ACT I - "The First Transition"
Written, Directed and Produced by Ed Hrzic
[Open on a brightly lit lab. A man stands in front of a Zoanoid
breeding tube.]
[Reginald Description: Medium height. Glasses. Red hair. Wears a
laboratory coat.]
[Reginald hits a few buttons on a panel in front of him. The door
behind him opens. In steps another man.]
[Gritson Description: Short. Ageing. Sparse grey hair. Slightly hunched. Carries a folder. Wears a lab coat.]
REGINALD. (turns to Gritson) Ah! Doctor Gritson. A pleasure, I'm sure.
[Gritson grunts.]
GRITSON. Can the pleasantries, Doctor Reginald. (holding up the folder) Here is the folder on the TAG Zoanoid Unit.
REGINALD. (taking it) Yes. The Teleporting Anti-Guyver Zoanoid.
This Unit will assure the destruction on Guyver-1, Guyver-3, and Guyver-Q.
GRITSON. Production has already begun.
REGINALD. (cross) Without my authority?
GRITSON. Would you have said anything otherwise?
REGINALD. (thinking) No, I guess not.
GRITSON. It is in Room #7. I have had Doctor Linga oversee it.
REGINALD. Very well, I will see to it in a few moments.
GRITSON. If you wish.
[Gritson leaves the same way he came in.]
REGINALD. <I don't like your attitude, Gritson. If you remain so, you will regret it most highly.>
[Cut to outside of Kronos New York. Three figures move silently across the roof next to the lab.]
[Cut to Room #7. A woman is taking notes from a set of panels in
front of her. Behind her looms a Zoanoid breeding tube. Inside is
a giant reptilian, colored blue. The rest of its body are covered with spikes.]
[Linga's Description: Tall. Short blonde hair. Wears a lab coat.]
[A door behind Linga opens. Reginald steps in.]
REGINALD. Greetings, Doctor Linga.
LINGA. Likewise.
REGINALD. (walking to her) Trouble?
LINGA. A thought. The brain synapses of the new Zoanoid seem to
be...it's hard to say.
[Reginald turns to the tube.]
REGINALD. Explain.
[Linga turns to the tube as well.]
LINGA. According to the data, the Zoanoid projects an image of itself into the future, sending a precognitive message back to the original Zoanoid.
REGINALD. Only if it is concentrating.
LINGA. Yes, but it seems to be in a state of hyperactivity.
REGINALD. Even though it's not functioning yet?
LINGA. Yes.
[Reginald puts his hand to his chin, thinking.]
LINGA. I see no choice but to put this Zoanoid under constant observation, and to label it "Unpredictable."
REGINALD. Do so. I leave you to your work.
LINGA. Yes sir.
[Reginald leaves.]
LINGA. (looking up at the Zoanoid) <Just what is wrong with this thing? I've never failed in producing an acceptable Zoanoid before. Perhaps I'm just tired.>
[Linga walks to a small table in the room and sips a cup of coffee.]
[Cut to a few blocks over, in a pizza parlor.]
[A medium height man walks in, a trench coat and large hat cover
his face. He walks up to the counter, where the female cashier is
reading a book.]
MAN. One large, double cheese, pepperoni, green peppers, and Canadian bacon.
CASHIER. (taking down the order) Okay. It'll take about fifteen minutes.
MAN. Okay.
[Cut to fifteen minutes later.]
CASHIER. That'll be eight dollars and fifty cents.
[The man takes out a small wad of bills and hands her two five
dollar bills.]
MAN. (picking up the box) Keep the change.
[The man walks outside. He turns to the left into an alley. He
looks around briefly and puts the box on the ground. Opening up
the manhole, he takes the pizza box into hand and descends the
ladder. He pulls the manhole back into place.]
[Cut to a sewer shot. The man walks along the concrete, paired
with the running sewer water. He opens a door and walks in. There
are three green individuals sitting on a sofa, watching T.V. As
well, there is a large rat sitting on a chair at the other side
of the room, reading the newspaper.]
MIKE. Where have you been, dude? I'm about to starve from hunger!
DON. You're not that hungry!
MIKE. Says you!
[The man takes off his coat and hat, putting them on the hat rack.]
