At Turtles' Lair, the gang is at the dojo training, at training, everyone was training as a duo, Twilight was training with Leo, Rainbow Dash with Raph, Pinkie Pie with Mikey, Rarity with Donnie, Applejack with Casey and Fluttershy with April.
Everyone was training normally without talking to each other, only April and Fluttershy, and Leo Twilight, were talking to each other.
With Leo and Twilight, "I just can't believe it." Said Leo a little frustrated.
"What's wrong Leo?" Twilight asked.
"It's about Fluttershy." Leo replied, "She already knew Slash and never told us."
"Well, you heard what she said, he asked her not to." Twilight explained.
"But she shouldn't, she shouldn't even have trusted him in the first place." Said Leo.
"Leo, I know Slash has caused a lot of trouble in the past and all, but..." Twilight is cut off when Leo says, "He not only caused trouble, he nearly killed me and my brothers."
"But hadn't you already let it go?" Twilight asked. "You hadn't settled the points and understood each other? So why do you still mistrust him?"
Leo tried to think of an excuse, but couldn't think of anything, so he changed the subject by saying, "Well, and... what about you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Twilight asked.
"Don't you also have trust issues with... what was her name again? Trixie! Yeah, that one you told me about." Leo asked.
"Well, uum... t-that's different." Twilight said. "Trixie may not be bad anymore, but she's still arrogant and annoying, so sometimes you can't trust her." Twilight and Leo stop the conversation and continue with their attack and defense training.
Meanwhile with Fluttershy and April, Fluttershy was kind of nervous that she could barely concentrate on training, April thought Fluttershy was scared because of training and said, "Come on Fluttershy, I know you're scared but you have to consent to it."
"No, that's not what I'm worried about." Fluttershy said.
"Then what is it because of?" April asked.
"With Leo." Fluttershy replied as she looked at Leo. "He looked at me with an angry face when I told him about me and Slash, is he mad at me? Oh, is he going to do something bad to me, or to Slash now that he knows!?" Fluttershy was worried and scared at the same time.
"Fluttershy, trust me." April said. "Leo can be a little suspicious and angry at times, not as much as Raph.
"I heard that!" Said Raph.
April continued: "But it's about friends and the ones he cares about a lot, he doesn't get mad easily, unlike Raph.
"Hey! Stop mismatching me with Leo!" Said Raph.
"Why? It's completely 100% true." Rainbow scoffed.
"Just shut up and keep training!" Said Raph frustrated.
"Anyway." April said. "I'm pretty sure he's not mad about you and Slash, he just cares about you, you can trust Slash, but Leo doesn't, and he and we all know how you are, and that any enemy can hurt you."
"But Slash didn't hurt me, he never did." Fluttershy said.
"Well, but Slash has hurt the Turtles in the past, which is why Leo gets worried if anyone approaches him." April explained. "I don't blame him, I would also be worried if any of my friends try to get close to an enemy."
"But…do you trust Slash?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well, after he and the Mutanimals helped us save New York, sure i did." April answered.
"But then why doesn't Leo still trust him, when Slash also helped him save New York?" Fluttershy asked.
"It's complicated, sometimes I don't even understand this stubborn blue turtle." April scoffed. "But trust me, he'll let it go soon and maybe even trust Slash more."
"Well...i hope so." Said Fluttershy still a little worried as she looks at Leo.
Back to Leo and Twilight, the two practice kicking and defending, Twilight kicks but Leo defends, while defending, he goes back to that issue he and Twilight were having. "So if don't trust Trixie, why are you trying to make me trust Slash when he and I have the same issues as you and Trixie?"
"Well, unless I don't get mad at friends even if they talk to people we don't trust." Twilight said. "I saw how you looked at Fluttershy, you got mad at her just because she met Slash."
"I didn't get mad about it, it's because I care about her, we don't know what Slash could have done to her, he could have hurt her or worse, and we both know she's not capable of dending herself. " Leo explained.
