## History

### Background

It all started after the events of the Second Kraang Invasion where the Kraang had taken over New York City, used the perfected Mutagen to terraformed it to be like Dimension X, and transformed most of the people in the city into Kraang Mutants. The Turtles along with their humans friends, April and Casey and Michelangelo's pet Ice Cream Kitty were forced to flee from the city in Kirby's old Party Wagon after being beaten by the Kraang as well as losing Master Splinter and Leonardo getting seriously injured by the Shredder. They all retreated to the old farmhouse April grew in miles away from the city where Leonardo was able to heal up and the Turtles, April, and Casey trained to prepare for when they had to go back to the city to fight the Kraang again. During that time, they discovered the old Kraang Stealth Ship from under the farmhouse and faced lots of scary new dangers like a mutant plan monster called the Creep, Big Foot, the Kraang's old infiltration experiment of Mrs. O'Neil called Mom Thing, Mutant Punk Frogs, dream invading beavers from another dimension called Dream Beavers, a mutant car called Speed Demon, and a mutant bird, fish, worm hybrid called the Chimera. But the Turtles, April, and Casey were able to get good things out of there time in the farmhouse like using the parts from the Kraang Stealth Ship to build a hi-tech car for Casey called the Turtle Racer, getting a very intelligent mutant chicken ally named Dr. Cluckingsworth M.D., and building a device using parts from the Kraang Stealth Ship to test April's psychic powers. Until finally, the Turtles went on a spiritual training trip in the forest where they entered the spirit realm and faced spiritual adversaries that resembled Rahzar, Fish Face, Tiger Claw, and Shredder using new armor and weapons the Turtles made from things they found int he forest. After the Turtles defeated the spiritual adversaries using their new Ninja skills, they were all finally ready to go back to New York City to free it from the Kraang. But during it, they also found out that Master Splinter was still alive but his mind had become detached from his body due to being beaten by Shredder. However, during the months that the Turtles, April, and Casey spent at the farmhouse, the Kraang prevented anyone from getting in or out of the city and took control the military and media through Kraang mind control devices to make it appear to be fine. But the Turtles, April, and Casey weren't fooled by it so they tricked out the Party Wagon to fight against the Kraang, drove back to the city, took the Turtle Racer with them, said goodbye to Dr. Cluckingsworth M.D., and drove back to New York City along with Ice Cream Kitty.

The Turtles, April, and Casey then planned that when they get into the city, they would find both Master Splinter and Karai then free the city from the Kraang. When they get to the gates of the city, they are stopped by soldiers of the Earth Protection Force who are under the control of the Kraang. But Casey drives the Party Wagon straight through the gates and away from the soldiers who were about to attack them using Kraang blasters. The Turtles, April, and Casey soon found the whole city deserted with Kraathatrogons roaming the streets while April sensed that most of the people in the city that were mutated by the Kraang were captured with only a few hundred people left who weren't captured and/or mutated. But they they all run soon ran into the Kraang who attacked them but the Turtles fought them off using the weapons they hooked onto the Party Wagon. They managed to get into the subway through a secret entrance where the found the Kraang patrolling the place with some Mousers. They were able to sneak past them and make it to the lair but the place empty with a Kraang Security Orb patrolling the place for the Kraang in case the Turtles ever came back. April then sensed Master Splinter close by but had now become more like a rat because of the fight with Shredder. The Turtles were able to calm him down but a Mouser spotted them and reported their presence to some Footbots who captured Master Splinter and took him to Shredder who sent him to Stockman's lab so Stockman-Fly could restore his mind so Shredder could destroy them. But the Turtles, April, and Casey were able to sneak into Shredder's lair trough the sewers, freed Splinter, and April was able to restore his mind. Then they all escape and set up a base of operations at a pizza restaurant to find Karai and take back the city from the Kraang with Donatello trying to make some Retro-Mutagen to change everyone back. Meanwhile, A Russian mob boss named Ivan Sternako and a master thief named Anton Zeck who ounce tried to steal Shredder's helmet the Kuro Kabuto, wanted to get out of the city because of the Kraang so they decided to capture Karai and use her as a bargaining chip so Shredder could help them get out. When they did, they tried to exchange her back to Shredder at the docks but the Turtles showed up, defeated them all, and helped Karai escaped who told them to meet her at something called comet. When the Turtles left, Shredder captured Zeck and Steranko, took them to Stockman-Fly's lab, and had them mutated into a warthog and rhino. Shredder then forced Zeck and Steranko to work for him and find Karai which they were able to when the Turtles found her at the Coney Comet roller coaster on Coney Island where Michelangelo named them Bebop and Rocksteady. The Turtles were able to beat them but they couldn't cure Karai with the Retro-Mutagen so she said goodbye to them and left out of fearing of being too dangerous of being around them. But was soon capture by Bebop and Rocksteady who gave her to Shredder.

