Turtles' Big Sister

Beyond the Known Universe

"Captain's log, star date...no idea. The evil Triceratons, a race of aliens from across the galaxy, invaded Earth. They wanted to wipe out their ancient enemy, the Kraang, so they unleashed a black hole weapon that destroyed both the Kraang and their secret hiding place, Earth. We lost our friends, our allies, even Father. We were only saved at the last second by a mysterious robot called the Fugitoid and his mutant canine crewmates, Max and Hunter."

Pepper watched with the others as Max, Hunter and Fugitoid walked around the ship, tapping on the consoles and the main screen. Max stopped in the middle of the main screen, continuing to tap.

Pepper looked the canine over. She looked younger than Samirah. Twelve, maybe thirteen? A Border Collie, judging by the black-and-white fur. One ear stood straight while the other flopped over. Her black-and-white hair was chopped short in an unruly pixie cut, falling in her eyes, which were a deep golden-brown with an outer ring of bright blue. Central split-iris heterochromia. A quiver full of arrows hung over her back alongside a longbow while twin butterfly swords were sheathed at both hips. She wore a gray jacket, blue jeans, and hiking boots. Peaking out from under the sleeves of her jacket, Pepper could see she wore wrist cuffs, striped in black, gray, white, and pale green. 

The other canine, Hunter, looked around the same age as Max. Instead of a Collie, Hunter was a blue merle Australian Shepard. She had heterochromia, too. But whereas Max had split-iris, Hunter had complete heterochromia: one blue and the other chocolate brown. A double-ended axe, folded in half in the center, was slung over her back, like Alejandro's. Her hair was curly and silver-white, hanging to her shoulders. She was dressed in a long-sleeved blue shirt, black leggings, white tennis shoes, and square-rimmed black glasses. A braided pink leather bracelet was clasped around her wrist.

Donnie sighed and Raya, sitting beside him with her head on his shoulder, whined softly.

Leo turned to the robot, "Alright, Fugitoid, or whatever your name is, what just happened?"

"This has got to be some kind of sick joke, right?" Raph questioned, walking over to Fugitoid. He grabbed the robot and started shaking him. "Right??"

Fugitoid smacked the back of Raph's head, making the hothead release him.

"Calm down, Raphael," Max ordered. "First things first. Fugitoid has a job to do."

Fugitoid walked over to the main console that Casey was sitting on, Samirah on the floor by his feet. Fugitoid made a shooing motion and Casey got off the console. "Now, please. We've got a ship to fly while you all stand about gawking." He got behind the console.

"That's not good enough," April stated. "Where are you taking us?"

"All questions will be answered in time," Hunter responded. Fugitoid hooked himself up to the console and the ship started to power up. "Hold on to something!" The ship started shaking and Pepper yelled as she struggled to stay on her feet. "Oh, no, too late for that. Sorry."

"Not...cool...bro!" Mikey shouted as everything inside the ship turned white before an array of colors flashed by them. Pepper got down on her knees, hands over her heads until the ship came to a stop.

"What--what just happened?" Astra questioned, getting back onto her feet. "We're actually alive?"

They turned their attention to the screen and Pepper's eyes widened upon seeing Earth and its moon, perfectly intact.

"I think we--we went back in time, about six months, based on where Earth is and its revolution around the sun," Donnie said, everyone getting back up.

"Six months?" Raya questioned. "Then that means everyone's back? Including Master Splinter?" Her eyes brightened.
