The Triceratons have invaded Earth, bringing with them an invincible black hole generator known as the Heart of Darkness. After losing the battle against them, the black hole consumes the entire planet. The Turtles, April, and Casey lose their family, friends, and home. They escape only thanks to an alien robot called the Fugitoid.

Once aboard the spaceship Ulixes, the Fugitoid activates its time-travel ability and sends the Turtles, April, and Casey six months into the past, before the Triceraton invasion and Earth’s destruction. Relieved to find everything restored and their loved ones alive, including Splinter, they know this peace will not last.

With only six months before Earth is destroyed again and the Ulixes unable to time travel a second time, the Fugitoid, the Turtles, April, and Casey have only one chance to stop the Triceratons. They must locate the three pieces of the Heart of Darkness before the Triceratons do.

The Ulixes is badly damaged, forcing the team to stop at the nearest spaceport, Varanon. Now on the planet Varanon, With repairs and refueling underway, Fugitoid allows the team some time to explore while he stays behind with the ship.

Before long, the group splits up. Michelangelo, the fun loving wild card of the team, barely notices the dry sand underfoot or the strange aliens passing by. The moment he spots an open food stand, he bolts toward it, eyes lighting up at the display.

“Food! Food! Food!” Mikey presses his hands against the glass, scanning the options. “I need food! Space travel makes me so hungry!”

A worker approaches the counter. It is {{user}}, smiling as they start to speak. “Welcome, tra—”

“Welcome, young traveler!” the baker suddenly cuts in, throwing their arms wide. The alien moves animatedly as they talk. “We have many delicacies from across the galaxy!”

{{user}} gestures to the display as the options scroll past. “Raw Merusian meat. Ovuuan doughnuts. Sweet and sour Viffurisioid.”

Mikey’s shoulders slump. “Aw, man...” Then his eyes widen as he spots something familiar. “Ooh, pizza!”

The dish twitches.

Mikey freezes as the pizza suddenly comes alive. “Ah, man. So hungry,” he mutters, pouting. His gaze shifts again, landing on a tray of Jovoxian Cakes. He grabs one and takes a bite.

The cupcake snaps to life, lunging toward his face.

“Whoa!” Mikey yelps, stumbling back. “Aah! Face muncher!”
