Hiroki meditated for a bit before his mission. He just sat in the middle of the room, breathing in and out slowly, settling his nerves. Once done, he opened his eyes and stood up. \u201cHere we go,\u201d he said. As he was leaving, Xiomara kissed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood luck, mi amor,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlways, my dear,\u201d replied Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOto-san,\u201d called Sora. \u201cIf you need hope, don\u2019t hesitate to call me or Gabriella, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWill do, son,\u201d promised Hiroki. He headed out to meet his team, consisting of Agus, Barbara, Elgrad, Endea, Fordelam, Jazz, Katrina, Laserbeak, Leemii, Michael, Nightbird, Pestilence, Ravage, Shade, Shockwave, Silver, Sweemar, Teefmanam, Tom, Twaldar, and War. \u201cMinna, we\u2019re the last team,\u201d he said to everyone. \u201cWe NEED to secure Order and her Source. And once we do\u2026we\u2019ll frustrate the Author\u2019s plans even further. And we WILL win! I can see it!\u201d Everyone cheered at the speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRift\u2019s open for T-M-N-T!\u201d called Rosadera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMinna, ikuze!\u201d called Hiroki. Everyone followed him into the rift!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team ended up in New York City, Times Square specifically. It was nighttime, but that didn\u2019t really matter for the City That Never Sleeps. People saw the rift! \u201cALIENS!\u201d yelped one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be those Triceratons!\u201d said another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo way! That was a portal!\u201d replied a third. \u201cIt\u2019s another Utrom invasion! Kraang must have sent them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI though Ch\u2019Rell was in charge!\u201d called a fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we better get out of here!\u201d Jazz advised Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMinna, hide!\u201d called Hiroki. Everyone ran from the gathering mob to find some cover. They found it in an abandoned garage with enough space for all Transformers to rest in vehicle mode and switch on their holo-forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Triceratons?\u201d muttered Nightbird as everyone caught their breath. \u201cUtrom? \u2026I swear I heard those words before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSame here,\u201d replied Agus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll figure out that mystery later,\u201d said Hiroki. \u201cRight now, we need to get information on Order and her Source. \u2026And I\u2019m sorry to say, my Transformer friends, your alt-modes are too advanced for this era. This is definitely 21st<\/sup> century New York.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTovarishchi,\u201d said Ravage, \u201cI\u2019ve found a news article from about a week ago.\u201d He started reading the online article\u2019s title aloud. \u201c\u2018Y\u014dkai Mafia panic city! Police Shakeup as Big Mama Joro strikes again!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBig Mama Joro? Y\u014dkai?\u201d asked Hiroki. \u201cWait, so they\u2019re NOT just myths from my home?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot in this universe, apparently,\u201d replied Ravage. \u201cBig Mama Joro is the head of a whole Mafia gang consisting of Y\u014dkai. Like many of Asian descent, Y\u014dkai are the subject of mockery, so the Y\u014dkai Mafia was formed in an attempt to protect Y\u014dkai. But, nowadays, they\u2019re giving the impression that all Y\u014dkai are criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGreat, more racism to deal with,\u201d muttered Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA staple of the human race,\u201d remarked Shockwave, \u201cand not exclusive to straight, white, male Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Explain the Organiphobes in our respective factions,\u201d replied Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow\u2019s not the time to discuss this,\u201d interjected Hiroki. \u201cWe need to find Order and\u2026War?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSomeone\u2019s in here with us,\u201d replied War. Everyone stood up and the Riders brought their belts out\u2026which were promptly knocked out of their hands by kunai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Ninjas. Lovely,\u201d muttered Hiroki. He was then grabbed from behind and pulled into the shadows. Everyone else assumed a combat form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hiroki managed to wiggle himself free in the shadows and face his attacker. \u201cIf you\u2019re a ninja that runs wild like Shuriken Sentai-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?! Dude!\u201d protested the ninja in a distinctly surfer-dude voice. \u201cNo way! Those guys are a TERRIBLE Sentai team! And terrible ninjas!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Okay, but now your accent-.\u201d Hiroki didn\u2019t get very far as he had to leap out of the way of the ninja\u2019s nunchucks. \u201cQuestions for later!\u201d Hiroki fought off his attacker as best he could. He then grabbed his attacker\u2019s full-face mask and yanked it off. \u201cAll right, let\u2019s see who you are, you c-c-c-c-k-k-k\u2026\u2026\u2026KAME?!