RAPH. (handing the pizza to Don) Fine. That's the last time a get pizza for you guys. Leo can do it from now on.
SPLINTER. (putting down the paper) Hush.
RAPH. Sorry, master.
SPLINTER. You would best be on your guard from now, my sons.
LEO. What for?
MIKE. (slurping down a slice of pizza) Yuh, wha fer?
SPLINTER. I sense a great evil that is plaguing the land of New York.
LEO. (walking to Splinter) Like what?
SPLINTER. I do not no, but I know that a terrible power is about to be unleashed.
RAPH. Yeah, you know how pizza reacts on Mikey's system.
[Don and Raph laugh. Splinter can't help but smile, as does Leo.]
LEO. Could it be the Shredder?
SPLINTER. No, I can tell that much. It is far worse. Please, be careful until the foreboding presence leaves me.
LEO. Yes, master.
MIKE. (giving him a thumbs up) You got it, sensei.
DON. Hai.
RAPH. (leaning up against a wall with arms crossed) Uh-huh.
[Cut to a skyscraper, far above the skies of New York. As the sun
finally disappears, a figure starts to move. It stretches is arms
and wings. Soon, several more do so. They converse amongst
themselves, then one particularly large figure dives off of the building.]
[Cut to the roof of a factory. A woman in a leather jacket stands
near the edge, as if waiting for someone. The large figure flies
down, and lands behind her. He steps into the light, and is more
clearly visible. He is slightly purple. He appears to be a gargoyle.]
FIGURE. I'm not late, am I Elisa?
ELISA. 'Course not, Goliath. What about the others? Did they "let you loose?"
GOLIATH. Human's humor is quite...puzzling.
ELISA. You wouldn't know how many "humans" would agree with you, big guy. So, what now?
GOLIATH. Perhaps more talking. I like talking.
ELISA. About what?
[Cut to Kronos rooftop. The figures leap to the roof, and kneel.]
[Guyver Entrance music starts.]
[One stands back up, and cups its hands downward. A ball of
energy starts to collect.]
FIGURE. One...two...three!
[The energy ball flies downward, tearing a hole in the roof.]
[Cut to inside of building, Room #21. Reginald is sitting,
enjoying some wine. A com blinks and a sound accompanies it.]
REGINALD. What is it?
SOLDIER. Doctor Reginald! There seems to be an attack upon the building!
REGINALD. (sips) And? Dispatch some Zoanoids to take care of it.
SOLDIER. From the monitors, it appears to be the Guyvers!
REGINALD. (dropping his glass) WHAT?!
[Cut to sewer. An explosion is heard, and the lights flicker
briefly.]
MIKE. What the heck-
SPLINTER. It...it has started!
LEO. You mean- SPLINTER. (standing) Yes! You must stop it!
RAPH. Let's go!
[Cut to factory rooftop.]
ELISA. Then, when I was in third grade, my teacher-
[The is a buzzing coming from her walkie-talkie.]
ELISA. (taking it) Elisa here. Go ahead.
DISPATCHER. There is some trouble down at the Kronos building. There are some reports of monsters running around on the roofs of the buildings. Investigate at once. Backup is on its way.
ELISA. Roger.
[Elisa turns to Goliath.]
GOLIATH. Trouble?
ELISA. Looks like it. They say there are monsters there. You don't think it could be the others?
GOLIATH. No. They would know enough not to "attack" something without knowledge. No, it couldn't be them.
ELISA. Then, I'll probably need your help on this one.
GOLIATH. Of course.
[There are lights and a large amount of smoke in the distance.]
ELISA. That must be it. Meet me there as soon as you can.
GOLIATH. Why don't we fly?
ELISA. Good idea.
[Cut to Kronos interior.]
GUYVER-3. We must get to the center of the complex. Guyver-Q.
GUYVER-Q. Yes?
GUYVER-3. Take the second level. I will take the last, and Guyver-1 will take middle.
GUYVER-1,GUYVER-Q. Roger.
[Three Vamores erupt from the left wall. Guyver-3 extends his vibro-swords.]
[Cut to an alley, across from Kronos. The manhole opens. Leo, Mike, Don and Raph exit.]
DON. There it is!
LEO. We better do something before the police get here.
