One night, in The Pond, Tanya was watching some footage on Drake 1 when Wildwing walked up.
“Whatcha looking at, Tanya?” he asked.
“There was something that was bothering me since we met the Street Sharks.” Tanya explained. “Remember when the drones Dragaunus lend to Paradigm?”
“The ones that were already destroyed? Yeah.” Wildwing recalled.
“I managed to hack the security cameras and my hunch was right. Somebody beat us to them so Dragaunus didn’t double crossed Paradigm! Look.”
Tanya pulled up a video of two armored people fighting the drones while the Ducks along with the others were fighting Dr. Piranoid, Slobster, and Killamari.
Wildwing looked closely at the image of the fighters. “Who are they?”

In Columbus….
One night, at the Platte Prison, a security guard grabbed a cup of coffee and sat back down at his deck to continue his shift when suddenly he was blown away by an explosion from the wall. As he laid unconsciousness, merging from the smoke were two of the Turtles’ old enemies, Tiger Claw and Fishface.
“Don’t get up.” Fishface taunted the knocked-out guard. “We won’t stay long.”
“Focus, Xever!” Tiger Claw growled. “I’ll break our prisoners out! You get their, heh heh, belongings.”
“Of course, Tiger Claw.” Fishface nodded before muttering to himself. “After all this time and still as pushy.”
Tiger Claw grabbed a clipboard and the guards key and went to three different cells.
“You’re coming with us!” he told one of the prisoners he released.
After freeing three prisoners, Tiger Claw led them to the hole while Fishface struggled with what appeared to be a robotic suit.
“Allow me.” One of the prisoners grabbed a watch off the suit and pressed a button, causing the suit to attach to him.
Soon, they were in an armored car driving away from the prison complex. As Fishface drove, Tiger Claw spoke to the prisoners who were dressing into their attire.
“Now, let us get down to business. I am Tiger Claw. You three were chosen by our new benefactor for a special cause.”
He gestured to the armored prisoner, who wore dark blue armor and his helmet looked like a big red eye that covered his face. “Arnold Frippett AKA Deactivation.”
He next pointed to a prisoner wearing a body brace whose face was painted like a skull. He had a black hood, shoulder pads, and robotic claws that made his arms look longer. His chestplate had a tombstone with RIP and a star on it. “Victor Norman AKA The Shine Reaper.”
He then acknowledged the final prisoner, who was the smallest of the three. He was a teenager wearing biking gear and a helmet with an electronic sign on his visor. “And you, The Techno Rider. And I am aware you are mute.”
Techno Rider responded as his visor showed the words ‘Who hasn’t?’.
“And I believe you’ve freed us three specifically for a reason?” Shine Reaper sneered.
“Our benefactor has business involving a young accomplice of yours. Shine Boy.”
Shine Reaper growled at the mention of his nemesis while Tencho Rider’s visor produced a ‘X( Boooooooo!’
“And with Shine Boy, Gamer is nearby.” Deactivation held up his hand which converted into a buzzsaw which wirred a little.
“I trust you will all comply?” Tiger Claw asked.
“I think I speak for all of us when I say you had me at Shine Boy.” Shine Reaper smirked as Deactivation nodded and Techno Rider’s visor produced a death symbol and ‘I’m in!’
“So, what does our benefactor want?” Deactivation asked.
Tiger Claw smirked. “I hope you three like racing.”
----------
“And that is how we ended up here.”
Dragaunus just finished telling his defeat with his new acquaintance, Dark Kat, along with his partners in crime, Dr. Viper and the MechaniKats.
“Shine Boy, you say?” Dark Kat responded.
“That brat and his pep squad robbed us of our victory against our own enemies, The Swat Kats!” Hissed Dr. Viper.
“Sounds like him.” Wraith sighed.
“And I don’t know about any Turtles or Girls, but if they’re with those twerps, then they’re dead!” Mac pounded his fist.
“Especially that brat in the armor!” yelled Molly, still angry about being beaten by Love Shine.
“Yeah? Well get in line!” Siege growled slamming his tail to the ground.
“Perhaps we can help each other get back the four as well as everyone who stands with them.” Dark Kat proposed.
“Promising.” Dragaunus pondered for a bit before Chameleon spoke up.
“Hey Boss! Look at these rides!”
The villains turned to see motorcycles and go carts stylized for them. As they looked at them, a silhouette appeared as a female voice spoke up.
“I trust these are to your liking?”
“Who are you?” Dragaunus asked.
---------
Far away in the Arizona desert, at an archeological dig, workers and volunteers were digging and chipping away at the earth for dinosaur bones. And among them was a sun burned and very sour faced Vern Fenwick, digging at the base of a rock wall.
The young journalist grumbled to himself, "So, humiliated, grounded, and sentenced to community service in this blistering hot dig! Awesome day, Falcon! Awesome day."
Some workers passed by and one pointed at him, "Hey look," he muttered to the other workers. "It's that idiot falcon kid who thought there were turtle monsters in Anaheim!" He and his buds laughed.
Vern heard what they said and his face sadden, "And these guys mock me every waking moment," he sighed. "If failing to expose those Turtle Monsters wasn't bad enough, a lot of my followers switched over to Caitlyn's blog!" Vern gritted his teeth in anger recalling that. "Could things be get any worse?!"
He swung his pick axe hard into the rock wall, then something completely unexpected happened. A huge part of the wall crumbled away alerting everyone on the dig.
"I didn't do it!" Vern said quickly.
When the dust settled, everyone gasped in surprise. Then the lead archeologist of the dig called out, "Quick! Get Dr Benning!"
Later, a jeep pulled up and stepping from it was a man with short dark brown hair and glasses.
