Distant Memories - Part Trois

story by Jephael



4Kids TMNT Earth (Dimension E); New York City, NY - March 20TH, 2024

The Turtle Van materializes in Times Square, now driven by Donatello with Jeff at the passenger's seat, while Patrick and Jenny are in the back with Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Raphael. Still wet from their dip in the San Francisco Bay, the Turtles are all drying themselves off.

MICHAELANGELO: "So like, why the hurry, dude?"
RAPHAEL: "Yea, I'm still shivering from that cold swim!"
JEFF: "Sorry about that, but Clark never got the chance to give you the 411 on what's happening. Whoever or whatever pulled Wonder Woman and Vid Vicious to our world is also sending other characters to different Ninja Turtle dimensions!"
DONATELLO: "Yea, and I'm still having trouble getting a fix on any other dimensional rifts in this area."
LEONARDO: "Lets just make our way to O'Neil Tech. I'm sure our 4Kids counterparts here will be able to help us!"
PATRICK: "If they aren't in the middle of a fight with Hun and Purple Dragons."

Patrick points out to the view from the windshield where the 4Kids TMNT are in fact fighting Hun and his Purple Dragons.

JENNY: "Weren't the Dragons on our side last time we were here?"
RAPHAEL: "Cartoon logic... nobody ever keeps track of continuity, no matter how serious the characters are!"
DONATELLO: "Think we should get involved?"
MICHAELANGELO: (Twirls one of his nunchucks.) "I wouldn't mind helping our counterparts tangle with those geeks while we're here!"
LEONARDO: "Okay but remember, Turtles fight with honor!!!"

Donatello parks the van, while Jeff mutates into the form of Jephael before they head out with the other Turtles into the street to help the 4Kids Ninja Turtles.

4KIDS RAPH: "What the shell are you guys doing here?!"
RAPHAEL: "Nice to see you too!"

Raphael helps 4Kids Raphael take down a pair of identical twin Purple Dragons, while Michaelangelo helps 4Kids Mikey fight Two Ton.

4KIDS MIKEY: "Yo, long time no see!"
MICHAELANGELO: "For sure, dude. Glad to see your brain surgery went well!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Hey!"

Donatello assists his 4Kids counterpart in fending off a female Purple Dragon who looks strangely like a clone of 4Kids April.

4KIDS DON: "Thanks for the help! I take it you guys aren't just here to shoot the shit?"
DONATELLO: "Far from it. There's some multi-dimensional mayhem afoot. I'll fill you in once we've help you guys wrap things up with the Purple Dragons!"

4Kids Leonardo clashes his swords against Hun's massive arms, leaving barely a scratch.

4KIDS LEO: "Why did you do it, Hun? Why did you break your truce with us... again?!"
HUN: "What can I say? I get offered a job to take you freaks down, and all I see is dollar signs!"

Jephael jumps onto Hun's back and covers Hun's eyes.

JEPHAEL: "Somebody's a greedy little meat-head!"
HUN: "Ugh, get off of me, you twerp!"

Hun grabs Jephael by the shell and prepares to punch him in the face, when he looks to notice all of his minions are now beaten unconscious and all eight Ninja Turtles are now circling him.

LEONARDO: "Put our friend down nicely, and you won't get hurt!"
HUN: "Oh crud, not you stupid dopplegangers again! Can't you stay in your own lousy dimension?"

Hun throws Jephael at Raphael and 4Kids Michelangelo who land in a heap on the street. Jeff de-mutates back into human form as Michaelangelo and 4Kids Raphael help their respective counterparts up.

JEFF: "Thanks for breaking my fall, guys."
RAPHAEL: (Weakly.) "Yea, don't mention it."
4KIDS MIKEY: "Man, you'd think after all these years Hun would start losing steam!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Nah, that whackbag's probably been 'roiding up for decades now!"
HUN: "You dare imply that I take performance enhancements? Just for that, I'll-"

Hun's entire face is suddenly covered in a sticky white substance as two masked figures in very familiar blue and red tights show up out of nowhere and start covering Hun up from head to toe in their webbing.

MICHAELANGELO: "Whoa, Spider-Man!!!"
DONATELLO: "Spider-Men, more like it!"

Jeff and Patrick walk up to the two web-headed super heroes who promptly remove their masks revealing themselves to be the Sam Raimi film iteration played by Tobey Maguire and The Amazing Spider-Man played by Andrew Garfield.

