the inventory, I gave the Affection Token to the witch, who happily accepted it and granted us entry into the castle!" Mikey explained. "Still wish you had remembered having that before!" Raph angrily said. "Anyway, after entering the castle, we all saw the first key hovering above us, high in the air! Of course, we also saw a lot of players fighting over it in the background!" Mikey explained. "It was chaos!" Raph said. "Eventually, after I triggered my Changling abilities while my brothers were caught in the middle of the fight and after I had transformed into different animals, including a cat, a crab, a penguin, and a goldfish, I eventually took on the form of a giraffe that was tall enough to reach the key! Unfortunately, the Elfinator took advantage of that and climbed up my neck before grabbing the first key!" Leo explained.

"Nothing worse than gamers who do that without permission." Lincoln said, Clyde nodding in agreement. "After the Elfinator had beaten us to the first key, I decided to take my brothers to the item shop, where players buy weapon upgrades with experience points, in order to prepare for the second and final quest! While I got the Laser Lance boost, Raph and Leo got some sais and katanas from the "Weapons of the Orient" section, even though those weapons were strictly low-end in SuperQuest!" Mikey explained. "In other words, mainly for level one newbies?" Lincoln asked. "Exactly! Though, it didn't stop my brothers from buying them anyway, since they stated that those weapons were not low-end in their hands!" Mikey answered. "A true ninja can make anything a weapon. One of the things I learned in my early days. It's how I came up with my Mizu Shuriken and Denki Shita techniques." Gorf said, summoning some shuriken made out of water.

"Whoa!" Mikey said in amazement. "Wait, Denki Shita? Electric tongue?" Mikey asked in confusion. As soon as Mikey said that, Gorf shot out his electrified tongue at a nearby practice dummy and wrapped it around, causing to be electrocuted before exploding. "Too bad that wasn't a Neo-Lizardon." Gorf said. "Anyway..." Leo started saying. "As soon as the Admin Wizard told us that the second quest was to go up to the top of Mount Drago, us Turtles, along with the other players, immediately raced to where the second key was located! However, upon arriving there, we were all met by a fierce three-headed dragon that immediately attacked us with its fire breath! Even worse, the second key was tied around its middle neck!" Mikey explained. "Oh come on!" Lincoln said in frustration. "Fortunately, as we all took shelter behind a large rock, I had noticed that, since the dragon was a boss, it had an obvious weak point and had a programmed cycle of attack! In the dragon's case, its weak point was when it exposes its belly after attacking with its fire breath!" Donnie explained.

"A classic weak spot." Lincoln noted. "After we all attacked that weak spot three times, the dragon was destroyed and then we had managed to retrieve the second key!" Raph explained. "When Elfinator and I were about to open the chest, the NPC showed up, revealing himself to be the 'Ultimate Gamer'." Leo said. "The most feared person in the entire game!" Mikey added. "Think of him like one of those malevolent Black Knight type of characters!" Raph explained. "Yeah! The Ultimate Gamer, who's real life identity we don't know about, was a Class 80 Warrior with a mean streak and he was going to take the treasure in the chest, even though he didn't even earn it like we did! Of course, when I tried to tell the Admin Wizard that the Ultimate Gamer was cheating, we got no response from him and all we heard was snoring! Apparently, the guy who plays the Admin Wizard in real life must have fallen asleep on the job!" Mikey explained. "Incompetent morons." Lisa muttered.

"As soon as that happened, the Ultimate Gamer laughed and decided to attack us with his various arsenal of powerful moves, such as the Sure Shot Aura Attack from his sword, the Arcane Missile Launch from the cannons on his shoulders, and the Eyes of Cobra from his three glowing red eyes!" Mikey explained. "No wonder he's the most feared person in the game!" Sakura noted. "Of course, as soon as the Ultimate Gamer's back was turned and we all got up, the Elfinator told Leo that since he was a Changling and the Ultimate Gamer was a Warrior, who's only weakness was a White Lion, he can transform into a White Lion in order to destroy him! However, since the Ultimate Gamer was a Class 80 Warrior, the only way for Leo's White Lion form to be powerful enough to destroy him would be for the Elfinator, Donnie, and I to chain our weapons for an Infield Power Boost! So, in order to give us enough time to do so, we needed someone to distract him and that job would go to Raph!" Mikey explained.

"Yet another reason to hate that game and holograms." Raph muttered angrily. "What exactly did Raphael-san do to distract the Ultimate Gamer?" Sakura asked. "Oh! That's easy! Raph sang and danced in front of the Ultimate Gamer, kind of like Michigan J. Frog from "Looney Tunes"!" Mikey answered, causing everyone to burst out in laughter, much to Raph's anger. "Please tell me you got that on video!" Luan said through her laughter. "Sadly, No! We were too busy with giving Leo an Infield Power Boost for his White Lion form to even think about putting it on video!" Mikey answered. "Dang it!" Luan said, snapping her fingers. "Speak for yourself." Raph grumbled. "Anyway, while the Ultimate Gamer was distracted, the Elfinator, Donnie, and I chained our weapons and then shot the Infield Power Boost at Leo! Then, after I convinced him to believe in the game, Leo immediately transformed into a White Lion! As soon as Raph was finished with his distraction, Leo, in his White Lion form, jumped towards the Ultimate Gamer and phased into his body like a ghost, causing the Ultimate Gamer to be destroyed from the inside out!" Mikey explained. "If only we knew who he really was. I'd like to see the look on his face when his precious character got blown to kingdom come!" Raph said. "That's one of the beauties of that kind of games, Raph. It's all anonymous. For all we know, the Ultimate Gamer could have been some geeky Asian pre-teen!" Lincoln joked.

"And possibly even female one at that!" Sakura added. This got the turtles laughing. "That's a good one!" Mikey said. "Yeah, and Elfinator was Hun all along!" Raph joked. However, the girls, especially Stella, didn't like what the turtles were insinuating. Lincoln noticed the looks on all the girls' faces. "Oh boy." He said, backing away nervously. "Are you guys saying that girls aren't as good at playing online games as guys?!" Stella asked in anger. This got the turtles, except Mikey, who was still laughing at the idea, to shut up. Then, Stella grabbed a guitar by the stick end, angrily walked over towards Mikey, and then shouted "KABONG!" before slamming the guitar right on top of Mikey's head *KABONG!*. "OW! THAT SMARTS!" Mikey shouted in pain. "Say anything bad about a girl's skills with stuff normally associated with boys or their skills as a whole again and the pain will be much worse!" Lynn said as she and every girl in the room cracked their knuckles. "The same thing will happen if you dare to say anything against the idea about girls playing as guys! I should know, because I had disguised myself as a boy, named Yodel Boy, once!" Stella added in anger.

"Okay, okay, yeesh. Just where did you guys even get those guitars from?" Mikey asked, rubbing his head. "From the guitar closet, of course! We had that recently installed in the base, in case Luna needs to practice with her songs and in case she needs any extra guitars to replace ones that get broken by accident!" Lisa answered as she then opened a nearby door to reveal a closet filled with various different types of guitars. "I had to ask." Mikey said. "Anyway..." Leo said. "After defeating the Ultimate Gamer, the Elfinator decided to let me take what I wanted, which was the data bits, after saying I had earned it!" Leo explained. "We never did find out who he really was, but who knows, maybe it was one of our old enemies?" Mikey asked nervously looking at the girls who all looked like they were ready to grab guitars at the slightest faux pas. "Not long after that, we had another encounter with Cyber Shredder that was just like that movie 'Inception', but with Cyberspace rather than dreams." Raph said. "Basically, the Cyber Shredder had tricked us into believing that we had returned to the real world before the Cyber Portal had exploded into pieces!" Leo explained.

