The Golden Dimension
A blinding light swallowed the Turtle Base. When it faded, the six stood in a strange chamber of glowing walls and humming panels.
Donatello frowned. “This isn’t teleportation… it’s more advanced.”
Leonardo drew his blade. “Stay sharp.”
Raphael groaned. “Great. From home to a sci-fi funhouse.”
Michelangelo grinned. “Dudes, this is Star Fighter X! I call comic relief.”
April studied the walls. “No marks, no sound. Feels fake.”
Casey cracked his knuckles. “Whoever built this freak show’s about to meet my stick.”
Splinter raised a calming hand. “Patience. This is no accident.”
The walls dissolved into a golden city of towers, vines, trains and streets alive with humans, mutants, and biomechs.
Michelangelo gaped. “Paradise! Dumplings included!”
Donatello scanned. “Impossible… timelines merged, yet peaceful.”
Raphael folded his arms. “Too perfect.”
April’s eyes softened. “…It’s everything we’ve fought for.”
Splinter warned, “Even paradise casts shadows.”
A blur struck—an older mutant turtle with scarred shell and glowing war fans.
Raphael bristled. “Since when did we get a cousin?”
April whispered. “She’s like you.”
She gave her name: Lia Wild, guardian of this world.
In her dojo, Donatello accessed an Utrom database, then froze. “It’s a match… she’s our mother.”
The dojo went silent. Raphael snarled, “No way.” Mikey’s cheer faltered. “…Mom? But we never had one.” April whispered, “All these years…” Casey muttered, “Your whole past—upside down.”
Splinter stepped forward. “If this is true, destiny has led us here. Blood is powerful, but so is choice.”
Footsteps entered. A tall turtle bowed. “Jun Wild. My sister has carried this long enough.”
With him came Rachel, Tanya, Makayla. Each carried their own aura. Raphael muttered, “…There’s a whole clan of you?” Jun answered, “We are family. And so are you.”
The Children Arrive
Nearly a dozen young turtles poured in—Kaito standing proud, Emi clutching a paintbrush, Sora tinkering with a gadget.
Michelangelo gasped. “Dudes… we’ve got cousins!”
Ren ogled Raph’s sai. “Real blades! My dad never lets me!” Raph nearly choked. “Kid, don’t touch that!”
Ayame nudged Donnie. “You’re the brainy one? Perfect.” Donnie flushed, impressed. “She’s fourteen and already speaking override code…”
Casey whistled. “This isn’t a family tree… it’s a forest.”
Splinter’s Reaction
Watching the siblings and children, Splinter’s eyes softened. “My sons… you were never without blood, only without knowledge. The universe now seeks to heal.”
Leonardo’s voice was tight. “Master… everything we knew is different.”
Splinter placed a hand on him. “You are still who you are. These new bonds may enrich your future.”
April’s Wonder, Casey’s Shock
April marveled at the kids. “Artists, inventors, warriors… not just survivors, but a community.”
Casey rubbed his neck. “All this time we thought you four were the last. Turns out half of Japan’s related.”
Mikey hugged Daichi and Hana, eyes shining. “I can’t believe it… we fought for family, and now we’ve got a mega-family!”
