It's been a few weeks since Spike and his friends had that battle at Dimension X, it was quite a lot learning more about both the Utrom, and Psiona, Spike was still trying to process what he's learned here, this was a lot for them all, Jaqueline is still there for him like always, but with them having to travel through space like this for months, it's taken a hold on Spike, and his mind is still weak, he doesn't know if they'll be able to save Earth from the Triceritons, he just hopes that what they do is enough to save Earth.

Spike was with his mom, Jaqueline and the others on the bridge once more, they were finally making it to their next destination after being told about it from the Utrom, Spike looked at his snake body once again and sighed sadly, he still has trouble accepting he's a mutant now, and he still feels guilt for the people he's killed back on the arena. Psiona can see that he's in stress right now, and she tried finding a way in order to comfort him.

"Are you doing okay my child?" Psiona asked as she got up from her seat and went up to Spike who was looking out into space.

"I'm.. I'm fine mom, it's just been a lot to process for me, knowing that you were a warrior among the Utrom's, the pain you had to go through to find me, and.. what happened with me back at the arena.. I'm.. just scared of what will happen to me.. I almost completely lost my mind like Karai did, and if something happens again.. I don't know if I'll be able to come back..." Spike said with fear as he looked at his snake hands once more, and just felt awful for what he's done.

"What's happened with is is beyond our control son, I never wanted to leave you in Equestria, but the Kraang kidnapped me, I was forced to take whatever measures I can in order to survive, I've killed a lot of Kraang son, but not just Kraang, aliens and monsters that made my name known as the Bringer of Death. I know your scared of losing your mind son, but April and I have powers that are strong enough to keep you stable, we'll find a way to restore you to at least be able to shift somehow between your forms, that much is what we're all hoping for." Psiona assured while she looked over the rest of the crew who nodded respectfully hearing that.

Spike sighed again hearing that, and only looked out the window as they were getting even closer now.
"I just don't know how to handle it, you've had to do this kind of things for years, but for me, It all still feels so recent, and what I did to those people on the arena.. I.. don't know if It'll get any worse then it.. or if I'll really lose myself if this happens again.." Spike said sadly while Psiona put her claw on his shoulder.

"Don't worry son, we'll find a way. We all feel guilt for actions like these, but with the support of others, like me, and your family, we'll always push through them, you just need to find the strength to keep going through, alright?" Psiona asked with a calm look which made Spike feel a bit better.

"I'll.. try mom..." Spike replied sadly as they saw Leo come out of the room after doing some thinking himself.

"Hey how's it going buddy? Everything cool?" Casey asked nervously while Leo walked past them which made Raph knock Casey back a bit in annoyance.

"Leonardo, you've arrived just in time!" Honeycutt greeted which confused him a bit.

"For what?" Leo asked with a curious look.

"My friends, I present to you.. the Cosmic Ocean of Varuna!" Honeycutt announced as they had finally arrived at they're destination which made all of them gasp with awe.

"It's so beautiful..." April said with amazement while Jaqueline was amazed seeing this too.

"There are so many good things about space, and sights like this is definitely one of them.." Jaqueline said with a smile as she stood near Spike.

"It's so awesome, Twilight would be jealous of this sight for sure." Spike said with a chuckle which was definitely true.

"A vast region of liquid nebula in a region of space unlike any other in the universe. Here, within it's depths, lies the second Fragment of the Black Hole Generator. " Honeycutt explained while Leo felt confident in what they need to do now.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's do this!" Leo said with a confident smile.

Their ship had powered up a bit more again and they soon started flying into the nebula to start the mission, but unknown to them, a familiar shark mercenary had followed them from behind, and had tracked them down to this place, Armaggon.
"Time to get me some Turtle and Dragon revenge! And nab me that Black Hole Generator! This is gonna be fun!" Armaggon said with a smirk as he powered himself up before he set off into the nebula as well, following right behind the group.

Everyone was just on the edge of the Cosmic Ocean now, and they were all bracing themselves for what's to come next.
"Here we are, I have no idea whether our computer systems will work, or if we can even survive once we enter the nebula, here we go!" Honeycut said with a happy look which scared everyone else.

"Here we go again.." Psiona said with an annoyed look while everyone braced themselves for this. The ship slowly began making it's way into the Nebula, and due to the intense place around them, it instantly shut down the entire ship which was making it tilt over.