MIKE. Wait. What are those guys doing in front of the building?
[In the front of the Kronos building, one of four soldiers knocks out a man who had gathered with others in curiosity.]
[Raph begins to run forward.]
LEO. Raph! Wait!
[The soldier looks up from the man's unconscious body, but not in
time enough to see Raph's foot slam into his face.]
RAPH. Take that you little shit!
[The rest of the turtles gather.]
LEO. You should have waited!
[The turtles draw their weapons.]
SOLDIER #2. You have made a grand mistake.
MIKE. How so, dude?
[Soldier #1 gets back up. The soldiers begin to change: Two
Broyzes and two Vamores.]
[Mike's expression goes blank.]
MIKE. P-perhaps you were right...
[Vamore #1 smacks Raph across the street. The other Zoanoids begin to circle the other turtles.]
LEO. This does not look promising.
[Leo slashes Broyze #1, but leaves little trace of damage. Leo looks in disbelief.]
LEO. WHAT ARE THESE THINGS? MORE MUTANTS?
MIKE. I don't know! But they're tougher than a walnut!
DON. I second that. We need to spread out!
[The turtles leap over the Zoanoids and begin to fan out into the
various alleyways.]
RAPH. (getting up and baring his sais) Now...you've pissed me
off.
[Vamore #1 smiles.]
[Cut to interior of Kronos building.]
[Guyver-3 cuts a Gregole in half.]
GUYVER-3. <Damn it. Nothing.>
[Guyver-3's control medal glows.]
GUYVER-3. Guyver-1 have you found anything?
[Cut to Guyver-1's location.]
GUYVER-1. Nothing.
GUYVER-3. Guyver-Q?
[Cut to Guyver-Q's location.]
GUYVER-Q. I took out the doctors down here. They were Zoanoids
too. They looked like they were working on a new type. The
breeding tube looks freshly empty. Liquid residue is still-
[Guyver-Q fails to notice the Zoanoid behind him. Guyver-Q's
sensitivity perceptors go off and he turns. Nothing is behind him.]
GUYVER-3. Guyver-Q?
GUYVER-Q. I thought-
[Guyver-Q is slammed in to a wall.]
GUYVER-Q. Something's down here! I could use some help!
[Five more TAGs come through the walls.]
GUYVER-Q. Correction: a lot of help.
[Cut to outside.]
[Raph is being held up in the air by Vamore #1, trying to strangle him.]
VAMORE #1. Puny little mutant.
[Vamore #1 is punched farther into the alley. Raph recovers.]
GOLIATH. Not today, monster.
RAPH. Who-
GOLIATH. You must be one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We are of the night as well, so we know of you.
RAPH. Uh...thanks...
[Vamore #1 begins its charge again. Goliath grabs it in mid-leap
and flings in to the ground, crushing its ribs and sending the
bones into its lungs. It gurgles and begins to dissolve.]
GOLIATH,RAPH. What are these things?
[Cut to Don. Don leaps and tries to attack. Broyze #2 grabs his bo and snaps in with a flick of its wrist.]
DON. No way!
[Cut to Leo. He literally gets the drop on Broyze #1, shoving his wakizashi into its head, his katana following soon after. Broyze #1 spasms a bit, then falls over. Leo draws his weapons out of
the body. It starts to dissolve.]
LEO. Damn...
[Cut to Mike. Raph catches him as he is knocked back by Vamore #2. Goliath rushes forward. Vamore #2 leaps at him, biting him in
the arm.]
GOLIATH. (screaming in pain) Back daemon!
[Goliath punches Vamore #2. It loosens its grip, falling back. It
tries to lunge again, but Goliath's vicious haymaker renders
Vamore #2 dead.]
MIKE. Who's our friend?
RAPH. I haven't asked yet.
[Cut to Don. As he is about to be slashed, a gunshot is heard.
Broyze #2 drops.]
GOLIATH. Nice shot, Elisa.
ELISA. Thanks. (lowering her gun) Well, well. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You don't know how much the police force is baffled by you.
DON. Should we take that as a complement?
GOLIATH. We need to get in there to find out what's happening.
ELISA. Agreed. I'll stay here to deter the people and the police force. You take care in there Goliath. I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
GOLIATH. (smiling) Don't worry.