"Sure, you're right about that." Twilight nodded. "But it's been a long time since she met him, and he never did anything to her, on the contrary, he saved her when she needed it most, without him Fluttershy would have been hurt by the fall or worse, and that still didn't convince you to trust Slash?
Leo thought of an answer. "Look I-" But before he answered. "YAME!" Master Splinter stop the training.
Everyone stops and sits down kneeling for the Splinter: "Girls, your moves today are better than yesterday, I see you've practicing a lot, congratulations." Splinter praised.
"Thank you Sensei." Twilight thanked.
"Nah, but also, what were you expecting? I mean, we've already faced enemies at the base of the punch, so that was nothing." Rainbow bragged.
"Rainbow, darling! Don't be rude!" Rarity said.
"What? It's true." Said Rainbow.
"But you don't have to brag about it." said Applejack dryly frowning.
"Hmph." Rainbow crossed her arms.
"What do we do now, Sensei?" Twilight asked.
Splinter smoothed his beard and said, "I suggest you get some rest now, while I go over your moves and attacks."
"Alright! I was already needing to rest my arms." Said Rainbow as she stretched her arms.
"Sure you need, Rainbow Lazy." Raph mocked her.
"HEY!" Rainbow scolds him.
"Come on girls, let's go to the living room." Said Twilight and she and everyone stood up.
But then... "But first, Leonardo and Twilight Sparkle." Splinter called the two leaders.
Twilight and Leo turned around, "Yes, Master Splinter?" Leo replied. "What is it, Sensei?" Twilight asked.
"I heard what you guys were talking about in practice, and I'd like to talk to you guys about it." Said Splinter.
Twilight and Leo were a little nervous, but at the same time they were a little frustrated, nervous about what Splinter was going to say, and frustrated that they didn't want to get into that subject again. But without hesitation, the two approached Master Splinter to talk about it.
After the two sit down on their knees, Splinter says, "Looks like you two are having trust issues with someone you know."
The two are silent for a few seconds, until Twilight says intimidatingly, "Maybe, i guess."
"Yeah, maybe." said Leo intimidatingly.
"Leonardo, you start." Said Splinter. "Who are you having trust issues with?"
Leo is silent for a second, but then he replies, "It's... Slash."
"Slash huh?" Said Splinter. "And tell me, why can't you trust him? You two seemed to be getting along great when you were saving New York, why is this happening now and again?"
"Because..." Leo tries to think of an answer but he can't, but after sighing, he replies: "I-I don't know, it's just... after all he's done to me and my brothers, without mention also that he helped the Newtralizer, I don't know if I should trust him, what if he turns on us again? Or worse."
"So now you know how Raph felt when he didn't trust Karai?" Splinter asked.
"What? What do you mean?" Leo asked.
"Just like Raph acted by not trusting Karai, you're acting the same way with Slash, and just like you trusted Karai, Raph trusts Slash." Splinter explained.
Leo lowered his head thinking, and then he says, "But this is different, Sensei."
"Actually it is, because Karai acted bad because she wanted to, while Slash only acted bad because of much of Mutagen." Leo explained.
Leo even got a little reality check when Splinter explained this, Leo had never thought of that.
"Leonardo, I'm not telling you to trust Slash, I'm telling you to give him a chance, if Raph, Fluttershy and your friends trust him, the least you should do for them is give the person they trust a chance, you're better than that, I know you can do it my son." Splinter puts his hand on Leo's shoulder.
Leo thinks about what Splinter said and he says, "I... I'll try, Sensei."
"I really hope, because this mistrust you are not only going to affect you or Slash, but also your friends, Fluttershy for example was upset how you treated Slash, and even more upset that you got mad at her for that. " Splinter explained.
Leo thinks back to what Splinter said, and even felt a little bad about it, he didn't want Fluttershy to be like this, he just thought what she had done was dangerous, and Fluttershy saw it in him as aggression rather than concern.
"Now, Twilight Sparkle." Splinter turned to Twilight. "Who are you having trust issues with?"
"It's... a pony named Trixie, Trixie Lulamoon." Twilight replied.