"But as we soon realized, we were still in Cyberspace!" Donnie said. "Even worse, Donnie was tricked into making a Cyber Portal for the Cyber Shredder while believing that he was fixing the real thing!" Mikey explained. "He's definitely the smartest of the three Shredders." Lisa noted. "Of course, once Leo, Raph, and I realized that we were still in Cyberspace, we immediately activated our Cybernaut Armor and summoned our cyber vehicles in order to warn Donnie! Unfortunately, the Cyber Shredder wasn't going to allow that and tried to stop us! First, he tried to fight us by manifesting multiple arms from his body! Then, he tried to stop us our cyber vehicles in their tracks by altering the layout of the false New York and even create a massive mountain-like tower in order to block us!" Mikey explained. "That clever little being." Lisa noted.

"Fortunately, by ignoring the effects and remembering that logic was not linear in Cyberspace, we all had literally broke through the illusion, just before Donnie was finished with making a Cyber Portal for the Cyber Shredder! Then, after explaining things to Donnie, we all headed back to the real world through the genuine Cyber Portal!" Leo explained. "Unfortunately, as we soon realized, the Cyber Shredder had managed to get a small piece of himself through in the form of a cockroach who was able to snag a small piece of cyber energy." Mikey admitted. "That was all that it took to allow the Cyber Shredder to fully manifest himself into the real world through a Cyber Portal that was made and located in Foot Headquarters by Khan and his Foot Ninjas!" Donnie explained, much to everyone's horror. "That's horrible!" Lincoln said. "It gets worse, I'm afraid! As soon as the Cyber Shredder entered the real world, the first he did was take out the Purple Dragons and Hun, causing them to be beaten till unconscious!" Raph explained. "He then began to take over New York's central mainframe and all of it's electronics!" Mikey said.

"We should know, since Mikey and I had stop a runaway subway train from crashing into a stationary one!" Leo explained. Everyone gasped at that. "You know what's funny? There was once a time where people paid good money to watch train crashes. (Look It Up) That ended after one particular crash caused several injuries and fatalities." Lisa said. "*GASP!* You must be referring to the Crash at Crush!" Donnie noted. "That would be correct, my terrapin friend." Lisa said. "So, what did guys do about the attack on the mainframe?" Lincoln asked. "Well, for starters, we had get to the mainframe itself, activate a small EMP bomb in order to reboot the system, and then upload a worm-killer program into it in order to free the city from the Cyber Shredder's control!" Donnie explained "Of course, it wasn't easy! First, when us Turtles, along with April and Casey, tried to go through the streets on our vehicles, we were attacked by bursting fire hydrants and water erupting from the streets, due the water pipes being manipulated by the Cyber Shredder! Then, when we traveled in the sewers, the floodgates had opened and we had no other choice but to dive under and swim for it! Fortunately, we all managed to make out alive and arrive at the Central Mainframe Building!" Mikey explained.

The mention of swimming in sewer water made Lana excited and Lola disgusted. "As soon as we entered the building and found the mainframe, Kahn and his Foot Ninjas showed up in front of us! But then, they gave way to the Cyber Shredder, much to our own horror since didn't actually see him leave Cyberspace the last time we saw him!" Leo explained. "That must have been terrifying!" Lincoln said. "You have no idea!" Mikey answered. "As soon the Cyber Shredder appeared we immediately decided to fight him as well as Khan and the Foot Ninjas!" Raph explained. "We would have been an excellent assistance, I bet." Lincoln said. "While everyone else was fighting, and after Raph had knocked Khan unconscious under a pile of equipment, April and raced to the mainframe, where I immediately installed the EMP bomb that disrupted the system long enough for April to upload the worm-killer from my laptop!" Donnie explained. "As soon as April began to upload the worm-killer, us Turtles and Casey immediately went and fought the Cyber Shredder all the way to a back-up power station filled with generators that provide energy for essential city services!" Mikey explained.

This got everyone on the edge of their seats. "After the Cyber Shredder went and took Casey and my bros, he went after me next! As soon I dodged his slash, which caused him to cut down a structural beam attached to a bridge section, and saw the generators below, I immediately kept on dodging his slashes and tricked him into cutting more structural beams until the bridge section he was standing on collapsed! That caused him to fall on top of one of the generators and be electrocuted until that generator explodes!" Mikey explained. Lincoln chuckled at that. "As soon as the smoke cleared we saw the Cyber Shredder laying flat on the floor and he was all smoked and crispy!" Raph explained. Everyone sighed in relief. "When all saw that, we pretty assumed that the Cyber Shredder was dead and we all immediately went home as soon as police started to arrive at building! As for Kahn and the Foot Ninja, they got away!" Raph explained. "Unfortunately, we later learned just how wrong we were." Mikey informed them. "After an adventure involving the Justice Force and a hero named the Green Mantle, we had finally found all the Data Bits needed to bring back Master Splinter." Raph said.

"Once all of the data bits were put together and after I had reversed the polarity of the Cyber Portal, I was able to bring Master Splinter back into the real world in one piece!" Donnie. "And must say that it was good to be whole again!" Said Master Splinter. "And just in time, too! Because April and Casey's wedding was near!" Mikey said, which got the girls excited. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The girls squealed, causing the room to shake once more and everyone else to cover their ears in pain. "Can you please stop doing that?!" Mikey asked. "Yeah! Any more squealing and we'd might as well be rendered deaf!" Raph angrily added. "How do you think I feel?" Lincoln asked. The girls simply rolled their eyes. "Girls! Apologize Immediately!" Lynn Sr. said in a scolding tone. "We're sorry." They all chorused. "We literally couldn't help it!" Lori added. "It's okay. Anyway, as we started preparing for the wedding, with several familiar faces in attendance. The Ancient One, the Ninja Tribunal, Leatherhead, Casey's mom and his cousin Sid Jones, our Acolyte friends, Usagi and Gen, Mortu and a few Utroms, even Professor Honeycutt, who would be performing the ceremony, just to name a few." Mikey said. "That must have been surprising for Casey's mom and Sid." Luna noted.

"Well, Casey's mom already knew about us Turtles and Splinter from the get go, even though we tried to hide from her during the first time we saw her! As for Sid Jones, we first saw him when we were healing from our wounds after the Utrom Shredder was banished on an ice asteroid! Apparently, Sid Jones was looking for a buried treasure that Casey's grandfather had stolen and hidden at the farm because he had to pay back a huge gambling debt he owed to the Purple Dragons. He was even desperate enough to bring a Federation blaster and point it at Casey and April in order to force them to find it! Of course, we stayed hidden when that happened! Heck, even when a group of Purple Dragons, lead by this guy named Spuds, showed up at the farm, we secretly fought off each one while still injured and unseen! That eventually forced Spuds to get serious and try to take April hostage at gunpoint with a Triceraton blaster! Unfortunately for him, April was able to use some moves that Master Splinter taught her in order to toss Spuds across the room and beat him into submission! It wasn't until Casey grabbed Spuds' blaster and threatened to use it to destroy his SUV, something that Spud cherishes more than anything, that Spuds immediately called off the dept against Sid Jones, right before he and his men fled and never came back! As for Casey's cousin Sid, he and Casey were able to find the buried treasure in same place where Casey's grandfather's dog Spot was buried after his death! Unfortunately for Sid, when he opened the box, it filled with nothing but receipts! Apparently, Casey's grandmother found the money first a long time ago and, to make up for her husband's sins, she gave all of it to various charities! Sid was disappointed by that revelation, but he shared a laugh with Casey and April! We haven't seen Sid Jones since then! At least, not until the wedding! Of course, Casey's mom told Sid about us, but she threatened to bust Side's kneecaps if tells anyone else!" Raph explained. This caused everyone to start laughing. "It all seemed like it was going to be a normal, everyday wedding, at least normal and everyday as you can get with this kind of guest list, but then, he returned." Leo said.