[Cut to Guyver-Q. Guyver-Q is knocked against a panel.]
GUYVER-Q. Gee, I'm so glad you guys are here.
GUYVER-3. Quiet. It's taking a while to get down through the floors.
GUYVER-Q. Just hurry!
[Guyver-Q launches himself at TAG #1, spinning with all four
blades out. TAG #1 is not there when he reaches its location.]
GUYVER-Q. What-
[Guyver-Q is slammed into the ground. The others begin to move in
on him.]
[Cut to inside Kronos building. Goliath and the turtles are running around.]
DON. Where to?
[Mike makes a sickening sound.]
MIKE. Ugh...Just follow the carnage.
GOLIATH. I wonder what did this?
LEO. Something not human.
[Cut to outside Kronos building. Another explosion is heard. Elisa turns.]
ELISA. Goliath!
[She turns back to one of the backup officers.]
ELISA. Take over here! I'm going in!
OFFICER. But-
[She's already gone.]
[Cut to Goliath and the turtles. Up ahead, they see two figures.]
GOLIATH. Stop!
[The figures look at them, and leap down a hole.]
RAPH. Looks like they don't obey orders.
[Cut to Guyver-Q.]
GUYVER-Q. <They're reading me somehow.>
[The ceiling erupts, and Guyver-1 and -3 leap down. Guyver-3
tries to attack, but misses.]
GUYVER-Q. They can read moves somehow!
GUYVER-1. What-
[Guyver-1 is knocked into a wall.]
[Guyver-3 tries to fire, but the TAGs disappear from sight.]
[From the hole in the ceiling, the turtles and Goliath drop.]
LEO. What's going on here?
[A shower of spikes starts to fly toward the group. They
scatter.]
GUYVER-3. Those don't look like Zoanoids.
GUYVER-1. Watch out! They know what you're doing!
[Cut to Kronos building. Elisa is going down an elevator.]
ELISA. <I hope nothing's happened to you, Goliath.>
[Cut to lab. Guyver-3 is knocked against a control panel. It
starts to spark and fizz. The TAGs stop for a moment, holding
their heads.]
MIKE. Something's happened!
[Guyver-1 takes the signal and shoot one of the TAGs in the head.
It ruptures, sending waves of energy out to the others TAGs' heads. Soon, a giant vortex of energy looms, taking the place of
the dead TAG. The other TAGs are sucked through.]
GUYVER-3. What's going on?!
[The door to the room opens. Elisa steps out.]
ELISA. What in heaven's name?
[Leo and Don and pulled toward the vortex.]
LEO. Help!
[Leo and Don grasp at anything, but can't hold on.]
[Mike and Raph make desperate grabs for them, but it's useless. All four turtles fly into the vortex.]
[Goliath is pulled as well.]
ELISA. Goliath!
GOLIATH. Elisa!
[She jumps forward to grab him, but is pulled as well. Goliath
digs his claws into the steel of the floor, but it's no use. They
are sucked in.]
[Guyver-Q is being pulled in, sliding across the ground.]
GUYVER-Q. Guyver-1! Guyver-3! Help!
[They are all sucked in.]
[Cut to later. A dark alley. Mike and Raph wake up.]
MIKE. Ouch. My head. Feel's like I've been rolled and put away wet.
RAPH. Always one with the vocabulary, huh? I need some aspirin,
too.
[They walk out of the alley and look around.]
MIKE. Hey, there's a club over there. It's called- (he reads) Hot Legs?

ACT II - "The Second Light"
Written, Directed and Produced by Ed Hrzic
[Open on an alley. There is a bright, blue flash of light, and a
form plummets to the ground, landing on several trash cans.]
SHO
Ow...my head...
[He looks around, and then at himself.]
SHO
<What? The Guyver suit is gone? Perhaps that
teleportation recalled it. But...> Where the
hell am I?
[Cut to a dimly lit warehouse. There is a flash of light, and Leo
and Don appear, behind several crates.]
DON
Yikes...my head...
LEO
You too? Feels like I slammed into concrete...
repeatedly...
DON
Where are we?
LEO
Some type of warehouse.
[The door to the warehouse opens. Three men with automatic
weapons walk in.]
