Chapter 1: New Conflicts

In the bizarre, strange reverse reality of Dimension X, based on one of the many floating metallic asteroids was a massive Kraang base. Deep inside the base were at least five hundred Kraang droids. Their numbers had severely dropped since the Turtles and the Utrom had invaded their base, capturing several Kraang and turning them back into Utrom.

Many Kraang then soon formed a long military-like line as what appeared to be a human girl walked towards it. She had the appearance of the human known as Irma, who had formerly been April O'neil's best friend. However, her body then began to shift and open to reveal a massive mechanical body, and in the center of it was none other than the second-in-command of the Kraang forces.

"You guys are as dumb as a pile of rocks!" Kraang Sub-Prime exclaimed angrily. "How hard is it to find four, stinkin' turtles?!"

"The ones known as the Turtles have proven to be difficult to locate, due to that which is known as the scanners not being very operational." One Kraang replied.

"Also, the defeat at the hands of the ones known as the Turtles and the Utrom has shortened those that are known as resources and numbers." Another Kraang added.

"Oh for the love of-!" Kraang Sub-Prime sputtered, about to lose his temper when another Kraang droid at the central controls got his attention. It was thanks to the Turtles that he had been trapped in the Primary Turtle reality. It was only thanks to his supreme genius that he managed to get back.

"Attention, Kraang Sub-Prime." The droid spoke. "Kraang has located the ones known as the Turtles in a dimension that is inhabited by those that are known as dinosaurs, specifically in a valley the locals seem to call 'The Great Valley'."

To show emphasis, a small pink triangular portal opened in front of Sub-Prime, giving an areal view of the Great Valley.

"Excellent." Kraang Sub-Prime grinned maliciously. "How long until we're ready?"

"That which is known as the invasion force will be in that which is known as the invasion of the Great Valley will be ready within the time frame of twenty-four hours." A Kraang droid replied.

"Perfect." Sub-Prime's grin grew even wider. "Not only will we finally destroy those good-for-nothing turtles, but we also get to conquer another dimension!"

Sub-Prime threw back his head as his laughter echoed through the Kraang base.

It was a bright afternoon in the Great Valley as Littlefoot and his friends played a little game where they bounced a small rock around like a ball. It had at least two weeks since they let Chomper go out with his parents into the Mysterious Beyond. And while they did miss him greatly, they held on to hope that they would one day see them again.

"Me got it! Me got it!" Petrie called as Littlefoot hit the rock into the air. Unfortunately for him, the rock was far to big as it knocked him out of the air, sending him crashing to the ground. "Me miss it." He groaned.

"Go, Spike!" Ducky cried from atop Spike's head. The young spike-tail nodded with a grunt as he pounced on top of the rock.

"Did you get it, Spike?" Ducky asked excitedly as she got down from Spike's head. Spike simply lifted his body up, revealing the rock to be buried into the earth. "Yup, yup, yup! You got it!"

"Don't worry, I've got another one!" Cera exclaimed, getting another rock from a nearby pile. She then tossed it into the air and hit it over to Littlefoot. The young long-neck grinned playfully as he chased after the rock as it rolled down the hill. Littlefoot was about to reach the ball when a foot stomped down on it before he could get it.

Littlefoot frowned as he looked up to see three older dinosaurs looking down at the Gang with smug grins.

"Hi, Hyp!" Littlefoot said cheerfully as the others joined him. "Can we have our rock back?"

Hyp's smug grin remained on his face as the Hypsilophodont picked up the rock in his hand. "Your rock? Who said it was your rock?" Hyp mockingly replied.

"Yeah, who said it was your rock, huh? Who said? Who said?" Nod the Nodosaurus repeated.

Hyp then looked to the third member of his little gang, waiting for him to say something as well. It took a few moments for Mutt the Muttaburrasaurus to finally register the silent message.

"Oh," Mutt said. "uh... yeah!"

"Well, gee, no one." Littlefoot replied. "We were just playing with it."

"Just give us back out rock, Hyp!" Cera snapped, stepping forward.

"But I didn't hear you say 'please'."

"That's because I didn't!" Cera growled angrily.

Hyp responded to the action with a growl of his own as the two glared daggers at each other. Meanwhile, Littlefoot, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike were now starting to become a bit nervous about the situation. The last time they saw Cera get into a physical with anyone was with Littlefoot and Raphael on their journey to the Great Valley. Littlefoot himself had seen first hand how vicious she could be in a fight. But Hyp, like Raph, was much bigger and older than she was, at least Littlefoot was the same age and roughly the same size as he was.

"What's going on here?"

The Gang turned around and their faces lit up.

Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo approached the group. Leo, Raph, and Mikey had all been sparring by the lake while Donnie was fixing the Shell-Former when they heard their young friends arguing with someone. And needless to say, they were not happy to see Hyp and his little gang again.