### The Battle

One night, Michelangelo and Ice Cream Kitty were playing around with Donatello's chemicals where Michelangelo accidently creates a chemical that could turn Mutagen into Retro-Mutagen with just one little drop. Master Splinter then tells the Turtles that they have to find all off the people were transformed into Kraang mutants and change them back using the Super Retro-Mutagen Chemical. Which April reveals that that the Kraang mutants were all taken to Dimension X because she has had psychic visions of them working in Dimension X as slaves to the Kraang. So the Turtles plan to storm into TCRI and using the Kraang's dimensional portal to go to Dimension X and save all the people with Donatello suggesting that they use his latest inventions, the Turtle Blimp which he made out of an old water tower. But before they could use they notice the Kraang capturing two people and preparing to mutate them into Kraang mutants so they Turtles save them by fighting off the Kraang and one of there Security Orbs. But during the fight, the Turtles get help from some of their old mutant friends which consist of Leatherhead who had survived his fight with the Shredder, Dr. Rockwell whose intelligence had been restored when the Kraang tried to experiment on him and give him physic powers which he amplifies using some Kraang tech, Pigeon Pete who is now wearing a soldier's helmet, and Slash who had now found his own path. After the fight, the Turtles group up with Slash, Leatherhead, Dr. Rockwell, and Pigeon Pete where Slash reveals that he has formed his own team called the Mighty Mutanimals who have been fighting off the Kraang in the city with Slash as the leader, Leatherhead as the second-in-command, Dr. Rockwell as the brains, and Pigeon Pete as the team spy. However, Leonardo argues with Slash about his actions but the other Turtles and Mutanimals convince him to trust Slash then the Mutanimals take the Turtles to their benefactor unaware that they were all being tracked by a Kraang Security Orb. Turtles arrive at the Mutanimals base where they meet their benefactor, Kurtzman who reveals that when the Kraang invaded the city he tried to find the Turtles for help but they were gone. But then he found some of their mutant allies and made them into the Mighty Mutanimals to help fight against the Kraang. But now that the Turtles have returned, they and the Mutanimals can all stop the Kraang from taking over the rest of the Earth and take back the city together. Kurtzman then reveals that during the months that the Turtles have been gone, the Kraang have been building a powerful missile filled with enough Mutagen to mutate the entire Earth into another Dimension X. But this instead spark an argument between both teams on working together and who gets to stop the missile which is cut short when the Kraang arrive and attack the place. The Turtles and the Might Mutanimals fight the off but Kurtzman gets injured while trying to protect the Kraang intel he and the Mutanimals have collected on the missile. Which forces both teams to retreat and regroup at the Turtles' pizza restaurant base where Kurtzman gives the intel to the Turtles and the Mutanimals so they can stop the missile while Splinter, April, and Casey help care for his injuries. After looking at the intel, Donatello and Dr. Rockwell deduce that they could all either disable the missile's guiding system or hack it can send the missile somewhere where it can't do any harm. Leonardo suggests that they take out the missile by using stealth to disarm the missile from above by Slash suggests that they try a ground attack to stop the missile. When both Leonardo and Slash can't get along about whose idea to use, the Mighty Mutanimals leave to stop the missile on their own with Slash's plan while the Turtles try to take out the missile using Leonardo's plan on the Turtle Blimp. Meanwhile, the Kraang have just finished the missile and are getting ready to launch it after filling it up with Mutagen taken straight from two Kraathatrogons when Kraang Subprime arrives and voices out his angry that it took months for the Kraang to build it. When suddenly, the Mighty Mutanimals arrive and fight off the Kraang while the Turtles arrive in the Turtle Blimp and use the Mutanimals ground attack as a distraction so they can disarm the missile. Slash then fights off Kraang Subprime while Donatello tries to disarm the missile but soon the Turtles are attack by flying Kraang. The Mighty Mutanimals also try to stop Kraang Subprime from launching the missile but succeeds in doing it with the Turtles still on the missile. But the Turtles are able to fight off the flying Kraang while Donatello redirects the missile towards the heart of the sun. The Turtles then jump off the missile and use their Turtle Gliders to glide safely back to Earth and onto the Turtle Blimp just as the missile hits the sun and gets destroyed. After that the Turtles and the Mutanimals both defeat the Kraang and they all retreat while both the Turtles and the Mutanimals celebrate their victory and begin to respect each other. After that, both teams decide to work together to storm TCRI, go to Dimension X, and save the people of New York City.