"You mean, the Cyber Shredder?! But How?! Didn't you guys kill him?!" Lincoln asked in shock and surprise. "Apparently not." Mikey said regretfully. "While his body was damaged, his digital core was not! Then, the Cyber Shredder's gauntlet pierced a nearby wire, allowing him to return to cyber space and the energy he absorbed, as a result of the electrical surge, made him stronger than ever! Not only that, but the Cyber Shredder succeeded in infecting one of the last of Splinter's data bits with a line of code, before we obtained it that is, that, once converted into matter, became a homing beacon that the Cyber Shredder used to track us all the way to the farmhouse! Plus, when I had managed to reconstitute Splinter, the Cyber Shredder received that information to the process, which allowed him to duplicate the process on himself!" Donnie explained. "Even worse, the Cyber Shredder did not come alone! He had also brought Khan and an army Foot Ninjas to attack us!" Mikey explained. "And he chose that day of all days to enact his plan?!" Lori asked in disgust. "Some people just have no manners!" She angrily said.

"Wedding Crashers!" Lola angrily shouted while shaking her right fist in the air. "That's the worst kind of party crasher!" Leni said in disgust. "Yeah! That's seriously NOT funny!" Luan said in irritation. "So what happened?" Lincoln asked. "So, after Master Splinter got knocked unconscious by the Cyber Shredder, and after the Cyber Shredder arrived with Khan and the Foot Ninjas, we immediately fought the Cyber Shredder while April, Casey, and the wedding guests fought Khan and the Foot Ninjas! Of course, since the Cyber Shredder was stronger than usual, he was rather more difficult to take down! Heck, he even picked up a piano and tossed it at us, causing us Turtles to smacked straight out of the barn!" Mikey explained. Everyone cringed at that. "It gets worse! Once we were out of the barn, the Cyber Shredder then ordered Khan and all his troops outside while he slashed the supports of the barn roof, causing the building to collapse on April, Casey, Splinter, Serling, and the wedding guests, much to our own shock and horror!" Leo explained.

"As if crashing a wedding wasn't bad enough! Now he destroys the beautiful setting and places all the guests that came all that way in danger?!" Leni asked in horror. "Well, I know someone who will not be on the guest list on mine and Bobby's wedding in the future." Lori said. "Thankfully, the wedding guests survived, as Hisomi and Leatherhead were able to hold up the debris, allowing everyone to make their escape outside and continue the fight while Serling and I got Splinter to the Turtle Hauler!" Donnie explained. "As for Leo, Raph, and I, we tried to hold off the Cyber Shredder, but he had picked up a metal windmill from its base and smacked us with it!" Mikey explained. Everyone cringed at that. "Fortunately, we were soon joined by some more familiar faces, the Justice Force, now joined by that Green Mantle guy we mentioned earlier!" Mikey said. "This Green Mantle sounds a lot like that DC Comics superhero Green Lantern!" Clyde noted. "Yeah, come to think of it, his name was similar too!" Mikey realized.

"Not to mention the fact that his real name was Al Gordon, which coincidently rhymes with Hal Jordan, the identity of one of the Earth-based Green Lanterns!" He added. "And while he doesn't have all of Green Lantern's powers, his cape is the source of his powers, much like the Lantern's ring." Raph said. "I should know, since I actually wore that cape once!" He added. "We both did! But that's a long story." Mikey said. "Anyway..." Leo started saying. "While the Justice Force was taking out Khan and the Foot Ninjas, Serling and I had brought Master Splinter into the Turtle Hauler! After remembering that the Cyber Shredder had a digital core, I can simply get a sampling of his coding signature in order to use it against him! That's because I had determined that, since the Cyber Shredder was born out of Viral's body, he would inherit some of her digital coding, even when given a physical form! Thankfully, that sampling was the homing beacon in Splinter's ear, attached to one of his ear hairs! After finding and removing the homing beacon, I then converted it back into code, so we would have all data we need to destroy the Cyber Shredder the same way we destroyed Viral, with Serling's decompiling blast!" Donnie explained. "Yes, because that ended up working so well in the end." Lisa said sarcastically, reminding them of what happened after Viral's destruction at the hands of the decompiler.

"Fortunately, I had thought of that, and made some improvements to the decompiler so that wouldn't happen again." Donnie said. "Oh! I See!" Lisa said in satisfaction. "Anyway, while the Justice Force was able to defeat Khan and the Foot Ninjas, they were no match for the Cyber Shredder, since he was strong enough to simply swat them away without any effort! Then, just as the Cyber Shredder was about to finish off Leo, Raph, and I, Master Splinter and Donnie, who was piloting Serling in his Turtle X mode, arrived at the scene! However, as Donnie blasted the decompiler at him, the Cyber Shredder defended himself by using a spike on his left gauntlet to activate force field that couldn't be penetrated by the decompiler beam!" Mikey explained. "Dang it!" Lincoln said, snapping his fingers. "Too bad you didn't have Mecha-Pollon-chan." Sakura said as the robotic angelic dog barked from his doghouse/charging station. "That brings me to an interesting question, how did you guys make Mecha-Pollon and those jets that form Aquarion?" Donnie asked. "That's the thing, we didn't make them! They were actually given to us!" Clyde answered. "Really? Then, who made them and why were they given to you guys in the first place?" Donnie asked further.

"This organization named Neo-DEAVA. They're in another world. They, along with their predecessors, the original DEAVA, created the Vectors to combat world threatening beings. When they discovered our world, as well as the fact that the Animarius Empire has a spawn of the Tree of Life, which was a big thing 24,000 years in their past, they sent the Vectors and Mecha-Pollon-chan as acts of goodwill." Sakura explained. "Not only that, but Lincoln, Sakura, and I were invited to an upcoming wedding for two members of Neo-DEAVA, Amata Sora and Mikono Suzushiro, which is very special to them!" Clyde explained. "Whoa! How special, exactly?" Mikey asked in curiosity. "As Mikono-Senpai said, it's a wedding 24,000 years in the making!" Sakura explained. "Long story short, but Amata and Mikono are in fact reincarnations of two individuals from 12,000 years in their worlds past named Apollo and Silvia, who in turn were reincarnations of a winged hound-like Shadow Angel named Pollon and a human girl named Celiane from another 12,000 years before that!" Lincoln explained. "And what exactly is reincarnation and what's a Shadow Angel?" Mikey asked in confusion.

"You know how Buddhists and Hindus believe in reincarnation?" Lisa asked, to which the Turtles nodded. "It's essentially like that." She answered. "And as for Shadow Angels." Sakura said, petting Mecha-Pollon's smooth metal body, much to his robotic delight. "They were a race of supernatural beings, from a heavenly realm called Atlandia, that take on many forms, ranging from human-like to creatures straight out of mythology and beyond! One thing they had in common was they all had wings, whether they be bird-like, bat-like, or even insect-like! They had also possessed supernatural powers such as astral projection, levitation, telepathy, and phasing through matter! One other thing they had in common is that they were all born from a massive flower-covered tree called The Tree of Life!" Sakura explained. "There were two brothers, Apollonius and Toma." Lincoln said.