"And… what did Trixie Lulamoon do to make you not trust her?" Splinter explained.
"Well, unlike Slash, Trixie did a lot more bad things than Slash, you have no idea." Twilight explained. "She hurt my friends just to show she was the ''best at everything'', she nearly destroyed Ponyville because of Ursa Minor, and on top of that she banished me, dominated and enslaved Ponyville thanks to the amulet she had."
Master Splinter smoothed his beard listening to what Twilight was saying and says, "Well, indeed Trixie Lulamoon has done a lot, but you're saying you have trouble trusting her, so something else happened to her, what is it?"
"Umm...well, after I defeated her and made her take off her amulet, she apologized after all that and asked for my forgiveness." Twilight explained.
"And you did?" Splinter asked.
"Uuum...well...not exactly" Said Twilight. "Although I said yes to her, the real thing is that I didn't completely forgive her, and it only got worse when she came back and befriended Starlight, because I didn't want Starlight stay with a pony that was once evil just like her."
"I see." Said Master Splinter. "Twilight, I know you and Trixie have been through a lot, but if she's redeeming herself for the things she's done in the past and give her a chance."
"That's what Starlight always tells me." Twilight said. "But not that I don't try, i do, but...arghh, sometimes Trixie is really... annoying, and...I still think she hasn't changed at all, that she's still that same jerk bad pony ."
"She might still be a jerk, but that doesn't mean she's still bad." Splinter explained.
Twilight was silent, thinking about what Splinter had said, she was kind of in disbelief, but then she thought that maybe he might be right.
And then Master Splinter said to Twilight and Leo, "You two may have been through a lot with your old enemies, but those enemies of yours have now become your friends, and they're doing their best to improve, and instead of you helping them like giving them a chance, you are leaving your memories of those who were once your enemies preventing you from getting close to them."
Twilight and Leo thought about what Splinter said, they now really feel that Splinter is right about all of this.
"You can't even trust those you don't trust, but your friends do, and they want you to give someone they trust a chance, just like I do." Said Master Splinter. "I know you can do it, you two are better than that, I know it, and I know you know it too."
Twilight and Leo felt down, Splinter really was right about that.
"I...I understand, Master Splinter." Twilight said. "And we will do what you ask, what our friends ask."
"Yes sensei, I will do my best, I hope." Said Leo.
"I hope the same." Said Splinter. "Now you can go. And remember: don't let your memories define what your friends were, but what they are now."
"Hai, sensei." Said Twilight and Leo, the two then leave the Dojo and Splinter starts meditating.
Outside the Dojo, the rest of the group went to do their thing, Rainbow and Raph played video games, Mikey ate her box of Pizza and Pinkie ate her box of Cupcakes, Rarity painted her nails, Applejack relaxes on the couch with her hat over her face her and Fluttershy was petting Spike.
Donnie walked around the room until something caught his eye, a round device that Mikey had picked up was on Mikey's side.
"Mikey, what is this?" Donnie asked.
"Uum duh, it's a Pizza." Mikey said as he showed her his slice of Pizza. "Dude, we eat this all the time, how can you forget-"
Donnie interrupts asking again, "No, not Pizza, idiot, I meant this." Donnie pointed at the object on Mikey's side.
"Oh that? Shiny isn't it? I found it in the lab where we're fighting Akemi and the Foot Clan." Mikey explained.
"Mikey, what have we told you and not picking up trash!?" Said Raph.
"Oh come on, this thing is beautiful, I don't want to leave it in a dirty and wrecked place like that." Mikey said.
"Let me see this." Donnie took the device to analyze. "Hmm, I'm not sure what it is, but it's nothing like the other stuff in that lab."
"Was this what Akemi and Foot Clan were after?" Rarity asked.
"Perhaps." Donnie said. "I'm going to take this to my lab to analyze and see what it really is." Donnie took the device to the lab.
"Wow Mikey, did you hear that? You might have taken something Akemi wanted!" Pinkie said.
