They take off in the Party Wagon, but Hun sees them and roars, surrounded by all of the defeated mutants. "So, I still don't get it. Which Shredder is back? Doin' what? To whom?" Casey asked in confusion, the girls facepalming.

"What I want to know is...how did we survive the Shredder's centrifugal scanning process? We should've been broken down into nonexistence. And how did Lynn and Rach survive having their life source taken away? No offense." The purple masked, dark green turtle said. Donnie shrinks down slightly from Raph and Leo's looks. 

"Something didn't go according to his plan." He said. "Then he won't expecting us to go after him." Leo says in realization before turning to Ashly. Raph was driving as he had his fiancée sitting next to him. "But...I'd like to know how you're still alive too. We...we thought we lost you..." He said.

"I would like to know as well with Rach. We thought we lost you too." Raph said as he kept his eyes on the road. "Is she a ghost?" Mikey pokes Ashly and Rachael and they slaps his fingers away. "I'm still breathing, so therefore, I'm not a ghost. And...the Shredder didn't account for my safety measures. You see, when the Utroms gave me my powers, they also gave me a back-up life generator if you wanna call it that. So when my life source was drained..." Ashly said.

"Same goes for me. When the Utroms gave me a back-up life generator or something like that. So, when my life source was drained..." Rachael said as she was playing with her necklace. "The generator kicked in. Brilliant!" Donnie realizes. Ashly and Rachael smiles slightly at him, nodding.

"That would've been nice to know." Mikey grumbles. "I don't really know how to describe it. And I never told you because it was something only, I knew about and understood." Ashly said as she crosses her arms. Rachael kept playing with her necklace as she put her head on Raph's shoulder.

"So...we know that April and Casey exist in this dimension, but who are you?" Leonardo asked as he points to Zoey and Stephanie. "What?" How can you not know us?" Zoey asked. "Well, to put it bluntly, we're their girlfriends." Stephanie said as she gestures to Mikey. Zoey stood next to Donnie.

"Girlfriends?!" Donatello, Michelangelo, Jessika and Nathanial exclaim in shock, Ashly shaking her head at them while Rachael rolled her eyes. "At least they're human." She said as the 80s counterparts crossing their arms. "We need to head to the source dimension, to what the Shredder called Turtle Prime." Leo goes back to the matter at hand, not that he wasn't happy that Ashly was okay. Raph was still keeping his eyes on the road with his fiancée resting her head on his shoulder but he was more worried about Rachael. "But Leo, you saw Shredder's slide show. The turtle-verse is, like, ginormous!" Mikey said as he points it out.

"We have no way of knowing which dimension Turtle Prime is. We'd just be guessing." Donnie said dejectedly, to the dismay of the others. "Or..." Donnie's 80s counterpart said. Donatello holds up the portal stick. "We could track your Shredder's exact movements instead. When the Technodrome phases through trans-dimensional barriers, it leaves a trail of particle emissions that, with the right equipment, we can recalibrate the portal stick to track!" He said.

"Portal stick?" Stephanie asked Zoey in confusion, who shrugs helplessly. Raph suddenly presses the brakes, skidding the Party Wagon to an abrupt stop. Everyone in the back crashes into each other as Raph gasps. Rachael gasped as she sat up straight. "What the shell, Raph?" Mikey asked. "End of the road, Rach, bros and sisters!" Raph said as he looks shocked. "What's going on?" Rachael asked.

"Literally!" He said. Something is engulfing their world, turning into black and white, and then blue. The citizens run away but are immediately caught in it...before they disappear. "It's like the whole world is being erased!" Nate said. Casey and the girls back up. "It's the Shredder, it has to be. He's reached Turtle Prime." Leo said. "Then we'd better recalibrate your tracking device. You said you needed some equipment?" April asked. "Better equipment?" Zoey asked as she glances at the Party Wagon.
