Ninjas at Monster High

Before the Storm

Robecca led the turtles and her friends right back down to her father's workshop through the staircase of the catacombs. That was where the turtles popped up first so if there was any idea to find a solution home, it makes sense to start searching there.

Robecca opened the large door and let everyone in. "Well then everyone, welcome to my father's workshop."

Donnie looked around and was fascinated by the gadgets. "This is some pretty interesting tech. Looks old school, yet futuristic at the same time." Donnie said as picked up an unfinished mechanical bronze arm.

"I think I saw this in an old steampunk comic once." Mikey said as he was looking at everything in the room.

"Hexaciah Steam was one of the most brilliant minds in the monster world. Even my dad was pretty envious of his accomplishments." Frankie said.

Leo looked around and he too was impressed by the contents of the old laboratory. "We didn't really get a chance to look around before. You know...cause of the whole...disappearing act." Leo said sheepishly.

"It's no problem, Leo." Robecca waved off. "You were all in a panic, so it's no trouble."

Draculara kept walking around, but felt something crack under her boot. She looked down and saw the shattered pieces of the mirror. "Hey Robecca, is this that mirror you and Ghoulia were telling us about?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked over to where she was. "And this is what brought the turtles here?" Lagoona asked.

"How can a mirror transport us across dimensions?" Raph asked.

"My father has kept many artifacts in his travels, so there might be a clue here somewhere." Robecca said.

Clawdeen stood by a work desk and spotted a journal on it. She picked it up and looked through the pages. "I think this might have the clues we're looking through."

Robecca saw what she held and gained a surprise look. "I remember that book. It was a detailed journal of all the inventions my father ever created."

Clawdeen turned to another page and this one made her smile. "Here's one about you Robecca." Clawdeen said as she handed the book to her robot friend.

Robecca was surprised as she looked at the pages and saw a detailed diagram of her mechanical body. Every single sketch was perfectly drawn, showing how much care and passion her father held for creating her. She smiled as she wished she can thank her father.

Donnie placed a hand on her shoulder. "You okay?"

Robecca nodded and smiling at him. "I'm alright. Just wish my dad was here."

"You and me both." Donnie said.

"Yeah, I miss Master Splinter." Mikey said sadly, which earned him a pat on the back from Ghoulia. He smiled at the kind gesture she gave him.

"All the more reason to find a way back home, and if this mirror holds some answers then we need to find them." Raph said.

Robecca nodded and flipped through the pages. "Let's see...here we go!" Robecca said cheerfully as she came across a page that had the image of the mirror.

"So what does it say?" Cleo asked.

"It says that this mirror wasn't something that my father invented, rather it was given to him." Robecca answered as she read through the journal. "He said that a friend of his gave it to him and that it was to only be used in case of a dire emergency."

That made a few of them nervous. "What kind of an emergency?" Draculara asked.

"It doesn't say." Robecca answered.
