Summary: The Lotus Ninjas do their best to evade capture when they come to the rescue of the humans, who are being held captive at Central Park.
In the vastness of space, a tall and curvaceous woman gazed at the screen that showed the Milky Way Galaxy. Her skin resembled a flexible organic diamond. She has long, wavy white hair and striking blue eyes. She wore a sleek, embroidered white dress layered over a dark gray underdress that is accessorized with a silver belt and silver rings.
"The Triceratons have caused us endless problems with their attempts to invade our home planet." The Cristallum leader spoke. "But everything changed when the mighty Federation came to our rescue and put an end to the Triceraton invasion. I accepted their alliance for the sake of the Cristallum Empire's future."
The Cristallum leader spun around and walked towards her loyal lieutenant, who was seated at the table.
"According to the Federation, the Triceratons are hunting down the Fugitoid to seize control of him and his teleportal." The Cristallum Empire leader continued. "If they succeed, they could annihilate our empire and the Federation, and rule the universe with an iron fist."
The screen zoomed to an image of planet Earth.
"Our tracking system has pinpointed the Triceratons' course toward a watery green-blue planet in the T17 galaxy, known as Earth." The Cristallum leader explained. "We must act swiftly to thwart their plans. We cannot let another world fall victim to their tyranny, no matter what."
In the Crete Fortress, Donna and Ellie lounged on the couch in the living room. Donna raised her right arm and showed a purple shamballa beaded bracelet on her wrist in front of Ellie.
"Wow. Cute bracelet, D." Ellie commented.
"Thanks. But it's more than just a bracelet." Donna replied. "Two nights ago, I discovered how to reconfigure accessories with magic and make this masterpiece."
Donna pulled out one purple shamballa bead from her bracelet and tossed it into the air, which turned into a long hard wood bo staff with a dark purple band that landed in her hand.
"Oh snap!" Ellie smiled in awe. "You're definitely taking ninjutsu to a whole new level, girl."
The bo staff then dematerialized into purple clovers and vanished from Donna's hand.
"You know it." Donna said. "I only made this one for now. But I plan to create three more soon."
Just then, the entire fortress plunged into darkness.
"What the heck?!" Ellie shouted in annoyance. "Not another blackout!"
"Relax, Ellie. I'll get the backup generator up and running." Donna reassured.
Back in space, the Triceraton spaceship finally arrived on Earth. Its docking arms released motherships that scattered across the planet. Once the motherships were in position, they emitted a powerful electrical energy beam that connected to the other beams and formed a pyramid-shaped force shield that enveloped the entire planet.
"The shield is in place, Prime Leader, and impenetrable to anything but our spacecraft. The Fugitoid cannot escape." Commander Mozar reported.
"Begin the invasion!" Zanramon commanded.
"To victory!" Commander Mozar shouted as he raised his fist to his chest.
The Triceraton airships launched from the main spaceship and headed towards Earth.
Back on Earth, a military soldier spotted Triceraton airships on the screens of a massive monitoring system filled with computers and sensors
"Um, sir? We have a problem." A military soldier reported as the military officer approached from behind. "Uh, we have multiple bogies. Spacecraft, sir. We're under attack from, uh... outer space?"
"Aliens? You've gotta be kidding me." A military officer exclaimed in shock. He grabbed a red telephone and lifted it to his ear. "Full alert! We're going to Defcon 4!"
"Go, go, go, go!" The military soldiers shouted.
Several military jets took off and launched into the sky towards the Triceraton airships. The military jets targeted the Triceraton airships with homing missiles, but the Triceraton airships protected themselves with force shields. The Triceraton airships then retaliated with pink lasers that easily took down military jets right out of the sky. Fortunately, the military pilots managed to eject with parachutes.
Then, the Triceraton Motherships unleashed a barrage of pink lasers that obliterated the military bases, air stations, and battleship fleets throughout the world.
Back at the military base, the military officer was engaged in a serious conversation on the red phone with the President.
"Yes, Mr. President. We have taken heavy losses." The military officer reported. "But we have combat-ready troops, and our boys at Langton are gonna send up everything we…"
"Sir? Langton. It's been destroyed." The military soldier interrupted.
The military officer gazed on the largest monitor screen displaying the Triceraton assault across the globe.
"Europe. Far East. Africa. Nearly every military base worldwide!" The military soldier added.
Back in the Triceraton Mothership, Mozar observed the Earth's military force on the monitor screen.
"Prime Leader, the resistance these worms offered was fierce but ineffective." Mozar reported as he turned around to face Zanramon.
"Fine. And where is the Fugitoid, Commander Mozar?" Zanramon inquired.