"So that means..." Mikey was saying. "That I stopped that woman's evil plans, YEAH, point for me!" he said happily.
"And for me too!" Said Pinkie, raised her hand and they both high fived.
"Seriously, you two have been acting really weird lately." Said Raph.
"Yeah, what's going on?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, we realize you guys always treat us like two goofy jerks." Mikey said.
"First, did you just notice it now? Second, that's because you two are." Said Rainbow.
"Hey! That one hurt, Dashie." Pinkie felt a little angry but more hurt.
"And we're not, we can be very helpful, we've helped you during this time." Mikey said.
"Oh really? Just this time?" Raph asked sarcastically. "While the other times you guys made a mess."
"Yeah, you two make a mess on your own, but when you're together, WOW, the mess multiplies." Said Rainbow. "It's just what you two do. Mess."
Mikey and Pinkie feel hurt by this, April seeing this situation tries to cheer up saying, "So... Hey, how about we all relax a little bit by eating Pizza."
"Uhh Red, but Mikey just ate the whole box and the pizza delivery guys are off today." Casey said.
"And that's why we're going to walk to buy Pizzas, let's go Casey." April said walking out of the Dojo.
"Alright, I'm after you." Casey said.
"Hey I'm coming with you too." Spike said.
"Are you? Why, Spike?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well, now that I know how to use my nose, I want to experience more of the smells out there, and I've smelled a lot in here," Spike said. "Especially the dirty, smelly clothes in Mikey's room." Spike frowned.
"Hey! My room isn't that dirty." Mikey said. "Besides, what about the phrase "don't put your nose where it doesn't belong"?"
"Well it's not my fault the stench in your room is stronger than the other smells." Spike said. "Anyway, see ya, guys." Spike followed April and Casey out.
Then Twilight and Leo appeared in the room after leaving the Dojo. "Hey, where are April, Casey and Spike going?" Twilight asked
"They're going out to buy pizzas, Spike's just going to try his nose." Applejack explained. "And it's a good thing Donnie isn't here right now, he would be so jealous to see April and Casey hanging out." She smirked.
"Plus, what were you two still doing inside the Dojo?" Rarity asked Twilight and Leo.
"Oh, uuhh, nothing, nothing special." Twilight disguised it.
"Yeah, we were just talking to Master Splinter, that's all." Leo disguised.
"Okay?" Rarity said.
Leo looks at Fluttershy sitting alone, he thinks about what Splinter said, maybe he'd better hear her whole story and about Slash, he approaches Fluttershy and asks: "So, uuuh... Fluttershy, how about... you finish telling your story?"
Fluttershy nervously responds, "Oh... uuuh, i... don't.. know.... maybe another time, okay? I think I've had enough talking about Slash for now, especially for you. "
Leo saw that Fluttershy was really upset about it, so he decided not to convince her to tell and said, "Okay, if you say so." Then he sits next to Twilight, they are both upset after all this.
Twilight looks around and notices that something wasn't right, Pinkie Pie and Mikey seemed upset about something, Raph and Rainbow were playing video games just fine, but she noticed that Rainbow occasionally looked at Applejack with an angry look, and Applejack did the same, and of course she'd already noticed Fluttershy upset after she'd told him about her and Slash.
"Oh my, this is not right." Twilight said.
"What you mean?" Leo asked.
"Look at everyone, except Rarity she's fine." Twilight said. "Everyone looks upset, hurt and even angry. First it was Applejack and Rainbow Dash, then Fluttershy, and now look at Pinkie and Mikey, they look upset about something, I don't know what, but something else happened to them to stay like that." Twilight explained. "It seems that every day that passes, we are falling out with each other, if we continue like this, we will end up breaking each other, and worse... breaking our friendship." Twilight worried about that.
Leo felt sorry for that and said, "Yeah I know, we're really having a hard time, not only with Akemi but also for ourselves, but I know we're going to get through this for the better as we always do."
"I hope so too, really." Twilight said. "I just hope nothing worse happens."
