That very moment the 4Kids Ninja Turtles are being lead down to their original lair, now fully restored.

4KIDS DON: "Well guys, what do you think?"
4KIDS LEO: "Amazing! I can't believe you and Leatherhead were able to rebuild our old childhood lair!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Yea, you can barely see where it nearly caved in on us!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "How long did this take anyway?"
4KIDS DON: "Oh, about three years. But that's not all! Karai helped rebuild the Y'Lyntian outpost that once served as our second lair!"
4KIDS RAPH: "That's pretty funny considering she was the one who trashed it in the first place!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "You really need to let bygones be bygones, bro! Remember what Master Splinter used to say about-"
4KIDS RAPH: (Angrily.) "Splinter's gone, Mikey! He never even got to see either lair get restored!!!"

4Kids Leonardo places his hand gently on 4Kids Raphael's shoulder.

4KIDS LEO: "We all miss him, Raphael. It's okay to grieve!"
4KIDS RAPH: (Groans.) "What's the point of even rebuilding these places when you just know they're probably gonna get trashed again?!"
4KIDS DON: "I'm way ahead of you there! I had the walls of both structures lined with an industrial strength titanium alloy!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "That explains why these bricks look so shiny! So do we have to walk all the way to the other lair, or did you come up with a quicker method?"
4KIDS DON: "I considered the idea of using transmat transporters to zap back and forth, but then I realized the energy it emits could draw unwanted attention to the outside world! So instead I came up with a more thrilling way of going back and forth."

4Kids Donatello leads his brothers to what looks like a miniature soapbox version of the original Battle Shell.

4KIDS RAPH: "You gotta be kidding me!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Dude, we're not exactly Pre-School Mutant Ninja Turtles these days!"
4KIDS DON: "Well, I kind of rushed it with the design, but all four of us should be able to fit inside of it. It just might be a bit of a tight squeeze!"
4KIDS LEO: "You can say that again!"

Meanwhile, the Jephaelverse Turtles materialize in the middle of the aforementioned second lair.

MICHAELANGELO: "Whoa, dudes! Check it out!"
DONATELLO: "We're back in the 4Kids dimension!"
LEONARDO: "So um, where are our counterparts?"
RAPHAEL: "Knowing those meat-heads, they're probably out fighting the Purple Dragons or whatever."
DONATELLO: "Still, I feel a little rude just showing up unannounced!"
LEONARDO: "Well, once we explain what we're doing here, I'm sure they'll be willing to help!"
MICHAELANGELO: "For sure! Besides, if it was their Master Splinter who was in trouble, we'd be more than happy to help them!"

A loud crashing sound is heard from the laboratory.

LEONARDO: "What was that?"
RAPHAEL: "Only one way to find out, fearless leader!"

The Jephaelverse Turtles rush into the lab where they find their 4Kids counterparts struggling to get out of the now wrecked soapbox Battle Shell, which is tipped over on its side.

4KIDS DON: "That certainly didn't go the way I planned it!"
4KIDS RAPH: (Sarcastically.) "Really? I thought it went so well!!!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Hey guys, I think I might've had a concussion. I'm seeing... us!"
4KIDS LEO: "You're not hallucinating, Mikey! It's our Pennsylvania counterparts from Dimension J!"

The Jephaelverse Ninja Turtles pull the 4Kids Ninja Turtles out of the soapbox.

MICHAELANGELO: "Yea, sorry to drop in on you dudes like this."
4KIDS RAPH: "Actually, that was pretty good timing on your part. For a moment there I thought we would be crammed in this hunk of junk like spoiled sardines!"
RAPHAEL: "Listen, we've got a big problem on our hands!"
DONATELLO: "It's Shredder... that is our Shredder- well, the ghost of him. He's possessed our Master Splinter and he escaped here to your dimension!"
LEONARDO: "On our way to track him down, we ran into our old pal the Gyoji from the Battle Nexus, who sent us here."
4KIDS MIKEY: "That creepy inter-dimensional imp?! What's he been up to?"
RAPHAEL: "Apparently he's the wet nurse for our old Mirage counterparts!"



4KIDS LEO: "Okay, why don't we table that conversation and get to helping you guys rescue your Splinter?"
LEONARDO: "I was hoping you'd say that! By the way, how's your Master Splinter these days?"
4KIDS MIKEY: "He uh... passed away a couple years ago."
DONATELLO: "Oh man, we're terribly sorry to hear that!"
4KIDS DON: "It's okay. He went peacefully in his sleep. We buried him at Casey's farmhouse."