"Honeycutt!" Spike screamed with worry as he tried holding onto Jaqueline.

"Everyone, hold on!" Honeycutt shouted as he quickly powered the ship's shield on, and that finally let them all be able to go through the nebula fully without worry.

"Yeah!" Mikey cheered with joy while he high fived Raph, Leo chuckled with joy and high fived Donnie as well while everyone felt relieved for being able to make it through.

Casey had looked out the front window, and had a look of awe as they saw dozen of space creatures floating through the nebula.
"Whoa.." Casey said with amazement as it looked like they were flying through a giant undersea sanctuary of sorts.

"Varuna is the home of the Daagon, Ancient beings and allies of the Utrom. Who have been entrusted to protect the 2nd Black Hole Generator fragment." Honeycutt explained which was fascinating to them.

"Let's hope they did better then the Aeons" Raph prayed as he didn't want that kind of think to happen again.

"I don't think it will, but let's just be ready for any trouble we may come into alright?" Spike asked while he slithered next to Raph again.

"I hear that." Raph said with a smile while everyone looked at the nebula with amazement.

"This is so amazing.. there is so much space has to offer!" Jaqueline said with joy while she looked out the window near Donnie as well.

"Look out for that freaky electric seaweed!" Raph warned as they were making they're way through electric seaweed which didn't harm they're ship thankfully.

"No need to fret, I'll have us through in 2 minutes and 20 seconds!" Honeycutt assured as they kept on flying smoothly.

"How is it that you always know the exact time like that professor? I know your a robot and all, but still?" Psiona asked with a confused look.

As they were all making they're way through the nebula, Mikey started to notice what looked like the Daagon's themselves, they had they're guard up seeing them, and may be thinking they're a threat or something like that.

"Fugitoid, I know the Daagon's are the Utrom's allies, but do you really think they can help us?" Leo asked with worry as they were starting to be surrounded by them.

"The Daagon are an ancient, noble, and honorable race. So.. I hope so?" Honeycutt replied with a nervous look as all of them were outside the ship in they're spacesuits once again.

"Yeah, REAL assuring right there professor." Spike said sarcastically as they saw more of them surround the ship on those weird mutants the Kraang once had before.

One of the Daagon's slammed it's trident down and it made Leo nervous on how to talk to it.
"Uh.. greetings! We would like to talk to you about.." Leo couldn't even finish his sentence before the Daagon roared at them, and they were all surrounded by more of them who had they're weapons drawn at them.

"Ugh, you really need to warn us about how to communicate with these guys Honeycutt." Jaqueline said with an annoyed look as they were all surrounded, but Honeycutt pulled out a special device that helped show that they were friends.

"Stop my Daagon friends! This is the sigil of the Utrom!" Honeycutt announced as he held the symbol up in the air, and Psiona showed another part of her armor which had the Utrom symbol on it too.

"And I am a close friend of theirs too, we mean no harm." Psiona said calmly which finally made them calm down, and they bowed respectfully seeing them.

"Huh.. I stand corrected..." Jaqueline said with surprise while Spike just shrugged his shoulders and was glad they don't have any trouble right now.

Everyone was now being taken by the Daagon's to what looks like an ancient city hidden deep within the Nebula, Psiona had her armor on fully and was flying right besides the group, and everyone braced themselves as they went into a the city, and they all were in complete awe of seeing how amazing it looked.

"It's like we're in a sci fi movie! It's amazing!" Spike said with awe as this city looked like something from a fantasy story.

Everyone was brought to the very center of the city, and were brought inside a special place that looked to be a throne room of sorts, everyone could fully breath here now, and they all took off they're helmets in order to properly speak.

"Whoa..." Everyone said with amazement as they saw what looked like the queen of this nebula at the top of a large throne.

"Who enters the realm seeking audience with Hiidrala? Supreme Ruler of the Daagon?" Hiidrala asked as she was turning to them who all bowed respectfully to her.

"Leo, try saying something..." Spike whispered to him who tried thinking of what to say.

"Uh.. greetings supreme ruler! My name is Leonardo, and these are my companions." Leo introduced while Mikey looked up for a moment.

"What up?" Mikey said casually which made Raph smack his head to make him go back down.

"We come with the sigil of the Utrom! We seek the Fragment of the Black Hole Generator that you have in your possession!" Honeycutt announced as he held it in the air.

