Last episode and then, season four is here!

Enjoy!

"Death. It sneaks up on you when you're never expecting it. You can spend everyday with the ones you care about, never realizing that the day where you might lose someone that you love is right there next to you."

"WHOA, THAT TRIERATON sounds so cool," Casey said as he was in the ShellRaiser with the turtles, Henry, Briana, Kaz, Mara, Zane, and April. "I wish I could have fought a real, live Dino-dude."

Mara snorted. "Yeah, right. You would've gotten stomped and turned into a Casey puddle in about five seconds flat."

"Whatever, Mara. Casey Jones eat dinosaur meat for breakfast."

April shook her head. "I'm just amazed that there are more aliens out there in the universe other than the kraang."

"I hate to break up the conversation, guys, but someone's been following us for the last five blocks or so." Donatello called.

April blinked. "Weird. I don't sense anyone at all."

"See for yourself."

They glanced at the computer screen. "It's a kraang." Zane stated.

"Stay on him, Leo!" Donatello called.

The car pulled in front of the ShellRaiser and Leonardo floored the vehicle to follow it. He pulled into a dead-end alley and killed the engine, jumping out with the others but there was no signs of the other car.

"He's gone."

"He left a message though," Kaz said, motioning to the message written on the wall. "Turtles. 3117 Bayfront Street. Midnight."

"What's that supposed to be— his logo?" Michelangelo asked, pointing to the mark beneath the message.

"It's a chess piece," Henry said. "A bishop."

👑👑👑

THE MOMENT THAT midnight came around, they found themselves at the given location. "For the record, I still think this is a terrible idea, Leo, Danger," Raphael said. "It's got to be a trap."

"Noted," Leonardo said. "Something's up, and we're gonna find out what."

"Dudes, this is the same meat warehouse where we fought TigerClaw, Cameron, Tyson, and Noelle in," Michelangelo said, hanging off the building. "Come on, I know a back entrance." He jumped down and ran for the warehouse, the others following him.

They made their way into the warehouse and hid among the rafters the meat hooks hung from. Leonardo gave a signal to keep quiet as a kraang droid in a human disguise and sunglasses entered the room, only for Casey to run across the rafters.

"Casey, stop!"

"Goongala!" Casey jumped down and the droid stepped out of the way, the hockey stick slamming into the floor.

The droid shoved one of the frozen meat slices into Casey, grabbed his hockey stick, and pulled him to hit the meat again. Casey released his weapon and stumbled back, falling to the floor. The others drew their weapons and jumped down.

"Do not do this," the droid started.

Leonardo and Zane helped Casey sit up while Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, Boy Danger, and Eclipse all charged at the droid at once. The droid knocked Raphael, Eclipse, Boy Danger, and Donatello into the frozen meat and hit Michelangelo with the hockey stick, knocking him down. Captain Violet threw a shuriken at the droid, but the droid dodged and grabbed her wrist before she could swing her katana blade at him, throwing her into Eclipse and knocking them both down.

"I am not here to fight you." The droid said.

"A little late for that," Leonardo growled as he charged at the droid, who jumped into the other room. He dodged his attacks and grabbed his blades as he thrust it at him, stopping his attack. "That's impossible."

The droid kicked him back and he slammed into the floor as the others ran into the room. "Turtles, Boy Danger, Captain Violet, refrain from attacking," the droid approached Leonardo as he sat up. "Believe me when I say I am not your enemy." He flipped the sword in his hand as he held the blade, offering Leonardo the hilt. He stared for a moment before getting to his feet and taking his sword, sheathing it. "You can call me by my Earth name— Bishop."

"But you look just like a kraang." Mara said.

"I was the one who created this body," Bishop explained. "The other kraang copied me." He unbuttoned his suit and pulled it back so they could see the pink alien controlling the robot body. "I am a member of the Utrom tribe— a small group of Kraang defectors. We broke away from the Kraang hive mind many centuries ago."

"Fascinating," Donatello said. "It makes sense the Kraang share a hive mind— a really stupid hive mind."

Bishop buttoned up his suit. "I have broken my Utrom vow not to intervene in Earthly matters, but I must warn you, the Triceratons are coming."

"I thought you guys said that you stopped the beacon." Zane said.

"We did," Donatello said. "But Danger's heightened senses and his wolf thinks they're coming still."

"Indeed they are." Bishop placed his hands behind his back, turning away from them. "They are coming, and they are carrying enough firepower to destroy the entire solar system."

Michelangelo gulped. "Could you repeat that last part?"

"The news gets worse. The kraang have finally fixed the Technodrome and are about to invade once more."

"You have any more terrible news, Bishop, or is that it?"

Bishop grabbed a knife that had been embedded in some meat hanging from the ceiling. "If the Triceratons arrive when the Technodrome rises, they will hone in on this planet and vaporize it." He sliced the meat into pieces.

"Sorry I asked." Raphael said.

"Bishop, why do the Triceratons hate the kraang?" April asked.

"For millennia, the two species have fought over Dimension X," Bishop began. "The kraang used their intelligence to battle their foe, while the Triceratons relied on brute strength and cunning. It seemed that the Triceratons would win, but the kraang used the most powerful weapon in the universe— a black-hole generator that wiped out the Triceraton's entire planet. Only a single Triceraton fleet survived. They vowed vengeance. The battle may have ended, but the war has not. It still rages across Dimension X." He took off his sunglasses. "Now, shall we begin?"

👑👑👑

"WE'RE BACK, EVERYONE, and we brought a new pal!" Michelangelo called out as they entered the lair, Bishop in tow.

"Kr— Kra— Kraang!" LeatherHead ran at the droid. The teens screamed and bolted out of the way.

Bishop moved out of the way, dodging LeatherHead's snapping jaws. "I do not want to fight you, creature." He dodged more of the alligator's attacks before grabbing his arm and throwing him down onto the floor. The mutant alligator got to his feet and charged at the droid, but Michelangelo and Briana blocked him.

"LeatherHead, calm down, dude!" Michelangelo yelled, the other mutant turtles and Henry holding the mutant alligator back.

"It's okay, this is Bishop," Briana said. "He's a good kraang— a ultrom. He's not like the others."

LeatherHead growled, though he relaxed and the others released him. "I do not trust him."