PATRICK: "Figures they'd be the live action movie Peter Parkers!"
JEFF: "Yep, they just can't resist unmasking themselves."
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: "Atleast we're in our costumes... unlike whichever one if you is this world's Peter Parker!"
PATRICK: "Why do you think one of us is another Peter Parker?"
JEFF: "Yea, I don't know how long you've been watching, but I was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle a minute ago! Although being part Ninja Turtle and part Spidey at the same time would be pretty awesome!"

Amazing Spider-Man notices the eight Ninja Turtles.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: "Oh great, more talking reptiles!"
RAIMI SPIDER-MAN: "Whoever you guys are, would you be able to help us get back to our respective worlds?"
DONATELLO: "That depends on how exactly you two ended up here."
4KIDS LEO: "First thing's first. Lets get Hun and the Purple Dragon to jail and then we can all head over to O'Neil Tech."
PATRICK: "Sounds like a plan!"

About a half hour later, the group arrives at O'Neil Tech and are greeted by Mr. Mortu of the Utroms who materializes from a transmat beam.

MORTU: "Greeting, Turtles. I was hoping that I'd find you here... with yourselves?"
4KIDS DON: "It's kind of a long story. We've been sort of busy this evening dealing with what remains of the Purple Dragons, when our counterparts from a different dimension happened to show up."
MORTU: "Interesting. It appears we Utrom may have our own dopplegangers from another reality. I received an unsettling image of a strange looking creature who looks similar to my kind, but with much larger tentacles and very sharp teeth."
LEONARDO: "You don't suppose Krang is somehow back?"
JEFF: "Maybe not our Krang. It could be The Kraang, you know from the Nickelodeon CGI series?"
MICHAELANGELOL: "Whoa, I never even considered that notion before! Like what if they're the ones behind all of this?"
4KIDS RAPH: "Well, then take your ugly butts to that reality and leave us the shell alone! Oh, and take those two geeks in the spider themed leotards with you!"
RAPHAEL: "Well, excuse us for being such an inconvenience, ya jackass!"
4KIDS MIKEY: (Sighs.) "Yea, Raph. Don't start being a dick like always!"

4Kids Leonardo smacks 4Kids Michelangelo upside the head.

4KIDS MIKEY: "Ow!"
4KIDS LEO: "Watch your language, Mikey! Raphael, why don't you and I stay out here and keep watch, while Donatello helps our counterparts with whatever they've got to do"
4KIDS RAPH: "Eh, why not?"

4Kids Donatello leads, Mortu and the group from Dimension J through the building's main laboratory where he shows them his own trans-dimensional center that he has been working on.

4KIDS DON: "I've been trying to utilize some of the tech you've given me from your world and combined it with Utrom technology to create my own dimensional portal."
DONATELLO: "Wow, it sure looks a lot like the one I had in our old lair."
RAPHAEL: "Yea, except it's half the size Shredder and Krang's portal was in the Technodrome!"
MICHAELANGELOL: "Well, their pad was about 7 dozen times the size of ours!"

Jeff, Patrick, Jenny and the two Peter Parkers walk up to the dimensional portal.

JEFF: "Okay, so how do we get this thing started?"
JENNY: "Try the on button, Jeffrey!"
JEFF: "Oh ha ha."

4Kids Donatello helps Jeff activate the dimensional portal.

JEFF: "Hey, this thing's already getting a fix on the dimensional rift that brought you two here! Now if we can just get a lock on it and go back to the point you originally came from."

The screen revels the moment during Spider-Man: No Way Home where Dr. Strange casts the spell to make everybody in the MCU Earth forget Peter Parker.

PATRICK: "Dang, talk about spoilers!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Man that was such a good movie."
RAPHAEL: "Yea, so good it promted this scene here to get re-writt-"
DONATELLO: (Smacks Raphael on the head) "What did I tell you about breaking the fourth wall like that?!"
JEFF: "Looks like your enemies were all sent back to their respective moments in the past, but because you two exist in the relative present, you somehow got sucked into the dimensional warp that we're dealing with. It shouldn't be too hard to get you both sent home safe and sound."
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: "Take your time. We're in no hurry!"
RAIMI SPIDER-MAN: "Speak for yourself, pal!"