\u201d Looking right at him was a green turtle\u2019s head complete with beak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you got that right,\u201d said the turtle. \u201cYou know how many people call me a Kappa? Do I have a pie dish on my head?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait a minute\u2026ninjas\u2026humanoid turtles\u2026you have nunchuks\u2026\u201d Hiroki then looked at the mask and saw orange highlights around the eye holes of the mask. \u201c\u2026Michaelangelo?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026You\u2026know me?!\u201d yelped the turtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I think our teams made a big mistake!\u201d Hiroki rushed out to see his team fighting two other ninja turtles, one with two katanas and blue around the eye holes, the other with a bo staff and purple around the eyeholes. \u201cMINNA! YAME!\u201d shouted Hiroki. The fighting stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStop?! What for?! We were just attacked!\u201d protested Silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy a team that thought us a threat to the people they\u2019re protecting in the first place!\u201d replied Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, bros,\u201d Michaelangelo addressed his teammates, \u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019re bad guys here. We just got a mondo misunderstanding here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re sure about that?\u201d asked the bo-wielder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDonnie, this is Mikey we\u2019re talking about,\u201d said the katana-wielder as he sheathed his weapons. \u201cHe\u2019s the guy in tune with emotions. He\u2019s our best read on the subject. Even Raph turns to him at times.\u201d The katana-wielder then removed his mask. \u201cI\u2019m Hamato Leonardo, and these are my brothers, Michaelangelo and Donatello.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, dudes and dudettes!\u201d called Michaelangelo. The bo-wielder, Donatello, removed his mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSalutations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026No way!\u201d realized Tom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes!\u201d replied Hiroki. \u201cUniverse T-M-N-T!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen this is the home universe for the Adolescent Genetically altered Shinobi Terrapins,\u201d remarked Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe just met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!\u201d cheered Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe I just said that,\u201d said Shockwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, you\u2019re NOT Kraang\u2019s minions or Foot Ninjas?\u201d asked Leonardo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, but our quest DOES lead us across the multiverse,\u201d replied Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In another part of the city, a Japanese businessman and his elegantly-dressed wife approached their limo. They were known as Mr. and Mrs. Oroku, heads of the New York Branch of the Technological Cosmic Research Institute. On the surface, they did much for their American home. But, much like their marriage, it was all a front. Mr. Oroku kissed his wife as he helped her into the limo, but there was no love in either of their eyes. Mr. Oroku sat in the limo after he helped his wife into it. \u201cThe office,\u201d he directed the driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAway we go, Mr. O!\u201d replied the driver. The Orokus blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026\u2018Mr. O\u2019?\u201d asked Mrs. Oroku. \u201cSampson?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, Sampson had a little\u2026accident.\u201d The limo driver then shimmered and turned into\u2026well, the Orokus could only assume some form of green person. The person hit the gas and sped through New York! An impressive feat, given the traffic there that particular Friday night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right, mister!\u201d snarled Mrs. Oroku as her teeth sharpened and dripped with a vile, green liquid. \u201cI don\u2019t know what your gimmy-game is, but I promise you\u2019ll pay dearly for this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re dead, DO YOU HEAR ME?!\u201d roared Mr. Oroku as he slipped on a pair of blades mounted to the back of his hand. He punched through the window separating him from the driver and yanked on the steering wheel. The limo went careening into a junkyard, then was surrounded! The person unlocked the limo\u2019s doors and Mr. and Mrs. Oroku jumped out. The attackers stepped into the light to reveal Deceptitran, Rodimus Unicronus, Sideways, and Straxus in robot mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, lovely, some of those\u2026those Shape-formers to rip limb from limbity-limb!\u201d said Mrs. Oroku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTransformers,\u201d corrected Mr. Oroku. \u201cPossibly of that Decepticon variety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot DECEPTI-cons,\u201d corrected the green person, Tormo, as he stepped out of the limo. \u201cTERROR-cons. I do apologize for this, Oroku Saki and Oroku Kumiko\u2026or rather, Shredder and Big Mama Joro, but I believe I have a deal for you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hiroki meditated for a bit before his mission.