"Well, you gotta trust him for now, buddy," Briana said. "He's cool, he's gonna help us stop the kraang."

Then, they soon moved to the lab where Leonardo and Henry were going over the plan. "Alright, here's the plan— Raph, Donnie, Mikey, and LeatherHead, you take the sub. Infiltrate and stop the Technodrome before it launches," Leonardo added.

"And if it does launch, the rest of us will take it out in the Turtle Blimp." Henry finished.

"The Technodrome?" Splinter questioned. "Leonardo, Henry, what is going on here?"

"You just have to trust us when I say the whole world is at stake, and only we can save it." Leonardo said.

"Go then. I will help Slash and Rockwell. If you need me, I will stay close to the cheese phone."

They split off into their respective teams and soon, standing on the platform of the Turtle Blimp, everyone is watching the sun go under the water. However, barely ten minutes had passed before Boy Danger's ears pricked at rumbling beneath the water and then, the Technodrome broke the surface of the water and rose up before the blimp.

April gasped. "Oh, no."

"That is so awesome..." Casey said before adding. "And terrifying!"

Leonardo pulled out his phone to contact the other team. "Raph, you guys have two minutes to blow that thing before we do."

"Relax, Leo, we're heading to the core now."

👑👑👑

THE TURTLE BLIMP collided with the Technodrome and the bombs attached, exploding upon impact.

"I told you it wouldn't be big enough to bring down the ship," Casey said, gliding toward the ship with the others on the turtle gliders. "Casey Jones knows explosives."

"It wasn't the point, Casey," Boy Danger responded. "We just needed a way in."

They dove for the hole, entering the Technodrome and dodging the lasers. They landed on the ground and took down the droids within minutes.

"Where to, Bishop?" Eclipse asked.

"This way." Bishop ran ahead and the others followed.

👑👑👑

THEY KEPT THEMSELVES out of sight as they watched the droids led Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo to the main console room, dropping LeatherHead on the catwalk.

"Well, if it isn't the turtles and that stupid alligator that shouts "Kraang" all the time," Subprime said, flying over to the group.

"Welcome, Earth creatures," Prime started. "You are about to enjoy that which is known as the invasion of Earth." Prime and Subprime started to laugh, stopping when an alarm went off.

"What now?" Subprime snapped. He went over to the console and started typing. "Seriously?" He brought up an image of a spaceship.

"The— the Triceratons?" Prime asked.

"Not the Triceratons! Not here! Not now!"

A message started broadcasting on the screen. "Greetings, sub-life-forms of Earth. I am Captain Mozar of the Triceraton Empire. Let it be known, your planet is infested with kraang— an insidious alien bent on mutating Earth into their own home world. We Triceratons will eliminate these hideous aliens, freeing you of their vile plans. Unfortunately, your Earth will be annihilated as well. That is all. And please, have a nice day."

"Holy chalupa!" Donatello exclaimed. "It's actually happening. Double invasion."

"Goongala!" Casey jumped down from overhead with the others, taking down the droids holding the other team captive.

LeatherHead launched himself at Prime and Bishop landed on Subprime, pinning him down.

"Get off my robo-back!" Subprime snapped. "Bishop? You filthy, swindling kraang!"

"I am an Ultrom, just as you once were, brother," Bishop said. "Or shall I call you, Sub-Subprime?"

"Don't call me that!" Subprime snapped. "You know I hate that!"

"Hurry, my friends, get to the hanger." Bishop called.

"Move it, guys!" Leonardo ordered and they bolted from the room. "It's too late to blow this thing. Split up and grab a ship."

Leonardo jumped into a stealth ship with Boy Danger, Raphael, and Eclipse. Donatello took one with Kaz, LeatherHead, April and Mara, leaving Casey, Michelangelo, Zane, and Captain Violet to take the next one.

"I want to drive!"

"Mm-mm-mm," Michelangelo said, beating Casey to the controls first.

The three ships shot off, flying for the Triceraton ship, which shot out several smaller ships.

Michelangelo cheered as he flew the ship through the air to evade the Triceraton ships chasing it, laughing. "Yeah, dog! And sensei says video games are useless. How else could I learn to do this?" He slammed his hand on the console and the ship fell enough that the Triceraton ships shot each other down.

"This is the coolest thing ever!" Casey cheered.

Zane looked over at the Captain Violet. "I think we got on the wrong ship with two lunatics."

"Probably," Captain Violet admitted before looking at the screen and noticing the Triceraton ships were flying back to the mothership. "Mikey, look."

"They're leaving! Yes!" Michelangelo cheered. He gasped, noticing the large port on the bottom of the mothership. "Uh-oh."

"They're not leaving, are they?" Zane asked.

"Nope."

The port opened, lowering a large cannon that powered up, red rings lighting up on the ship. The cannon fired, striking the Technodrome and blowing it up. It sent out a shockwave that sent one of the stealth ships crashing down into the water.

👑👑👑

THE GOLDEN MASKED mutant turtle groaned, pushing herself onto her feet. "Did we... make it?"

"I think so," Raphael responded as Boy Danger pushed himself onto his feet as well. "At least the Technodrome's down. Maybe the battle's finally over."

They threw off the top hatch, pulling themselves out. Their ship was floating in the water. The Technodrome was crashing into the water beside them.

Leonardo answered his phone as it started ringing.

"Dude! Dude! There's a ship holding some kind of energy string. It's carrying some kind of giant thingy."

"You're not making any sense, Mikey," Leonardo said. He heard a ship fly by overhead and the four of them looked to see four Triceraton ships pulling along a circular object.

"It looks like a weapon," Captain Violet said over the line. "I think they're heading for Washington Square."

"I got this, chief. Oh, yeah! Turtle spaceship power!" Michelangelo yelled, making the ship fly toward the four Triceraton ships, only to bounce off a force field and plummet toward the ground.

"They have a force field of awesomeness!" Casey shouted.

"Not if we're falling, Casey!" Zane added.

"We're going down, guys!" Captain Violet yelled over the line.

There was the sound of a tremendous crash from over the phone. "Kaz," Leonardo started, calling the dark brown haired teenaged boy. "I need you and LeatherHead to get sensei and the rest of the Mutanimals. Gather as many of our friends as you can. I'll text everyone a place to meet up, cool?"