"We haven't found him yet, sir, but we will." Mozar replied. "The hunt has begun."
Several civilians screamed as they ran through the streets of New York City. Above them, Triceraton soldiers soared in their flying harnesses and scanned the screaming crowd.
"That one. Setting to stun." One Triceraton soldier said as he pointed his finger at one of the nearby humans.
Another Triceraton soldier fired a stun laser, striking an adult man in the back and causing him to collapse to the ground. One of the Triceraton soldiers quickly scooped the incapacitated man and continued the mission.
Numerous hovercrafts zipped above the buildings while carrying a group of seven Triceratons. Several Triceraton shuttles also hovered in the sky. The streets were filled with terrified people fleeing for safety just as a Triceraton shuttle landed and unleashed a battalion of Triceraton soldiers marching into the streets.
In her apartment, Irma was twirling her large light purple parasol adorned with a light blue lotus flower design inside the living room. She then paused for a moment when she turned her head to the television as the news caught her attention.
"This is the Emergency Broadcast System. We interrupt this program to bring you critical information." A female reporter announced. "Today the unthinkable happened. Earth no longer need question if there is life on other planets."
Aaliyah gasped with wide, shocking eyes as she watched the Triceraton invasion unfold outside her window inside her apartment while listening to the news on TV.
"It is here, and we are in the full grip of an alien invasion." The female reporter continued. "Is there any way for us to defend against this assault from the stars? Or is this truly the end of the human race?"
Several pink lasers blasted and interrupted the news broadcast on the large monitor screen in Times Square.
Back in the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas, Saldana, and Ekron gathered and watched the news on the television once Donna's backup generator restored the power. The TV screen showed the full scale of the Triceraton invasion.
"This was the scene moments ago in Time Square." The male reporter stated. "Reports are coming in from all over the world."
The TV screen then showed images of Triceraton ships looming over pyramids, the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, and mountains.
"We are being invaded by some extraterrestrial force!" The male reporter exclaimed in alarm.
The Lotus Ninjas gasped in shock.
"My daughters, you must stay here until…" Saldana spoke.
Saldana glanced around and noticed that her daughters were nowhere to be seen.
"Figures." Saldana muttered with a sigh.
On the building rooftop, the Lotus Ninjas and Ekron stared in disbelief as the invading Triceraton ships flew overhead.
"I can't believe this is really happening!" Lee exclaimed in astonishment. "Aliens are literally invading Earth!"
"We gotta do something!" Ella urged.
"And what can we possibly do against an invasion like this?" Donna questioned. "Besides, we don't even know why they're invading Earth in the first place."
"It's simple, really. For those aliens to travel halfway across the universe, it is possible that they are trying to invade Earth to conquer us or to find someone for their conquering plans." Ellie explained.
Donna, Lee, and Ella looked at Ellie with shocked faces.
"Yup, that's right. You heard me." Ellie said with a smirk.
Ekron gazed up at the Triceraton ships with a narrow iris. His iris quickly widened in fear when he caught the sight of the red and black insignia on them. He wrapped his yellow energized tentacles around Ellie's torso and trembled in fear.
"There, there, Ekron." Ellie reassured soothingly as she gently patted Ekron. "It's okay."
"What's wrong with him?" Ella asked.
"Beats me." Ellie shrugged. "He might be scared of those invading aliens, but I'll protect him no matter what."
Ekron nuzzled against Ellie affectionately.
The Lotus Ninjas and Ekron peered over the edge and spotted a Triceraton soldier riding on a hovercraft with human prisoners from the street below.
"Are they rounding up civilians?" Lee questioned.
"But where are they taking them?" Ella wondered.
Donna pressed her hands on the rooftop ground and closed her eyes. She focused on the seismic vibrations around her, which led her to sense Triceraton soldiers herding a crowd of captured humans through Central Park.
Then, Donna opened her eyes.
"I found them." Donna announced. She looked up at her sisters. "Those aliens are only capturing specific civilians in Central Park. Not only that, Casey and April are captured along with them."
"That can't be good." Ellie said.
"Let's move." Lee said.
Elsewhere, Irma and Aaliyah stood together in a narrow alley.
"This is crazy, Irma." Aaliyah exclaimed. "A real life alien invasion. You know what? Forget crazy. This is insane."
"You're not wrong there." Irma agreed. "Right now, we need to get to the fortress where it's safe and away from all of this. We'll figure out a plan once we get there."
Irma jumped onto her large closed parasol, which surprisingly floated into the air.
"Whoa. When did you have time to make that?" Aaliyah asked with an astonished face.