"You may rise." Hiidrala said as she finally looked down at them which made them stand up.

"Thank you your majesty." April said gratefully as she prepared to talk with them.

"The Utrom entrusted the Black Hole Fragment to me, giving Hiidrala ultimate say over it. Are you truly worthy of claiming a device of such devastating power? Who among you is leader? Is it the Bringer of Death?" Hiidrala asked while she looked at Psiona who shook her head in response.

"No I am not, Leo is the leader." Psiona answered while Leo went up to her which confused her a bit.

"Him? He is a mere child compared to the warrior she is, how are you worthy?" Hiidrala asked with confusion.

"We may be young, but we've fought huge battles, saved whole planets, and on top of everything else, we saw the destruction of our world!" Leo explained while Donnie went up to her next.

"We've been given a second chance to save Earth, we're gonna destroy the Black Hole Generator!" Donnie said with a serious look.

"No matter what it takes, we will destroy it!" Spike said with a hiss which only made her laugh in response.

"The weapon cannot be destroyed! Why do you think it was hidden away?" Hiidrala asked while not being fully convinced.

"If you keep the fragment hidden away, the Triceritons will find it. They will tear your kingdom apart to get it." Leo argued back which was concerning for her to hear.

"If you desire the fragment, you must face Cthugga, an ancient being that obeys only me. If you are truly worthy, it will sense this. If not, then you will devour you whole." Hiidrala said with a serious tone.

"As long as we're devoured whole and not chomped to pieces, I think we're cool dudes." Mikey assured while Casey shrugged casually.

"Huh, been there done that." Casey said with a disgusted look at that memory.

"We aren't gonna let that happen again, bring it on!" Spike hissed while the others were ready to go.

"Why do I feel like this is gonna go wrong somehow?" Jaqueline whispered to Psiona who had a feeling about this too.

"Let's just wait until the moment comes." Psiona whispered back while Spike and the others high fived eachother.

After everyone agreed to take this trial, they set out in they're ship again in order to fine Cthugga, Honeycutt was worried about how this may go, and he tried warning everyone of what they're about to face.
"Understand me when I say this, Cthugga, is one of the six cosmic monsters you do not wanna mess with!" Honeycutt warned as they were flying deeper into the nebula by now.

"Man I wonder what it's gonna look like?" Mikey asked himself as he was thinking over what the monster may look like.

"What choice do we have honestly? If the Triceritons do get the piece in the future, that means that not even Cthugga could stop them, we need to get this piece before they do, it may be the only way this kingdom can survive." Spike said with a worried look while Leo thought over it too.

"Spike's right, this is something we all need do do to save this kingdom, but.. what do you suppose it means to be truly worthy?" Leo asked as he and Spike stood at the window again to think over it.

"We all have good and noble hearts. That has to count for something." April answered with a hopeful look.

But before they could think over this more, something crashed directly into the ship which set off the alarms once again.
"What hit us?!" Raph asked with worry as Donnie looked at the computers.

"It's ramming us again, brace yourselves!" Donnie screamed just before they were hit once more which knocked them off balance.

Honeycutt looked through the cameras to see what's attacking them, and they soon saw that it was Armaggon attacking them once again.
"Oh no, Armaggon!" Mikey said with fear as Armaggon lunged at the camera and destroyed it.

"Yes! he's like my favorite bad guy ever!" Casey said with an eager look which wasn't helping them right now.

"Everyone brace yourselves! He's taking aim at us!" Psiona warned as Armaggon flew behind the ship and fired some torpedoes at them, and everyone screamed as the ship was hit extremely hard from the blast, and water started to leak into the ship which made things more worrying.

"Oh my! We're beginning to take on liquid! Activating the forward drain!" Honeycutt announced as he used the ship's features to drain any water that was leaked into the ship so they wouldn't sink. The water was finally drained from the ship, but that didn't stop Armaggon from bursting into the ship, and everyone drew they're weapons as he charged right into the bridge.

"Leo!" Mikey screamed with fear as Leo got hit in the chest by Armaggon and was knocked down to the floor, Armaggon laughed mockingly and stood on top of Leo while Psiona turned her arm into a cannon and aimed it at him once again.

"Well well well, what do we have here? Looks like the whole entree!" Armaggon mocked while he kept on laughing at them.