Several minutes later, all eight Ninja Turtles are in the old Tortuga Bros. moving van.

4KIDS MIKEY: "I can't believe this old rig still works!"
4KIDS DON: "Well, Casey has been a big help with keeping this van in good shape. I can't say the same for the garbage truck!"
4KIDS LEO: "Yea. that was a really weird phase you went through."
MICHAELANGELO: "So dudes, how do we find Splinter, and more importantly, how do we extract Shredder's spirit from him?"
RAPHAEL: "It's easy. We just need am old priest and a young priest!"
4KIDS RAPH: (Bursts out laughing.) "I gotta admit, that was funny!"
4KIDS MIKEY: (Chuckles.) "Yea! Hey, what was it you were saying about our source dimension selves?"
MICHAELANGELO: "Lets just say our Eastman and Laird counterparts have definitely seen better days!"

4Kids Donatello's shell cell starts to ring.

4KIDS DON: "It's April. Here, I'll put it on loudspeaker!"
4KIDS LEO: "Hey April, how are you doing?"
4KIDS APRIL: "I'm fine, Leo! But I've got some rather unsettling news to share in regards to Don's secret fortress."
4KIDS RAPH: "Secret fortress?"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Bro, you're not becoming a super villain are you?"
4KIDS DON: (Nervously.) "Of course not. But um, I have been working with Agent Bishop on certain projects, like my prototype for the Hovershell that Cody Jones builds around 2105!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Why would you work with Agent Bishop?"
4KIDS DON: "Well, I was kind of considering divulging the events that lead to him founding the Pan Galactic Alliance."
4KIDS LEO: (Horrified.) "You didn't!"
4KIDS DON: "No, no! Of course not! It's just..." (Sighs.) "I'll explain later. We need to get to Central Park in a hurry!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Let me guess, you fixed up our third lair as well!"
4KIDS DON: "Not exactly."

4Kids Don leads his brothers and the Jephaelverse Ninja Turtles into the old reservoir station that they once called home... however it now looks exactly as it did before they moved in.

MICHAELANGELO: "Holy guacamole!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Dude, why would you revert this place back to its original state?"
4KIDS DON: "Well, this isn't the secret fortress April was referring to. It's mostly used for storage."
RAPHAEL: "So then where pray-tell is this secret fortress of yours?"
4KIDS DON: (Hangs his head in shape.) "Listen, I really don't want you guys to judge me, but this fortress... is actually a scale model of your Shredder and Krang's original Technodrome!"
LEONARDO + 4KIDS LEO: "What?!"
RAPHAEL + 4KIDS RAPH: "No way!!!"
MICHAELANGELO + 4KIDS MIKEY: "Come on, dude!!!"
DONATELLO: (Sheepishly.) "I have a bit of a confession to make. I sort of helped with the blueprints."
4KIDS RAPH: (Groans.) "Way to go, smart-asses!"
RAPHAEL: (Folds arms.) "My sentiments exactly."
4KIDS MIKEY: "Did you eggheads learn nothing from... basically any sci-fi movie where some crazed genius goes ahead and builds something with no disregard for the impending chaos that follows?!"
4KIDS DON: "Well, I certainly wasn't expecting something like this to happen, otherwise I would've scrapped the entire project."
4KIDS LEO: "Look, there's no point in placing blame here. Donatello, I'm sure you meant well in recreating our counterparts' sworn enemies' vessel of destruction, but now it's in the very hands of that sworn enemy!"
DONATELLO: "Well, technically it's in the hands of our sensei who's been possessed by our sworn enemy!"
LEONARDO: "So where do we find this new Technodrome?"
4KIDS DON: "It's stowed at the bottom of the Hudson River, but it can be activated remotely using... oh no!"
4KIDS RAPH: "What?"
4KIDS DON: "He was here alright!"
RAPHAEL: "Who was here?"
4KIDS DON: "Shredder! See that open cabinet with nothing in it? That's where I stashed the remote control device, as well as the notes on the Technodrome's operating systems."
4KIDS MIKEY: "Wow, you're really losing your touch."
DONATELLO: "Shredder must have been in control of Master Splinter's body whenever we were either asleep or off on some adventure! He's probably seen all of my communication logs with Don here!"
LEONARDO: "Which would explain how he knew of this Technodrome!"
RAPHAEL: "Well, what're we just standing around here for? Lets go stop him!"

