Proper endings if had that been the final episode

That was the charm of the show, that the battle never ended, they could have written off Shredder and Krang after "The Big Blow-Out", but they knew those characters were just too popular. Despite a short hiatus, they came back in season ten for a ratings boost. If the show had continued past season 10, I always figured we'd see them again down the line. Shredder and Krang are stubborn little fellas and if something came along that enabled them to regain their power base, they'd take it. The show doesnt end just because the series was cancelled, it goes on and on in people's imaginations, and in those imaginations, Shredder and Krang got back on top. Easy as that.

Likewise April quit Channel 6 at the end of Season 8 and was working as a freelance reporter in Seasons 9 and 10, so I don't see why she would go back there just because the building was rebuilt.

People have quit their career-making jobs and gone back to them in real life, why can't April? Especially since the ressurection of Channel Six meant high quality production values and a network platform for her. She also struggled as a freelance reporter, to make ends meet, she swallowed her pride and got her job back

Exactly. We were lead to believe that Shredder and Krang would be back soon after "Turtle Trek". I doubt David Wise and co. were going to put them to rest after that but it was TPTB at CBS that gave them one. I created a way for them to comeback easily in my own fan-fiction continuation and I am sure others have as well. Who is to say that at the main rock soldiers base that General Traag does not have a small functional portal? Or any number of ways.

I did the same thing here, but it needs to be something that would not hurt her character development making it look like she is taking a step back. She might save Burne Thompson's life when he gets in the middle of a fight or maybe Channel Six News is being threatened from going off the air and they need April to help stabilize them? I thought it would have been more interesting if Burne Thompson was the citizen who helped Dregg rally the population of NYC against the TMNT in season 9 and then looked for forgiveness after that.