Spike hissed at Armaggon and was about to try and take him down, but Armaggon grabbed Leo's body and raised it to his suits sharp teeth as a threat.

"One more step and I chomp this chumps head clean off snake! Put your weapons on the ground, now!" Armaggon ordered which gave them no choice but to put them down.

"This isn't over Armaggon." Psiona growled while he kept holding onto Leo.

"I've been spying on you guys for a long time, old Armaggon knows what your up to." Armaggon said with a mocking tone.

"Wait, so then that means you know what we're doing, doesn't it?" Jaqueline asked as she tried holding Spike back from losing it again.

"Of course it does, you've been searching for the Black Hole Generator, I know you've got the first piece, and now you are gonna get me the second piece. Is that a great plan or what?" Armaggon asked mockingly while he put Leo on the ground and pinned him down once again.

"Oh bleep..." Honeycutt swore while Armaggon got in contact with Dregg once again.

"Well Dregg, not only did I catch me some turtles and dragons and a beaver, but I got the first piece of your Black Hole toy!" Armaggon reported which Dregg was glad to hear.

"Excellent work Armaggon! You've most certainly redeemed yourself for all of your past screw ups!" Dregg said mockingly which upset him even more.

"You know what? I'm quadrupling my fee." Armaggon countered back which was upsetting for Dregg.

"You arrogant..." Dregg tried to counter him with another threat, but Armaggon cut him off before he could say anything else while chuckling mockingly.

"Aw snap, it cracks me up when the bad guys bust on eachother." Mikey whispered to the others who agreed with that.

"Classic villain arguments if you ask me." Spike said with a smirk while he kept his focus on Armaggon.

"Alright, get this hunk of junk moving." Armaggon ordered which annoyed Raph from being told what to do.

"Stupid bossy shark.." Raph whispered to himself while everyone was getting ready to move again, even if Psiona could easily deal with him right now, she doesn't wanna risk Leo getting hurt or even killed here, so she has no choice but to follow along with this too.

The ship was moving through the nebula as fast as it could, even with the situation they're in right now, Donnie was fascinated with how much life there is in this nebula.
"Fascinating, an entire planetesimal system in the depths of an oceanic nebula!" Donnie said with awe as they could see so much beautiful stuff from this place.

"The wonders of the universe will never cease." Honeycutt said with awe as well which annoyed Armaggon.

"Will you two nerds shut up already?" Armaggon asked with an annoyed look which made them get back to work.

"We're here. The cave of Cthugga." Honeycutt announced as they were flying through a large asteroid that has a special tunnel in it.

"Armaggon, the only way for us to get the piece, is to prove we're worthy." Leo argued while looking up at him.

"Your gonna risk getting all of us killed, I know you think you can take on everything, but from the sounds of it, Cthugga will not take it lightly seeing you with us." Spike warned which he didn't listen to.

"I'm the one calling the shots here you pest, so move!" Armaggon ordered which made Spike more frustrated hearing this, but he tried using some meditation techniques in order to calm himself down.

"Try to keep control of yourself.. don't lose your mind again.." Spike thought to himself as the ship was now moving through the dark cave which barely anyone could see through.

They turned on the ships light and began floating deeper into the cave in order to find Cthugga, it was extremely dark in this place, and everyone felt extremely tense as there wasn't anything around.

"Everyone, be careful, we're not alone..." Psiona warned as her senses was going off again, even Spike could feel it with how huge it was.

"Mom's right, something big is around us.." Spike said with worry as he held his head in pain.

"It's getting closer guys.. closer!" April said with fear which made everyone more tense. The light soon flashed over what looked like enormous tentacles of the monster itself, followed by loud growling that emerged from the shadows. And soon enough, all of them saw Cthugga fully, and it roared at all of them which made them scream with terror.

"Now would be a good time to retreat!!!" Honeycutt screamed as they quickly turned around while Cthugga started chasing them.'

"At least we know we're not worthy!" Mikey screamed with terror as the monster was trying to grab onto them with it's tentacles.

"Way to blow the mission Armaggon!" Jaqueline said with an annoyed look while they were flying as fast as they could.

"You wanna survive this? Then let our brother go!" Raph argued against him which gave Armaggon no choice but to throw him to his station, and Leo quickly got to work on escaping this thing.

"Fugitoid, we need more speed!" Leo ordered to him who looked annoyed hearing it.

