A/N: Eclipse belongs to GeekyCookie1. Mara and Zane belongs to MariChat3.

So, I know it's supposed to be the Trans-Dimensional Turtles episode next but since that episode doesn't really have anything to do with the black hole generator, I'm skipping it. I may actually use that episode for a different idea later on but it depends on how I have everything planned out goes.

Enjoy!

"Sometimes when you think that things are going your way, something happens and it makes everything go downhill."

MARA FLOPPED ONTO the rec-room's couch as Leonardo, Briana, Michelangelo, Eclipse, Henry, Derek, April, Zane, Scott, and Natalie entered. "So, like, how long does it take to get to the other side of the cosmos?" She asked.

"You mean the— pizza— ZZ3 Plural X Beta system?" Michelangelo asked as he used the think-a-food machine to order pizza for the group.

"I can't believe you remember that, Mikey." Eclipse commented as Briana playfully shoved Mara off the couch, the teenaged girl crashed to the floor and Derek snickered.

"What do you— pizza, pizza, pizza— mean?" Michelangelo asked. "I have a great memory, sis."

"At least it'll be the last piece of the black hole generator." Henry pointed out as they all settled either on the couch or the floor to watch tv. Michelangelo jumped over the couch, throwing everyone their pizza as he did.

"It'll take a while to get there," Natalie added, catching her pizza and sitting back on the couch.

"Plenty of time for Chris Bradford and his 2Ruff Crew!" Michelangelo responded with a grin, turning on the tv.

It didn't take long for them to start laughing at the show's stupidity, throwing their pizza slices at the screen.

"Lamest show ever!"

WITHIN THE BRIDGE, Raphael was on his monitor duty shift with Kaz and Casey. Although they were all in space, the fact that nothing was happening at the moment was making the whole thing boring— not to mention that they were all getting anxious of being able to go back home after they find and destroy the black hole generator. However, Casey was being unusually quiet in the moment, as if he was lost in his thoughts, thinking something over-- something that both Kaz and Raphael were quick to notice.

"Hey, knucklehead," Kaz said, lightly smacking the back of Casey's head to snap him back to reality. "What the hell is going through your mind?"

"What? Nothing, I..." Casey paused for a second before he spoke up again. "Okay, fine, I don't know if this is going to come as a surprise, but... I think I'm bi."

Both Kaz and Raphael just stared at him, as if they were waiting for him to keep going while Casey couldn't help but raised an eyebrow at them. "Is that supposed to be your surprise faces?"

"No, dumbass," Raphael said. "It's our "about damn time" faces."

Casey blinked. "How did you guys know before I did?"

"Well, if you have to know," Kaz started. "I had my suspicions that you were bi when we were in middle school. I just didn't confirm my thoughts until we were in high school and met Zane for the first time."

"And I always knew from the day we met," Raphael added. "It was obvious, your slow ass was just too dumb to realize."

"And why didn't you guys tell me?"

"What the hell did you think the hints or us teasing you about Zane were, moron?" Kaz questioned with a raised eyebrow before he kept going. "So, you figured out you're bi. Like Raph say, about damn time. You're bi and you being bi doesn't change anything— you're still Casey Jones, and you just happened to figured out that you're in love with Zane. What the hell are you stressing about? The next part is the fun part: telling Zane and getting together."

"You're forgetting something," Casey said. "What if he doesn't feel the same?"

Kaz facepalmed while Raphael rolled his eyes at him. "You're an idiot." The red masked mutant turtle told him.

"How am I an idiot?"

"Because you're stupid enough to think that Zane doesn't have feelings for you."

"He might not." Casey defended himself.

"Right, cause all those times where we saw Zane getting jealous when you used to flirt with April says that he doesn't have feelings for you," Kaz said sarcastically before rolling his eyes at him. "Are you dumb? It's obvious that Zane likes you."

"Everyone here can see it except you," Raphael added. "Which is annoying because you and Zane stare at each other like you're ready to go find an empty room and make out."

Casey felt his cheeks turned red in embarrassment as he looked away. "It's not that obvious... right?"