"What's the deal, Leo?" Eclipse asked.

"The deal is, we're gonna need all the help we can get."

👑👑👑

THEY MADE THEIR way to Washington Square, watching as the ships set down the weapon while Triceratons teleporting down and working on the mechanism.

"Those Triceratons are scientists," Bishop explained. "Their job is to program the black-hole generator." He motions over to the Triceratons brandishing their guns. "And those are the soldiers."

Leonardo released a breath. "Okay, we're gonna need the rest of the guys here fast."

"Are we enough for ya?" Casey questioned, appearing with Michelangelo, Captain Violet, and Zane.

"Guys, look." Zane said, pointing over at the scene.

"For the Triceraton Empire." The weapon released a blast and the city went completely dark.

"They're draining the city's energy to supply power to the weapon." Captain Violet explained.

"You mean no tv?" Michelangelo asked. "That ain't right!"

"That's the least of our concerns, Mikey." Eclipse told him.

"Alright, team," Leonardo said. "This could be our last battle. Are you ready?"

He took the lead as they silently made their way forward, not wanting to alert the aliens. Unfortunately, Michelangelo managed to step on the tail of one of the guard's, making their presence known.

"Earth creatures! Attack!"

The Triceratons started shooting and they all split up, dodging the lasers. "Take out their weapons." Bishop ordered.

As they were all dodging the lasers, they took out the Triceratons' guns at the same time as well. Then, Michelangelo ducked when a Triceraton got close and Bishop shot the alien down. The orange masked mutant turtle grinned at him, only for the droid to get repeatedly shot, body shutting down as he fell to the ground.

"Bishop! No!"

The sound of a gun powering up made Michelangelo spun around to find a dinosaur behind him with a gun aimed at him. Suddenly, shurikens hit the weapon and he ducked as it exploded, and everyone turned to see Splinter standing on a streetlight.

"We heard you might need some assistance."

Rockwell and Pete came up beside him.

"Sensei!" Leonardo and Boy Danger called, grinning.

"And reinforcements!" Raphael added. "Yes!"

A car was thrown into the air and landed on a Triceraton as Kaz, April, Mara, and Donatello came into view with Slash, LeatherHead, Muckman, and Mondo Gecko. With everyone else joining the fight, nobody was running from this fight.

Bishop managed to squirm his way out of his robotic body during the fighting as the battle took place.

"GOONGALA!" Casey shouted, shooting puck at the Triceratons, which only made them angrier. "Maybe I need an upgrade."

"Casey!" Zane shouted. He picked up a fallen gun and shot, the recoil sending him to the ground but hitting the Triceraton chasing Casey in the face.

Casey rolled to a stop beside him. "Awesome save, Zaney. Thanks." He winked at him.

"Cowabunga!" Mondo skated between them. "It's time for Mondo Gecko to open a can of—" he rammed into a Triceraton leg, falling to the ground. The Triceraton started stomping on him. "Oh— big feet."

"Mondo! Stay away from my pal, you alien freak!" Muckman lifted garbage to attack, only to get shoved down by more Triceratons.

Splinter jumped over three dinosaurs, taking them down with his cane. "We must stop the black hole weapon from being triggered."

"Slash and LeatherHead, take that machine down now!" Leonardo called.

LeatherHead rammed one of the dinosaurs and the two pushed against each other. "You destroy the weapon." The alligator said to Slash.

Slash ran for the weapon, knocking out one of the Triceraton scientists. He hit the machine with his mace. "Not even a scratch." He slammed the mace repeatedly against one of the control mechanisms.

Rockwell slammed a car into a dinosaur coming up behind Slash. "Great Scott!" He put his hands to his head. "More are about to beam down." A Triceraton beamed down right behind the mutant monkey, grabbing him and throwing him down onto the pavement, knocking off his helmet. "No! You vile, extinct—" Rockwell gasped when Mozar threw something at him, trapping him a bubble. "Oh, drat."

More Triceratons beamed down as Mozar threw another device near Slash, capturing him in a bubble as well. "No! Dino-freaks!"

"This battle is over," Mozar stated. "You have all lost."

LeatherHead roared and dashed at the Triceraton, only to get caught as well.

"LeatherHead!"

Michelangelo and Captain Violet ran to aid the mutant alligator, only for Mozar to grab them both. "Foolish little ones. You are coming with me." He beamed away, taking the two with him.

"MIKEY!"

"BRIANA!"

"MICHELANGELO! BRIANA!"

More Triceratons beamed down and Casey ran to get away from them, only to get trapped in a bubble.

"Casey!" Kaz shouted.

"Mara! No!" April said, just as Mara got trapped in a bubble as well. "I'll come back for you!" She called out as Eclipse pulled her back to cover just as more Triceratons beamed down.

"Everyone, retreat!" Boy Danger called, everyone running off.

👑👑👑

BOTH CAPTAIN VIOLET and Michelangelo screamed as they were beamed onto the Triceraton ship, both of them now in bubbles. There were more Triceratons below as they saluted Mozar while he walked across the platform.

"Captain Mozar, sir, you have capture Earth creatures." One of the Triceratons said.

"One of them happens to be a mutant specie of some kind, rare to the planet." Mozar responded, holding out one of the bubbles.

"I used to think dinosaurs were cool, but not you guys," Michelangelo snapped. "Why are you doing this, Dino-dude? Why can't you leave Earth alone?"

"Why?" Mozar retorted. "Because of the kraang! We will not let them take this planet. They want it as a hiding place from Dimension X, a back door where we Triceratons cannot detect them. So, we will simply destroy your planet and all of the kraang hiding there."

"But we don't want the kraang here, either!" Captain Violet said. "Why can't we just get along? We could stop the kraang together without destroying Earth!"

"No," Mozar responded firmly. "The decision has been made by the Triceraton Emperor. It cannot be changed."

Michelangelo punched through his bubble, breaking it and his sister's bubble as they fell to the floor. They both got back up quickly, pulling out their weapons. At the same time, they jumped at Mozar, only for the other Triceraton to grab them both, restraining them.

"Get off of us, dorksasrus!" Michelangelo snapped, struggling to get free.

"Should I take them to the brig, sir?" The Triceraton asked.

"No, ready the Psionic Extractor," Mozar ordered.