"I'm giving it all she's got captain!" Honeycutt said in a Scottish accent which confused them for a moment.

"Really? Now?" Spike asked with an annoyed look.

"Sorry Spike I couldn't resist." Honeycutt replied with a nervous look. Everyone powered up the ship to take off at faster speeds, and it soon burst out of the cave finally and was flying through the nebula to escape the monster. The ship was moving around widely as they avoided the monster's large mouth, and Raph was feeling sick from all the sudden movements.

"I'm gonna be seasick.." Raph said weakly before he actually puked near Armaggon who was disgusted seeing this. The ship was trying to fly as fast as it could, but the alarms were going off again as it was being scrapped by the asteroids around them.

"The ships gonna be torn apart!" Donnie screamed with terror as Cthugga was right behind them. Everyone screamed with terror as the monster was inches away from the ship, but at the last second, Honeycutt was able to move the ship away right in front of a large asteroid which Cthugga rammed directly into. It soon recovered from it's attack and roared through the entire nebula and went on a search for them.

The ship managed to hide itself in a small crater near another asteroid in order to avoid being seen, everyone held they're breaths as the monster was just around the corner, but soon enough, it finally gave up and left them alone which made them sigh in relief.

"It's gone..." April announced which was great to hear.

"Thank god..." Psiona said with relief while she sat down as the lights came back on finally.

"Whew... What a rush eh guys? Really got my heart going." Armaggon admitted right before he screamed with pain as someone tazed him from behind. And everyone saw that somehow the Daagon had found them after escaping Cthugga.

"Take him to the dungeon!" One of them ordered which made Raph and Mikey laugh at him.

"You got busted!" Mikey said mockingly while he looked at his fact.

"It's off to aquarium jail for you!" Raph mocked as well as he was being taken away by the Daagon.

"Thanks captain.. but.. wait.. how did you know we were in trouble?" Donnie asked with a confused look.

"As soon as Armaggon hijacked the Ulixes, i secretly sent out an SOS, knowing that the honorable Daagon would come to our aid." Honeycutt said proudly while Leo punched the wall in frustration.

"Leo, you can't blame yourself." Raph assured while he felt devastated about this.

"There's no way Hiidrala will think we're worthy now! You can kiss that piece of the Black Hole Generator goodbye..." Leo said with guilt which made everyone feel awful about this.

"Way to @#$%#$% go Armaggon!" Spike hissed to him as he was being taken away, and Psiona did not like hearing her son swear like that in this situation.

"Language son!" Psiona roared which shut him up, he needed to watch his vocabulary for sure now.

Everyone was taken back to the city by the Daagon's while Armaggon was held prisoner for his crimes. Hiidrala was disappointed in they're failure, and especially with seeing Armaggon was with them.

"I will not allow criminal scum to desecrate my ocean paradise! You will pay for your crimes Armaggon. And you, you have all failed. You could not even stop this vile thief, much less pass the test." Hiidrala said with disappointment which annoyed them.

"Blame the criminal!" Jaqueline said with anger while pointing at him.

"Please Supreme Ruler, give us another chance!" Leo begged which only made Armaggon laugh even more which got all of the guards ready for any sudden actions.

"Insolent fool! Explain to me what it is you find so funny!" Hiidrala ordered which made Armaggon reveal his little secret.

"I'm laughing because... reinforcements are here." Armaggon said sinisterly which made everyone gasp with shock.

At that very moment, more of Dregg's forces finally emerged from the water's above, and Dregg himself had entered the place after dealing with two more of the Daagon's.

"Oh no... Lord Dregg!" Donnie said with fear as they all drew they're weapons.

"You gotta be kidding.." Jaqueline said with annoyance while she aimed her weapons at them.

"Hiidrala, you have something I desire! And I intend to take it!" Dregg announced as he clutched his fist.

"I don't know who's worse honestly, Chrysalis, or him." Spike hissed as he saw more of his forces come into the place.

"Hand over the Black Hole Generator piece, or I'll start filleting you, one by one!" Dregg threatened which angered her.

"Lord Dregg, I know who you are. Lowlife gangster and wretched fiend!" Hiidrala countered as she prepared for a fight against him.

"I am the ruler of Sectoid 1! My consumption knows no end! You will give me what I desire, or I and my children, will feast on you all!" Dregg threatened which they found disgusting from the sound of it.