The Turtles run back to the moving van and head for the river front.

MICHAELANGELO: "So exactly how big is this new Technodrome?"
4KIDS DON: "Oh, about twice the size of Casey's farmhouse."
4KIDS MIKEY: "Well, that doesn't sound too bad. You should've told us that sooner! It would've saved us a whole lot of anxiety!"
4KIDS RAPH "Mikey, sometimes you are the source of our anxiety!"
4KIDS LEO: "Cool it, Raphael! We've got to come up with a plan!"
DONATELLO: "I'm actually way ahead of you there!"

Jephaelverse Earth (Dimension J); Harleysville, Pa - July 4TH, 2027

Back in Pennsylvania, Jeff and April are anxiously awaiting to hear back from the Turtles, while, Mona Lisa is keeping herself busy by cleaning up the basement. Bebop and Rocksteady, who happen to have stopped by for a visit are taking a nap at the control panel of the dimensional portal.

JEFF: "Uh guys, I know riding bike all the way here from North Wales can be a work out, but that's not the best place to rest!"
BEBOP: (Yawns.) "Sorry, Jeffrey. We wus hoping we could watch Cartoon Network on this big screen though."
APRIL: "They have a nice big screen TV you can watch upstairs in the living room!"
ROCKSTEADY: "Oh goody!"

The two mutants rush upstairs in excitement just as a call comes in.

JEFF: "Oh good! They're finally getting back to us!"
APRIL: "It's about time!"
DONATELLO: "Jeff, we're with our 4Kids counterparts in their dimension, and we're about to infiltrate a four-story scale model replica of the Technodrome."
APRIL: "When did Shredder have time to make another mini-Technodrome?"
DONATELLO: "It isn't his. Mu counterpart made it... for some reason."
JEFF: "Well, that pans out! So what's your plan here?"
DONATELLO: "As soon as we've subdued Shredder, I want you to open a portal big enough to transport this Technodrome to our backyard!"
JEFF: "Got it!"
APRIL: "What's Donatello going to do with this mini-Technodrome here?"
JEFF: "I think I know what he has in mind! A while back my second cousins gave us the deed to their grandparents' farm, and while most of the land has been preserved as is, Don and I went to the liberty of converting a large portion of the area into an underground bunker that we're slowly turning into an updated replica of their old sewer lair!"
APRIL: "Wow, that's super convenient!"
JEFF: "Right, but it's still a work in progress, and if they can get this Technodrome to the right spot, we can sink it completely into the ground!"

Jeff activates the portal's screen where he and April watch as their Turtles and the 4Kids Turtles manage to break into the Technodrome as it emerges from the depths of the Hudson River.

4Kids TMNT Earth (Dimension E); New York City, NY - July 4TH, 2027

SHREDDER: "What in blazes?!"
LEONARDO: "It's over, Shredder! Give it up!!!"
RAPHAEL: "Yea, and get your creepy spectral self out of our sensei!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Yea, and take off that metal!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Yea, seeing any version of Master Splinter decked out in Shredder's gear just feels wrong!"
4KIDS RAPH: "For once I agree with you!"
4KIDS LEO: "Don, we'll take care of Shredder here, while you and your counterpart do your thing!"
SHREDDER: "I won't let any of you blasted reptiles stop me from having my revenge!!!"

Shredder lashes out in anger as he lunges towards the six Turtles, while Donatello and 4Kids Donatello go over to the controls.

4KIDS DON: "Good, he hasn't activated the compound's weaponry. Time to dispose of it!"
DONATELLO: "Jeff, activate the portal!"

Jephaelverse Earth (Dimension J); Harleysville, Pa - July 4TH, 2027

Jeff activates the portal, which immediately pulls the Technodrome through, bringing it to the backyard. That moment Raphael, Michaelangelo, 4Kids Raphael and 4Kids Michelangelo have Shredder pinned down.

SHREDDER: "You wretched reptiles! Why won't you just let me conquer the universe?!"
RAPHAEL: "Several reasons, which we won't get into!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Yea, now be a cooperative ghost and quit hijacking Splinter already!!!"
SHREDDER: "Very well."

Shredder stares 4Kids Raphael directly in the eyes, putting him into a hypnotic trance as Shredder's spirit vacates Splinter's body and enters 4Kids Raphael's.