NICK
Hurry, get those kids in here.
[Four more men drag in four kids that are chained together. NICK
gestures behind him.]
NICK
Lock them up in the back room.
[Two men start to walk in that direction, dragging the kids.]
LEO (whispering)
What's going on?
DON (whispering)
Looks like slavery to me.
LEO
Who are they?
DON
They appear to be of Oriental origin, but
they are speaking English. Could we have
ended up in Chinatown or something?
LEO
I don't know. But they're coming this way.
[Leo and Don draw their weapons.]
KEN
Sam, do you think we'll get a bundle for
these kids?
SAM
I don't know. If we're lucky, we may get a
vacation in Paris. But what are the odds-
[CRACK!]
[The two men fall down from Don and Leo's jump kicks. The kids
begin whimpering. LEO puts a finger to his mouth.]
LEO
Shhh. We're not going to hurt you.
He cuts off the chains.
LEO
Now, go behind those crates and be quiet.
[Cut to other men.]
NICK
Sam! Ken! Aren't you finished yet?
[He waits for an answer.]
NICK
Sam! Ken!
NICK gesutres to MAX.
NICK
Max, go find them.
MAX
Yes sir.
[Max starts off, and pulls out a pistol from his jacket. He
starts walking into the darkness.]
MAX
Nick...Sam...where are you?
[He sees the kids in the corner.]
MAX
There are the kids, but where-
[Don thrusts his bo into Max's stomach. Max doubles over. Don kicks him into unconsciousness. He bends down and drags him over
to a corner, finally tying him up with a piece of wire that was
lying on the ground. They then both walk out into the light, weapons drawn. Nick sees them.]
NICK
You're a little early for Halloween.
LEO
Kidnapping children? That's VERY low.
NICK
True, but it pays the bills.
NICK glances them over.
NICK
And just what are you two supposed to be, if
you're not in costumes? Mutants perhaps?
DON (to LEO)
This guy catches on quick.
[Leo charges.]
[Nick smiles and his skin bursts open. He's a boomer.]
LEO (stopping)
What the-
[The boomer fires its mouth cannon at Leo. Leo quickly jumps back
to Don, both of them taking cover.]
LEO
What IS that thing?
DON
I don't know! Why are you asking me?
LEO
You're the technical expert!
DON
Does "The Terminator" ring a bell? How should
I know?
[The crate they are hiding behind explodes. They are sent
sprawling.]
DON (pointing)
Leo, get those kids outside to safety. I'll
try to hold him off.
LEO
Okay, if you think you can.
[Leo runs off. Don hefts his bo and jumps at the boomer.]
BOOMER
Completely foolish.
[Don shoves the bo into its mouth. The boomer bites down, biting off a piece.]
DON
Yikes!
[Don makes a run for it. The boomer pursues.]
DON
Leo! Big problem!
[Don runs around a crate. The boomer follows. Leo leaps from the
top and drives his katana into its neck. The tubes burst open and
fluid sprays everywhere. The boomer shudders a bit, and drops.]
DON
Whew. What the heck was that thing?
LEO
Beats me. We better gets those kids to the
police, or something.
[The sounds of sirens are heard.]
DON
I guess that won't be necessary. Maybe someone
heard our fight.
LEO
It doesn't really matter HOW. Somehow I don't
think the police will react well to our presence.
[They open a windows and quickly leave.]
[Cut to street. It is dark. A young woman rides home on her
moped. It breaks down along the street.]
WOMAN
Great!
The woman pulls off her helmet.
WOMAN
Now what's the problem?
[Out from the darkness, two men step.]
MAN #1
Bad place to be stopping in, isn't it?
MAN #2
I'll say.
WOMAN
Stay where you are. I'm a member of the A.D.
Police.
MAN #1
And I'm queen of Norway. Who gives a shit?
Now, a nice girl like you does what she's told,
right?
[She steps backward.]
MAN #1
Subdue her.
MAN #2 (pulling out a knife)
Gotcha boss.
[The woman screams. Man #2 reaches out to grab her.]
ELISA
You know, there are other modes of entertainment
for morons like you.
MAN #1
Well, what do you know? Another nice little girl.
[Man #1 steps forward.]