"Apollonius used to be known as "The Angel of Slaughter" who, along with his twin brother Toma and a few other Shadow Angels, harvested humans for their Prana, also known as their lifeforce, in order to feed the Tree of Life, which in turn feeds the Shadow Angels with its energy! What's even worse is that while Shadow Angels were psychologically similar to humans, they do not consider humans as sentient beings in their own right! In fact, they didn't think that humans were capable of thinking and feeling at all! As a result, the Shadow Angels had no qualms against slaughtering humans and using them like cattle!" Lisa explained, much to the shock and horror of the Ninja Turtles, Master Splinter, Andros, Phixia, and everyone else. "Mecha Pollon was patterned after Apollonius' companion, Pollon, when Apollonius met Celliane, his whole view changed." Clyde said. "Instantly, Apollonius and Celiane fell in love and then helped humanity fight against the Shadow Angels!" Lincoln explained.

"Pollon joined Apollonius, and actually fell in love with Cellian-san himself." Sakura said, confusing the turtles. "Yeah, we don't really understand the semantics there, either. But Pollon-chan knew better than to get in between Apollonius and Cellian." Lisa said. "A war broke out, Apollonius and Pollon joined Cellian and the humans. It cost Apollonius dearly." Lincoln said. "In order to save Celiane from being executed by an insectoid Shadow Angel named Moroha, after he caught Celiane trying to rescue Apollonius from the Shadow Angels that captured him, Apollonius went and tore off his wings from his back that were pinned to a wall, right before he blocked Moroha's attack!" Lincoln explained. Everyone who wasn't in the base when the Vectors first arrived gasped in shock. "Later on, Apollonius went and created a powerful weapon alongside humanity in order to defeat the Shadow Angels and their giant mechanical soldiers known as Cherubim Soldiers! That very weapon was known as the Mechanical Angel Aquarion!" Sakura explained. "That Aquarion would become the basis for the Aquarion used by both DEAVA and Neo-DEAVA, as well as ours." Lincoln said. "A great battle erupted, Apollonius and Pollon didn't make it in the end." Clyde said. "Fortunately, Celiane used a glowing yellow crystal and recited a poem that caused the realm of Atlandia to be sealed away and the Shadow Angels to sleep for 12,000 years!" Clyde explained.

"12,000 years later, Apollonius, Pollon, and Celliane's spirits were reincarnated." Lincoln said. "While Pollon reincarnated as a human named Apollo, Celiane's soul actually split into two individuals upon reincarnating, Silvia and her older brother Sirius! As for Apollonius, he had reincarnated as the founder and leader of DEAVA, Gen Fudou!" Sakura explained. "Long story short, DEAVA started fighting a resurging Shadow Angels, using Aquarion to fend off their invasion." Sakura said. "Apollo, Silvia, and Sirius, along with other people with special powers called Elements, became pilots of Aquarion, which required three people to control it! Whatever three Elements pilot Aquarion, their own individual powers would be augmented and used by Aquarion when fighting the Shadow Angels!" Clyde explained. "Apollo and Silvia ended up falling in love over time, but in the final battle, Apollo sacrificed himself to save the world." Lincoln explained. "Why, you ask? Because, during the final battle against Toma, who was the last remaining Shadow Angel, the Tree of Life started dying after it was not properly pollinated by Aquarion's Solar Wings since it needed a Shadow Angel to pilot it in order for it to work and there was no Shadow Angel piloting it at the time! As a result of the Tree of Life dying, its roots, that contain the lifeforce of that universe's Earth, would crumble and that very lifeforce would burst worth and tear the planet apart, which would result in that Earth becoming a lifeless planet forever! So, Toma had to team up with Sirius and Apollo in Aquarion in order to literally stitch the planet back together while also sacrificing their own lives in the process!" Sakura explained.

"And as an unforeseen circumstance, their Earth was split into two: The planets Altair and Vega." Lincoln explained. "While Vega was thriving, Altair wasn't, due to something called "The Curse of Eve", which caused all the females of Altair's human population to suddenly fall ill and die while only the males survived! Because of that, if the males don't mate with any females, the human population of Altair would slowly go extinct!" Clyde explained. "So they decided to start kidnapping the women of Vega." Sakura said. "How, you ask? By using an interdimensional portal to Vega that would allow advanced machines called Abductors to travel there in mass numbers and capture as many female humans as possible before going back to Altair with their catch! Unfortunately, even if they successfully capture their targets, most of the human females wouldn't survive the dimensional trip! Those that do survive would unfortunately be affected by the curse as well, either by dying or by slowly changing into males themselves!" Aurachnid explained.

"Yikes!" Donnie said. "So, Zen Fudo, Gen's reincarnation formed Neo-DEAVA, which eventually recruited Amata and Mikono." Lincoln said. "They, along with other Elements, piloted a new Aquarion called Aquarion EVOL in order to combat the Abductors! Of course, there was one major villain pulling the strings in the background named Mikage, who was the reincarnation of Toma, who thought that Apollo was the reincarnation of Apollonius only to discover in horror that he was actually the reincarnation of Pollon!" Clyde explained. "That lead to a bunch of stuff we don't really have the time to explain, but know that Amata was reincarnated from Apollo, and Mikono was reincarnated from Silvia." Aurachnid said. "Fortunately, Mikage was permanently defeated and Altair was freed from "The Curse of Eve", so Vega is no longer at war with Altair and the two planets are no longer separated by dimensions but within the space as one another! As for the Tree of Life, before it died, it produced a single fruit called a Genesis Fruit, which then left its home universe and entered ours while landing on a planet known as Animari Prime, the home planet of the Animarius race, becoming the very Tree of Life that King Draco holds in his castle, though it looks completely different from its predecessor, most likely due to growing and adapting to environment on Animari Prime!" Sakura explained.

"When Zen Fudo discovered this, as well as learning about our exploits, Neo-DEAVA sent us these Vectors and Mecha-Pollon as gestures of goodwill, later inviting us to Amata and Mikono's wedding." Lincoln said. "Whooooooa!" Said all four Ninja Turtles in awe and amazement. "I must say that it must be quite an honor for you all to be invited to a wedding, especially one that's set in another universe!" Master Splinter noted. "Yeah, we were surprised by it, but still." Sakura said. "But enough about us, what happened when Cyber Shredder blocked the decompiler's beam?" Lincoln asked excitedly. "Well, while the Cyber Shredder's force field was impervious to the decompiler beam, Master Splinter figured that it wouldn't be impervious to flesh and blood! So, he immediately dashed through the force field, battled the Cyber Shredder, and then disabled his shield generating spike on his left gauntlet! That caused the force field to dissipate and enabled Serling and I to obliterate the Cyber Shredder for good!" Donnie explained.