"Psionic Extractor? But, sir... we only use it on our greatest war criminals. It is too horrible and cruel even for the likes of—"

"SILENCE!" Mozar snapped. "Do as I command."

The Triceraton growled but obeyed, as images appeared on the screen.

"Wow," Michelangelo chuckled nervously. "That looks like it's gonna hurt."

"More than you can possibly image, creature." Mozar said.

Michelangelo chuckled awkwardly while Captain Violet gulped.

👑👑👑

"WE GOT TO go back for them, sensei," Leonardo said as they made their way stealthy across the rooftops. "We can't just leave them there."

"And what about Mikey and Bri?" Raphael added. "What are they gonna do to them up there in that freaky ship— probe them?"

"First, we must destroy the black hole machine," Splinter stated. "This is the priority. If we cannot stop this weapon, the entire world is doomed."

"Sensei, I think it's gonna take some time for the Triceratons to fix all the damage Slash caused." Eclipse said.

"We got to go after Mikey and Bri," Boy Danger said. "Even if we stopped the generator, we still have to get them back."

Splinter nodded. "Go then. Save your brother and sister. April and I will stop the Triceratons and rescue your friends."

"Uh, by ourselves?" Kaz asked.

"You're kidding, right, sensei?" April added.

Splinter glanced back at her. "We will ally ourselves with someone even more powerful than the Mighty Mutanimals."

"Um, who?" Zane asked.

"The Shredder."

A stunned silence fills the air for a while before everyone snapped. "WHAT!?"

"Shredder!? He hates us! Why would he help us?" Eclipse asked.

"He teamed up with the kraang for the end of the world!" Raphael added. "He's not gonna wanna help us!"

"It is the only way to save Earth, and if we have to work with the enemy, so be it." Splinter said seriously, clearly not changing his mind.

Boy Danger frowned slightly, lost in his own thoughts as he felt conflicted. He definitely didn't trust Shredder to help them with this and just the thought of having to fight alongside the man made the wolf inside of him anxious.

However... there was one another person that he thought might be willingly— after a little bit of convincing— that could help them out. And if he had to be honest, he trusted that person a lot more than Shredder.

"Fine," Boy Danger spoke up as the others looked towards him. "But there's someone else that I know that can help us."

"Who?" Donatello asked.

Boy Danger hesitated for a split second before he took a deep breath. "David."

Another round of stunned silence fills the air between them until Leonardo breaks it. "David? He wants to kill you, remember? Why would he help us?"

"He wants to kill the Argents more than he wants me, remember? He wants his revenge more than killing me." Boy Danger said. "Daniel said that he wasn't always like this and the only reason why he stopped fighting me the first time was because Daniel convinced him not to put Derek and Scott in danger by getting us caught. All I'd have to do is convince him to help us but I'd trust him a lot more than Shredder."

"You really think he'd help us?" Donatello asked.

"It's worth a shot."

Eclipse knows that the only reason why her brothers were hesitant towards the idea was because of David wanting to kill Henry and although he was right about David wanting to kill the Argents more than him, even she was skeptical about trusting David but at the same time, she trusted Henry and she knew that she wouldn't be thinking of this if it could put them in harm's way.

Giving a small sigh, Eclipse spoke up. "While you guys go get Mikey and Bri back, I'll go with him in case David decides to try anything."

"You trust David?" Raphael asked.

"No, but I trust Henry more."

👑👑👑

"IS THE TERRAN ready for psionic extraction?" Mozar asked.

Michelangelo whimpered, strapped to some sort of chair while Captain Violet was being held by a nearby Triceraton. "Hold up, Dino-dudes. Let's talk about this. For reals, though."

"This machine will drain all of your knowledge of Earth and the kraang," a Triceraton explained.

"And in the process, your psyche will be sliced, diced, chopped, and removed from your puny brain." Mozar added.

"I don't have the biggest psycho, but I like what I got!" Michelangelo protested.

"Activate the Extractor!"

Michelangelo whimpered and closed his eyes as the machine turned on. He soon started laughing. "Wow. Yeah, so cool. Look at that. It's like a triple rainbow, brah. Whoo, yeah! My teeth feel like batteries. I'm faster than light."

"Turn it off! Turn it off now!" Mozar snapped, the machine shutting down.

Michelangelo gasped as he was released from the chair, getting up. "Dude, why did you stop? That was better than, like, 100 million rollercoaster rides in outer space! Can I do it again? Can I? Please?"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Mozar snapped. "What knowledge did you extracted?"

"Very little useful information, Captain," a Triceraton responded. "The only thought the creature seems to have is for a substance called pizza."

"Destroy the pathetic alien," Mozar ordered. He motioned for the Triceraton that was holding Captain Violet. "We'll use her instead."

The Triceratons grabbed Michelangelo and threw him against the wall, aiming their guns at him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up!" Michelangelo said quickly as his baby sister let out a yelp when she was thrown into the chair, the locks snapping into place. "I know stuff!"

"You know nothing," Mozar retorted. "Activate the Extractor!"

"Wait!"

The machine turned on and Captain Violet couldn't help but start laughing. "Wow! This is like a rollercoaster! Haha, I feel like I'm flying!"

Mozar growled, frustrated. "TURN IT OFF! NOW!"

The machine turned off and Captain Violet stood up from the chair when she was released, giggling. "Wow, I kinda wanna do that again." She said.

Mozar rolled his eyes. "What knowledge did you extracted?"

"Very little useful information again, sir," a Triceraton said. "The only thoughts the girl seems to have were about a future wedding with some boy named Kaz or what their future kids would look like."

As if she was still thinking about it, Captain Violet couldn't help but giggle uncontrollably while her cheeks turned a light shade of red as she faced her brother. "You know, I'm thinking of a vanilla cake for mine and Kaz's wedding."

Michelangelo couldn't help but smirk a little, making a mental note to tease her about this later— or to tell the others.

"DESTROY THEM!"

Suddenly, Captain Violet was thrown against the wall next to her brother with guns aimed at them. "Wait! We know stuff!" Michelangelo tried again.

"You two know nothing." Mozar snapped.

"We know all the secret bases where the kraang hide in Dimension X!"

👑👑👑

KAZ SNUCK HIS way into Shredder's lair with April and Zane, keeping to the shadows as the three of them made it to the throne room. They moved through the room but stopped at a warthog's snort, taking out their weapons.