ELISA
I wouldn't try that if I were you.
MAN #1
Why not? Is a gargoyle going to jump out of the
shadows and grab me?
[Goliath reaches out to grab Man #1, hoisting him high.]
GOLIATH (eyes glowing)
Not a bad idea. Now, take your friend and LEAVE.
[Goliath drops Man #1. He and Man #2 leave quickly.]
ELISA
You alright?
[The woman stares in horror at Goliath.]
ELISA
Oh, don't mind Goliath. He's harmless.
GOLIATH (folding his arms)
Harmless, she says.
WOMAN
I'm...I'm fine now. Thanks.
ELISA
Don't mention it. I'm Elisa, and I was wondering
where I am.
WOMAN
I'm Nene. Pleased to meet you. Why do you ask
where you are? Don't you know?
ELISA
We sort of arrived here "unexpectedly."
NENE
Well, you're in Neo-Tokyo.
ELISA/GOLIATH
Neo-Tokyo?
NENE
That's right. You act like you've never heard
of the place. Are you sure you two are alright?
ELISA
Actually, I'm with the NYPD.
ELISA flashes her badge.
NENE
I'm with the A.D. Police. What can I do for you?
ELISA
It's actually rather strange. My friend and I
arrived here abruptly, when tracking some
"things."
NENE
Things?
ELISA
Yes. Have you noticed anything strange lately?
NENE
Strange? In Neo-Tokyo? You better believe it.
Everything from purse-snatchings, to boomer rampages.
ELISA
Boomers? What are they?
NENE (sighing)
It looks like we better have a talk, if you've
never been here before. But let's go somewhere
a lot more...safe.
[Cut to Hot Legs.]
RAPH
Are we just going to sit here all day, or are we
going to go in?
MIKE
I'm thinking.
RAPH
On second thought, let me do the thinking. You
might hurt yourself.
[They walk up to the ticket booth behind a man.]
RAPH
We're with him.
[They go in.]
TICKET TAKER
That will be 12,000 yen.
MAN
What?!
TICKET TAKER
That's 4,000 yen each, for you and for your
two friends.
MAN
Friends?! What friends?!
[Raph and Mike step in to the stage area. Priss and the Replicants are playing.]
MIKE (Beavis impression)
Yeah! Yeah!
RAPH
Chill!
MIKE
What? I can't hear you!
RAPH
Forget it.
MIKE
Cool babe on stage! Nice skirt!
RAPH
You planning on borrowing it?
[Agito walks along the docks.]
AGITO
<There is something afoot here. I am afraid
that the enemies here have already found out
about the Zoanoid biotechnology.>
[He looks toward the Genom tower.
AGITO
<I am very afraid.>
[Cut to interior of Kronos building. There is a breeding tube inside and a man is looking at it. He turns to the light. It is
Reginald.]
[Cut back to Hot Legs. The concert is over. Mike and Raph are sitting at the bar.]
MIKE
And the way she did those splits!
RAPH
Lucky I always carried that set of lucky yen
around with me.
MIKE (turning)
What a babe- Hey! There she is!
RAPH
Huh? What are you babbling about?
MIKE (whispering)
The babe up on stage! Behind us! Coming out of
that door!
[Raph looks behind him. Priss is exiting from the door. Raph turns back to the bar.]
RAPH
Big deal.
MIKE
Big deal?! What do you mean big deal?!
PRISS
Are you two supposed to be ninja, or skinheads?
RAPH
Actually, we ARE ninja.
[Priss casts a skeptical eye at them.]
PRISS
Give me a beer, Jack.
[The bartender gives her a can. She pops it open and takes a
long drink.]
MIKE
That concert was awesome!
PRISS (rolling her eyes)
Thanks. That's what all my fans say.
MIKE
We'll, I'm not really a fan. I just got into
town today.
PRISS
Oh really?
RAPH
Yeah, but his brain is arriving a week from
today.
MIKE
Very funny, butt burglar.
RAPH
Ass-munch!
PRISS
Hey you two! Be quiet. I can barely hear myself
think.
MIKE
Sorry. Anyway, do you know any place we can get
some good pizza?
PRISS (surprised)
Pizza?
RAPH
Yeah. We sort of live on the stuff.