Meanwhile in New York, April, Casey and Spike walk back to the lair with several boxes of Pizzas, and Spike sniffs various parts of the street.
"Wow, I never thought I'd smell so many with that dog nose, I can practically smell everything." Said Spike as he sniffed the places.
"You know, you could use your nose to help find my hockey puck I lost weeks ago." Casey said. "And that was one of my favorite pucks."
"Well, maybe if you hadn't been throwing pucks all over the place, you wouldn't have lost that favorite hockey puck of yours." April said.
"Yeah, and if you want me to find your puck, I need to-" Spike is cut off when April says, "Wait! Quiet!" April placed her hands between her head.
"What is it, Red?" Casey asked.
"What's wrong, April?" Spike asked.
April remained quiet with her hands between her head, until she replied, "Guys.... We're not alone."
As soon as April warned, it was too late, suddenly a bomb falls between them and starts to smoke, it was sleep gas, the group coughed while trying to cover the smell and they dropped the box pizzas they were holding, the smell of the gas was very strong, and little by little they got sleepy and weak, until they finally passed out.
As soon as they faint, some figures begin to appear several questions between them, they were the Foot Clan robots, together with Akemi.
"You, get the girl. You, get the boy. I'll get the dog." Akemi ordered, and each of the robots she ordered went to get the two humans.
As soon as the robots catch the humans, Akemi approaches the sleeping Spike and grabs him by the back.
"Stay smart now, Twilight Sparkle." Akemi speaks to herself. "If you want to see your friends and your pet, you and your friends will have to give me what I want."
Meanwhile in the lair, the group despite being having their problems, were relaxing well and doing their thing, including some of them like Mikey, Pinkie and Rainbow were watching TV, and what was on TV was a childish cartoon of ponies (And this is a satire of MLP G1).
In the cartoon, there were 5 ponies, a little dragon and a human girl named Mary (and this is a satire on Megan from MLP G1), who were in a field looking at what appeared to be an evil human queen with a magic staff.
The queen in the cartoon says, "With this staff, I will be queen of the whole world, and nothing can stop me!" She gives an evil laugh and lifts her magic staff and starts casting magic rays in the sky that form clouds that start casting magic lightning on the land.
Lightning begins to form cracks in the ground and where Mary and the ponies were.
"Oh no, the lightning is breaking the ground!" Said the little dragon.
"What do we do?" One of the ponies asks. "If the ground keeps breaking, we'll end up falling to the other side of the world."
"The other side of the world? Seriously?" Rainbow asked annoyed.
"Shhhh, Rainbow, we want to see what happens to them." Pinkie silenced Rainbow and went back to watching, while Rainbow frowns at this cartoon.
Back in the cartoon, the ground cracks even more as it reaches one of the ponies which was a pegasus, the ground cracks under her which resulted in her falling.
"NO!" Mary cried and ran to the hole where the pegasu had fallen. "Don't worry little pony, I'll save you." She takes a magic wand and jumps into the hole.
In the hole, the pegasus kept falling and screaming, but then Mary uses her magic wand which makes her and the pegasus fly.
"Yay, thanks for saving me, Mary." The pegasus I celebrate.
"You're welcome." Said Mary.
"Wait, WHAT!?" Rainbow was shocked by this nonsense that just happened in the cartoon, unlike Pinkie and Mikey who celebrate it.
"Phew, that one was close." Pinkie said.
"That one was close? That one was close?!!" Rainbow asked irritably. "That pony was a pegasus, she could have literally saved herself with her wings! Come on, I've seen this pegasus fly a bunch of times, why didn't she fly there too!?"
Back in the cartoon, Mary comes out of the hole with the pegasus and comes face to face with the evil queen. "Silly girl, I am the most powerful queen in the world, you are no match for me."
"I'm going to stop, with this magic wand, I use all its magic and stop you" said Mary.
The evil queen raises her magic staff which shoots out magic rays and Mary raises her wand which shoots magic sparks.
But then. "Alright, that's it, I've had enough" Raph grabs the remote and turns off the TV.