Bebop slammed April and Zane onto the floor, grabbing one of Kaz's wrist as he made himself visible. "Hey, who do you think opened that door for—"

Kaz slammed his free hand into Bebop's nose, causing the mutant warthog to release him as he stumbled back, holding onto his nose. "Ow, my nose! Why is everyone always hitting my nose!?"

Splinter jumped down, slamming his cane onto Bebop's head, knocking him out while Kaz helped April and Zane to their feet.

"Well, if it isn't city boy."

"Oh, brother." Kaz said in annoyance, rolling his eyes at the familiar voice. He, April, and Zane turned to find Cameron, Noelle, and Tyson entering the room with TigerClaw.

"You know, this was a really dumb decision to make breaking in here." Tyson said, as the members of the Foot Clan charged at them.

Kaz took on Cameron, April took on Noelle, Zane took on Tyson, and Splinter took on TigerClaw.

"We have not come to fight you!" Splinter snapped, hitting TigerClaw with the cane.

"Foolish move, bringing cubs here." TigerClaw responded.

Although April and Zane were holding their own pretty well, Bebop grabbed their ankles and allowed Rocksteady to pick them up in both hands. Kaz, on the other hand, managed to kick Cameron down until his arms were grabbed and Razar pinned them behind his back.

"Let go!"

Splinter shoved the mutant tiger back. "April! Kaz! Zane!"

TigerClaw aimed his gun at the mutant rat, powering it up.

"STOP!" "THAT'S ENOUGH!"

At the two voices, TigerClaw lowered his gun as Splinter turned his head to see Shredder and Jake standing behind him.

"I wish to know why Hamato Yoshi has come here." Shredder unsheathed his blades. "Perhaps to end his miserable existence?"

"Our fend is meaningless in the face of this invasion, Saki," Splinter said. "The world will soon be destroyed." He turned to Shredder. "Will you sit by and watch? Or will you help us save it all?"

Shredder aimed his blades at Splinter. "What have you done with Karai?"

"We searched for her, but she is gone," Splinter said. "Alive, but vanished from the city."

"You lie!"

"He's telling the truth, Shredder," Zane said. "Karai's still out there somewhere."

"Oh, and if the Earth blows up, guess what that means?" Kaz snapped. "You'll never see her again. So, maybe for once in your miserable, evil life, how about doing the right thing? That is if you really care about Karai."

👑👑👑

THE COUPLE MANAGED to reach the rooftop of the apartment building where Daniel lives and before the golden masked mutant turtle could make her way to the fire escape, Boy Danger gently grabbed her hand to stop her from moving as she faced him.

"Thank you," Boy Danger said. "I know you don't trust David either, but thanks for helping me convince the others. It means a lot."

Eclipse gave her boyfriend a soft smile as she took hold of his hand in hers. "I meant what I say, babe. I don't trust David but I do trust you, and I know that unless you knew that you couldn't trust David around us, you wouldn't be asking for his help."

"God, I love you, so much," Boy Danger said softly, a warm smile on his face as his eyes met hers.

"I love you too," Eclipse said, not breaking the eye contact. "But I will kill David if he even tries to kill you."

At her words, Boy Danger couldn't help but give a small chuckle. "Oh, I know you will."

Eclipse then leaned in and pressed her lips against his, kissing him as she could feel him happily kiss back. When the two pulled away after a few seconds, she smiled at him. "Ready?"

"Ready."

The pair jumped down onto the fire escape, stopping till they reached Daniel's window and Boy Danger knocked on it. Then, Natalie appeared on the other side of it and opened it.

"They were wondering when you'd get here." Natalie responded, letting the two step into the apartment.

"They?"

"Well, if it isn't my nephew."

Boy Danger turned and spotted David standing there with his two sons while Daniel stood behind the couch, his arms crossed over his chest as he rolled his eyes at his brother.

"Don't start, David," Daniel warned before looking over at his son. "What's going on, kid?"

"We need your help," Boy Danger turned to look at David. "All of yours."

Derek rolled his eyes. "Isn't it your job to protect this city? What's in it for us? Or is it too much for you guys?"

"Derek, play nice with your cousin," David warned before turning his head to his nephew. "But I do have to agree with my son. What's in it for me?"

"How about keeping your life?" Boy Danger sharply remarked. "I mean, you do want your revenge against the Argents, don't you?"

"And what makes you think I didn't already get it?" David asked, moving closer to him till he stopped just a few feet away from him.

"Because if you had," Boy Danger said. "You wouldn't be here right now. Hell, you would've done from the moment you first arrive in this city if you could, but you can't, right? At least, not without putting your sons at risk. That's why you wanted to fight me. You keep saying it's to kill me, but that's not the full truth of it, is it? You need me."

"It's a good guess, but if it were true, I could just make you help me. I'm the alpha, kid."

"Then, why haven't you done it yet?" Boy Danger questioned. "You say it yourself— you're the big, bad alpha. Why not make me help you then?"

David didn't said a word as he stared at him and while he did, he could feel the dominance and authority rolling off of his nephew— and his nephew hadn't even discovered what type of wolf he really was. He chuckled as he looked over at his brother.

"No wonder why you're so fond of him, big brother," David said. "He doesn't know and I can feel it coming off of him."

"Feel what?" Natalie asked, confused by what her uncle was supposedly talking about.

But David didn't answer as he turned his head towards the golden masked mutant turtle, a small smirk on his face. "I wonder if..."

"Dad." Scott warned, knowing what the man was thinking of.

"Oh, don't worry, Scott. It's just a test to see if it's true." David started to reach out as if to grab Eclipse, but he never got to as a hand grabbed onto his wrist and sharply yanked it away from her.

David smirked when Boy Danger glared up at her, his eyes glowing yellow while snarling his sharp teeth at her. "Don't. Touch. Her." The teenaged boy warned firmly.

David pulled his hand free, watching as his nephew's eyes and teeth turned normal. "That answers one question, but now..." he stopped talking and held up his left hand, letting his fingernails turn into his claws.

Daniel sighed, knowing what he was doing. "David, seriously?"

David ignored him and raised his claws, going to slice his nephew but a pair of kamas blocked his attack while a pair of emerald green eyes glared deadly at him.