PRISS
I'll bet.
[She takes another long drink.]
MIKE
Is there something the matter with pizza?
PRISS
No. There's a place just across the street from
where I live and-
[There is a beep from her watch.]
RAPH
What's that?
PRISS (covering it)
Nothing...I've got to go. Don't think it wasn't
"enchanting" fellas!
[She starts to leave.]
MIKE
Wait! What about a date?
PRISS
I'll tell you what, we'll talk next time we meet!
[She leaves.]
MIKE
I'm in love.
RAPH
I'm sure April will be delighted.
MIKE
She never told us where she lived.
RAPH
With you? Gee, wonder why.
MIKE
I'm following her. You can stay here if you want.
[Cut to an industrial sight. Sylia and Lynna mow down something. It crackles a bit, then drops.]
LYNNA
And what is that?
SYLIA
Seems like a cyborg. Part boomer, part...something else...
[Priss lands, then gestures behind her.]
PRISS
Normal boomers over there. What about this one?
SYLIA
See for yourself.
PRISS (looking down)
Ugh.
[Sirens are heard.]
SYLIA
Let's move!
[The Knight Sabers scatter. Above, on a half-finished building, something large and monstrous watches. It then disappears in a
blue flash.]

THE EXPLANATION
What is this? Well, its the "ending" (if you will), of X-Cross.
The reason that I've written this "description" instead of taking
the story to its actual ending, is that fact that I became
disenchanted with the project. This fiction is a prime example
of what NOT to do with fiction: write a whole bunch at once. And
while the other fics of mine got my attention, this one was pushed aside. As well, no one commented on it, so I'm more or
less abandoning it. And here we go!
PART 3: "Amid the Wreckage"
Mike and Raph appear at Priss' door. Since they disturbed her beauty sleep, she tosses them out into the street. Mike then notices the pizza place. At Genom, they talk about perfecting the Teleporting Anti- Guyver Boomer Unit. Once the prototype is combat ready, Genom unleashes it in downtown Neo-Tokyo.
To combat the disaster, all of the major players are brought together: Goliath and Elisa, the Turtles reunite, the Guyvers appear, and the Knight Sabers arrive. It is a grueling battle as the TAGBU's precognitive information allows it to avoid the attacks with ease. The Turtles are wounded, and the Knight Sabers' hardsuits are damage. Only with Goliath's help do the Guyvers get the TAGBU into a crossfire and finally destroy it with a triple gravity globe.
Since the people from the past seem to know, to some extent,
what they are dealing with, the Knight Sabers take them to their headquarters. Eventually finding out everything they need to
know, an assault on Genom Scientific HQ is planned. Since the Turtles would be an asset, Sylia unveils a set of four, prototype exoskeletal boosters (PEBs).
PART 4: "Spark in the Darkness"
The final stages of the TAGBUs are complete. Just as it happens, the heroes crash through security (and boomers). They head straight for the lab, and destroy six of the TAGBUs in their tubes. However, they are too late to stop of the releases of the remaining four.
The PEBs come in great use to the turtles, who contend with one of them. The Knight Sabers take another, the Guvyers yet another, and Goliath takes the final one.
These particular TAGBUs, however, are "boosted" versions of the prototype that they had fought. Despite their best efforts, the most that they could do was damage them moderately.
Goliath, seeing that he himself needs assistance, wrenches a large pipe from the wall to act as a weapon. He does not know that it will do, later, though.
The Guyvers also have their hands full trying to find some way to "trick" the TAGBUs. This is for naught, as well. The crossfire won't work this time.
There is a rumbling in the building. Goliath, taking the pipe, had violated the aqua containment of the lab. Gallons and gallons of water fill the lab. The heroes jump to the upper gantries to avoid drowning.
The TAGBUs are not so lucky. The water is the one thing that the Genom scientists didn't content with. The units go in and out of phase, and eventually explode, ripping another hole in time.
Thinking that if one hole went forward to Neo-Tokyo, this one would go back to their own. It isn't that they have much of a choice: the pull of the vortex is becoming too much. And they jump back in time.
Sure enough, they appear back in their own time, and the sun is
almost upon them. The Guyvers leave; Goliath goes back to his
clock tower; and the Turtles return to their home.
