"Huh?!" 80s Shredder yelled. He had a confused look at the...thing inside the imprisoned ice. 

"Pink slug?" He asked. Unfortunately, he didn't watch that far ahead to know that the Shredder in this dimension is an Utrom, a species of alien that are friends to the turtles, Nate, Rachael, Jessie and Ashly. Unlike the peace-loving race, Shredder was far from 'peace-loving.' 80s Shredder taps the ice slightly, looking disappointed. "Ohh! I wanted a super sinister ally!" He said as he droops at his supposed failure as Kraang walks up to him in his body.

"Oh, I don't know." He said. On the inside, Kraang was loving this. "He looks alright to me. Grao!" He said.

Later on, they're trying to figure what exactly the Utrom is. "Could that puny creature actually be this dimension's Shredder?" He doesn't believe it to be likely, as it was the only entry. Utrom Shredder has been melted, being tended to by a machine behind them. "Quiet." He said. The machine turns on.

"Commencing cryo-regeneration."

It zaps Utrom Shredder before overheating and causing an explosion. 80s Shredder tries to shut it off, but it does that on its own. "Fool! You overcooked him, didn't you?" Kraang scolds as he approaches Utrom Shredder. 80s Shredder tries to figure out what's wrong from his end.

"I did everything exactly right." He said as he rushes over to Utrom Shredder, who shows no signs of life. "It should have worked. It should be alive." He said as he waves away some of the smoke.

"You botched it. You botched it!" Kraang said/accuses, 80s Shredder looking very annoyed with him. He growls in frustration, chasing after Kraang, having had enough. He grips the alien's neck.

"You forget who you talk to, you whimpering-" He said. Kraang smacks him in the face with one of his tentacles. "Worm." He said. Kraang hits him again, which has no lasting effect. "I am the Shredder!" He said. Utrom Shredder wakes up at that statement, but it goes ultimately unnoticed by either of the bumbling idiots.

"I know who you are." Kraang said. He kept punching him in the struggle. "Let go!" He said as he hits him, but it again has no effect. "What fools are these?" A deep voice said. They hear a gravelly voice, the Utrom standing up. "So weary of life." A gravelly voice said. "What...?" Kraang asks in confusion as 80s Shredder turns around sharply. "Huh?" 80's Shredder asked. "That they take the name of the Shredder!" He said. He speeds over so that he's standing behind them. "My name, in vain!" Utrom Shredder said.

80s Shredder and Kraang look at each other in confusion, for one because they had no idea what he was talking about, and for two, that the small creature could speak. They turn back to the Utrom, who snarls in anger and lunges forward, knocking the both of them into a window. They lay on the ground as Utrom Shredder stands up, the two looking at each other in surprise. Obviously, they gave him less credit because of his small size. The Utrom growls at them, further enraged.

After Utrom Shredder has calmed down (for now), 80s Shredder shows him around the Technodrome, as him and Kraang are preparing. "And this is our engine room—currently under repair, unfortunately." He said. Utrom Shredder still has that snarl on his face, as he doesn't look pleased at all. 80s Shredder gets a call and looks at his phone.

"Oh, excuse me, most honored guest." 80s Shredder said as he bows at him with a smile before answering the phone. Utrom Shredder just growls, as he doesn't seem to find anything pleasing about his surroundings. "Kraang? What's taking so long? I can't keep this alien entertained forever!" He said to himself while mumbling.

"All is ready." Kraang remarks, chuckling. "Mighty Shredder. Just give the word." He said. For some reason, 80s Shredder puts on a gas mask over his mouth plate. "The word, you smug slug, is given." He said.

Kraang just snickers, hanging up. Suddenly, a mysterious green smoke appears from the air vents, the doors closing. Utrom Shredder growls as this is clearly a trap. The Foot Ninja holding him rushes to the other door, only for that one to close as well. Utrom Shredder turns around. 

"You!" Utrom Shredder growled. 80s Shredder backs away slightly in alarm as Utrom Shredder growls, his strength causing the Foot robot to fall to the ground. 80s Shredder just stares as Utrom Shredder breaks free and attacks him. "Little man." He said. He stared as 80s Shredder struggles. "You have made a grave...a grave..." He said. Foam appears in his mouth as the gas gives its effect on him. "Grave..." He said as he tries to resist it, but is eventually subdued by it, falling unconscious right on top of 80s Shredder. 80s Shredder quickly puts the Utrom down on the floor, not wanting to take any chances of the...creature attacking him once more. Not only that, he was kind of suffocating his face.

"I thought he could help us defeat the turtles, Nathanial, Rachael, Jessika and Ashlynn." He said to Kraang. Utrom Shredder has been restrained in ice. "But he...he's insane!" He said more like whining.

"Perhaps we may still learn something useful." Kraang said as he puts down a box, revealing a sharp knife inside. He squawks, picking it up. "Dissecting it, hmm?" He asked with a smirk on his face. An alarm goes off, alerting them, along with Bebop and Rocksteady, of an intruder.

"Intruder alert, intruder alert."

An explosion occurs right in front of them, several Foot Ninjas being kicked away, defeated. This shocks them all, as this hasn't happened before. At least, not with the turtles, Nathanial, Rachael, Jessika and Ashlynn they knew. No, this was someone new they hadn't met yet from the dimension they're currently in.

And that someone is Karai as she flips out of the smoke, holding swords. Her hair is mostly on the left side, wearing black and red armor. Bebop and Rocksteady shout in shock at the glaring kunoichi. She sees Utrom Shredder and his state, jumping into action and slicing him free.

"I am called Karai." She explains, Kraang and 80s Shredder cowering from the swords. She twirls them away from their faces. "I am his daughter." She said.

"Not much of a family resemblance." 80s Shredder whispered to Kraang, and for that remark Karai kicks him to the ground. Kraang gives a scared look to Karai, whimpering. This girl was certainly dangerous.

I split this chapter into two chapters so that it's not too long. By the way, I decided to refer to the 80s turtles, Jessie, Rachael, Nate and Ashly by their full names until they meet their other counterparts, which isn't for a while. And I have almost 20 minutes to go! Yay!