"Ah, Doctor Peter Benning," the lead archeologist greeted. "Come see what one of the volunteers just uncovered!"
"I'm a busy man so this better be good," Benning said impatiently.
The lead archeologist led Benning over to the rock wall showed him what had been found. There, embedded in the wall, was what looked like the door to a spaceship.
Benning inspected it before he said, "Who's the volunteer that found this?"
"That would be me," Vern stepped forward. "Vernon Fenwick, aka the Falcon!"
"Well, Mr the Falcon, let me be the first to tell you that this find... is the most pathetic excuse for a hoax I've ever seen!" Benning spat.
"Wait what?!" Vern gasped. The other volunteers and even the lead archeologist were surprised by Benning's rude comment.
"You expect me to believe that this is an archeological find?" Benning continued to criticize. "This looks like a prop from a lame si-fi movie!"
"But-but it's not-" Vern stuttered unable to come up with anything.
"I was brought out here to see an amazing discovery, not a movie set!" Benning snapped. "The only thing amazing here, is how incredibly incompetent this useless dope is! And how idiotic you people were for believing him!"
Some of the volunteers frowned at Benning's very rude remarks while Vern looked upset.
"I have half a mind to sue you for wasting my valuable time! Good day!" Benning was about to leave when the lead archeologist stopped.
"Hold on, Mr Benning," he said. "I-I admit that I don't know much about movies, but this does not look like a prop to me. And it would very illogical to dismiss this find without further investigation."
Benning sighed, "Well, I suppose if I need to spell out the inconvenience of your dunce volunteer, very well!" He begrudgingly walked back to the door. Then he began feeling all over it when it suddenly opened. The archeologists and volunteers awed at what happened while Benning just rolled his eyes.
The lead archeologist shined a flashlight as he, Benning, and Vern walked through the door. Inside, they saw what looked like the inside of an alien spaceship.
"Astonishing," the lead archeologist breathed. "Dr Benning, surely this is no hoax of any sort?"
"Please, I've more realistic space props made by college amateurs," Benning scoffed.
Soon they spotted another door. Benning touched a panel screen and the door opened up. The He, the lead archeologist, and Vern entered a large circular room. Inside, lining the walls, were big pod chambers.
Benning walked up to one of them and rubbed off some of the dust from it. Inside was some kind of creature but it was too dark from him to see what it was.
Then the man noticed a larger panel screen table close by and touched it. When he did, a holo screen popped up with strange symbols and lettering. The lead archeologist and Vern noticed and came over.
"What's that?" Vern asked.
"Don't know, don't really care," Benning replied dryly.
"It appears to be some form of other worldly language," the lead archeologist theorized.
Then before he could stop him, Benning pressed a big symbol on the screen and more symbols flashed. Benning then started pressing more, unaware that all the pod chambers behind them all started to open.
Inside one of them, another creature's eyes shot open.
"Dr Benning," the lead archeologist spoke. "I don't think you should be touching those symbols. We have no idea what might happen?"
"Are you kidding?" Benning asked rhetorically. "You can't possibly still be buying into this stupid movie-" he was cut off by a loud growl. "Set?"
"What was that?" Vern asked nervously.
Slowly, the three turned around. They saw that three of the chambers were opened all the way and out stepped three large creatures. Slowly, the lead archeologist shone his flashlight on them and he, Vern, and Benning yelped in shock.
The light had revealed the creatures to be three large and very vicious looking humanoid raptors!
One was magenta with yellow markings and yellow eyes. A tank was strapped to it's back that was connected to two spray gauntlets attached to it's wrists.
Another was dark red with yellow eyes and had a metallic tail covered in blades.
The final raptor was sandy orange with light yellow stripes and green eyes. It wore a mechanical mouth brace and carried a blaster gauntlet.
Then the raptor spoke, "What have we here?" He said.
"What the heck are those things?" The dark red raptor asked.
The magenta raptor sniffed, "Judging by their smell, I'd say their mammals."
"Not like any mammals I've ever seen," the orange raptor stated. "And they won't be missed!" He raised his blaster and fired at the three humans.
They screamed and ducked as the blast hit the wall in a big explosion.
"Every man for himself!" Vern cried as he ran out the door.
Benning and the lead archeologist quickly followed. But once they were out, the archeologist rappidly pressed the panel screen until the door closed. However, green acid-like substance blasted through the door, making a large hole that the raptors came out of.
Then they grabbed the lead archeologist. His scream was heard followed by a loud crunch. But Vern and Benning didn't look back as they fled outside.
"Run for your lives!" Vern shouted. "Raptors!"
He cries were soon followed by the orange raptor's blaster shots, causing everyone to scream and run away.
The three raptors soon stepped out into the sunlight and looked around.
"Where are we?" The magenta raptor questioned.
"I believe we're still on Earth," the orange raptor guessed. "Though everything looks different now."
The dark red raptor spoke, "Yeah, it's crawling with those hairless mammals!" He held out the lead archeologist's hat. "That one mammal sure was tasty thought."
"Let's have a look around," the orange raptor said and they headed off, but not before he blasted Benning's jeep, blowing it up.
Then dark red raptor held up his gauntlet and green blades appeared. Then he slashed at the jeep cutting it in half. And finally, the magenta raptor opened it's mouth, revealing a nossel, and shot out acid at the jeep, melting it.
Meanwhile, back inside the room, the other pods had opened and out came four humanoid dinosaurs. A t rex, a triceratops, a stegosaurus, and a pteranodon.
The t rex heard the explosion from the raptor's blaster and spoke, "Sounds like the raptors are at it again." He turned to the others. "Guys, let's take these raptors down!" Then he let out a loud roar.