"Yeah, it is," Kaz said. "So, are you gonna tell Zane or what?"

"...not?"

"You're a dumbass."

IN THE ENGINE room of the ship, Donatello was helping Fugitoid recalibrate the ship's thrusters. "Hmm, I believe we'll get 27% out of the ship's thrusters." He said, looking at the holographic screen above his staff.

"27.2%, to be precise," the robot corrected with a beep, looking over at the mutant turtle. "Without your help, we would not have gained that extra .2%!"

"Well, thanks Professor," Donatello said. "But I've got to admit, since we started working together, I barely feel qualified to be your lab assistant."

"Nonsense!" Fugitoid dismissed, patting his shoulder as he walked past. "My lab assistants were robots and you are qualified as any robot!"

Donatello rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with the ship now. But I still don't know next to nothing about science and the universe compared to you!"

"It's not your fault," Fugitoid added. "You have sharp minds. You're quite gifted. But you grew up on Earth. So, naturally, you're 3,000 years behind the standard concepts of physics."

"3,000 years!?" Donatello exclaimed. "I mean, I— I'm a galactic idiot!"

Suddenly, an alarm started going off in the ship and everyone ran into the bridge. "It's the Triceratons, they find us!" Casey said.

Out the window, there were a bunch of Triceraton ships appearing, surrounding the ship. Everyone got to their stations just as Mozar made contact with the ship.

"Attention Starship Ulixes! This is Captain Mozar of the Triceraton Empire."

"Captain?" Raphael questioned. "Didn't this jerk used to be an Admiral?"

Kaz snorted. "I bet the jerk got 'demoted cause of us."

"Serves him right." Scott stated.

"IDIOTS!" Mozar snapped. "I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING YOU SAY!"

Derek rolled his eyes. "Someone's cranky."

"You are surrounded! Hand over the pieces of the black hole device to me, or we will BLOW YOU OUT OF THE COSMOS!"

"Oh, please! You'll kill us even if we give you the pieces." Zane commented.

"You have my word as a Triceraton that I will allow you a three-nexton head-start." Mozar assured. "And then, we will chase you down and blow you away!"

"Real generous, horn-head." Mara said sarcastically.

"Here's your answer, Mozar," Leonardo said firmly. "We are not giving you the pieces, no matter what you do!"

"Very well then, prepare to be boarded." Mozar then ended the transmission and silence fell over the ship while the Triceraton fleet was advancing.

"We don't have the firepower to take those guys," Henry stated. "Move! Go, go, go!"

The ship started moving away from the massive Triceraton fleet while the faster Raptors gave chase.

"We can't outrun their entire fleet!" April said.

"Maybe with our upgraded thrusters!" Donatello said, typing into the console.

"Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" Michelangelo cheered. "Floor it, Fuge!"

Fugitoid typed into his console, urging the ship to go forward. "No matter what, we must keep heading toward the Plural X Beta System," he reminded everyone. "We can't afford to let the Triceraton beat us there!"

The Triceratons began shooting at them as they kept the ship moving forward.

"Almost ready for the Tachyon Jump," Fugitoid told them. "They won't be able to track us down again because we're awesome!"

"Everyone, brace yourselves!" Donatello shouted.

The ship shook with the impact as one of the lasers hit it.

"Warp Engine 2 is out!" Briana said, before noticing the missiles heading for them. "Incoming!"

The ship swerved out of the line of fire.

"That was a close one," Derek said.

"We got another one." Kaz warned.

They managed to dodge the next two missiles and Leonardo let out a relieved sigh. "Good work, team!"

"Phew! Those were planet-busters. We would've been vaporized." Raphael said.

"Yeah," Michelangelo agreed. "Good thing they're gonna hit that moon instead of us."

Everyone froze, their eyes widening in horror at his words.

"Moon!?" Fugitoid shouted. "What moooo—" his eyes widened when he spotted the moon. "—oh dear!"

The missiles collied with the moon, blowing it up into smithereens. The ship's alarms blared as it shook from the blast.

"Thrusters, Fugitoid!" Natalie shouted. "Give it everything! Get this ship moving!"