4KIDS MIKEY: "Uh oh."
MICHAELANGELO: "Major bummer!"
SPLINTER: (Groans.) "Oh, my head. Where.... where am I? Why am I wearing Shredder's armor?"
LEONARDO: "Master Splinter, you're you again!!!"
4KIDS LEO: "Yes, but now Shredder's inhabiting Raph!"

Shredder runs over to the Technodrome's control panel and tackles 4Kids Donatello.

4KIDS DON: "Raph, what the shell?!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Shredder's body-jumped into him, bro!"
DONATELLO: "Oh great!"
SHREDDER: "I will make trophies out of whatever remains of you all once I'm finished with you!!!"
4KIDS DON: "Somebody get this maniac off of me!!!"

Leonardo and 4Kids Leo manage to pull Shredder away from 4Kids Donatello, though in doing so, Shredder makes direct eye contact with Leonardo and transfers into him.

4KIDS RAPH: "Oh man, I feel weird!"
4KIDS LEO: "Oh good, you're back to normal."

4Kids Michelangelo attempts to make a snide remark about his hot-headed brother, but gets punched in the jaw by Shredder.

4KIDS MIKEY: "Ow! Man, this is getting repetitive!"
RAPHAEL: "Oh great, Shredder's getting away... in Leonardo's body!!!"
DONATELLO: "Jeff, activate the force dome!"

Back in the basement, Jeff pushes an emergency button on the wall in the basement, which prompts a large force dome to cover the entire property, including the extended backyard, which Donatello drives the Technodrome towards.

DONATELLO: (Sigh.) "This is going to set back my plans to rebuild the lair by atleast two years... but I don't have a choice! Everybody out of the Technodrome now!"

Michaelangelo helps Splinter to his feet as he and the rest of the Turtles evacuate. Soon as they are back near the house, the ground beneath the Technodrome crumbles and the entire fortress immediately sinks.

4KIDS LEO: "Well, that's one big problem taken care of!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Yea, now we just have to stop Mr. Body Snatcher!"
DONATELLO: "Look, there he goes! He's heading to the front of the house!"
RAPHAEL: "Not if I can help it!!!"

Raphael chases after Shredder who barges in through the front door, startling Bebop and Rocksteady who are sitting on the floor of the living room watching Teen Titans Go.

BEBOP: "Uh, hi der!"
ROCKSTEADY: "Sorry for making a mess, Leonardo."
SHREDDER: "Oh, you two traitorous twits!!!"

Raphael comes running in just in time to witness Shredder grab Rocksteady by the neck and looks him in the eye, transferring his spectral form from Leonardo's body to the mutant rhino's.

RAPHAEL: "Oh great!"
LEONARDO: (Groaning) "Oh, my head! What the... Rocksteady?"

Shredder attempts to strangle Leonardo, but Raphael and Bebop both manage to pry him off. Jeff and April come running up from the basement, as Mona Lisa, Donatello, Splinter, Michaelangelo and the 4Kids Turtles come in through the kitchen.

MONA LISA: "What the heck's going on?!"
JEFF: "Um, my guess is Shredder's been body jumping from turtle to turtle, and now he's inhabited Rocksteady!"
SPLINTER: "Oroku Saki, please stop this foolishness!"
SHREDDER: (Sighs.) "Why couldn't you damn mutants just allow me to conquer the world?!"
APRIL: "Why did Shredder even want to take over the world anyway?"
DONATELLO: "Given the recent political drama that's been going on... I have a pretty good idea what old can-head was planning."
MICHAELANGELO: "Right, but whatever delusional plans old Shred-head had to take over Earth and beyond was never going to happen!"
LEONARDO: "Shredder, this is your last chance! Return to the great beyond and allow yourself to rest in peace."

Bebop puts his hand over his possessed best friend's shoulder.

BEBOP: "Please, boss! For the sake of your own dignity."
SHREDDER: "What do you know about dignity, hog breath?! You two fools were always the reason most of me and Krang's schemes failed in the first place!!!"
BEBOP: "Because deep down we knew what we were doing was wrong. Our animal instincts and human subconscious were just trying to set us straight!"
RAPHAEL: "Have you guys been going to therapy?"
SHREDDER: (Groans.) "Very well. If I am forced to admit defeat, then so be it. However I have no idea how to move on to the great beyond!"
SPLINTER: "Perhaps I can be of help. I will allow you to return to my subconscious under the condition that we contact our old friend Raven. I am sure she will be of assistance in setting your spirit free once and for all!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Uh, just to be on the safe side, shouldn't we tie Splinter up first?"
4KIDS RAPH: (Smacks 4Kids Michelangelo upside the head.)
4KIDS MIKEY: "Ow!"
SHREDDER: "Do it."

