TMNT (1987) Fan-Fiction Continuation, 'Titanus Strikes'

[MikeandRaph87]

Some years ago I wrote a fan fiction continuation of the original cartoon and set it three months after "Divide And Conquer". I attempted to create a tone between seasons 7 & 8 feel having focus on continuity, characterization, and character interaction. I wrote 33 additional episodes to the series attempting to write it the way not just what I would have wanted to see, but fellow fans as well. This is the first of them, 'Titanus Strikes!'. Shortly, I will release the second one.


Season 11
194/1. Titanus Strikes- Titanus, Tempestra, Krakus. Gadget Man and Dregg appear in flashback only. Channel Six News cast resumes. The TMNT have gotten lazy as there has not been much crime to stop and the knowledge that Splinter taught them everything he know. Splinter questions his pupils laziness only to inform them he meant they were taught every move he knows, but that does not make them full pledged ninjas. They have to perfect everything they now know.

Titanus was able to rewire a monitoring bracelet from his banishment to the past and transport himself to present day on a stop to his time to get revenge on the city for rejecting his ideal society first. Krakus alerted to Titanus's breaking out of his prehistoric exile arrives. The TMNT are alerted to his arrival on the news.

When going to find Krakus they notice dark clouds lower than usual moving towards Hudson Bay Harbor.

Titanus has concocted a mutagenic property that will transform most of New York City into mutants similar to his followers in H.A.V.O.C. As he attaches a timing device to a volcano that he attached the mutagenic formula inside to explode to give it maximum range over the city from the Manhattan isle. He is approached by Tempestra who materialized from the dark cloud overhead. She is his first successful mutant experiment. A disgraced weatherwoman who wanted to show she was not a joke and can predict and create the weather and Titanus took her in and gave her that ability as Temprestra. Her only weakness is her electricity is absorbed by disc that absorb electromagnetic currents that she gives off. Titanus welcomes his enforcer to his side once again.

Burne Thompson feels guilty in his role of rallying the public to the side of an exiled alien conqueror. He decided upon hearing reports of Titanus's description on a Manhattan isle to do so something about it to make it up to the people. He pulls out his Halloween costume of his hero Gadget Man and heads off into the night to right a past mistake.
The TMNT take the blimp to the Manhattan island only to be caught up in a vortex by Tempestra. Krakus is temporarily out of commission when he is blown off course and hits the harbor. The TMNT dive deep underwater to escape her.

Burne makes his way by motorboat to Titanus's location. He fumbles along looking for the mutagen once he hits land.

The TMNT regroup and find Krakus. Krakus informs them of the nature of Tempestra's weakness and how she came to be. Michelangelo goes back to the lair to grab the main chip from an old arcade game in his room.
The others are met by April who wants in for a scoop to sale to a local t.v. station. Krakus picks up a police report from his headset that Burne Thompson is on the island where Titanus and Tempestra are. The Turtles realize they cannot wait for Michelangelo and are forced to stall the two villains.
Krakus goes alone first to help the Turtles to get the drop on them. Titanus meets Krakus again. After an exchange of words Tempestra attacks. Titanus uses this time to prepare a getaway once Tempestra is finished with Krakus. Titanus runs across the hiding Burne. Seeing Burne in trouble Karkus attempts to evade Tempestra and get to Burne who Titanus has cornered. Leo, Raph and April appear while Don hurries off to defuse the time bomb. Trying to remove the mutagen agent from just inside the volcano Burne nearly falls over, but April grabs him keeping him from falling in. Krakus momentarily forgets about Titanus and realizes that April just saved his grandfather just as she would his father one day. At this time Michelangelo returns with the arcade microchip to trap Tempestra. Don is able to stop the timer. Raph and Leo lure her to where they are with Mike and allowing him to throw the chip so she can zap it and be absorbed into the chip. The four turtles and Krakus convene with April and Burne behind them. Titanus atop the volcano attempts to jump up and down causing the group to tumble. He partially succeeds, but due to his massive weight falls backwards into the volcano below where he presumably perishes.

Burne wanting redemption and now humbled apologizes. For his gratitude he ask April to return after walking away once he signed on as Dregg's PR guy and human ambassador. He makes her the executive producer of the news division of the station. They briefly reflect on Dregg's manipulation of the public and how Dregg used Shredder blowing up Channel Six to lure Burne to helping him make the public see the opposite of the truth as far as the Turtles and Dregg are concerned. Krakus departs for his time in a few decades in the future keeping the secret of his connection to Burne.

The objectives were to get April back at Channel Six News and it make sense as well as explain why she went freelance. I capitalized on the reference Krakus made about April rescuing his father a few decades before.