"What are you doing here, Hyp?" Mikey questioned as the Turtles all glared.

"Oh, not you guys again." Hyp groaned.

"Nice to see you remember us." Donnie replied, his voice thick with sarcasm. "What have we told you about picking on our friends?"

"You don't control us, shell-back." Nod said bluntly.

"No, we don't." Leo said, giving Hyp and his gang a cold stare. "But our friends are under our protection. You mess with them, you answer to us. Now give them back their rock."

"And what are you gonna do if I don't?" Hyp mocked.

Raph growled lowly, already losing his patience with the Hypsilophodont. "Listen, jerk-face," He threatened, jabbing Hyp in the chest with his finger. "Unless you want a nice pummeling, you'll give our friends their rock back!"

Sensing tensions were growing between the Turtles and Hyp's gang, Littlefoot decided to interfere. "Hey, maybe we can all play together!"

Hyp almost seemed to consider this for a moment. "What do you think, guys?" He asked his two friends rhetorically. "Want to play with these babies?"

The Gang sharply looked up when they heard the insult.

"Babies?!" Cera shrieked. "Who's he calling babies?!"

"Us." Ducky timidly replied.

"We're not babies!" Mikey retorted. "We may be kids, but we're not babies! Heck, me and my bros are way older than you guys!"

"Yeah, but you still like to hang out with these runts." Hyp said. "Why don't you guys hand out with the cool kids for once?"

"Define 'cool'." Donnie stated dryly. "And no thanks."

"Well, that's your loss." Mutt mocked.

The Turtles all simply glared at the Muttaburrasaurus.

However, before they could continue arguing, there was a low rumbling sound as the ground began to shake violently.

"Whoa!" Hyp cried as the group looked around while also trying to keep their balance. "What's that?!"

"I-it's an earthshake!" Cera cried.

However, when Donnie looked up to the sky, he saw several rocks that were on fire come shooting down from the sky like fiery rain. "No, meteor shower!"

Everyone looked to the heavens and gasped as they too saw the asteroids come down. "Take cover!" Leo shouted.

Completely forgetting about their feud, the two gangs immediately set off running in opposite directions. While Hyp and his gang sprinted off in a panic, the Gang each split up as they tried to desperately to find cover from the falling comets.

The Turtles and Littlefoot immediately dashed back to Grandma and Grandpa Longneck as well as the Shell-Former, narrowly avoiding rock-slides and falling trees. Soon they came to the lake, where they Littlefoot's Grandparents and the Shell-Former waiting for them. Acting quickly, the Turtles got into the Shell-Former and shut the doors while Littlefoot snuggled closely to his grandparents as they got down to avoid the meteors.

Eventually though, the shaking eventually stopped. Feeling that it was over, the Turtles all breathed a sigh of relief before they stepped out of the Shell-Former.

"Is everyone okay?" Raph asked as everyone gathered together.

"We're alright, Raphael." Grandma Longneck said reassuringly. "It seems the danger has passed."

"What was that?" Littlefoot questioned. "An earthshake?"

"No." Donnie told them. "That was a meteor shower." Littlefoot and his grandparents turned to the purple clad turtle, clearly confused. "Meteor showers are these rocks that come down from space, which is beyond the sky, into our atmosphere and striking the Earth."

Though a bit confused, Littlefoot and his grandparents seemed to somewhat understand the concept.

"Whoa, dudes!" Mikey exclaimed, pointing to the sky. "Check out the pretty colors!"

Looking up to the sky, the group saw a large aurora streaking across the sky, the heavens like waves of golden light. The group couldn't help but look in wonder as the waves stood out among the twilight lit sky, seeming to sparkle with streams of ruby red lights.

"It's beautiful!" Littlefoot said in amazement.

"Yes, Littlefoot," Grandpa Longneck sighed as he gazed up at the sky, "Beautiful and mysterious. As is so much in our world."

Leo looked out to the horizon and noticed the sun was setting, turning the sky a warm orange hue. "Sun's going down." The blue clad turtle stated. "Let's get some rest. We'll see what the damage is tomorrow."

The group quickly agreed as they settled down near the lake, too tired to carry on the conversation. As the sun disappeared behind the Great Wall and the sky began to grow dark, the elder long-necks plodded over to their nesting place. Littlefoot wandered over to his nest and plopped down next to his grandparents, curling into a small ball as he did.

The Turtles walked back into the Shell-Former, closing the ramp door behind them as they settled down in their makeshift bunk-beds. It was almost hard to believe how much happened in just a few minutes. Heh, kind of ironic. They found a place where they could still settle down peacefully for a while, and yet trouble still had a strange way of finding them.

With a few tired yawns, the Turtles closed their eyes and let themselves drift to sleep.

Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry this took so long. I had a bit of a hard time writing this, but I hope you like this!