"Afterwards, the ceremony resumed, with the Rat King, long story, The Damiyo, Ultimate Ninja, Cody Via his new and improved Time Window, watching as well." Leo said. "The event ended with Professor Honeycutt, who became the minister for the wedding, pronouncing Casey and April as man and wife, right before the latter two kissing each other!" Mikey explained. "Heck, we even had that moment recorded on video! Fortunately, we have that video copied into the Shell Phone as well as various back-up USB drives in case something happens!" Donnie explained as he then pulled out another USB drive and handed it over to Lisa. "AWWWWW!" The Loud sisters all said. "Not long after that, we had an encounter with Baxter Stockman, who was still far off from being the redeemed brainstem we encountered in 2105." Leo said. "Us four Turtles were out in the streets using our extreme sports gear and showing off to one another! I had attempted to jump a pothole on my skateboard, when the street around the pothole crumbled, dropping me into the sewer. There, a giant mutant bug captured me! Fortunately, my brothers freed me and then us Turtles beat down the bug, only for the street to give way again! That caused the bug and usTurtles to drop into the sewer! Then, the bug scampered away, only to return with more mutants, with one resembling an Ankylosaurus, one resembling a gliding lizard and one resembling a cross between a centipede and a scorpion!" Mikey explained.

"EWWW!" Lola said. "Cool!" Lana said while Aurachnid started panicking at the mention of a scorpion. "Us Turtles faced down the mutants in the sewers! Unfortunately, they were a lot tougher than we thought! So, Leonardo indicated that we needed an upgrade to take on the mutants! That's when the four of us went back to our lair and suited up in awesome battle gear, with a jackhammer for Leo, a grappling gun for Donnie, a buzzsaw for Raph, and a power drill for myself! Then, us Turtles went back to the sewers and slayed the mutants with our new gear, which caused them to explode into yellow-green goo! Afterwards, Donnie theorized that the abandoned sewer in which were were fighting the monsters was not an 'ordinary' one, as he wiped some sludge off of a door, revealing the Purple Dragons logo! Then, the door swings open, revealing several Purple Dragon members and Hun on the other side!" Mikey explained. "That guy again?!" Lynn complained. "Unfortunately." Leo answered. "At least it wasn't another Shredder." Lincoln said.

"Fortunately, we had soundly defeated the Purple Dragons, before Raph finished things off by constricting Hun from up a rafter! Then, we immediately interrogated Hun about the monsters' origins, only for him to reveal that he had no clue about them and that the Purple Dragons had nothing to do with it! Afterwards, he told us that only people that would be the possible culprits behind the monster would be the Foot!" Donnie explained. "Of course." Lincoln said. "Then us Turtles went back to our lair to wield together some advanced armor and weaponry and then relayed about how Hun told them that The Foot was behind the monstrous beasts we had faced earlier! Using the Turtle Hauler, we had tunneled beneath Foot Headquarters, interrupting Master Khan's pep talk to his minions regarding attacking New York City!" Mikey explained. "He's in charge of the Foot now?" Lola asked in surprise. "I guess when the Cyber Shredder was destroyed, Khan took it upon himself to finish what he started." Donnie said. "But what about Karai?" Lana asked.

"Last we saw her, before we encountered those monstrous mutants that is, she and Dr. Chaplin were guests at April and Casey's wedding! Heck, they even helped the other guests fight against the Foot when they crashed the wedding!" Raph explained. "That's good to know." Lola said. "Anyway, once we invaded their headquarters, us Turtles then immediately battled the Foot! Khan gets the upper hand on Leo, and I attempted to save him with the Turtle Hauler's missile launcher! Unfortunately, I had ended up hitting a column, causing some of the ceiling to fall on us Turtles! Then, after we got ourselves out from the rubble, Khan and the Foot started advancing towards us!" Mikey explained. "Oh, that's not good!" Lincoln said. "However, before they could get close enough, Khan and the Foot Ninjas suddenly grew frightened and then fled! Mikey believed himself to be the catalyst of our foes' retreat, but then a mutant T-Rex wirh rhinoceros horns on its head was revealed to be behind him! Then, while we engaged the mutant dinosaur in battle, Leo launched himself from the front loader on the Turtle Hauler for an attempted air rush attack! However, the T-Rex catched Leo in his mouth, closing its jaws around him! Leo almost got eaten by the mutant T-Rex but managed to free himself! However, the T-Rex grabbed Leo again and tried to escape in the sewers with him! The rest of us chased the mutant dinosaur through the tunnels and fired missiles at it from the Shell Wagon until Leo was finally freed! Unfortunately, the mutant T-Rex had returned with some friends, specifically more mutant T-Rexes as well as more of the same types of mutants we had fought earlier!" Raph explained.

"Oh come on!" Aurachnid complained. "After we had managed to defeat the mutants by using the Turtle Hauler to ram some of them down into slime before taking down a few support beams that caused the ceiling to collapse onto the rest of them, Baxter Stockman finally revealed himself on our vehicle's monitor as the big bad behind all the madness and challenged us Turtles to defeat him!" Mikey explained. "That despicable fiend! He's lucky I ran out of respect for him hours ago!" Lisa said. "As soon as we found the location of Baxter Stockman's Island Lab, we took the Turtle Copter and headed there! At the same, Donnie was working on some new mech suits for us! Eventually, we were arriving on Baxter's mutant island, only to be suddenly attacked by flying lizard mutants! When Baxter's flying lizard mutants managed to tear our Turtle Copter out of the sky and caused it to crash onto the beach, Baxter thought he had finally won and would be able to take over New York! But, us Turtles had managed to survive as we had escaped from the Turtle Copter before it crashed by piloting our new battle-ready Heavy Metal Armor, which we then used to safely land on the island! Stockman then ordered his mutants to attack us Turtles! Of course, as we fought them, we had demonstrated that our new Heavy Metal Armor that can transform into various vehicles, which came in handy when we needed it! While he chasing Stockman, Donnie had discovered that the villain was actually radio controlling the mutants by using an antenna! Donnie then went up to the antenna and tried to destroy it, but before he can, some flying lizard mutants kidnapped him and flew him up high in the sky!" Mikey explained.

Everyone gulped at that. "Fortunately, I had rescued Donnie by firing my armor's shoulder lasers at the flying mutants! Then, after he used his armor to grab on to the antenna, Donnie immediately set his armor to self-destruct and jumped out just before it exploded, causing the antenna to be finally destroyed! That causec the mutants to stop attacking us and suddenly become friendly! Apparently, they were actually quite docile when they were not controlled by Stockman's radio waves! Once that was done, we had decided to "borrow" Stockman's boat in order to return home! While we did so, Baxter was curious enough to find out why there was no more fighting to hear! Then, after Stockman came out of his lair, he gets chased by the friendly mutants, who just wanted to become his friends, much to his own chagrin! Heck, we even laughed at the sight of Stockman being chased by the now friendly mutant creatures!" Raph explained, causing everyone to burst out in laughter. "Not long after that, we had another unique adventure. One that crosses time and space!" Leo said.

"Of course, before all that happened, we had managed to repair Serling's Time Window and we were able to send Serling back to the year 2105, much to his own delight!" Donnie explained. "At least he got a happy ending!" Sakura said. "Yeah, and even despite everything, Serling actually said he was going to miss us! But you didn't hear that from us!" Mikey said with a chuckle. "Hehe! True That!" Clyde replied. "Anyway, about a few days after Serling returned to the future, I was watching my favorite soap opera when, suddenly, a breaking news alert had reported that there was a daring robbery at a high-tech midtown laboratory! Not only that, but the security cameras there had captured images of what I had believed to be my sons!" Master Splinter explained. "Nani?" Sakura asked. "Yeah, we were weirded out, too!" Leo said. "Eventually, after enhancing a part of the image on the computer screen, I had determined that the individuals that resembled us were actually fighting the Purple Dragons in an attempt to stop from robbing the laboratory!" Donnie explained. "Those guys again? Man they're annoying!" Lynn complained. "Tell us about it!" Raph complained.