Fugitoid pushed the ship as fast as it could go as the others turned the ship around, trying to fly it away from the flying moon chunks as quickly as possible.

"There's mini-moons all over the place!" Michelangelo shouted.

"You're all doing an outstanding job," Fugitoid said as they wove between the chunks of moon. "Leonardo, superb piloting!"

"Okay," Leonardo said as they started reaching the end of the broken moon. "I think we're out of the bad part."

"Uh, Leo? I wouldn't say that just yet." Eclipse warned.

A wall of Triceraton ships came into view and started firing at them.

"Raph, Casey, Kaz, man the cannons!" Henry ordered.

The three exchanged smirks, readying the cannons. Raphael looked up at the cannons, shooting at one of the ships. "Hello, hornhead... and goodbye!" The laser collided with the ship, destroying it.

"Laser cross-checking!" Casey cheered as he hit another ship. "Two nexton penalty! Can I get a what-what?"

After blowing up a few more ships, the fleet began to pull away just as something else was launched from their ship. "Great, now what did they launched at us now?" Derek asked.

The object pulled ahead, releasing a spherical object. The sphere slammed into the hull of the ship, breaking through it and lodging there. Air flooded out the gap and debris flew around the ship as everyone kept their heads down and not get hit. A thick piece of debris slammed into Fugitoid, decapitating him.

"NO!" April shouted. "FUGITOID!"

The robot's head landed in Donatello's lap, making his eyes widened. "PROFESSOR!"

"Got to seal the hole!" Briana slammed her hand down into the console. A small machine lowered from the ceiling and began applying a foam-like substance around the gap, sealing it completely.

"If that patch takes another hit, we're in trouble." Raphael said.

Donatello grabbed the robot's head. "And without the professor, we aren't gonna be able to do anything at all."

"There's got to be something we can do." Mara said.

"Uh, yeah! Keep the ship flying! We still got Triceratons trailing us!" Eclipse said.

"Mikey, divert power to thrusters! Donnie, Bri, see what you can do about Fugitoid!" Leonardo ordered.

Scott suddenly felt his ears pricked an odd sound as he looked over at the rock that was stuck in the wall. He blinked before standing up and slowly approaching the rock. He lifted a hand and tapped his fist against the surface where he could hear it echo on the inside.

"It's hollow?" Scott questioned to himself. But the moment those words left his lips, a large crack formed on the bottom of the rock where it bursts open as a green puss-like substance poured out of it. "What the heck?" He backed away from the substance.

Suddenly, the substance stood up as if it was alive and scurried all over the bridge, much to the shock of the crew. Raphael screamed as the ooze slithered over to him before slithering out of the room.

"What the heck was that!?" Raphael snapped.

"My ninja vibes are telling me we better follow them, dudes!" Michelangelo called back.

"He's right, that thing could be bad news." Kaz commented.

"Hurry back!" Leonardo called as Kaz, Casey, Mara, Zane, Natalie, Scott, Michelangelo, and April ran after the ooze.

👑👑👑

"YES!" DONATELLO POINTED to a nebula on the screen. "That nebula, it's made out of gas. We can hide the ship in the clouds!"

"Donnie, you really think it's gonna give us enough cover?" Leonardo asked as the ship dive down into the clouds. On the radar, the Triceraton ships flew right by.

"We're about to find out."

The peace didn't last long as they were one again under fire by the Triceratons.

"That's a no, Leo!" Eclipse said.

"We need to cloak!" Henry called, moving the ship to try and weave between the lasers shooting at them. "Can we do that?"

Another slam slammed into the ship, making the ship rock as the bridge's lights went out.

"Let's hope so!" Briana started typing on her console. "But we're gonna have to slow down to divert power!" She slid two fingers along the console, slowing the ship. The Triceraton ships pursing them swerved to avoid slamming into them. She pressed her hand against the console, successfully entering the ship into stealth mode. The Triceraton ships passed them.

"Oh, boy," Briana sighed. "I don't think we'll be able to cloak for more than, like, a few minutes."

"So, what do we do?" Derek asked.

Donatello stammered. "Um, okay, well, uh... we— we could... um..."