"Touch him and I'll turn you into a fur coat." Eclipse threatened.

David only chuckled at her threat as he pulled his hand back, retracting his claws as his fingernails returned to normal. "Well, that definitely confirms it," he said. "The mate-bond is forming between you two."

"Mate-bond?"

David turned to his brother with annoyance written on his face. "Is there anything that you didn't keep from the kid, big brother?"

Daniel glared at him. "I was more focused on teaching him control before he had to face you, David."

David snorted. "Clearly."

"Would someone hurry up and explain? We're in the middle of an invasion here, and we need your help." Boy Danger retorted.

This time, it was Daniel who sighed as he turned towards his son. "You two have known each other since you were kids, right?"

Both Boy Danger and Eclipse nodded.

"The mate-bond is like an imprint in a way for us shapeshifters," Daniel explained. "It's a powerful, supernatural bond that occurs between one of our kind— a shapeshifter and whoever they're in love with, and they forge an unbreakable bond that takes time to grow. Like for you two, since you've both known each other your whole lives and even though you weren't aware of your DNA, Henry, the mate-bond had always been there between you two— it just started off as you two getting to know each other and becoming best friends. The older you both got, the more the mate-bond between you two grew as you both came to discover your romantic feelings for each other. Now that you two are dating, the mate-bond between you two is growing stronger and why you two are not only pulled towards each other, but are so protective of the other."

"So, like, love at first sight?"

"It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like..." Daniel explained. "Gravity moves and suddenly, it's not the earth that's holding you— keeping your feet on the ground. She is, and you'll do anything to keep her safe, just like she would for you."

"In other words, for us shapeshifters, the mate-bond is how we find our soulmate," Scott added. "When the mate-bond happens, we become unconditionally bound to our soulmate since wolves mate for life."

"Not to mention that it's also a pack law that once a shapeshifter finds their soulmate, she can't be harmed or killed since that would also kill the shapeshifter," Derek added as well before motioning to his father. "So, he wouldn't be able to do anything to her anyways since it's the most strict, absolute law that our kind has."

Boy Danger turned to look at David. "So, what was that whole thing when you went to grab her?"

"Relax, kid," David said with a shrug. "I wanted to get your reaction to see if it was true. She wasn't going to get hurt." He turned his head towards his brother. "You know, big brother, it'd be a whole lot faster if you told the kid everything else he needs to know."

"There's no time for that right now, David," Daniel said firmly. "There's an invasion going on and we all need to focus on that."

David rolled his eyes. "This city and the invasions. I swear, this city is like a magnet for trouble."

"We still need your help." Boy Danger told him. "All of yours."

"That's true, but again, what's in it for me?"

Eclipse raised a brow. "Keeping your life or knowing your sons will get to stay alive isn't enough?"

"It is, but..." David started. "There's something else I want too." He looked over at his nephew and smirked. "You know what  it is, don't you, kid?"

"You want me to help you take down the Argents."

"Bingo."

Daniel frowned as he shook his head. "He's not a killer, David."

"No, but he is a predator," David answered. "And if he wants to protect his loved ones, then he won't have a chance to." He looked back towards Boy Danger. "You want my help, and I want yours in taking the Argents down. So, what do you say, kid? You down to help out Uncle David?"

Boy Danger stared at him for a while before looking over at Eclipse, who gave him a small smile. He returned the smile before looking back at his uncle.

"Fine, I'll help you, but," Boy Danger said as he pointed at Daniel. "He's right, I'm not a killer. So, if I'm gonna help you take down the Argents— whoever they are, we're gonna do it my way without killing."

Derek scoffed at those words. "If you knew who they were— or what they did, you wouldn't be saying that."

"Yeah, well, I don't," Boy Danger said sharply before narrowing his eyes at his uncle. "You want my help? Fine, but we're doing things my way. Deal?"

David stared at his nephew, thinking it over. Although he was the alpha, he knew that his nephew was still stronger than him and he knew why too, but his nephew hadn't discovered what his wolf really was— yet. And as much as he wanted to kill the Argents— to make them suffer for what they did, he knew that he still needed help and if he had to be honest, all that had to happen was for his nephew to see who the Argents really were and then... then, he'll kill them.

"Alright, kid," David replied. "You got yourselves a deal." He smirked. "Let's go kick some dinosaurs butt."

👑👑👑

THE SHIP THAT Michelangelo had crashed was stuck between two buildings as the three mutant turtles were behind a car. "Wow, not a bad parking job." Donatello commented.

The humans still inside the car started screaming, startling the three mutant turtles and making them scream too. The humans quickly got out of the car and started running.

"More aliens! Run!"

"Ugh, humans are so annoying sometimes." Raphael muttered.

Then, they made their way toward the stealth ship and Leonardo took the controls as it powered up.

"The mothership is approximately 100,000 miles from Earth, roughly half of the distance of the Earth to the moon." Donatello said.

"Alright, I think I'm getting the hang of this." Leonardo said as the ship started to ascend. It crashed down onto the pavement, rolling on its side.

"You were saying?" Raphael retorted.

Leonardo chuckled nervously and tried again. This time, he was able to get the ship up into the air and steered it toward the mothership. Soon, they had officially left Earth's atmosphere and were in space, floating around the ship due to the lack of gravity.

Raphael wasn't enjoying the zero gravity at all. "Blech. Turtles were definitely not meant to go to space." He threw up.

"Hold on. Let me turn on the artificial gravity." Donatello said, typing on the console.

The gravity turned on and they all fell onto the ground. Donatello started laughing until Raphael's vomit fell on his head. He started yelling, trying to wipe the stuff away while everyone else got back up.

"There it is," Leonardo said, spotting the giant ship before them. "The mothership."

"Okay, but where's Bri and Mikey?" Raphael asked.

"I'm detecting two unique life signatures coming from the closest craft," Donatello said. "It's got to be them." He started typing on the console. "And check it out— I think I finally figured out the cloak on this baby." He laughed as the ship went invisible. "They'll never find us now."

Triceraton ships suddenly began detaching from the sides of the larger craft and headed right for them.

"Okay," Donatello started. "Um, this is disturbing."

"Ugh, don't make me throw up again." Raphael said.

"I think the Triceratons are locking onto us with their weapons. Floor it, Leo! Go, go, go!" Donatello said.

