Yoshi feels that his world is turning upside down and he has to stabilize himself so as not to fall, he knows well that it is the spirit of Teng Shen that is tied to the tree and that it must be her that the enemy of his children is seeing, the girl who impressed with the resemblance to his late wife, the girl who threatened to betray his position to the most dangerous man in the city, a young girl trained to be lethal and who attacked him without hesitation... she could be, with all too certainty, the daughter that I thought was lost in the fire. His chest tightened and his breathing was labored, a thousand things ran through his mind, the realization that an important part of his past was in front of him, everything he ever believed was wrong and that was telling him. flying head; His mind was spinning in a spiral and, even with all his knowledge, he could not completely calm down and it was not until the aura of his youngest son surrounded him that he was able to calm down. Obviously Michelangelo was going to feel his disturbance and was going to come to the rescue of his troubled mind. Yoshi took a deep breath and looked at the freckled young man with gratitude. He extended his free hand, which the adult took without hesitation. Great was his surprise when he could see his beloved Tang Shen smiling at him in front of him.

— Tang... — the old man murmurs and directs his gaze to the girl who was with them — she is...

—That's right — the woman responds, taking her daughter's free hand — she survived and has finally returned to us — the Asian woman's beautiful smile warms the teacher's heart and he looks at the girl with eyes full of tears. The girl looks back at him, alternating between them, and puts her free hand to her mouth, shaking her head.

— It's not possible — he exclaims — father would not have lied to me like that — the hesitation in his voice is like a dagger that is buried in the rat man's chest — he would have no reason to lie to me like that — the couple look at each other worried and the woman takes her daughter's hand in hers firmly.

"I'm sorry that you had to grow up far from your real family, my daughter," he tells her with deep regret. "It was Saki who ended my life and took you away, making your father believe that he had lost us both in the fire." The girl rests for a moment on the tallest mutant and he sighs before smiling at her - now the gods have helped you come home, with us - the beautiful woman looks hopefully at the girl who still looks in disbelief at the others around her. around — with your father and your brothers...

Karai, overwhelmed as she felt, reacts abruptly to the words spoken by her mother's spirit by releasing the hand that she was holding with more force than necessary.

"These kame have no relation to me," he blurts out loud, looking with contempt at the little freckled man who kept his eyes closed in deep concentration. "They are an aberration," he adds, and Hamato Yoshi's heart breaks into pieces. Tang Shen just sighs and looks at her daughter sadly.

— Miwa, my daughter — he says softly — destiny and the gods have placed these incredible creatures in our lives, they cannot be wrong — the girl maintains her closed and sullen expression. Yoshi feels torn between the happiness of having recovered her daughter and the sadness that the girl does not accept the rest of her family. He knows that it is normal, it is not easy for her and everything has happened very quickly so he hopes that in the future Miwa will be able to accept his boys and him, since she would also fit into the category of aberration due to her mutation — I know that right now you feel overwhelmed by all this - Tang Shen takes his daughter's hand again and his face shows the determination he feels to make her understand - everything you believed has changed and things will get difficult from now on , we need you to be with us, we need to face the danger all together and... —suddenly the image of the woman begins to flash, the same atmosphere seems to crack around her and a soft moan makes the three turn their heads to look. to the freckled turtle whose face shows tiredness and pain. Yoshi places a paw on the shoulder of the youngest of his family, but withdraws it immediately when he feels an electric shock run through his limb when he was in contact with the little one's scales; He looks worriedly at his wife and she looks back at him with the same concern.

Raphael, who the entire time was dividing his attention between his brother in purple attending to the elders and his younger brother in the middle of what seemed like a tremendous revelation, paced from one side to the other, containing the urge to scream for explanations. Not only did he have to wait to start searching for Leonardo, but he also, somehow, had to endure having Karai, of all possible enemies, there in the lair.

And that wasn't the worst thing, apparently the girl was the supposedly deceased daughter of her teacher and that made things very complicated. Not to mention whatever Mikey was doing at that moment since the three of them seemed to be in a trance and hadn't moved since they reached the foot of the tree.

He took deep breaths several times, opening and closing his hands to relax, the worry for all of them was eating him up inside and he felt like he was soon going to explode inside his chest, something hot was spinning in the middle of his plastron so violently that he had to put a hand to his chest. chest to know if his heart was coming out or not.

—Raph? — Donatello's voice caught him off guard and he looked at his immediate younger brother with wide eyes — uh... I'm sorry to interrupt your state of shock, but I need help moving the old Lion to the laboratory — he says with the usual serious tone that always arises when he is in his role as a doctor - he is too heavy to lift alone - the young ninja in red was going to complain and demand that Von Ryan be the one to take care of his brother when he noticed that he was carrying Angelo in his arms, surely to take it to the laboratory. At another time he would have made some comment regarding the marked favoritism that the older scientist showed for his younger brother but his own concern for Mikey prevented it, he had a very bad feeling.

He hated being right, in a moment when he stared at his younger brother he could notice the grimace of pain that disfigured his always relaxed features. Raphael growled internally, he was right, something bad was going to happen, something bad always happened and now they would have to face the consequences of the cosmic level disaster that was surely brewing.

