Where We Collided || ROTTMNT ||

All Together

Dimension X was, in one word, insane. The 2012 boys were obviously used to it, and Savage Mikey came back 0,1 seconds after they entered through the portal. Raph watched them with fondness and smiled as they groaned at Michelangelo's antics.

"Wow," Leo said loud enough for everyone to hear.

Raph looked at his younger brother, who was staring wide-eyed at nothing, tears pouring from his eyes. Raph frowned, confused and conflicted. Why was Leo crying?

"Leo? You okay?" Raph asked, carefully coming closer to the blue-clad turtle.

Leo turned to look at him, eyes still as wide as before. He sucked in a breath and wiped away his tears quickly.

"Donnie's energy came back, but it's so weak," his voice went really soft at the end of the sentence and Raph felt his heart break.

"Can you make out a direction?" Raph asked, looking out into the pink void before them.

"It's vague, but I can pinpoint a general direction," Leo said, and Donatello pulled him aside to go over a route they should take.

Meanwhile, Bishop appeared by their sides and welcomed them to Dimension X. He led all of them into the courtroom where Queen was waiting for them, with Cassandra and SHELLDON by her side.

"Guys!" Cassandra shouted, launching herself at New April and then Mikey.

"Cass!" Mikey said, and New April came back to hug the other girl a second time.

Casey and April smiled at the interaction, and Raph was glad to see the General alive and well. SHELLDON was also okay and that was even better.

"Are you okay?" Raph asked the little drone.

SHELLDON nodded. "Yeah, we're fine."

"Let's get started then," Queen announced, and everyone took a seat at the round table.

"We know where Sub-Prime has his base, but I want you to confirm it," Queen said, addressing Leo.

Bishop pulled up a holographic map and marked a spot with an x, showing that was the place. Leo walked to the screen and closed his eyes for several moments, before nodding.

"That's the place," he confirmed. "Donnie's energy is very weak, but it's there."

"Inform me of your plan, please," Queen asked Leo, and the blue-clad turtle nodded.

"We infiltrate the base, with Splinter and pops on standby, and we get me close to Donnie, while the others fight off any bots if we are discovered," Leo explained. "Gram-Gram gave me a way to free Donnie, but I have to be close to him for a long time. I don't think I'll be any help in the battle, so I need some protection."

Queen nodded. "We shall provide backup, then."

Leo nodded. "We'll leave Splinter and dad with you. April and Casey will come with us. Cass and SHELLDON, too, if they want."

"Are you crazy," Cass chuckled. "We've been preparing for a whole damn month over here. If you don't take me with you I'm gonna follow you anyway."

Leo grinned. "Point taken."

"I am joining you as well," SHELLDON said. "I will not leave Donnie behind."

Raph smiled, and Leo did the same.

"Of course," Mikey said. "We'll get him back, don't worry."

SHELLDON nodded and Mikey pulled him in for a hug. Raph watched them with another smile and turned to speak with Queen.