"You need to rethink how you say that." Psiona said with disgust as she aimed her arm cannon at them.

"You will have to face me first to get it, bug!" Hiidrala declared as everyone got in front of her to fight them off.

"That includes us freak!" Spike hissed while he stretched out his snake hands.

"So be it! Vreen.. attack!" Dregg ordered his soldiers who began flying towards the group.

"Take them down!" Leo ordered the group which finally made them start to fight against them.

"Finally, some action!" Psiona said with a smirk as she aimed her canon at them and started blowing off they're heads with great power.

"Daagon, to battle!" Hiidrala ordered her army as well who all began clashing against the Vreen. Spike hissed at the Vreen that surrounded him, Spike took a deep breath before he shot a stream of fire directly to them which made them screech with pain, and Spike followed this attack up by using his snake hands against them, and Spike tore them apart with rage as he still had trouble with his mind.

"I have had enough with you monsters!!" Spike hissed as he bit directly down on one of the Vreen and injected more venom into it, he usually wouldn't do this to anyone, but for these monsters, it's something he doesn't feel guilt for, Spike then drew his plasma sword and quickly sliced through them all easily, and hissed with rage while Jaqueline was shooting more down in the background.

"You don't belong here you disgusting bugs!" Jaqueline shouted as she aimed her blasters at them and shot multiple down at once while the others were fighting them off.

Dregg used this distraction in order to send out a special spider to Armaggon, and it quickly crawled on top of him before it removed the chains holding him down. And as Raph was trying to fight them off, Armaggon rammed directly into them in order to fight against them too.

"Time to get some payback you puny half shells!" Armaggon mocked which angered Raph.

"Shut your jaws, or I'll shut em for ya!" Raph countered while he drew his weapons.

"Yeah, you heard him Armagoon! Bring it!" Mikey declared while they charged at him, Raph slashed against Armaggon's own weapons while Mikey jumped on top of him and smashed against his metal armor. Psiona saw Armaggon was about to counter against them, but she didn't waste a single second before she roared at him and charged directly into him.

"You don't know who your messing with fish sticks!" Psiona roared while she used her strength to slam him through the wall.

Hiidrala screeched at the Vreen who surrounded her and wrapped her large tentacles around them and electrocuted them, but Dregg only laughed mockingly at her while she was caught off guard for a brief moment. Donnie tried to attack him from behind but Dregg was able to hear him and delivered a hard kick to his chest which sent him down to the floor again.
"Donnie!" Leo screamed with fear, he tried getting back at Dregg for this action, but Dregg was only able to grab him with no effort before he started beating Leo down to the floor.

Dregg laughed at all of them once more while Spike used his snake hands to tear down more of the Vreen in the background, Hiidrala was furious with his attacks on her kingdom, and she tried putting him down for good.
"Insolent insect!!!" Hiidrala screamed as she threw all her tentacles at Dregg which latched onto him, and Dregg screamed as he got electrocuted by her like the others.

"You.. will pay for that!" Dregg said with fury as he snapped his claws on her tentacles which made her screech in response. But Dregg sent out another one of his monsters which crawled up her arms before latching directly onto her face to hold her down.

"Now, it ends!" Dregg screamed as he prepared to fire a missile directly at her.

"No! Spike come on we gotta go!" Leo shouted to him who finally took down the last of the Vreen surrounding him.

"On my way!" Spike hissed as he quickly slithered up to Leo who was running up to save her, Spike wrapped his tail around Leo and quickly threw Leo into the air, and he jumped off more Vreen who tried attacking him, Leo made a loud battle cry as he flew directly in between Hiidrala and the missile, and just before it could hit her, Leo took the blast instead which blew both him, and Dregg down to the floor.

"Leo!" Spike screamed with fear as he quickly slithered up to see if he's okay. Hiidrala had enough of this attack by Dregg, and she finally ripped the bug that was on her off before she made a very loud screech which made everyone cover they're ears from how loud it was.

And while everything was silent for a brief moment, the entire place soon began to shake violently, a loud roar was heard from outside which everyone recognized instantly. All the Daagon dropped they're weapons and bowed respectfully, and Donnie dropped his weapon in complete shock of seeing Cthugga again.

"Welp, you guys are screwed now!" Jaqueline shouted mockingly to the Vreen who were all terrified to see the monster. Cthugga roared at all of them and sent his tentacles directly into the area they were fighting in, Spike screamed as he tried avoiding any of them latching onto him.