Damn lucky turtles, always true to their form.

With strong steps he approached Mikey, he would get him out of this ridiculous trance, they would kick Karai out of the den and then they would go look for Leo; Whatever came next they would sort it out together. For now he needed to have all of his siblings in sight and, preferably, aware.

It only took putting a hand on Mikey's shoulder for everything to explode. Raphael felt a huge wave of energy emerge from between his little brother's scales that expanded like a huge shock wave that devastated everyone in the dojo. so painfully familiar with what happened to the older Mikey that the one in red could only groan tiredly... until a very clear image of deep, dark and terrifying space materialized in front of his eyes, and a huge shadow that began to swallow him up. the faint light of the stars. A primordial fear formed in the chest of the Sai warrior, something primitive that shook him to the core and he wanted to hide, flee, disappear because what came from the bottom of the universe would come to earth looking for someone who was not there. and I would be very angry about it. Very angry.

He began to hear a murmur next to him, a familiar voice whispering words that he couldn't understand why his mind was far away, trapped in instinctive fear, but something warm in his chest began to swirl, helping him come to his senses and understand what it was. what I heard. Mikey, it was Mikey, his little brother was whispering words that at first he didn't understand, but, after a few seconds, they made his blood run cold.

"There are many of them, they come from space, you're not going to find them here, they're furious..." he muttered repeatedly and Raphael turned pale, Mikey had seen the same thing as him and that had him very upset. He carefully touched the child's shoulder again, softly calling him by his name a couple of times before his freckled face turned to look at him with wide eyes.

"You're okay, little brother, you're safe, at home," he told him and he could see the relief flood the younger man's body before falling to his knees on the floor. The warrior crouched down next to him and was hugged tightly by a sobbing orange ninja; Raph decided not to say anything else and just caressed his brother's shell, rubbing circles trying to relax it. She looked at the others in the room, Splinter was helping Karai to her feet, but ignored the concern, her father was more than capable of defending himself from the girl if she became hostile, although, since the woman's legs They could barely hold her up, she doubted that was the case. Donatello and Von Ryan were checking on the other two older mutants who were still unconscious, and from the posture of his genius brother, he didn't seem to be in a bad condition. Raphael breathed a deep sigh of relief, there was no major damage to his family - Donnie - he caught the attention of his brother in purple - you need to check Mikey - he says and next to him his little brother begins to protest that he is fine and it is not necessary - then we will look for Leo, something very bad is about to happen and we all have to be together - Michelangelo gives him a questioning look and Raph nods, letting him understand that he also saw them - we will talk later, when our leader is home.

Both young men stand up and address the other turtles, moments later they are joined by Yoshi and the kunoichi who seemed suspicious.

— My children — says the teacher without being able to hide the emotion in his voice — I know it is not the best time, but I would like to introduce you to Miwa — the sensei cannot hide the tone of pride that escapes him — my daughter, your sister — The reaction of the three young people is different, while Mikey smiles widely and directs his light blue eyes at the girl with emotion. Donatello remains discreetly serious and Raphael does not hide his distrust. Splinter sighs before continuing - she has something to tell us - he looks at her daughter encouraging her to speak.

— Don't think I'm totally convinced of this, but — she looks at the rat man who is supposed to be her father and he nods — I'll give you the benefit of the doubt until I can verify it personally — Raphael looks at her with pursed lips and a defensive posture, of course, he doesn't completely trust her either and that's fine with the girl, she can understand the feeling - as a sign of goodwill I will give you information - the three youngest turtles tense at his words while Von Ryan looks up of his fallen brothers paying attention for the first time — they called me a few minutes ago to inform me that they had captured one of the turtles although they refused to tell me which one, but if I had to guess I would say it was Leonardo — he adds.

Raphael stands in front of the girl, facing her.

—Did they tell you where they have it? —She asks sharply.

— Yes, I'll take you there — the young woman responds without flinching at the ninja in red.

- What happened here? — the redhead's voice surprised everyone in the room. April did not fully understand Casey when he tried to explain to her what was happening with her extended family and she preferred to leave aside what she was doing to run to the sewers; She knew that things were never normal, but, given the level of nerves with which the black-haired man told her, or tried to tell her, what happened would not be a normal level disaster for them. She never expected to find Karai, of all people, there — What is she doing here? "She," she adds, taking the tessen out of her pocket where she always kept it to defend her friends if necessary. It was Splinter who approached her to explain, in a few words, her situation; The redhead just blinked in confusion before understanding everything and was speechless for a few moments - this exceeds my level of weirdness - she murmurs while putting away her weapon - I want it to be clear that I don't trust you - she says to the girl - but out of respect for the Master, I will accept your presence - he finishes saying, turning towards Donatello and the brothers of the future, from the little that he understood from his friend, what caught his attention the most was that, apparently, another of Angelo's brothers appeared and ate him away. curiosity.