"Hum!? Hey!" Pinkie and Mikey complained.
"Argh, thanks Raphs, I couldn't take this pointless action anymore." Rainbow thanked Raph. "Man, I still can't believe this is how humans see ponies, that's offensive, me and the girls are ponies and we're nothing like those ponies."
"Now do you understand why I wasn't in good pressure when we met you girls?" Raph asked.
"Yes, now I understand, I understand perfectly." Rainbow aswered.
"Hey, turn on back, we were watching!" Mikey complained.
"Don't you think you're too old to see silly girl cartoons, Mikey?" Raph asked.
"But what about Mary and the evil queen? We want to know what's going to happen." Pinkie said.
"Nah, probably this Mary is going to use that magic wand and defeat the queen without any difficulty. Soooooo lame." Said Rainbow.
"Huh, say the one that uses magic stones and the "the magic of friendship" to defeat enemies." Said Raph.
"Hey! At least we use it with a lot of work and effort, unlike this girl who uses her magic without an ounce of effort!" Said Rainbow.
"Guys guys, please." Twilight caught the eye. "Look at us, look what's going on between us, we're breaking up, and the more we fall apart, the more broken we'll be, until we break our friendship, and I don't want that to happen... not again ."
The group was quiet, some were hurt by it, but others weren't and almost didn't care about it because they were so angry and hurt.
"Nah, nonsense, this is a silly little fight, no big deal." Said Rainbow.
"Well, it's not what it looks like." Twilight said. "Please don't keep going with this, try to understand each other, for our friendship, do this please."
Once again most were hurt by this and others weren't, especially Rainbow and Applejack who were barely looking at each other.
"Look Twilight, I-" Applejack is cut off when Splinter appears saying, "Girls, sorry to interrupt, but I wish you all would come back here to the Dojo."
"Oh, what for, Master Splinter?" Fluttershy asked.
"We will start another training?" Rainbow asked.
"No, it's something else." Said Splinter. "Come here." He called, and the girls and the whole group (except Donnie who was in the lab) went to the Dojo.
Inside the Dojo, the girls were sitting on their knees to Master Splinter who started to speak. "Girls, the training you had not only served to improve your skills, but also to show what you knew how to do, what you were capable of, and what your skill was. And I've been watching your every move and skill, and I think now is the time.
"Time? Time for what?" Rainbow asked.
Splinter replied. "From you receiving your weapons."
Rainbow gasped at this news and smiled excitedly.
"Wow, really!?" Applejack asked.
Splinter nodded. "But before I give you the weapons, you need to know one more thing first." Splinter began to explain. "As I've said before, I've seen your every move and skill, and you really have the ability to fight and combat, both in your human and pony form. You girls kind of know that, as you've fought a lot of enemies. in your world, even without any weapons. These weapons will only serve you when you really need them, you are already good at fighting, the weapons will only be your extra combat item, use them when you think you really need them."
"Yes, sensei." Twilight said.
"Let's start with you first, Rainbow Dash." Said Splinter, this made Rainbow more excited, Splinter gives her two weapons. "These are the Kunais, one of the skills I saw in you was throwing, these weapons are used precisely for that, you will use them to attack and throw them at an enemy."
Rainbow holds the Kunais expressionlessly. "This... is... AWESOME!" She gets excited about her new weapons.
Splinter turns to Applejack and gives her a weapon, which was some kind of rope. "Applejack, this is Kyogetsu-Shoge." Splinter begins to explain. "As you are a cowgirl, one of your greatest skills is the rope, this weapon is used to attack an enemy and mainly tie him up."
Applejack holds her weapon. "Yee-hah! Now that's my style."
Splinter turns to Fluttershy and gives her two little weapons. "Fluttershy, these are the Jittes." Splinter begins to explain. "Although you don't have many combat skills, you have great dodging and defense, these weapons are used to defend against an enemy when he is attacking you, and if you want, you can also use them to attack a enemy."
Fluttershy takes both of her weapons. "Oh, they're... so pretty, thank you, Master Splinter." Fluttershy thanked him.