Leonardo kept going. "We got to have power, or those Raptors are gonna find us and take us down!"

"I DON'T KNOW!" Donatello shouted, slamming his fists against the console. He leaned back in his seat as he sighed. "This ship is awesomely complex. I'm— I'm not as smart as the professor, okay? I just build stuff out of junk and— kraang parts."

"Nobody's asking you to be smarter like the professor, Donnie," Henry said. "We're asking you to your own kind of smart."

Eclipse grabbed Fugitoid's head and walked over to him. "You and Bri were smart enough to build a robot like Metalhead, right? Who knows, maybe there's a way you two can rebuild Fugitoid."

Donatello exchanged a look with his youngest sister for a second before taking the robot's head. "Oh, I'm in way over my head here."

👑👑👑

"OKAY, I-I think this should do it... possibly... hopefully." Donatello said as he and Briana finished working on the robot's head. "Mmm."

"H-h-h-h-h-hello, fellas!" Fugitoid's voice glitched a bit as he powered up. "Phew, thank goodness my brain was in stasis. I feel so light-headed— literally."

"Yes!"

"Alright, Donnie!"

"Whoo-hoo!"

"Knew you could do it!"

"Professor, we're cloaked, but not for long." Briana told him.

"We need more power. We need you!" Donatello added quickly.

"Take me to the engine room," Fugitoid instructed. "I have spare parts in the storage closet. You two can put me back together. I know you can."

"You two got to move fast," Leonardo said. "Sooner or later, the Triceratons will find us."

👑👑👑

"EXCUSE ME, GUYS, we don't have much time!" Both Donatello and Briana quickly ran past the group as they ran into the engine room.

Michelangelo grabbed them, forcing them to come to a stop. "Um, I think you guys are gonna want to see this."

The two followed his gaze, only for their eyes to widened at the gremlins and cocoons.

"What in the space apples is that!?" One of the gremlins bit through some wires, snapping them in half. "Oh, no! They're destroying the engine feeds! We're gonna lose power!"

"Guys, we're about to lose our cloak!" Eclipse called over the inter-com. "You got to do something or we're gonna get blown into pieces!"

The ship's core suddenly shut off and the engine ship went dark. Michelangelo screamed, clinging to Donatello. The only thing that they were able to make out were the glowing green eyes of the gremlins as they advanced, making Michelangelo and Casey screamed.

"SPACE GREMLINS!"

The gremlins picked up speed, running toward them.

"Bring it on, you freaks!" Mara shouted, shooting the gremlins with her gun.

Briana took Fugitoid's head and grabbed her brother. "Donnie, come on!"

"Guys, take down those gremlins before they destroy the ship!" Donatello said before he and Briana ran forward while the others handled the gremlins.

👑👑👑

"IF WE USE too much power trying to get out of their way, we'll lose the cloak for sure," Henry said, watching the ship's statistics on the screen.

"Down to 3% power." Eclipse warned.

"Come on, Donnie, Bri, give us a miracle here." Raphael muttered.

👑👑👑

"WHAT'S GOING ON down there?" Leonardo demanded over the intercoms.

"We're battling space gremlins, brah!" Michelangelo shouted back, hitting a gremlin with his nunchucks and exploding it into ooze. Mara, Natalie, and Zane were using their guns to shoot at the gremlins, Kaz was using his powers against them, Casey was using his photon pucks, and Scott was using his claws and teeth. "Aah!" He screamed as another gremlin jumped onto his shell. "We'll get back to you!"

"Space what?" Derek questioned.

"Agh! Get them off!" Casey shouted, a few gremlins clinging to him. Zane used his gun and shot the gremlins off of him. "Thanks, Zaney!"

"Look out!" Casey ducked and Zane shot another gremlin.

Natalie used her gun and shot one of the gremlins that leapt at her, the laser knocking it over the ledge. "Whatever you guys are doing, do it faster!"

Michelangelo grabbed the gremlin that had been clinging to him and pulled it off, throwing it against the ship's core and exploding it into ooze. "Phew! I think that was the last one." The ship rocked as the alarm blared, electricity sparking from the core. "Okay, everything just got a lot worse!"