"Donna has her inventions and I have mine." Irma explained. "With a little help from her mystical treasures, of course. Hop on."
As Aaliyah hopped onto the hovering parasol, the girls took off from the alleyway and into the chaotic streets. Not long before three Triceraton soldiers suddenly pursued and fired pink lasers at the girls.
"Oh snap!" Irma shouted as she looked at the Triceraton soldiers over her shoulder. "They're onto us!"
"Go fast, Irma!" Aaliyah shouted back. "You fly, I'll blast 'em!"
Irma nodded and accelerated while zigzagging to avoid the laser blasts.
Aaliyah drew her tanto sword, which began to emit a bright white light. She aimed it and unleashed a white energy blast that sent one Triceraton soldier tumbling off the hovercraft.
"Hang on, Aaliyah!" Irma yelled. "I haven't tested this yet, but I hope it works!"
As Irma flew over the buildings, she pressed a red button on her parasol and released a light purple energy beam from the tip that knocked the other two Triceraton soldiers off the hovercraft and sent them crashing to the ground.
"Whoo-hoo!" Aaliyah cheered.
"Yes!" Irma beamed.
With that, Irma and Aaliyah soared away into the sky.
At the United Nations building, representatives from around the world started speaking simultaneously in the spacious meeting chamber.
"Quiet, please. Quiet! We must try to reason with these extraterrestrials." One representative spoke.
"We must ask them what they want. Perhaps they mistook us for aggressors after we launched our jets." Another representative chimed in.
Everyone began arguing about dealing with the Triceratons with peace or aggression.
Then suddenly, a massive screen switched on and displayed a video of Zanramon.
"Inhabitants of this planet, you are now under my control and my command. I am Zanramon, Prime Leader of the great and glorious Triceraton Republic." Zanramon introduced.
Zanramon's transmission began broadcasting on every screen throughout the city.
"Hear our demands. You will immediately surrender to us Professor Honeycutt, a Fugitoid, or face annihilation." Zanramon explained. "If you give us the Fugitoid, we may spare your pathetic lives. Deny us, and you will be destroyed! You have ten trigons to comply."
The Lotus Ninjas watched the transmission on a large monitor screen.
"Well, Ellie, you were right. They are looking for someone." Lee said.
"But who's the Fugitoid?" Ellie inquired.
"Why do I get the feeling that the Turtles might know what's going on?" Ella noted as she puts her hands on her hips.
"No doubt they know something that we don't." Donna said. She then shrugged her shoulders. "It makes sense, really."
"We'll find out once we reach Central Park." Lee said.
In Central Park, the Triceraton soldiers kept herding the captured humans into a designated area. April, Casey, and the other captives looked up to see three Triceration soldiers focusing their light on them as they descended on the hovercrafts. The Triceration soldiers then activated a force shield and trapped the captured humans attempted to punch the force shield, but he got thrown back by an electric shock.
On a nearby rooftop, two mysterious men wearing black sunglasses observed the force shield.
"Outpost 348, reporting in. No sign of the mystics, ma'am." One of the mysterious men reported. He listened intently to a woman's words on his earpiece. "I agree, ma'am. If the earthlings are in the Triceraton's grasp, their chances of survival are slim."
The Lotus Ninjas and Ekron finally reached Central Park. They concealed in the shadows of the trees to avoid the patrolling Triceraton soldiers.
"I don't need my seismic sense to know Casey and April are in there." Donna remarked.
"Now, let's kick some butt." Ella said.
"Not so fast, Ella." Lee cautioned. "We're way outnumbered. We need a distraction if we're going to pull this off."
"And speaking of distractions, if we can create realistic illusions of all those people being set free, it'll definitely confuse the aliens all at once." Ellie suggested as she placed her hands on her hips.
Ella, Donna, and Lee looked at Ellie in surprise.
"That's actually…a pretty good idea." Ella admitted. "Seriously, sis. You're kind of freaking me out."
"But what about the cage?" Lee asked.
"Those three hovering platforms are keeping the cage secure." Donna explained as she pointed her finger at the hovering hovercrafts "If we take one down, the cage should fall too."
"Ella, you, Ekron, and Ellie create a distraction to keep the aliens busy. That way, Donna and I can take out one of those platforms and free the humans." Lee instructed. "Let's move!"
With that, the Lotus Ninjas and Ekron sprang into action.
Zanramon was starting to lose his patience over the lack of progress in locating the Fugitoid.
"Commander Mozar, I grow impatient." Zanramon spoke. "Every moment we delay in getting our hands on the Fugitoid is a moment that could cost us dearly. We need the Fugitoid."