Splinter turns to Rarity and gives her a weapon, which was a kind of staff, only a little different "Rarity, this is Ko-Naginata, one of her skills was attack, turn and defense using a long weapon.
"Hehe, looks like someone's been imitating Donnie." Rainbow mocked Rarity, which made Rarity a little annoyed, but she ignored it and continued to listen to Master Splinter.
"This weapon is used precisely for that, the difference between it with a normal staff is that it already has a blade to attack an opponent and it is more resistant."
Rarity takes her weapon.
"Wow, Donnie will be very jealous when he sees your weapon, Rarity." Said Applejack.
"Yeah, sure he will." Raph agreed.
"Wow, what a wonderful weapon, it's magnificent!" Rarity admired her weapon.
Splinter turns to Pinkie Pie and gives her two weapons, they were a kind of ropes like Applejack's, only there were two and they were smaller. "Pinkie Pie, these are the Kusaris." Splinter begins to explain. "You are full of energy and sometimes you spin something towards an enemy hitting him, these weapons are used for that."
Pinkie takes her weapons and starts spinning them. "Heheheee, this is so much fun!" Pinkie said happily.
"Looks like someone else has been imitating one of the turtles." Said Rainbow.
"I already expected Pinkie to get a weapon similar to Mikey's." Said Applejack. "She and Mikey are practically the same person."
"And finally" Splinter turns to Twilight. "Twilight Sparkle." He gives Twilight a kind of sword for Twilight. "This is Ninjato, your movements were very similar to a person holding a sword."
"Well, I've kind of been learning that from someone." Twilight explained, and when she said someone she was referring to Leo, she even looked at him.
Splinter explains again: "With those skills of yours, this weapon is your choice, use it very calmly, skillfully, reflexively and intelligently."
Twilight takes out her sword. "Hai, sensei." Twilight thanks you by bowing.
The girls were admiring her new weapons.
"Hey, congratulations girls!" Mikey celebrated.
"Yeah, I have to admit, you girls got some cool weapons." Said Raph.
"Cool? Ha, cool isn't enough, they're awesome!" Said Rainbow.
"Now in the next fight, let's see if you can use your new weapons." Said Leo.
"Ho ho ho, I hope it's soon." Said Rainbow excitedly.
"Guys! Guys!" Suddenly, Donnie appears at the Dojo calling everyone.
"Oh hey Donnie." Pinkie nodded. "Look, we got new weapons."
Donnie ignored what Pinkie said and said. "Guys, you have to come to my lab now!"
"Why? What's wrong?" Leo asked.
"That device Mikey took from that lab is more than I thought, come here." Donnie called everyone and everyone followed him.
Inside the lab, Donnie fiddled with his computer as he explained, "At first I thought this device was just scrap or an unfinished experiment, but it's much more than that." After explaining, Donnie shows the computer what he was trying to show.
On the page of the website that Donnie opened there was a picture of the device exactly like the one they had with big text.
"Look, it's the same device I got!" Mikey said.
"According to what I looked up." Donnie starts to explain. "This device is not just any device, this is a portal device, and unlike several others we've seen, this one is capable of opening portals from any world and dimension, even the most unknown or difficult to open."
"Wow, so you mean this thing can even open the portal to our world?" Twilight asked.
"Like I said, from any world and dimension." Donnie said. "But it's not that simple."
"What are you mean?" Raph asked.
"One other thing that sets this portal device apart from any other we've seen is that it's very dangerous." Donnie explains. "There are several worlds and dimensions in the universe, and many are difficult and almost impossible to travel in them, this device is even capable of opening a portal to these types of worlds, but it needs a lot of force to open, and if this thing forces a lot to opening a portal to one of these worlds, can cause a major catastrophe in the world in which it is being used, in our case."
Everyone was shocked by all this.
"Oh my sweet Celestia!" Fluttershy was shocked.
"Jeez, but who would create such a thing? And who would want such a thing?" Rainbow asked.