"So, in order to get in the bottom of that mystery, us Turtles decided to break into Purple Dragon HQ!" Mikey explained. "You guys have broken into that place so many times, you might as well just move in there!" Luan joked. "HAHAHA! Okay, Now That's A Good One There, Luan!" Mikey exclaimed in laughter while everyone else laughed alongside him. "And so true!" He added. "Anyway..." Leo started saying. "As soon as we broke into Purple Dragon HQ, we had found our lookalikes, if you can call them that, already chained up to a wall! Plus, Hun and the Purple Dragons were there as well!" Raph explained. "Needless to say, they were just as, if not more confused than us!" Mikey said. "Apparently, while these four turtles share the exact same names as us, as well as have the same ninja mask colors and weapons as us, they were also different from us at the same time! For one thing, they were shorter and a little rounder than us! Another thing was that they wore belt buckles with their initials on them and they also behave somewhat more immaturely than us!" Donnie explained. "As hard as that last one maybe to believe." Raph joked, pointing to Mikey.

"Hey! I really thought that they were fun guys to hang around with!" Mikey said in complaint. "Turns out they were us from another dimension." Leo said. "Whoa! As hard it is to believe, I actually know what you mean!" Lincoln said, much to the Ninja Turtles' confusion. "What do mean by that, Lincoln?" Raph asked. "Apparently, sometime before Clyde became Kamen Rider Anansi, I had to follow a Chimera Animarius named Chimeroar into a portal to another dimension, only to find out that very dimension was, in fact, an alternate version of Royal Woods, complete with an alternate version of myself and my family, as well as Clyde, Ronnie Anne, and Lori's friend Carol, that were a group of superheroes in that dimension called Super Thunder!" Lincoln explained. "I still can't believe you actually followed him through that portal." Sakura grumbled. "Hey, I got results, didn't I?" Lincoln asked. "And I had to deal with 10 angry and upset girls." Sakura pointed out. "She's right, you know!" Lola stated while crossing her arms in anger. "Plus, I had the opportunity to record that very moment in the base's security camera and upload onto the computer, as you all will see here!" Lisa added as she then turned on the computer and played a video file, showing Lincoln and Sakura coming back from the alternate version of Royal Woods via a portal.

"We don't need to see that!" Lincoln said, chuckling. "Seriously, we're running low on time enough!" He said in a moment of fourth wall awareness. "Okay, anyway..." Leo started saying. "Since those other Ninja Turtles look like something out of a 1987 cartoon, we'll just call them the 80's Turtles for convenience's sake and to avoid any confusion with us!" Mikey stated. "Makes sense." Lisa said. "Right! As soon as we broke the 80's Turtles out of their chains, we helped them fight off and escape from the Purple Dragons, though not before accidentally spilling a little bit of mutagen, that the 80's Turtles had with them in small containers, on one Purple Dragon named Mohawk!" Donnie explained. "Am I to believe this 'Mutagen' is the same as the 'ooze' that was in that TCRI container?" Lisa asked.

"Yes and No! For one thing, the ooze from our universe, which was green in color, was actually a waste product create from the Utroms' Transmat and it causes whatever animals to get covered in it to rapidly increase in size, strength and intelligence! The mutagen from the 80's Turtles, on the other hand, was purple and, while we don't know how it's made, it causes whatever subject that was affected by it to take on the characteristics of whatever animal they had last been exposed to!" Donnie explained. "EWWWW!" Lola complained. "Yeah, we're glad to be stuck with our own version of it." Leo said. "Anyway, as soon as we escaped from the Purple Dragons, and rested on the rooftops, we decided ask the 80's Turtles about who they were and where they came from! They agreed, only to say that they would do so after lunch! Then, without warning, they jumped off of the rooftop and walked on the sidewalk towards the Famous Jay's Pizza, in broad daylight and unintentionally scaring people along the way!" Leo explained. "As it turns out, they aren't as 'stick to the shadows' as we are, and often walk in broad daylight wearing trench coats and fedoras." Donnie explained. "Well someone needs to tell them the Humphrey Bogart look hasn't been in style in years!" Leni said.

"Hah! Good One! Anyway, as the 80's Turtles walked towards the pizza place, we had no choice but to call in reinforcement! And by reinforcement, we mean Master Splinter! That's when we waited until the 80's Turtles left the pizza place from the back door, after they got scared off by the police sirens, and captured them in a net before dragging them all the way to the rooftops!" Mikey explained. Everyone facepalmed at this. "Of course, when the 80s Turtles saw Master Splinter, they had confused him for their own Master Splinter and even realized that our New York was different from theirs! Heck, they even mentioned an explosion involving their version of the Shredder! After asking them to start from the beginning, the 80's Turtles explained that were fighting inside that Shredder's ultimate weapon, called the Technodrome, and they were trying to prevent that Shredder from getting his hands on some vials of mutagen! They were looking for a way to end the fight, once and for all! Then, 80's Donnie had an idea, which was to use the Technodrome's very own Trans-Dimensional Portal in order to sent back to where it came from! Unfortunately, while 80's Donnie was working on it, some of the 80s Shredder's Foot soldiers shot at him and accidentally hit the console, causing the Trans-Dimensional Portal to go haywire and be engulfed in an interdimensional explosion of sorts! The thing they knew, the 80's Turtles woke up in our dimension and started fighting crime like they usually do, only with the Purple Dragons, of course!" Mikey explained.

"Even in another dimension, the Shredder is a problem?!" Lincoln asked in shock. "Yes, but based on what we heard, 80's Shredder isn't nearly as bad as any of the three Shredders we faced." Leo said. "Yeah, the real brains behind that operation is this weird looking brain thing named 'Krang' who pilots this mechanical body!" Mikey said. "From what we were told, Krang was the creator of the Technodrome and he originated from a place known as Dimension X!" Donnie explained. "Brain Aliens from Dimension X? Does that sound like the coolest Sci-Fi movie or what?!" Clyde asked. "Hmm! You know, perhaps you could be right about that!" Mikey noted. "Anyway, we offered to try and find a way to get them back to their own dimension." Leo said. "That's when Master Splinter decided that the only way to send the 80's Turtles back home would be to find the Technodrome! Fortunately, 80's Donnie suggested that we should be able to find it by tracking some weird seismic activity that had been happening at the same time as the arrival of the 80's Turtles! Once we all found an underground tunnel and followed its trail, we had managed to find the Technodrome itself, which looked like a giant golf ball with tank treads on the bottom, a huge mechanical eye on the top, and 5 trident-shaped laser cannons, with two located at the top of the Technodrome at each side of the eye, two on its sides, and one on its front!" Mikey explained. "Sounds like something a criminal mastermind would hide out in." Lincoln commented.