"I understand, Prime Leader, but the earthlings continue to deny any knowledge of the Fugitoid whatsoever." Mozar replied as he bowed respectfully.
"They are lying! We traced the Fugitoid to this planet. He has to be here." Zanramon insisted as he strided past Mozar.
"Our contingency plan is already in motion. Our warriors have been rounding up any and all of the Earth creatures bearing a transionic residue." Mozar explained. "This means these earthlings were in close proximity to the Fugitoid when he teleported to this planet. One of them is certain to have knowledge of him. They will share this knowledge with us willingly or we will scan their brains and take what we need. Either way, the Fugitoid will be ours soon enough."
"Yes, excellent. Have the captives brought up at once." Zanramon ordered.
Back in Central Park, a Triceraton spacecraft descended and phased halfway through the force shield as it landed near the captured humans. The hatch door opened and a group of Triceraton soldiers emerged with their weapons.
"All right, we've got our orders. Let's get to work." A Triceraton soldier announced.
The Triceraton soldiers quickly surrounded the captives as they forced them toward the spacecraft.
Ella, Ellie, and Ekron stealthily maneuvered around the Triceration camp. As they hid behind two trees, Ella and Ellie exchanged nods and began to channel red and orange magical energies from their fingertips, materializing solid illusions of humans roaming around the field.
"Look, the humans!" One of the Triceration soldiers shouted. "After them!"
The Triceratons soldiers grabbed their weapons and chased after the illusions, which immediately drew the attention of other soldiers that rushed to the scene.
Lee and Donna observed from the scene behind a large boulder.
"Ellie's plan worked…again." Donna remarked. "Now, let's go break that cage wide open."
"Hold on." Lee replied as she began sensing familiar auras within the area. "I'm picking up two auras. It's…Leo and Donnie!"
"Say what?" Donna whispered in surprise.
Lee and Donna peeked over the boulder as they saw Leo and Donnie sprinting towards the force shield. Donnie vaulted into the hovercraft with his bō staff as Leo leaped up behind him. When the Triceraton soldier turned to face them, Donnie swung his bō staff and knocked him off the hovercraft. Leo then leaped up and sliced another hovercraft with his katana swords before jumping off. The force shield deactivated and the hovercraft crashed to the ground.
"That'll do." Lee and Donna said to each other.
Lee and Donna jumped over the boulder and rushed forward.
"The cage is down! Guard the prisoners!" A Triceraton soldier shouted.
Many of the captured humans immediately scattered for their lives in every direction, knocking over Triceraton soldiers in their frantic escape. But some Triceraton soldiers were still trying to shove April onto the spacecraft.
Donnie leaped into action and hurled his bō at the back of one Triceraton soldier's head, knocking him down to the ground. He landed on the loading ramp and caught his bō staff before knocking two other Triceraton soldiers off the ramp. He then sheathed his bō staff and picked up two blasters from the ramp.
"Back off, you bunch of cretaceous leftovers! Keep your hands where I can see them!" Donnie shouted as he aimed the blasters.
Donna watched in awe as Donnie fought bravely while she kept running towards the spacecraft he was on.
"Oh, wow." Donna muttered with a blushing smile.
April encouraged the captives to flee the spacecraft and escape from Central Park.
Suddenly, a laser blast struck Donnie in the back, causing him to collapse on the ramp. One of the Triceraton soldiers walked out of the spacecraft with his weapon in his hand.
"Donnie!" Donna yelled with wide, shocking eyes.
"This is one of the Terrapin creatures that was with the Fugitoid. Quick, take him and let's go." A Triceraton soldier ordered.
The Triceraton soldiers dragged an unconscious Donnie aboard the spacecraft.
Donna rushed forward as her fists emanated with magical energy. But before she could strike an attack, one of the Triceraton soldiers aimed his weapon and shot a laser blast in her stomach and knocked her down to the ground.
From afar, Ekron immediately noticed an unconscious Donna being carried by a Triceraton soldier to the spacecraft. He zoomed with incredible speed and fired yellow energy blasts at the Triceration soldiers. But two Triceration soldiers retaliated, hitting him and sending him to the ground.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing." One Triceration soldier gasped with wide, surprising eyes. "Why would an Oculo be here on this planet?"
"It doesn't matter. It's coming with us." The other Triceraton soldier said. "Zanramon's gonna love this."
One Triceraton soldier grabbed Ekron off the ground and followed the other Triceraton soldier that was carrying an unconscious Donna into the spacecraft before sealing the loading ramp behind them.
April rushed to the spacecraft and began pounding on it with her fists, but it was too late to save her friends as the spacecraft took off.
"No! Donnie! Donna!" April screamed in anguish.