Armaggon and Dregg tried fighting off this monster, but it was far too large to even harm, and the monsters tentacles wrapped around them both which restrained them.
"Let us go you freak!" Armaggon shouted as he tried biting into it to free himself, but the monster wasn't affected by it at all, and it soon brought the two of them directly to it's mouth before it threw them directly into it. Dregg and Armaggon both screamed with terror as it completely swallowed them whole, everyone was in complete shock of what they just saw, and while it was shocking, it meant that they had won as it finally swam away after eating both of them.

""Aw yeah, that was awesome!" Casey cheered as all of the Vreen started to leave suddenly.

"What's going on with them?" Jaqueline asked with surprise while Spike picked Leo up in the distance.

"They just stopped fighting?" April asked with surprise while Donnie tried figuring this out.

"The Vreen are a hive mind that can't function autonomously. They need Dregg." Donnie explained which did make sense from hearing it.

"How are you Leonardo?" Hiidrala asked as she helped Leo up with Spike's help.

"A little shell shocked, but I'll be okay. Are you hurt ma'am?" Leo asked as he and Spike turned to her.

"I am unharmed thanks to your efforts. You all fought hard to protect our kingdom, and for that, you have our gratitude." Hiidrala said respectfully which was good for them to hear.

"We just didn't want anything bad coming to you, we were willing to put ourselves at risk if it meant you were safe." Spike said respectfully while he slithered back up to Jaqueline.

"I can see that with you two, Leonardo, Spike, your actions validate the truth of your words." Hiidrala said proudly which made her come to a decision. She made a screech to the Daagon in the distance who began bringing them the second piece finally.

"The second fragment of the Black Hole Generator, is yours." Hiidrala said proudly as they dropped it in front of them which was great for them to hear.

"Thank goodness." Psiona said with relief as she went to pick it up herself.

"But Supreme Ruler, we.. don't understand.." Leo said with confusion as they thought Cthugga had the piece.

"The Guardian was only a test, I have kept the second fragment contained within the palace vaults ever since the Utrom entrusted it with us. And now, I entrust it to you." Hiidrala said as she turned to him.

"Thank you Hiidrala, truly." Spike said with a smile while Jaqueline kissed his cheek again.

"Wouldn't have gotten it without everyone's help Spikey." Jaqueline said with a sweet tone which made Spike chuckle nervously.

"If you claim you can destroy this infernal machine, then the Daagon honor you." Hiidrala said respectfully while the Daagon bowed to all of them.

"Thank you your majesty." Leo said gratefully as he, Spike, and everyone else smiled gratefully while Psion carried the thing with one arm in the distance while smiling as well.

Everyone soon made it back to the ship with the second fragment in store.
"All systems are fully functional." Donnie reported while Mikey looked out the window.

"Thanks for the repair mer-dudes! Keep it real up in the field yo!" Mikey said gratefully to some Daagon who learned to fist pump thanks to him.

"Two fragments down, one to go!" Casey said with a proud look while he leaned against the wall.

"So professor, can you really destroy the Black Hole pieces?" Leo asked with a hopeful look.

"That's the plan! I just need.. to figure out.. how to do it.." Honeycutt replied with an unsure look which the others tried to believe.

"Well, we'll see about that." Spike said as the ship was flying away from the nebula.

"That was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I'm actually gonna miss it." April said as she looked out the window to see the place one last time.

"Absolutely, really makes me wonder what else space has to offer." Jaqueline said with awe as she looked out with her.

"Well I'm not gonna miss Bughead and Shark Mouth. That's for sure." Raph said proudly as he was glad they were gone.

"Don't count on it Raph, no matter what happens, they always find a way to come back.." Psiona warned as she felt something was off once again.

And unfortunately, Psiona was right about this, the Vreen had managed to find the cave that Cthugga was hiding in. Dregg's ship had went into the center of the cave and fired dozens of eggs into Cthugga's mouth, and that made it finally cough out the two criminals after they were presumed dead. Dregg laughed sinisterly as he and Armaggon were finally freed once again, and they were soon heading out into space to chase after them.
"Vengeance, will be mine!" Dregg shouted sinisterly while Armaggon flew right besides him, even with the second piece in tow, Spike and the Turtles will have to prepare for what's to come, as things were only getting harder from here..