"Yeah, you would definitely think that! Anyway, as soon as we all found the Technodrome, its front panel door opened to reveal an army of Foot soldiers with blaster rifles in their hands and they were led by the 80's Shredder's two mutant henchmen, a humanoid warthog named Bebop and a humanoid rhinoceros named Rocksteady!" Mikey explained. "Dudes, they must be from the 80's! Those music styles haven't been in style since then!" Luna said. "She's got a point there, you guys! Not only is she the lead musician in her rock band, but she's also an expert when it comes to music genres!" Lincoln explained. "Yeah, well these guys were both ugly and stupid!" Mikey said. "As soon as Bebop and Rocksteady lead the Foot Soldiers down the ramp to attack us, the 80's Turtles immediately charged ahead with their weapons out, with Mikey following suit! They even shouted "Cowabunga!", which is a word that I really hate with a passion! Even more so, since it was like having five Mikeys at that point!" Raph explained in frustration. "Okay, they've got to be from the 80's." Lori said. "Just why do you hate "Cowabunga" so much anyway, Raph? I mean, there's nothing wrong with it! Especially, when it's a fun word to use when surfing, skateboarding, or pool-diving! Why do you not like that word in the first place?" Lincoln asked.

"I don't know, just something about it seems off to me." Raph said. "Though, I do admit that it does get rather irritating whenever Mikey says it!" He added while glaring at Mikey, who then shouted "Hey! Not Cool, Raph!" in complaint while pouting. "Anyway..." Leo started saying. "As soon as the rest of us joined in the fight, we all discovered that the Foot Soldiers were not actually human! Instead, they were actually robots!" Leo explained. "Exploding Robots, to be more accurate!" Mikey added. "That's good to know!" Lincoln said sarcastically. "What Mikey meant to say was that these robotic Foot Soldiers were so fragile that it doesn't take much effort to destroy them! Also, the explosions they produce when destroyed were not really powerful enough to harm us!" Donnie explained. "And I thought their version of Shredder sounded pathetic." Lynn said. "Anyway, while we were fighting the robotic Foot Soldiers, 80's Leo was able to subdue Rocksteady by jumping up from 80's Donnie's back and then pierce a part of the ceiling with his katanas, causing a ton of sand to bury him! As for Bebop, he got trapped by 80's Raph, after the latter had jumped up and chopped down a bunch of stalactites to surround Bebop and form a makeshift cage of sorts!" Mikey explained while laughing a little.

"Those two really are stupid!" Lynn commented. "And ugly! Don't forget ugly!" Mikey said. "Tell me about it! Anyway, as we kept on mowing through the robotic Foot Soldiers like grass, the remaining robots had suddenly stopped what they were doing and started twitching with glowing red eyes! That's when they all immediately begun to self-destruct and explode in groups! That also caused Bebop and Rocksteady to escape from their predicaments and run back to the Technodrome as soon as it's ramp door began to close! Right after Bebop and Rocksteady barely made it inside, the Technodrome used one of its laser cannons to drill through a cave wall in order to make a hasty retreat! Of course, when we all tried to follow it, the Technodrome used another laser cannon to blast the entrance of the tunnel it had just created and caused a ton of debris to seal the entrance shut, allowing it to get away while also preventing us from following it! That's when we had no other choice but to go back up to surface and take the Turtle Hauler in order to track the Technodrome's path with what 80's Donnie called Subterranean Sonar!" Raph explained. "This Technodrome thing sounds like quite the mechanical marvel." Lisa said. "Our 80's counterparts told us they have always had a hard time finding it at first!" Donnie said.

"Thankfully, with the subterranean sonar on our Turtle Hauler, we were able to easily follow its trail while on the streets! Unfortunately, as we were getting close to the Technodrome's location, our search got interrupted by Hun and the Purple Dragons after they used their armored car to overturn our vehicle!" Donnie explained. "You'd think Hun would be put off by anything involving the Foot after learning Ch'rell's true identity and intentions." Lynn said. "Actually, the real reason why Hun and the Purple Dragons stopped us was because they were actually after the mutagen that 80's Donnie was carrying in his belt! He even showed us that Mohawk got turned into a humanoid mutant dog with a bad attitude and unleashed him on us!" Mikey explained. Everyone but Lana and Aya cringed at that. "Eh, I've seen scarier." Aya said. "Anyway, after we all fought Hun and Mohawk, only to be nearly overpowered by them, Master Splinter was able to activate the missile launchers from the Turtle Hauler and fired missiles at Mohawk, causing the latter to be blasted into green slime while also temporarily knocking out Hun!" Raph explained.

"EWWWW!" Lola cringed. "Well, after that happened, we all immediately went down into the sewers in order to get back our lair! Unfortunately, Hun woke up and immediately tackled Raph and 80's Donnie down before he then tossed the former away while also pressing his foot on top of the latter! Hun then grabbed 80's Donnie's belt with the mutagen and boastfully declared that he had won!" Mikey explained. "As you can imagine, that feeling of joy didn't last long." Leo said. "Apparently, when Hun grabbed the mutagen vials, their contents had accidentally leaked onto his left hand, causing him to yell in horror! Then, Raph came back and kicked Hun down to the ground while 80's Donnie got his belt and vials back! Then, while we all immediately went back to the lair, Hun was tossing around on the wet floor of the sewers and shouted in terror!" Mikey explained. This made everyone chuckle. "Once we got back to the lair, I tried to track the Technodrome, only to discover that I got nothing but static! It was like the Technodrome had just disappeared!" Donnie explained.

"Easy to see why your 80's friends had such trouble finding it." Lisa surmised. "Of course, while we were trying to come up with a plan, Raph was so annoyed with our interdimensional counterparts, that he called them clowns! That caused them to get angry at Raph, who was willing to pick a fight with them! Fortunately, Master Splinter put a stop to that and scolded them while stating that they were all ninjas and all were welcome!" Leo explained. "Of course, while we were trying to come up with a plan, Raph was so annoyed with our interdimensional counterparts, that he called them clowns! That caused them to get angry at Raph, who was willing to pick a fight with them! Fortunately, Master Splinter put a stop to that and scolded them while stating that they were all ninjas and all were welcome!" Leo explained. "After Raph apologized to the 80's Turtles for calling them clowns, they explained that they had took on the 80's Shredder and the Technodrome plenty of times! Heck, they even had special Anti-Technodrome Gear for such an occasion! Unfortunately, that particular gear was left back in the 80's Turtles home dimension, so 80's Donnie suggested that we should build an Trans-Dimensional Portal Stick in order to get there, which was, as he called it, a gateway into other dimensions but small enough to fit into most overhead compartments!" Mikey explained.

"I don't suppose you have such a device now, do you?" Lisa asked eagerly. "Uh, no. I sort of dropped it before we got sucked into the portal that brought us here." Mikey admitted. "If fact, I think it kind of got sucked inside the vortex along with Donnie's Hovershell blueprints and some other stuff!" He added in guilt. That caused the rest of the Ninja Turtles to groan and facepalm in frustration. "Smooth Move, Shell-For-Brains! You went and lost the only thing that can get us back home!" Raph said in frustration. "I seem to remember some ability I had in my previous life allowing me to open portals to other dimensions that just may have been carried on through here, but it's a little hazy." Shintomaru said. "Wait, What? Previous life? What the shell are ya talking about?!" Raph asked in confusion. "Oh! Right! I guess I should have mentioned this earlier, but like Amata-Sempai and Mikono-Sempai, I am also a reincarnated person! Though, the difference is that the person I had reincarnated from wasn't from their universe or this one! In fact, he was dimension-traveling Kamen Rider named Tsukasa Kadoya, also known as Kamen Rider Decade!" Shintomaru answered, much to the shock and surprise of the Ninja Turtles, Master Splinter, and those who weren't around when Shintomaru first revealed that information.