The Turtles arrive at TCRI on the Turtle Blimp where they plan to have the Mutanimals break into TCRI on the ground and activate the dimensional portal so the Turtles can go to Dimension X, cure the people using the Super Retro-Mutagen, and send them all back to the city. After that, the Mutanimals will use the portal to send the Turtles back. The Mutanimals break into TCRI and fight off the Kraang then Dr. Rockwell activates the portal which the Turtles go through using the Turtle Blimp and equipped with air filtration units but Kraang Subprime follows them to try and stop them. While the Turtles try to find the missing humans, the Might Mutanimals try to keep the portal open to bring the Turtles back. But soon a Ms. Campbell Bot arrives with Biotroids and Irma Bots who fight off and outnumber the Mutanimals. Within Dimension X the Turtles get attacked by a Kraathatrogon that destroys the Turtle Blimp and causes the Turles to crash but Michelangelo is able to defeat the Kraathatrogon and scare it away. Soon the Turtles find the Kraang base where they are keeping the Kraang mutants to mine power cells for the Kraang. Back on Earth, the Mighty Mutanimals get defeated and captured by the Kraang who take away Dr. Rockwell psychic amplifying helmet, shut down the dimensional portal, trapping the Turtles in Dimension X. Meanwhile, the Turtles try to come up with a plan to turn the Kraang mutants back into humans and send all back to Earth but in order to do that they need a massive amount of Mutagen to turn into Retro-Mutagen using the Super Retro-Mutagen. Michelangelo decides that use one of Technodromes in Dimension X which uses a lot of Mutagen for power which Donatello suggests they get to one using a Kraang Stealth Ship. But just as they are about to get to one of them, Kraang Subprime arrives but Michelangelo beats him using Dimension X crystal. The Turtles then take over the Kraang Stealth Ship and Michelangelo flies it to one of the Technodrome but Kraang Subprime contacts the high Kraang base and orders the Kraang there to unleash a powerful weapon called the Dracodroid which is a two-headed dragon-like vehicle piloted by two Kraang. The Dracodroid attacks the Turtles in the Stealth Ship but the Turtles are able to avoid it and crash into a Technodrome. The Turtles then fight off the Kraang, take control of the Technodrome, and fly it toward the Kraang mutants while Donatello uses the Super Retro-Mutagen to transform all of the Mutagen on the Technodrome into Retro-Mutagen but it can't handle the Retro-Mutagen until Michalngelo reprograms the Technodrome to take it. But soon Kraang Subprime arrives and tries to get to the Turtles so Leonardo has Donatello try to call the Mutanimals to activate the dimensional portal but they don't respond. Back on Earth, Dr. Rockwell is able to using his psychic powers to move a Kraangdroid head to free the Mutanimals who defeat the Kraang and try to reactivate the portal. Which Dr. Rockwell does by transforming the portal into a dimensional coordinate locked beam. He then calls the Turtles about in Dimension X so Raphael uses the Technodrome's mutation ray to cure all of the Kraang mutants and turn them back into humans while Donatello teleports them all back to Earth using the dimensional portal. But soon Kraang Subprime arrives with some Kraang soldiers who attack the Turtles but Leonardo is able to hold them off while the rest of the Turtles use the Technodrome to cure the rest of the Kraang mutants and send them all back to Earth has humans. After they finish, Dr. Rockwell uses the portal to teleport the Turtles back to Earth before Kraang Subprime could get them while the Technodrome crashes into huge Dimension X rock and explodes. After the humans return, Dr. Rockwell uses the portal to send all the remaining Kraang in the city back to Dimension X ending their reign over the city and their plans to invade and terraform the rest of the Earth while the power in the city returns.

### Aftermath

When the Turtles return, they celebrate their victory with the Mighty Mutanimals while April reunites with Kirby. After that, life in the city returns to normal with the people cleaning up all of the crystals left behind by the Kraang while the Turtles, Slinter, and Ice Cream Kitty move back into their lair after cleaning it up. However, Casey was upset that he didn't take part in fight and decided to go fight crime throughout the city by himself but his actions led to the Turtles discovering that Shredder was planning to make a mind control serum. When he did, he had Stockman convert it into mutant Brain Worms which dug into people's minds and put them under Shredder's control. He tested them out on Slash, Dr. Rockwell, and Raphael but the rest of the Turtles and the Mighty Mutanimals were able to save them. Then later, Shredder was able to cure Karai and put her under his control using one of the Brain Worms which led to Karai to try and destroy the Turtles and Master Splinter. The Turtles tried to find a cure for the Brain Worm but had no luck but after Karai captured them with death traps which they later escaped from, Splinter was able to drive out the Brain Worm using a special Ninja technique called the healing hands which drove the Brain Worm out of Karai but disappeared soon afterwards from both the Turtles and Shredder. Th Turtles also believed that the Kraang were all gone but later found them in a secret Kraang base in the sewers then later at the Statue of Liberty where they planned on starting another invasion using lots of Technodromes. But the Turtles were able to defeat them with help from a delusional Triceraton named Sergeant Zog whose species was the arch enemies of the Kraang. However, after Zog was able to clear his head after getting back his gear that the Kraang stole form him, he was able to send out a beacon to signal the rest of the Triceraton Empire about the Kraang being one Earth which would lead to the Triceraton Invasion of 2012 which would lead to the destruction of the Kraang and their leaders, Kraang Prime and Kraang Subprime.