— O'Neill — the older purple one greeted her — Von Ryan — she responded with an arrogant smile and Donnie rolled his eyes, the redhead and the scientist from the future took the habit of calling each other that after the older mutant told the student that she would only call her best friend April and no one else deserved that name and she counterattacked by saying that the only one who deserved the name Donatello was her best friend turtle. Her personalities simply clashed and the poor Bo user was left in the middle of her war of glances and grunts. She even preferred Casey's company and that was saying a lot - I see that your Leonardo appeared, congratulations - the girl stares at the blue mutant, surprised by his size, even though Von Ryan was also very tall, his arms and legs were not as thick as Leonardo's, perhaps it is because Leo went to the front while Donatello used his knowledge more in the war. Who knows, then I would have time to get to know them better.

— Yes, but don't get too attached, as soon as he wakes up I'll kill him, he's a fool and he doesn't deserve to live — the older one growls and Donnie lets out a snort — although that will be after we go for your brother — despite his words he leaves carefully placing Nardo's head on the floor before standing up - well, we have three less and O'Neill will stay to take care of the fainted ones and little Angie - the freckled man's older brothers just sigh, of course their little brother would win the day. favor of the mad scientist. April was going to complain, but the oldest followed quickly — Donatello, Raphael and Casey are coming with me, the new one will guide us — Karai looks at him offended, but Tello ignores her — Rojo, you lead — she types some things on her wristband — Don, you drive — He begins to leave the dojo without giving a second glance to the others who gape at him before following him.

Thanks to the kunoichi's instructions, they found the place where Leonardo was supposedly imprisoned. Raphael takes a deep breath before looking at his companions.

—Well, this is what we will do, Donnie and Casey, check if they have a surveillance system and neutralize it — the two young men nod — Von Ryan, you and I will enter as soon as Donnie says it is safe, we will not attack unless they discover us , but let's try to get Leo out of there in the most discreet way possible - the older man rolls his eyes and turns off his wristband, Raph could only think that the adult had a massacre prepared in mind and is grateful that he obeyed him - Karai, you You guide us — the black-haired woman raises her shoulders indifferently but obeys the order.

They take shelter in a nearby building from where they can perfectly see the place they are going to, an old and apparently abandoned brick construction. An old prison, Karai informs them, they got it cheap because it is said to be haunted. Better for them and their plans.

Donnie and Casey go in search of security systems while the other three stay in the shadows waiting for the report, Raph is feeling uneasy, he is leading two people who are not his family, in a way, on a mission to rescue his older brother who was somehow taken prisoner. He couldn't fail this mission, he couldn't make mistakes, it all depended on him. He rubs his eyes hard and clenches his fists nonstop until he feels a metal hand land on his shoulder and pat him twice. Von Ryan.

—Our Raphael felt doubts about his leadership several times —he tells him without looking at him—we never realized how difficult it was for him to be the eldest and the leader until things got really hard. He had lost confidence in himself, but we never lost faith in him so I guess your family also trusts you and I am willing to try, you can't be worse than Leo — the metal hand withdrew, returning to its place in the older man's metallic shell, Raphael snorted, but felt that the older man's words helped allay his fears. Of course he could be a good leader.

— We are ready — Donatello's voice through the communicator put everyone on alert — we can enter.

"Well, let's go, quickly and accurately, without lethal force... unless it's necessary," the one in red announced before beginning to advance towards the construction without leaving the shadows, behind him he could feel both the kunoichi and to the purple elder being as stealthy as him. He smirked at the thought of how he was going to blame Leo for leading a rescue mission to perfection.

Before going up to the roof, they met with Casey and Dee who were waiting for them on the darkest side of the building. Without saying a word, they prepared to throw their hooks at the half-destroyed fire escape that would serve them to climb and enter from above, the easiest way. sure according to the girl...

A loud roar froze everyone in place, noises of destruction, screams and alarms began to fill the environment, the floor under their feet shook strongly and the walls began to crack. Raph looked at the walls with fear, they could try to enter, but it seemed unstable and would be a huge risk for everyone, so he ordered them to retreat, moving away from the walls was the safest option. Von Ryan seconded his words with a report on structural instability.

"Leo is still in there," his younger brother reminded him with a trembling voice.

— I'm not going to risk anyone by going in to look for him — he responds, trying to seem more confident than he really felt — I'll go alone and get him out, I promise — Donnie clings to his arm when a new tremor shakes them all and the The cracks are getting bigger, it's clear that the building won't last much longer and will fall... on top of Leo if they don't take him out right now.

Freeing himself from Donnie's grip, Raphael takes his hook and looks for a place to climb, every second counts and he can't waste any more time.

— Von Ryan Where is it safest to climb?

— According to my calculations, the west wall is the most stable at the moment, if I were you I would hurry — the older man answers, typing on his wristband — eight minutes is my maximum estimate of structural stability — the one in red nods and begins to run towards the wall indicated, to hell with stealth.

He manages to hook himself onto a ledge of the wall and begins to climb as fast as he can, he is counting the seconds in his mind in the hope that the older Dee's calculations are wrong and he has a greater margin of time to find his brother. and get him out of there, he doesn't know if he has to fight or if Leo will be easy to find, not to mention whether he is injured or not.

The moment he sets foot on the roof the entire building shakes and begins to crack beneath him, Von Ryan's estimates were wrong, he had much less time