"Yeah, I find it confusing too." Lisa said. "So, you are saying that, you're reincarnated from an interdimensional being that was also a Kamen Rider?" Donnie asked. "That's right, Donatello-san! Though, unfortunately, my Decadriver, that's my transformation belt by the way, didn't come with me when I was reincarnated! If anything, my Decadriver would be somewhere within an another dimension! And before you ask, there are actually more Kamen Riders out there in other universes, with one universe in particular having more Kamen Riders than any other! That very universe also had another type of superhero known as Super Sentai!" Shintomaru answered. "That's the kind of group our friends in Great Lakes City are." Sakura said. "Our friends' hero group name is known as Alebrije Sentai Lucharanger and their mentor is this heroic spirit named AkaRed, who is the embodiment of every Super Sentai warrior that bears the color of red!" Lincoln explained. "Cool!" Mikey said in admiration. "Anyway..." Leo started saying.

"When my 80's counterpart told us that we need to build a Trans-Dimensional Portal Stick, Leo asked me if it can be done! Of course, I was rather sceptical, since I find the idea of a portal device on a stick to be, well, silly! Fortunately, my 80's counterpart was able to show me how it's done!" Donnie explained. "Of course, we had to use a flashlight as base material for that device! After some hard work on it, we tried to activate it, only for it to short-circuit and smoke a little before shutting itself off! I was, admittedly, a little frustrated when that happened, since the Portal Stick looks more like a high-tech flashlight than a working portal device! Though, I guess that the only bright side was that it didn't explode in our faces!" He added. "Something Lisa has a lot of experience with." Lori said. "Cheap shot, eldest sibling unit!" Lisa countered. "Did you just say that the Portal Stick looks like a high-tech flashlight?!" Rusty asked in surprise. "Yes, I did!" Donnie answered. "Why do you ask?" He asked back. "Well, when Polly Pain and I were having a date at the bowling alley some time after school, some strange purple portal opened above me and dropped something that landed on my head before it then landed on my hand! When I took a close at it, it was a dark-green high-tech flashlight of sorts!" Rusty answered, causing the Ninja Turtles eyes to open wide in surprise. "You mean you found the Portal Stick?! WHOO-HOO!" Mikey exclaimed in excitement. "Unfortunately, when I picked it up, Polly Pain bumped right into me and made me accidently drop it onto the floor, causing it to break from the impact! So, I had decided to carry it and whatever pieces have fallen off of it inside of my backpack in hopes that can be fixed by Lisa, since she's a genius!" Rusty explained as he then took off his backpack and opened it before he pulled out the Portal Stick, which was now broken in more ways than one, much to the chagrin of the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter. "D'OH!" Mikey shouted in disappointment.

"I blame you for this." Raph said, smacking Mikey upside the head as Rusty handed the device to Lisa. "Well, is it fixable?" Rusty asked. "Hmmm! It might take some trial and error, but I should be able to repair it, with some help from Donatello, since he knows how it's made! Of course, I would have to build another portal machine that would be linked to the Portal Stick in order for the dimensional rift to become much more stable, which would allow passage between our universes to be easier to accomplish without sucking everything in like a vacuum!" Lisa answered while looking at the broken Portal Stick before she then turned her attention towards Donnie. "I can definitely help with that!" Donnie said. "While that's happening..." Leo started saying. "Something had caused the lair to shake! Then, the wall where the television was held had burst open to reveal Hun, who had, as a result of the mutagen, become a huge, muscular, mutant turtle with rasor-sharp teeth, spikes on his shoulders and elbows, and he still had hair on his head! Not only that, but he didn't come alone! Bebop and Rocksteady were with him as well, along with an army of newly upgraded robotic Foot Soldiers! When 80's Donnie was wondering how they found us, Hun answered that Bebop and Rocksteady were following their nose! In that case, it was a vacuum cleaner-like device that had a human-like nose at the end of its tube!" Mikey explained.

"Okay, things just turned from freaky to downright disgusting!" Lola complained. "Then, as soon as the rest of us joined in to find out what the commotion was, Hun, Bebop, and Rocksteady lead the new robotic Foot Soldiers into our lair, causing the place to get trashed! Not only that, the new Foot Soldiers were much stronger than ones we fought previously! Then, when we asked Hun why he came to our lair, he answered that we didn't even know that he was back! And by 'he', Hun actually meant the 'One, True Shredder'!" Raph explained. "You don't mean?" Lincoln asked. "I'm afraid so. It seems 80's Shredder was able to find Ch'rell!" Leo answered. "But how?! The last time you guys saw Ch'rell, he was banished to an ice asteroid! How did the 80's Shredder even manage to free him?!" Aurachnid asked in shock and confusion. "That's what we were wondering!" Mikey said. "Anyway, after Hun told us that revelation, he charged forth and broke a support beam, causing the lair to start collapsing around us! Not only that, but Master Splinter got stunned by a blast from one of the robotic Foot Soldiers' laser rifles! Then, just as we were about to be crushed under a pile of rubble, 80's Donnie was able to get the Portal Stick working and then, in a bright flash of white light, we were all instantly teleported to the home dimension of the 80's Turtles! Unfortunately, Master Splinter was captured by Hun before we had escaped into that dimension!" Raph explained.

Everyone gulped. "Everything in the 80's turtles dimension was different! For one thing, the April in that world was a news reporter!" Mikey said. "Another thing was there were strange looking mutants that came after her! There were mutant bowling balls, mutant pizza slices, and mutant bananas! Fortunately, the 80's Turtles quickly drove them away!" Donnie explained. "Okay, this version of the Shredder is just plain ridiculous!" Lynn said. "Tell me about it! When we told the 80's Turtles about the Utrom Shredder, they simply just laughed so much, that even I had lost my patience with them!" Mikey explained, much to everyone's surprise. "They laughed at you?! That's rich!" Luan said, laughing. "Of course, after Mikey told them that our situation was serious, they stopped laughing and decided that we must go with them to their lair in order to pick up their Anti-Technodrome Gear and put it to good use! Then, after saving their April from those weird mutants that we had mentioned earlier, the 80's Turtles took us to their secret entrance, which was an elevator disguised as a phone booth! Needless to say, it was rather cramped when we got in there!" Raph explained.

"I'd bet it was a comedic sight!" Luan said. "Yeah, it was definitely a tight squeeze in there! As soon as we reached their lair and stumbled out of the elevator, we were met by the 80's Turtles's Master Splinter, who had brown fur instead grey like ours and he wore a red robe with a black belt! Thankfully, he was generous enough to let us stay long enough to come up with a plan! Later, while Donnie and his 80's counterpart were in lab area looking for the gadgets we needed and Mikey was with rest of the 80's Turtles, 80's Master Splinter gave Leo and I some bowls of rice in order to replenish our bodies and souls!" Raph explained. "At least somethings don't change." Aya said, looking at Splinter's aura. "Yeah, but things were even more different for Splinter there! Turns out in that world, Splinter was a mutated version of Hamato Yoshi himself, rather than his pet!" Mikey said, confusing everyone. "Yeah! I know! We were confused as well! Anyway, seeing that that the 80's Splinter reminded of us of our Master Splinter, it made us really miss him, since we were separated from him when Hun invaded our lair!" Leo explained. "Speaking of you, Splinter-san, what happened when you where captured by Hun?" Sakura asked. "Apparently, I was brought into the Technodrome, which had been fully upgraded, courtesy of Ch'rell himself! Not only that, but, for some reason, Karai was with him as well!" Splinter answered, much to everyone's shock and confusion. "That's got to be a terrifying experience!" Sakura said. "Not for me, just shocking." Splinter said.
