## Summary

"Creatures from Dimension X" (Japanese title: Brain Drain Warning! Rescue the Star Cruiser) is Season 2's eleventh episode, and the seventeenth episode of the series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Mobians (1987)."

## Plot

The episode opens with the TMNM and their allies enjoying "Godzilla" on their new TV set. When Vector the Crocodile teases Charmy Bee about his secret crush on Coco Bandicoot, Charmy denies it. In Dimension X, Crash, Coco, and Crunch Bandicoot and Aku-Aku are riding around in their Star Cruiser on patrol for any activity when they spot the Jotundrome. They secretly sneak inside and with Aku-Aku's telepathic powers, eavesdropped on Loki and Uka-Uka's groups' conversation regarding them defeating our heroes by using a machine called the Mento-Neutralizer to do a brain drain on our heroes and sell them off to an exhibit in Dimension X as mindless zombies. Deciding to go warn our heroes, Aku-Aku's group use the hypersignal in their Star Cruiser to teleport to New York City. Unfortunately, Uka-Uka's group discover Aku-Aku's group doing this on the monitor and warns Loki's group and their henchmen about it. After hanging up with Uka-Uka's group, Loki's group decide to use Aku-Aku's Star Cruiser's hypersignal to open a portal to Dimension X. With Aku-Aku's group, they decide to attract our heroes' attention by flying around the Channel Six building. It works, but Loki's group discover this from watching Elise Oriana III's group's news report involving Aku-Aku's group's appearance and goes after Aku-Aku's group. With our heroes after they meet up with Christopher Aonuma's group, Kara Wallaroo, and Roxanne Pear, they meet up with Aku-Aku's group and just when they warn them about the brain drain plot, Loki's group and their henchmen appear and shoots down the Star Cruiser, capturing Crash, Coco, and Crunch. Aku-Aku meets up with our heroes and manages to warn them about the brain drain plot. In the sewer lair, our heroes resolve to rescue Crash, Coco, and Crunch.

After waiting a bit, Miles "Tails" Prower, Silver the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat, E-123 Omega, and Aku-Aku introduce our heroes to the Cheapskates and they use them to locate Crash, Coco, and Crunch by their extradimensional auras. At an abandoned amusement park, Crash, Coco, and Crunch are interrogated by Loki's group into telling them where their Star Cruiser is, since they lost it from the crash. After the henchmen fail to get the Star Cruiser since it was towed away to the dump, our heroes then arrive and manage to subdue Loki's group and their henchmen and rescue Crash, Coco, and Crunch, bringing the three to the sewers. Once in the clear in the sewers, our heroes locate the Star Cruiser at the Auto Impound Yard. But upon arrival, Loki's group and their henchmen arrived to get the Star Cruiser, but luckily, our heroes beat them to the Star Cruiser and flew off in it. Just when they decide to use the hypersignal to destroy the Mento-Neutralizer, our heroes discover the Star Cruiser's crystal is cracked from the crash earlier. Then Shadow the Hedgehog and Comet Tail remember seeing a particle accelerator once and led them to a slum-like downtown area where the particle accelerator is located inside a building. Once they find a cyclotron in a room, they proceed to work on repairing the crystal, causing it to overheat a bit.

With Loki's group and their henchmen, Uka-Uka's group contact them to reveal our heroes' location thanks to the Jotundrome's machinery sensing the cyclotron's power. Once they got there, Loki's group and their henchmen break into the building where the cyclotron in located. With our heroes, they succeed in repairing the crystal and just when they leave, Loki's group and their henchmen appear and ambush them, knocking them out with their stun laser guns. Luckily, Christopher's Mobiancom activates an SOS to Elise and Tai Kamiya's groups, causing Elise and Tai's groups to head off to the rescue. Back at the downtown area, Loki's group and their henchmen have tied up our unconscious heroes, except the unconscious Aku-Aku, and decide to just do the brain drain on the TMNM only. After Loki's group and their henchmen escape with the captive TMNM with the Star Cruiser, the rest of our heroes awaken to find themselves tied up. Luckily, Aku-Aku used his powers to free them and then meet up with Elise and Tai's groups. Then our heroes decide to go after Loki's group and their henchmen to rescue the TMNM while avoiding the Cyber Punks. At a junkyard, Loki's group and their henchmen place the TMNM in the Mento-Neutralizer to have their brain drain plot working while they figure out how to activate the Star Cruiser's hypersignal. But while Dr. Eggman gets trapped in the Star Cruiser's car alarm upon attempting to activate the hypersignal, the TMNM escape the Mento-Neutralizer and trick the Komodo Brothers into cutting them free with a knife-shooting gun. Once untied, the TMNM fight back while Loki's group and their henchmen free Eggman from the car alarm. Then our heroes meet up with the TMNM and lured the Cyber Punks in after Loki's group and their henchmen, who then got away. Afterwards on top of a building, our heroes bid Aku-Aku's group goodbye and Charmy, Cream the Rabbit, and Cheese the Chao gives Aku-Aku's group a peach-topped pizza and a peach juice-covered tiramisu for a bite to eat on the way home to Dimension X. Then after Aku-Aku's group return to Dimension X once the goodbyes are over, our heroes head back to their homes.
