Evil Triumphs

Chapter 6: Evil Triumphs

The three turtles knew they had to do something but how can they? Considering that what we're seeing is a vision from the alternate past that Tavarious made with dark magic.

"How are we going to stop Mencius and Tavarious? We can't let them win" Donnie spoke in deep concern for Mikey.

"It won't be that simple...They made a future where they are victorious over Michelangelo" Raphael grunted in dismay.

Leonardo turned to Magus and pleaded: "Answer us one thing, Magus; Is our Mikey in this terrible world still alive?"

"I can only show you what happened after that event...what led to the way both worlds are now" Magus replied.

He shows one last vision where Mikey was founded by the Magerias and trained under Nova's guidance and like before in the past, Alvaro didn't trust Mikey due to him being a mutant with no skills or training as the Chosen Magus.

Eventually the difference being this time is that Mencius found the hideout on his own, having memories of the other time-line with Splinter joining in the ambush.

Michelangelo used his powers to help the Magerias escape since Alarik is dead and is not the Ancient One pretending to be an ally to help the Magerias escape.

Only Nova and Alvaro remained behind as Michelangelo confronts Mencius and his Robot-calypse army that stood proudly once more in this alternate timeline.

"You have nowhere to run, boy; surrender and your life will be spared" Mencius demanded.

"You think I'm foolish to do that, Mencius; you're a tyrannical dictator who would rather kill than to negotiate" Mikey spat at Mencius.

"You're one to talk...you murdered your brothers and the Ancient One in cold blood" Mencius sneered.

"You didn't tell us that part, mutant" Alvaro snapped at Mikey.

"He told me and it was a terrible accident but I know Michelangelo never meant any real harm, I can sense his guilt and sorrow in him" Nova defended Mikey, even though he didn't even kill the said victims.

"Michelangelo, please; come home with me" Splinter begged.

"I don't have a home and I don't need you...All of my life, you blame me for what happened and you shut me down like a beaten child locked in a room" Mikey vented angrily at Splinter.

"You're a horrible father, Splinter...I should've taken Michelangelo with me after that night but I'd feared I put him in more danger" Nova angrily accused Splinter.

Splinter looked down as he recently began to feel shame for his actions...maybe if Splinter acted differently or was a better father, none of this would have happened.

"Enough talk...So are you going to surrender or die?" Mencius threatened.

"Come at me and it'll be your last mistake" Mikey threatened back.

"So be it" Mencius smirked wickedly at Mikey before he turned to his right-hand commander, Carnage, leader of the Robot-calypse:

"Kill him,"

"Wait, no!!" Splinter cried out as he was held back by the other members of the Robot-calypse.

Carnage opens fire but the magical turtle is quick to dodge the bullets thanks to his powers before he manages to halt the bullets from hitting him as seen in a certain movie he liked.