Splinter looks deep into Rocksteady's eyes, which triggers Shredder's ghost to once again inhabit the wise rat's body.

LEONARDO: "Are you okay, sensei?"
SPLINTER: "Yes, Leonardo. Shredder is sticking to his word, and I will retreat to the dojo downstairs. In the meantime, I suggest you allow your early 21st century counterparts to make themselves at home."
4KIDS DON: "Might as well. Our plans for the evening are kinda shot after all of this!"
4KIDS LEO: "Did you lock up the van before we left it parked at the dock?"
4KIDS DON: "Oh, don't worry about that. I arranged for Casey and April to drive it back to O' Neil Tech!"

Jeff, Michaelangelo and 4Kids Michelangelo join Bebop and Rocksteady on the floor to watch Cartoon Network, while April, Mona Lisa and the rest of the Turtles hang out at the back patio.

LEONARDO: "Are you sure you guys don't want to keep that Technodrome? I mean your Donatello sure went out of his way to get it built!"
4KIDS DON: (Sighs.) "I hate to scrap the plans I had for it! But given what we just went through, it's probably for the best we break it down for raw materials. Besides, you guys could use it for the underground lair your putting in!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Yea, besides we got both our original lair, and the old Y'Lyntian home base fully restored!"
4KIDS LEO: "Much as I enjoy these team ups, I really hope we can cool it with the dimension hopping for a while."
DONATELLO: "Yea, I gotta admit, these adventures are getting a little repetitive."
RAPHAEL: "Besides, this reality we reside in isn't officially licensed by Nickelodeon, or its parent company Paramount... formerly Viacom!"
4KIDS RAPH: "What the shell are you going on about?!"
APRIL: (Giggles.) "Oh, don't mind him!"
MONA LISA: "Yea, Raphael likes to break the 4th wall as it were."
4KIDS RAPH: "The 4th what, now?!"
4KIDS DON: "I'm sure Mikey will explain it in depth when we head back to our world!"

Splinter comes back out with Jeff, Michaelangelo and 4Kids Michelangelo.

JEFF: "Well, Shredder's officially gone for good!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Yea, thank heavens, right dudes?"
LEONARDO: "You can say that again!" (Turns to 4Kids Leonardo.) "Thanks again for all your help!"
4KIDS LEO: "Don't mention it. You would've done the same for us... that is if our Master Splinter was still alive and possessed by The Shredder!"
4KIDS MIKEY: "Considering we've dealt with three separate Shredders, I can't imagine which one would be the toughest to handle in that situation!"
4KIDS RAPH: "Well, like Leo said earlier, it's better to leave the past in the past."
SPLINTER: "I am truly sorry to hear of your sensei's passing. I hope he went peacefully."
4KIDS DON: "He certainly did, and thank you for the sentiment."

Donatello uses a remote control device to operate the dimensional portal, which opens a glowing blue hole right at the edge of the patio, allowing the 4Kids Ninja Turtles to return home safely. They wave back to the Jephaelverse Ninja Turtles and company before jumping through the portal one by one.

LEONARDO: "Well, that was one wild adventure!!!"
MICHAELANGELO: "Do you think we'll have anymore?"
RAPHAEL: "I sort of hope not... atleast for the remainder of this decade!"
DONATELLO: "Well, considering that the year 2030 is about two and a half years away, that'll give us plenty of time to recuperate!"
MONA LISA: "Um, Master Splinter, why are you still wearing Shredder's armor?"
SPLINTER: "I have to admit, that I have always admired Oroku Saki's fashion sense! If he hadn't dedicated his life to such evil pursuits, he might've found himself a promising career in that field."
APRIL: "Ha, I could see it now!"
MICHAELANGELO: "For sure. He could've been a costume designer for big Hollywood blockbusters!"
LEONARDO: "True, but then we would never have existed!"
RAPHAEL: "Yea, that's the old catch-22 for ya!"
JEFF: "Villains create the heroes; heroes create the villains; comic book creators make millions of dollars!"

Everyone bursts out laughing at Jeff's comment.