Leonardo slammed his hands onto the orb and the ship rapidly picked up speed as the Triceratons started to attack. He steered them right past the ships that had started following them and firing at them.

"How can they see us, Donnie?" Leonardo asked.

"Let me text them and find out," Donatello said sarcastically before yelling. "I HAVE NO IDEA!"

They jolted as one of the ships crashed into them. Leonardo slammed the stealth ship into another ship, though it didn't do much. "Raph, man the defenses!"

"I'm on it."

Raphael took control of the console and started shooting at the ships. They dodged the attacks and one landed a hit on the stealth ship. He took over the controls and slammed the stealth ship into the same ship that had shot them, making the stealth ship cling to it. He started punching the console, making the ship punch the Triceraton ship and another ship hit them with lasers, but Raphael fired up the stealth ship's weapons, zapping and exploding the ship.

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

But their victory didn't last long as more ships blasted them with lasers. Leonardo turned the ship to head back toward them.

"We're not gonna make it!" Donatello said quickly. "There's just too many of them, Captain!"

They stared at the mothership as a port opened and the large ship turned a cannon on them, the other ships fleeing. The cannon powered up and the three mutant turtles screamed as they grabbed onto each other. For a moment, they disappeared and then reappeared as they stopped screaming, finding themselves inside of the mothership.

"We're alive!" Leonardo exclaimed.

"You snagged a teleporter?" Raphael questioned, staring at the object in his brother's hands. "You mean we could've just beamed here!?"

"There's only one charge and I—" Donatello cut off at the click of a gun to find Triceratons around them with their guns aimed at them. "Oh, man, we're in trouble."

Mozar walked into view, holding up Michelangelo and Captain Violet. "Guys, that was awesome!" Michelangelo said excitedly. "Thanks for the sweet rescue."

"So, who's gonna rescue us next— Danger, Clips, April, Casey, Mara, Zane, Kaz?" Captain Violet added.

"Um... how about Shredder?" Leonardo added nervously.

"Or David?" Raphael added.

Michelangelo and Captain Violet blinked. "What!?"

👑👑👑

FROM A FAIR distance, Boy Danger and Eclipse watched as Bebop appeared on a water tower, making stupid noises to gain the attention of the Triceraton below. Then, he started doing a stupid dance, making the Triceraton laugh and while they were distracted, Rocksteady slammed into the dinosaur and knocked him off the roof.

Another Triceraton noticed the other fall into a truck and Splinter jumped off his head. The Triceraton went to shoot, only for Shredder to slice through his gun, cutting off the end of it. Shredder punched the dinosaur continuously before kicking him down onto the pavement.

"I still hate the idea of him fighting with us." Eclipse said, glaring at the man.

"Me too." Boy Danger said, glaring at the man before his glare landed on Jake, who was in the fight as well.

"How did you guys get them to help, anyways?" Daniel questioned.

"I don't know, Clips and I went to get you and David," Boy Danger said. "My guess is that they mentioned Karai, but I don't trust him— even if he's fighting with us."

"And you trust me?" David questioned, a small smirk tugged at his lips.

Boy Danger rolled his eyes. "You ask me who I trust between you or Shredder— and you can bet that the answer would be you." He looked back down to see Splinter running off with Shredder, April, Kaz, Zane, and the rest of the Foot Clan following. "Come on."

They arrived quickly at Washington Square and took cover in the shadows, watching the Triceratons.

"Um, whatever we do, we better do it fast." Zane said.

"The timer is repaired," one Triceraton said. "This planet has mere nextons to live."

"We must not waste time, Master," TigerClaw stated. "We mus— oh, no."

More Triceratons beamed down.

👑👑👑

THE RED MASKED mutant turtle grunted as a Triceraton pushed him onto his knees alongside his siblings in front of Mozar.

"Captain Mozar, please," Donatello pleaded. "Don't destroy the Earth. Our world has so much potential."

"The humans of your world are as thoughtless as the kraang," Mozar retorted. "They pollute the planet, erode its ozone willingly, and they don't even need mutagen to do it."

"You're wrong!" Captain Violet said. "There's hundreds of people fighting to save the planet! There might be some bad people, but there's good people too! But if you keep thinking about the bad things that people do, then you'll never see the good and then, you'll be no better than the kraang! You're already like the kraang by trying to destroy our planet instead of letting us live in peace!"

For a second, Mozar looked taken aback while her brothers stared at their baby sister with surprised looks. But then, Mozar narrowed his eyes at them. "Escort them to the airlock and be done with them."

"You can destroy us, Mozar," Leonardo said. "That's okay."

They turned their heads to look at him.

"It is?" Michelangelo asked.

"But I'm asking you one last time before I take this whole ship down— let the Earth survive or be destroyed."

"Empty threats."

Leonardo grabbed the wrist of the Triceraton behind him, jumping over his arm and grabbing the teleporter on his belt.

"What's this? No! Stop!"

Leonardo activated the teleporter and threw it at the window, making a hole and letting everything begin to get sucked out of it. Then, Leonardo grabbed the end of the console and grabbed Raphael to stop him from getting sucked in, and then Raphael grabbed Donatello, who grabbed Michelangelo, who grabbed Captain Violet.

But then, Mozar knocked into Captain Violet on his way by, grabbing hold of her and blocking the hole.

"VIOLET!"

Michelangelo threw his nunchucks toward her, letting her grab on. Captain Violet snatched Mozar's teleporter as another Triceraton slammed into him, throwing both of them into space.

"Bros, check it out!" Captain Violet activated the teleporter. "Booyaka—" the next thing they knew was that they were back in New York, falling out of the sky. "—sha!"

They fell onto the street, rolling till to a stop. They groaned as they sat up and managed to avoid a high-powered laser shot through the truck behind them just as they got back onto their feet. They looked through the hole and their eyes widened when they spotted Shredder's minions in the square fighting the other Triceratons, and so was David with Derek and Scott.

Then, they ran off towards the fight to help them out.

👑👑👑

"I SAID LET me go!" Bebop kicked the Triceraton holding him in the face, knocking the dinosaur down as he flipped onto his feet. "I'm okay."

"April!"

"Zane!"

"Kaz!"

Kaz, Zane, and April ran over to where Casey, Mara, Slash, and Rockwell were being held in the bubbles.