👑👑👑

THE SHIP'S CLOAK failed, making Derek panic. "Cloak's gone! We need those thrusters, now!"

Michelangelo, April, Kaz, Casey, Mara, Zane, Scott, and Natalie ran into the room, the group already inside trying to move the ship away from the Triceratons now shooting at them.

"We can't outrun them!" Raphael called. "Thrusters are down 3%!"

"Donnie, Bri, we need Fugitoid! Now!" Leonardo shouted over the intercom. "Guys!"

👑👑👑

"OKAY, DONNIE, GET a grip," Donatello muttered to himself. "This isn't transdimensional physics. It's robot-building! You got this."

"Donnie, take a deep breath," Briana said, a determined gleam in her eyes. "We got this! If we can make Metalhead, then we can definitely put Fugitoid back together."

👑👑👑

SUDDENLY, THE SPHERE exploded, throwing everyone that weren't at their stations across the room. Air rushed out of the hole in the ship, pulling them with it, and they all grabbed onto whatever they could to keep themselves in the ship.

Michelangelo wrapped his kusarigama chain around April, who lost grip on the railing. "Got you, April!"

Three Triceratons entered through the hole. "You two retrieve the Black Hole Generator," one ordered as the other two left the room. "I'll take care of the ninjas."

Leonardo pressed a button on his console, re-sealing the hole. Casey, Kaz, and Raphael took the chance to jump up and attack the Triceraton, hitting his helmet. However, their attacks didn't do anything as the Triceraton grabbed them and threw them against the walls.

All of the attacks that everyone delivered to the Triceraton were completely useless as not a single one of them managed to do any damage whatsoever. Then, Leonardo was pinned to the ground with the Triceraton putting his foot on his plastron, aiming its gun at him. But the Triceraton never pulled the trigger because a katana blade was thrown into the gun, causing it to spark while a boe staff knocked the gun out of the dinosaur's hands.

At the entrance, both Briana and Donatello stood there while looking bored. But then, the two of them smirked when robotic hands shot out and grabbed the railing. Fugitoid flipped down in front of the Triceraton, his head opening up and shooting a laser at the dinosaur, vaporizing it.

Fugitoid's head reassembled and he waved to everyone. "Hello, everyone! Did you miss me?"

"The black hole generator!" Mara cut in quickly. "We got to stop them!"

Leonardo jumped back into his station. "You guys get the black hole generator," he said. "I'll pilot the ship."

Everyone ran through the ship to retrieve the pieces. As they descended down the stairs, there was an explosion not too far off and it knocked them down to the ground as smoke billowed in.

"We're too late! They got the pieces, Leo!" Eclipse said.

"Fugitoid, the Tri-Fleet is moving in to finish us off!" Scott said over the comms.

"Our destruction would be a big, tremendous bummer," the robot responded. "We must escape! I will use my fusion core reactor to give our engines the power they need, but it may fry the ship in the process."

"I don't think we have a choice!" Zane responded from the engine room.

"Clear of all planetary systems... prepare for acceleration!" The ship jolted as it jumped forward.

Everyone returned to the bridge, regrouping after the attack.

"Finally... looks like we're safe," Raphael sighed. "Ship's barely functioning."

"We're gonna have to find a service station and make repairs," Henry added.

Donatello fell to his hands and knees, slamming his fist into the floor. "Ugh, all that, for nothing." He sat up, putting his face in his hands. "I failed!"

"Donatello, you should be very proud of yourself," Fugitoid began with a beep as Donatello got back to his feet. "You and Briana used some of my spare parts in ways I would never have thought of. I think I'm built even better than before!" He hugged the scientist. "And between you and me, I believe it would only take you 2,000 years to master transdimensional physics."

"Oh, great," Donatello responded. "Well, I guess I'll get started on it right away!"

"Come on, guys," Henry said. "We're not out of this yet. We still have to find that last piece."

"And then, take back the other pieces and make those Dino-freaks paid big time." Derek added.

"Goongala!"

"You didn't think we were gonna give up after this, did you?"