Jeff zeroes in on Raimi Spider-Man's world, about 15 seconds before the rift pulled him in. Amazing Spider-Man hugs his counterpart one last time before watching him jump through the portal. Jeff shifts the coordinates to Amazing Spider-Man's world.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: "It's been a blast. Thanks, guys!" (Jumps through the portal.)
LEONARDO: "Well, now that we've gotten those two back where they belong, we can get to work on-"

The portal generator suddenly starts to fizzle and crackle. Sparks of red energy burst throughout the room.

RAPHAEL: "Aw man, now what?!"
4KIDS DON: "Oh no. It-it can't be!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Can't be what, dude?"

A feminine voice with a shrill cackle echoes through the room as a strange red creature made of pure energy appears.

4KIDS DON: "Viral? But... but how? You were destroyed after-"
VIRAL: "Oh shut up, Donatello! For years I had to listen to you and Ms. 'O Neil prattle on with your pie-in-the-sky dreams of improving the world with your primitive technology, while I slowly rebuilt myself out of what few fragments of my core remained in your computer's mainframe! Now I can finally enact my vengeance on the lot of... wait, something's off. Why are there two Donatellos, and why do the rest of you look so different?"

4Kids Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael show up from another room.

4KIDS MIKEY: "For somebody who's been skulking around cyber space, you sure don't pay much attention to current events!"
VIRAL: (Chuckles.) "What is this, more clones... like the ones Sh'Okanabo made back in 2105?"
4KIDS LEO: "Clearly you've never heard of the multiverse! We can use this invention of Don's to summon any version of us here to help rid our world of evil scum like you, Viral!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Yea, so why don't you go crawl back into cyber space before I introduce ya to our far deadlier counterparts!"
VIRAL: "Better yet, why don't I take the lot of you on a little trip?"

Viral shoots a beam of energy into the dimensional portal generator, causing it to go haywire. A vortex opens right behind the 4Kids TMNT, along with Jenny who just happens to be standing near them.

JEFF: "Holy shit!!!"

Jeff tries to grab Jenny, but watches helplessly as she and the 4Kids TMNT are sucked through the warp. As it closes, a furry cartoon dog pops out in their place.

PATRICK: "Snoopy?"
JEFF: "Oh boy, this can't be good."
MICHAELANGELO: "What are you talking about, dude? We got us here a regular party animal!"

Michaelangelo walks up to Snoopy and tries to pet him, but ends up getting bit.

MICHAELANGELO: "Ouch!"
RAPHAEL: "I don't think Snoopy here is used to giant talking Turtles."
JEFF: "Then again, neither were my grandmothers."
LEONARDO: "Okay, you... weird computer lady, you'd better bring our friends back or else!"
VIRAL: (Laughs.) "Oh I'm quivering with fright. Now to send the rest of you somewhere really terrif -what the- AUUUGH!!!"

Another blast of temporal energy emits from the portal, which zaps Viral, causing her to spontaneously combust as two more beings emerge from the portal, Groundchuck and Dirtbag!

GROUNDCHUCK: "Whooo we!"
DIRTBAG: "What the heck happened to us?"
GROUNDCHUCK: "I dunno, sonny, but it sure feels good to be out of that deep sleep!"
RAPHAEL: "Oh great, now we have to deal with these two assholes!"
GROUNDCHUCK: "I should've known you greenhorns had something to do with whatever's going on. Now it's time for the last round up!"



Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Raphael fend off Groundchuck and Dirtbag, while Mortu helps Donatello and Jeff tend to the dimensional portal generator.

PATRICK: "So what's the plan, guys?"
MORTU: "It looks like the portal's mainframe is intact. Viral didn't cause any serious damage to it."
JEFF: "Are we able to track where Viral sent Jenny and the Turtles from this world?"
DONATELLO: "Yes, but it's going to take a little while to pinpoint. Lets just hope they didn't end up anywhere super dangerous."
MORTU: (Smirks.) "If there's one constant in the multiverse, it's that you Turtles are able to get yourselves out of just about anything!"


Mortu points to the other Turtles who've managed to subdue Groundchuck and Dirtbag.

DONATELLO: "Well, looks like we got ourselves a couple pit stops to make in our homeworld before we go to retrieve Jenny and our 4Kids selves!"
PATRICK: "What do you mean?"
JEFF: "A while back we decided to use a miniaturizing ray to shrink down Baxter Stockman and the Rat King, so we can just do the same with those two."
PATRICK: "Why don't you just kill them?"

Donatello, Jeff and Mortu look in shock at Patrick.

PATRICK: "Hey, I'd ask Batman the same thing."