"I knew you wouldn't leave us behind."

"We'll get you guys out in no time." April grabbed one of the devices, slamming it repeatedly against the ground. "Come on."

The device broke and Mara's bubble popped. "Yes! Thanks, Cupcake. You're the best!"

Zane managed to break the device and Casey's bubble popped. "Alright! Thanks, Zaney. You rule!"

Kaz managed to break the device and Slash's bubble popped.

"We're getting the rest of you out."

"No, there's no time," Rockwell argued. "Just go!"

A Triceraton ran at the teens, but David used his claws to cut the gun in half. Then, David leapt up and kicked the dinosaur in the face, sending him flying back.

"Run!" David told the teens, who bolted.

Splinter and Shredder were fighting together, taking down the Triceratons with ease with their combined strength and skills.

"Hurry, Saki! We have no time!"

"Trouble," Boy Danger heard the wolf inside of him growl. "Threat."

Boy Danger looked over and spotted Splinter running for the black hole device with Shredder close behind. His eyes widened when he saw Shredder extracting his blades out.

"MASTER SPLINTER, LOOK OUT!"

But the warning came too late as the sound of metal piercing flesh made his ears pricked as Boy Danger and the others froze in their tracks at the sight of Shredder's blade piercing through Splinter's stomach— and when Shredder pulled his blades back, Splinter collapsed.

"NOOOO!" Boy Danger and the five mutant turtles screamed, running for the mutant rat's body.

Captain Violet stood there, her eyes wide as her feet felt like they were glued to the ground. She hissed sharply when the voices in her head grew louder and louder and then, she squeezed her eyes shut as she let out a bloodcurdling scream at the same time April let out a scream of her own.

While April's scream sent out a telepathic shock, Captain Violet's scream sent a blast of magic erupting from the girl as both blasts hit Shredder and sent him flying away from Splinter.

An alarm started going off as Captain Violet reached her siblings and her father's body. The ground around the weapon started cracking as it lifted into the air, sucking up the area around it. The weapon expanded, creating a giant black hole that began sucking in everything. The Triceratons fled quickly, teleporting away.

"Shredder, what have you done!?" TigerClaw snapped.

"Hamato Yoshi is finished," Shredder responded. "The Earth can be destroyed, for all I care. I have finally won!"

Boy Danger snarled his sharp teeth dangerously at the man, his vision blurring with tears while his eyes glowed yellow. "I'm gonna rip your arms off your body and shove them down your throat!" He threatened.

Eclipse grabbed his hand, keeping him from attacking Shredder.

The rest of their friends had arrived beside them, kneeling beside Splinter's body. Leonardo pulled Splinter's head into his lap and Michelangelo hugged him as he started crying. Captain Violet felt her eyes burned as tears blurred her vision.

Then, in order to keep from being pulled in, they were all holding onto anything solid while everything else was being sucked in.

The battle was over, and they'd lost.

A bright light suddenly shone down on them as a white spaceship descended from the sky to land in front of them. A ramp lowered and the door lowered to reveal the silhouette of a white robot stood in the doorway.

"Hurry!" The robot called. "We haven't much time!"

"Can we trust him?" Donatello asked.

"Do we have a choice?" Mara retorted, taking off for the ship with the others close by.

As they began to take off for the ship, Boy Danger stopped for a second and turned his head to look over at Daniel. Daniel only gave him a small smile and nodded at him before whispering to Natalie, but his ears pricked, picking up their conversation.

"Go with your brother."

"What? Daniel—"

"Go, Natalie."

Boy Danger noticed how Natalie hesitated for a second before she took off running towards him. He let her past him and run into the ship while his eyes stared at the man that was his biological father as his stomach dropped for some reason at the thought of Daniel getting sucked into the black hole.

"Damn it, Daniel," Boy Danger mumbled before calling out to him. "Come on!"

But Daniel didn't move and instead called out. "I'll see you again, kid, but until then... you got this."

"No!" Boy Danger shouted. "Damn it, Daniel, move it!"

"Henry!" Leonardo yelled, grabbing his arm. "We got to go!"

"No, not without Daniel!"

David turned to his sons and motioned for them to go. "Go with them."

"What? Dad, we can't leave you." Derek said.

"Something tells me that they're not finished yet," David said. "Now, go."

Scott frowned, not understanding why his father was being like this. "Dad, if this is you wanting us to spy—"

"This isn't that, Scott," David cut in. "Get out of here now before it's too late. Go!"

Both Derek and Scott frowned for a second before nodding, taking off for the ship and passing by the blue masked mutant turtle and their cousin. Reluctantly, Boy Danger followed Leonardo towards the ship after seeing that Daniel wouldn't move.

The two Hale brothers gave each other a small nod before letting themselves get sucked into the black hole.

The spaceship blasted off into space and stopped, the black hole trying to pull them back.

"Everyone, hold on." The robot said. He threw on the boosters and escaped the black hole's pull.

Everyone stood at the window, watching in despair as Earth was pulled into the black hole. It collapsed once Earth was gone, sending out a blast that slammed into the ship, sending them to the floor. Once the blast passed, they pushed themselves back up.

"Did that just happened?" Kaz asked.

Leonardo and Boy Danger stared at the screen. "The Earth, Splinter, everyone, everything."

"Gone... lost forever in an infinite gravitational singularity." Donatello finished.

"Holy pepperoni." Michelangelo said.

Boy Danger continued to stare out the screen at where Earth used to be. He didn't know why but the thought of Daniel being gone forever... it made his stomach dropped and his heart hurt. He clenched his fists as he squeezed his eyes shut.

'Damn it, Daniel. Why didn't you just come with us?' He thought secretly to himself.

"Watching your entire world vanish into the quantum singularity of a black hole is rather distressing," the robot admitted. "Bloop, bleep." He held out a mug to Raphael. "Can I offer you some hot chocolate?"

Raphael scoffed and pushed the mug away from him. "Who the hell are you?" He demanded.

"My name is Professor Zayton Honeycutt, and you, my friends, are about to embark on a wondrous adventure."

Casey grinned. "This is... awesome!"

"Master Splinter, Daniel, everyone that we care about is gone. But now, thanks to Professor Honeycutt, we're about to get a second chance at saving them— something that doesn't come regularly."