"The same one that kidnapped three arrogant girls and attacked us in the same lab this thing was in." Applejack clarified.
"Are you talking about Akemi?" Rarity asked.
"What do you think?" Applejack asked. "After all, what else would that girl be in that lab for?"
"You might be right Applejack." Twilight said. "But the question is, what does she want this for?" she wondered.
But suddenly, everyone hears a small noise, they turn around and see a white ball glowing pink, it was the Krang communicator.
"Oh, what's that glowing ball?" Pinkie asked.
"It's the Krang communicator, and it looks like someone is communicating to us." Donnie said and went to get the communicator.
He takes it to the computer and connects to it, after a few wheezes, the computer screen finally shows who was communicating with them, and everyone is surprised and shocked to see who it was... it was Akemi.
"*Gasp* Akemi!?" Everyone speaks shocked.
"Greetings Turtles and Mane 6." Akemi complies. "Last night you guys got into something that was none of your business, which causes us a little fight."
"Little!? That fight ruined my arms!" Rarity yelled.
"And why are you calling us? Are you finally going to show what's under that hood of yours?" Rainbow scoffed.
"I know what you did that night, you took what I was looking for." Said Akemi.
"It's over Akemi." Twilight said. "We already know what you were looking for, and we have it."
"Yeah, and if you thought you might have called us to return your toy, it's not going to happen." Rainbow scoffed.
"Oh, but you're going to give it back, or else... they're going to pay." Akemi turns the camera and shows April, Casey and Spike who was in April's arms, trapped in a cell with a glass door.
"Twilight!" Spike called desperately.
"Guys!" April called.
"April!" Donnie cried.
"Spike!" Twilight cried.
"Casey?!" Raph asked shocked.
"You took what's mine from me, now I'm doing the same." Said Akemi. "If you want to see your friends and your pet, give me the portal device, if you don't, Master Shredder will take care of them, he'll use them as guinea pigs for his mutations, or worse... He'll make mincemeat on them, and believe me. .. Shredder is not at all interested in using them as mutation test subjects."
The whole group is shocked to hear this, it means that Shredder will kill their friends if they don't do what Akemi says.
"If you want to see your friends alive, meet me at the lab in the Shredder's Lair, and bring the device with you, and no tricks, shutting down." Akemi ends the call.
"Oh my godness oh my godness oh my godness!" Rarity despaired. "What are we going to do?! Akemi took April, Casey and poor Spikey Wikey!"
"Yeah, but we can't just hand this thing over to her, you hear Donnie, this thing is too dangerous." Said Applejack.
"But while our friends!? Do you want them to die in Shredder's hands?!" Rarity asked desperately.
"No, but I also don't want the people of this world to die because of this device!" Said Applejack.
"Okay guys, calm down!" Leo ordered. "The first thing we should worry about right now is rescuing our friends."
"But Leo, Akemi said no tricks." Mikey said.
"And since when do we obey a bad guy?" Raph asked while spinning his Sai.
"So, aren't we going to hand the device over to Akemi?" Rarity asked.
"Not without a fight." Said Applejack.
"Yeah right, she might have taken our friends, but she didn't take our fighting spirit." Said Rainbow as she punched her fists.
"Yeah, and now that we have these new weapons, we super duper are going to let Akemi down." Pinkie said.
"Wait, but Master Splinter said we should use our weapons when we really have to." Said Fluttershy.
"Girl, our friends were kidnapped by guys who fight martial arts, do you think that's not necessary?" Rainbow asked.
Fluttershy thought about it a bit, and just remembering seeing her friends trapped in that glass prison made her a little angry. "No…you're right." Fluttershy said. "Our friends had nothing to do with it, and yet these monsters capture them and plan to do horrible things to them."
"That's the way to talk, Flutters!" Said Rainbow. "So let's kick these guys' butts again!"
"What do you say, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.
Twilight is quiet for a moment, but then she lifts her head, she has her eyes closed and frowning seriously, then she opens her eyes making a serious and angry look and says. "...Let's save our friends, and this world too."
