This drawing of Slash is supposed to be a scene for my TMNT fanfiction "Tales of Dani" (a story about my OC). I can't reveal what happens because of spoilers, but I will say this... It's a sad scene.

Tales of Dani - Chapter 2 - The Invasion (Final Part)
After escaping the Foot and Kraang Prime, the Turtles and April head back to the lair while Casey stays with an injured Leonardo in the Party Wagon, searching for his family. “Sensei!” Raphael calls out. “You in here?” April presses her fingers to her temples. “He’s not here,” she says. “I don’t sense him.”
Donatello picks up the picture of Splinter, his wife, and his daughter. “We gotta move,” he tells his brothers. “Everyone, gather one meaningful thing you want to take with you. First we find Splinter, and then we get out of town.”
The purple masked turtle walks to his lab and grabs a few things, mostly medical supplies. He then turns to a frozen mutant. “We’ll be back, Timothy,” he says. “And if we don’t make it, you should defrost in about seventy years or so. Hopefully the world is a better place by then.”
Michelangelo goes to the kitchen, opening the freezer. “I know this is your home,” he tells Ice Cream Kitty. “You know we have to leave, Ice Cream Kitty. Now come on, kitty kitty.” He tries to pull her out of the freezer, but she did not want to go. “Easy, easy.” Michelangelo manages to pull the mutant cat out, putting her in a cooler with two boxes of frozen pizza. “Just squeeze in there between the frozen pizzas.”
Raphael went to his room, removing a can out of the way. He grabs a photo of Slash that was taken some time before he was mutated. “Wherever you are, I hope you’re safe, Spike,” he says sadly.
(Meanwhile)
"I need a lot more training,” Dani admits to herself. She didn’t know how long she ran, but she kept going, worried that she won’t be able to find Slash or a place to hide. She felt guilty leaving Splinter behind while he was fighting Shredder, but she knew she had to get herself to safety before she gets hurt even more. Suddenly, she heard a voice shout, “Hey! Down here!”
Dani came to a screeching halt and turned to see a middle-aged man waving at her. She came down from the rooftop and landed in front of him. “Who are you?” she asked. “The name’s Kurtzman,” he responds. “I’m a journalist who knows a lot about the Kraang. It’s a good thing I found you, miss. This city’s in chaos! Quick! Come with me inside.”
Kurtzman opens the door and motioned Dani to go inside the warehouse. She was hesitant. He seems to have a lot of knowledge, but.. can she trust him? What would Slash do?  After a moment Dani sighed. ‘He would want you to be safe,’ she thought. She enters the warehouse, hoping that she will find a way to stop this invasion, and that Slash would be okay.
(Meanwhile)
The Turtles and April enter the Party Wagon and escape Kraang Prime. As soon as they were inside and the vehicle drove off, Donatello covered his unconscious brother with a blanket. “I’m sorry, Leo,” he says. “You were right. If we’d just left the city when you said, the Kraang would never have found the lair and started the invasion. None of this would have happened.”
April glanced around at her friends. “I have a place we can go upstate,” she says. “My old family home. We used to go there every summer. We can stay as long as we want, no one’s around for miles.” “Upstate, huh,” Casey says pulling his mask up, “Sounds good to Casey Jones.” April asks, “Did you find your dad and little sister?” “No sign of them,” Casey sadly responds, keeping his eyes focused on the road. “They probably got Kraang-atized.” The redhead rests her head on his shoulder.
"What’s gonna happen now, Raph?” Michelangelo asks. Wrapping his hand around his brother’s shoulder, Raphael shakes his head. “For the first time in my life, I have no idea, little brother,” he says. “I miss Master Splinter...”
(Meanwhile, in the sewers)
The mutant rat was washed through so many tunnels underwater. Shredder managed to defeat him and throw him down a pipe. A tail grabbed hold of him and took him to the surface. Gently setting her father down, Karai touches his face for a response. The only response she received was a shallow breath. She jumps back to the water and disappears.
(Meanwhile)
Inside the warehouse, Dani sat alone in the couch, while Kurtzman stepped outside to see if anyone needed help. She was still in shock. So much has happened. The Kraang invaded again, Leonardo is missing, she tried to help Splinter fight a man in metal armor, only for him to knock her down. She watched him and the rat plummet down the large hole. She doesn’t know if Splinter survived or not. She could only hope he did. Suddenly, a noise interrupted her thoughts.
Dani turned to see that the door opened and Kurtzman stepped inside with a smile on his face. “There’s a friend I’d like you to meet,” he tells her. “Friend?” Dani repeats, raising her eye brow. ‘Who could this friend be?’ she wonders. Kurtzman signals a shadowy figure to come inside. She could hear loud footsteps coming from it. She walks over to take a closer look, and gasped. She couldn’t believe who she saw!
Stepping inside the warehouse was Slash, who looked surprised to see her too. Dani was in shock. She was speechless. Her friend was okay, and he is finally with her. After what seemed like a moment, the mutant tortoise smiled softly at his friend. “Hey, Danielle. Long time, no see,” he greeted her.
Acting fully on impulse, Dani ran to Slash and hugged him. The tortoise carefully wrapped his arms around her (noting that she’s injured), returning the hug. Perhaps some good has happened today.
Moments later, Slash told Dani all that has happened since they last saw each other. She was surprised when he told her that he tried to find her in the apartment. She then told the tortoise about Splinter and the man she fought. Slash growled at the mention of it. He heard many things about the Shredder, but never would he have guessed that HE was responsible for Dani’s injuries. Slash swore that he will gladly give him a taste of his own medicine. But now wasn’t the time for a vengeance quest. They need to recover, they need to train, they need to find a way to take this city back, with or without the Turtles.

Tales of Dani - Chapter 2 - The Invasion (Part 2)
Having to abandon one of his blades, Leonardo continues to fight the Foot Bots at a construction site. He sliced, kicked, and stabbed all that stood in his way. As he watched the last one fall, Leonardo failed to notice that one of the bots he took down earlier grabbed his foot and tossed him down. He screams, falling into the icy water below.
A few blocks away, Dani was dodging every obstacle in her way while trying to figure out where Leonardo and the robot ninjas were. How could she lose them so fast? She then heard a scream. It sounded like it was coming from the construction site. She turn around and ran, hoping she wasn’t too late. ‘Hang on, Leonardo. I’m coming.’
Leonardo pulls himself back out and gets up into a fighting stance, panting. Shredder stares down at him, showing no emotion. The three mutants look to him in anticipation “Now you may finish him,” he says.
Tiger Claw, Rahzar, and Fishface jump down to the turtle, attacking him. They landed so many hits on him in his exhausted state. Something in Leonardo then snapped. With a battle cry, he grabs Fishface by his water tube and tosses him to the side. He attacks Rahzar from behind and kicks him. He lets out another cry and faces Tiger Claw, rolling along the ground to kick him low.
Leonardo gets up from the ground, catching his breath. In a flash of lightning, the Shredder was right behind him. Turning a moment too late, the turtle was struck down by his gauntlet.
Tiger Claw picks him up when his T-Phone rang. He pulls it out and looks at the messages from Michelangelo. “Dude, where are you!? Dude, we’re at April’s apartment. HURRY, Chumpy!” “They wait for him in the girl’s home,” he says. “Bait them out and destroy them,” his master orders. The three mutants leave the site, taking the fallen leader with them.
Shredder walks around a corner and sees Splinter looking at one of Leonardo’s katana blades. “Where is my son?” the rat asks. The Shredder laughs. “I’ve taken him like I took your child so many years ago.” Closing his fist in anger, Splinter ran to Shredder, and the two began to fight.
(MEANWHILE)
Water pours into Kirby’s face, making him wake up and see April and Michelangelo looking at him with worried faces. “I just had the worst dream,” he says. “The Kraang were trying to invade.” Michelangelo walks to him. “Don’t worry, Mr. O’Neil,” he says. “Reality is way worse than your nightmare.” Donatello smacks him in the head for freaking him out.
“We gotta move!” Raphael says, running into the apartment with Casey. “Kraang Prime is stomping this way!” “Raph!” Michelangelo hugs his brother, relieved that he is okay. “Aw, I missed you too, little brother,” he says, patting his shell. April runs to hug Casey. “I was scared I’d lost you forever!” she tells him. “No worries, red. Your man is here,” he says with a smile, unaware that Donatello was watching. “Not to break this up, but Leo is still out there!” he reminds everybody. “What!?” Raphael asks. Michelangelo responds, “Long story, bro. Basically-”
But before he could start telling Raphael what happened, Leonardo crashes through the window, sliding to a stop on the floor. “LEO!!”
(Back at the Construction Site)
Dani ran to the construction site, hoping to find the blue masked turtle. There were robot ninjas strode everywhere. She came to a sudden halt when she saw a katana blade that was stabbed through one of the bots. She recognized it. The blade belonged to Leonardo. Looking around in circles, Dani could not find him. ‘What happened here?’ she thought. 
Suddenly, she heard more noises, voices that were unfamiliar to her. She took a closer look and saw a man in metal armor fighting a mutant rat. ‘Wait.. Is that... the great Splinter?’ Dani thought, remembering a time when Slash told her that a mutant rat raised the turtles as his sons and taught them ninjutsu. She doesn’t remember him telling her about a man in metal armor though. ‘Who is he?’ she thought.
“You grow tired! Your skills have become weak!” Shredder taunts, punching Splinter. “Yet I am stronger than ever! Fueled by anger, by rage!” He throws another punch, but Splinter blocks it and throws him to the ground. Dani watches from her hiding place, amazed at how the mutant rat fights. “Rage is a fuel that burns quickly,” he says. “Always the wise one,” Shredder responds, growling in anger. He throws three kunai blades at Splinter, which he has able to dodge. But it distracted him from a punch in the chest. Taking advantage, Shredder punched Splinter several times more and threw him against a crane. A load of pipes fell on top of the rat. Dani’s eyes widen. She pulls her blade out, ready to defend the mutant rat.
As Splinter strains to get free, Shredder reaches down and grabs him by his beard, ready to finish him with the blade of his gauntlet. “What wisdom do you have now?” Splinter glares in response. But before Shredder could bring his blade down and Dani could attack him from behind, Leatherhead breaks through a nearby wall and clamps his jaws around him.
Seeing that this was a distraction for the man in metal armor, Dani rushes to Splinter and strains as she tries to lift one of the pipes. Before the rat could ask the hooded girl who she was, she says, “Don’t worry! I’m on your side.”
The mutant alligator slams Shredder into the ground a few times and tosses him away. He turns over to see the hooded girl trying to remove the pipes that were on top of Splinter. He hurries over them. “My friend,” he asked. “Are you hurt?” But they were focused on something behind him. “LOOK OUT!” Dani shouts.
Leatherhead reacts too slow and Shredder attacks from behind. He roared and thrashed, managing to throw him off, only for him to be assaulted by Shredder’s fists. Splinter and Dani could only watch, their eyes widened in horror. Before he could recover, Shredder charges toward Leatherhead and kicks him down the same hole Leonardo fell in, splashing into the water below. “MONSTER!!!” Shredder turned and saw the girl that was wearing a cloak, glare at him.
Dani could feel nothing but anger. She didn’t know this mutant, but he didn’t to be murdered so ruthlessly. Shredder needs to pay. She closes her fist, grabs her sword, and charges toward the man in metal armor. “NO!” Splinter shouted. 
She swung her blade at him several times, but Shredder kept dodging every move she made. He raised his other gauntlet, but before he brings it down, Dani grabs Leonardo’s katana and blades met with a clang. Now wielding two swords, Dani’s eyes were filled with rage and determination. She let her anger take control. She flips backwards and and continues to fight him. However, it didn’t last long when she missed again and Shredder punched her, making her tumble to the side.
Groaning in pain, Dani tries to get back up, only to be pinned by Shredder. “I don’t fear you,” she says, glaring at him. “Then you will die braver than most,” he responds, raising his gauntlet, ready to finish her.
Not wanting the same fate to happen to her, Splinter finds new strength, freeing himself from the pipes. Shredder turns to see the rat begin to attack him once more. He pushes him away from Dani. “Splinter!” she shouts, watching the two fall into the hole.
Dani crawls to the edge, staring at the hole in shock. Lasers suddenly fired at her. Shielding her head, she turns to see that the Kraang were coming toward her direction. ‘They must’ve followed me,’ she thought.
Looking back at the hole while trying to block lasers, Dani knew she had to make a choice. Go after Shredder or get herself to safety. “Remember what he told you,” she tells herself, getting up slowly. She grabs a smoke bomb from her pocket. “Splinter is a master ninja. He’ll win this battle... I hope.” She throws her smoke bomb at one of the droids and it goes off. When the smoke finally clears, the droids see that the girl disappeared.

Tales of Dani - Chapter 2 - The Invasion (Part 1)
The city was in chaos. The second invasion has begun! Portals opened everywhere, Kraang ships flew above buildings, and people were running in terror. Dani jumps from rooftop to rooftop, desperately looking for Slash. She tried contacting him from her mobile device multiple times, but there was no response. Dani was getting worried. She knew he wanted to fight alone, but this seemed out of character for the mutant tortoise. Did he get captured? Is he hurt? Or is he...
Not wanting to think of the worst that could happen, Dani was determined to find Slash before this invasion could get any worse. Maybe the Turtles could help her find him...
(MEANWHILE)
The Shredder stood on top of a pile of rubble and watched with an apathetic gaze. “The city is ours, Master Shredder,” Tiger Claw said next to him. “Since I was a boy, I have seen this very vision,” his master said. “The world in chaos.” 
Just then, a sudden howl came from a building. Shredder turned and saw Rahzar, a double-mutated dog who was once the martial arts celebrity, Chris Bradford, leap down and kneel before him. “Master Shredder,” he said. “The Kraang have sent word! Leonardo is not far from here. They’re leading him straight to us.” “Excellent,” Shredder replied. “Then it is the beginning of the end.”
(At the Turtles’ lair)
Splinter looks around his home, seeing that it is now destroyed. He had just defeated Kraang Subprime after April accidentally led him to the lair, believing that he was her human friend Irma. She, Donatello, and Michelangelo were forced to leave him and Leonardo behind while they retreat to her apartment. He picks up a broken picture of the turtles and says to himself, “Don’t stand here like a fool, Yoshi. Find your family.”
(MEANWHILE)
Leonardo pokes out of a manhole cover and climbs out into an alley. It’s not long before he notices that Foot Bots have spotted him. They start shooting arrows at him. Leonardo blocks the arrows with his katana blades and runs to another location.
On the rooftops above, Dani continues her search for Slash. She suddenly noticed a dark figure on rooftops way ahead of her. It almost looked like the Kraang were firing lasers at it. Hoping to get a closer look, she suddenly hears another noise. It was closer. She turns and sees the blue masked turtle being chased by Foot Bots. “Leonardo?” she whispers. She then turns to where she saw the dark figure and saw that it was gone. Frustrated, Dani thinks to herself for a moment. ‘What if that was Slash? What if the Kraang got him? But Leonardo is fighting robot ninjas alone! He needs help!’ With a sigh, the hooded girl decided to follow the robots and hoped that whatever the figure was (Slash or not), made it out okay.
(MEANWHILE)
“Just a little further to April’s place!” Casey shouted. He and Raphael stopped at the middle of a street and see that Kraang Prime has stepped out of a portal. “Yes! Kraang Prime returns to Earth!” “You got some kind of plan to fight that?” asked the hockey-masked vigilante. “Uh, not really, no,” Raphael answers, backing away from the giant Kraang.
“People of Earth,” Kraang Prime says, “the Kraang forming of your world is about to begin!” He holds out a gun and starts shooting mutagen at the humans. “NO!” Raphael shouts, watching in horror. The humans were now mutated Kraang creatures. “Now that is really messed up,” Casey said faintly.
(Channel 6 Breaking News!)
“Invasion! That’s right, folks! The aliens are back! Robots are emerging from portals! UFOS are everywhere! A giant alien brain is stomping through the east village!” The TV broadcast suddenly cuts off.
“Yeah, I’d say we’re basically doomed,” Donatello states. “This is all my fault,” April says, “If I hadn’t brought Irma to the lair-” “You can’t blame yourself, April,” Donatello says before she could finish. Michelangelo wraps his arms around her. “Yeah, we can do that for you,” he says. He lets go of her when Donatello smacks him. “I can fix this,” April says with a determined look on her face. “I’m gonna find your brothers and Casey.” “You can’t go out there, April!” her father quickly says. “You have to stay with me. I’m scared,” he continues, hanging his head in fear. His daughter and the two turtles stare at him.
Suddenly, Michelangelo’s T-Phone goes off. “Whoa! Raph just sent me a text!” he reads his message out loud. “On our way! Being chased by Kraang Prime! Frowny face. Oh, guess they’ll be a few minutes late.”
(In the sewers)
Splinter hid in a tunnel, waiting for the Kraang droids to pass him. Once they were gone, he walks out and finds a pile of broken droids. He notices a knife that was stuck on one of the heads and pulls it out. Leonardo was here.
“It is the rodent known as Splinter,” a Kraang droid said. “Exterminate! Exterminate!” They started firing their lasers at him. The rat dodges and attempts to flee the area, only to be cornered by another droid. He holds its gun, trying to prevent it from cutting him.
Before the droids could finish him, a large figure punches one of them, and smashes its head with his foot. "KRAANG!!!” the figure roars, revealing it to be Leatherhead, a mutant alligator the Turtles rescued from Dimension X. He quickly dispatches them and continues to punch one of the droids. “That is enough!” Splinter shouts. “ENOUGH!!”
Quickly calming down, Leatherhead drops the droid and looks at the rat. Splinter walks over to him. “Leatherhead, my thanks.” “Great Splinter,” the mutant alligator asks. “Where are your sons?” “Lost in this madness,” he responds, lowering his head. “Will you help me find them?” “Anything for my friends.” “Then let us hurry!” Splinter says, running through the tunnels, the alligator following close behind.
(MEANWHILE)
A large figure landed on the fire escape of an apartment, panting. He tried to take a glance at the window, looking to see if anybody was inside. There were no lights on, no one in sight. He tapped at the window, hoping for someone to respond. Nothing. He tries again, a little louder and faster. Still nothing. Slash growls in frustration. ‘Where could she be?’ he thought. ‘She’s a warrior! There’s no way the Kraang could have mutated her!’ 
Before he could think any further, Lasers fired from below the building. “It is the one called Slash!” the Kraang said. Pulling out his mace, the mutant tortoise let out a roar and jumped from the fire escape.

Tales of Dani - Chapter 1 - Newtralized! (Final Part)
The Turtles made their way through the docks, watching the Kraang open a portal for the weapon. “Is that the new weapon they were talking about?” Michelangelo asks. After the weapon fully appeared, the portal closed. The orange masked turtle sighed in disappointment. “Doesn’t look like much.” The weapon then stood up and it was revealed to be a large walker. It towered over the Turtles. Michelangelo says, “Never mind.”
The walker took aim on a crate the Kraang had set up for practice. “Kraang, over here!” one of the droids called out. “Over the direction known as this way!” “Kraang targeting!” The laser from the walker hit the crate and created a large pink explosion. The Kraang that was in front of the crate fell out of what was left of its droid. He screeched and gave a thumbs up. “That is what is known as awesome!” another droid said before saluting to the walker.
Meanwhile, Newtralizer, Slash, and Dani arrived and prepared to make their move. “Raka raka roka raka!” Newtralizer says before turning to the tortoise and teenager. “So here’s the plan, you distract the Kraang, I’ll hijack the walker.” “And we’re supposed to trust you inside that thing?” Slash asks, raising an eye-ridge. Newtralizer responded, “I know how to pilot it, and you don’t have a choice.” He began to climb up the storage crates and managed to take a good look at the walker. “This mission is madness,” Dani whispers, watching the newt. Slash watched him too and growled under his breath. He knew the girl was right. As they leapt into their positions, Slash couldn’t help but regret his decision to join someone like the Newtralizer, and get Dani involved.
Back with the Turtles, Leonardo was looking over at his siblings and was saying, “Here’s the plan-” Suddenly, Newtralizer appeared out of nowhere and was on top of the walker. The Kraang inside it quickly noticed and electrocuted him.
After he fell off the walker, Newtralizer quickly moved aside when the foot of the walker nearly stepped on him. The Kraang fired blasters at him. Slash and Dani entered the battle and attacked the droids. “Slash, Danielle, keep the Kraang busy,” Newtralizer ordered, “I’m going for the walker.” “Kraang, attack all non Kraang. Repeat, attack-” before it could finish, the droid got destroyed.
The Turtles quickly jumped from their positions, joining the fight. Raphael runs straight to the Newtralizer with a battle cry. The Salamandrian hits the turtle with his tail and starts firing lasers at him. Raphael dodges and Newtralizer pulls out his blade, blocking the turtle’s sais from stabbing him. He grabs Raphael by the shell, throws him to the side, and aims his laser at him.
Before he could fire, a figure suddenly attacks Newtralizer from behind and punches him. Raphael is surprised to see who it was. Dani reaches her hand towards him, helping him get up. The only thing she said was “Don’t ask.” Raphael nods, giving her thanks for saving him, but suddenly he shouts, “Look out!” Dani turns a second too late and Newtralizer knocks her. “TRAITOR!!!” he shouts. She tumbles a few feet away, before lying down unconscious.
The Kraang inside the walker was having too much fun blasting at the mutants, that he nearly blasted some of the Kraang droids on the ground. “Kraang, watch out for Kraang!” called one of the droids. The walker stepped over two droids. “Stupid Kraang,” one of them muttered.
Donatello runs on top of one of the crates and throws an electric bomb at the walker. “Here goes nothing!” he says. The antennae of the walker quickly noticed and destroyed the bomb in mid-air.
After fighting Raphael and the girl who just betrayed him, Newtralizer makes his way across the crates and jumps on top of the walker again, this time bending the antennae. Now that the defense system was disengaged, he grabs the Kraang pilot and throws him out of the walker. Newtralizer takes control of the weapon and starts firing at the droids. “Kraang walker has been Kraang-jacked by the alien amphibian!” one of them alerted. “Kraang, retreat! Retreat!”
Newtralizer laughed as his enemies scrambled beneath him. He was having great pleasure destroying and stomping any Kraang in his path, unaware that Slash was fighting the rest of the droids underneath him. The mutant tortoise looked up when he noticed a shadow pass over him. He froze when he saw that the walker’s foot was coming straight for him. Suddenly, he heard a voice shout “SPIKE!!” and was tackled out of the way.
Getting up, Slash looked to see Raphael, his former owner, clutching his head. “You...” Slash said, too shocked to even comprehend what just happened. “You saved me, Raphael...” They duck as Newtralizer shoots at them. “I’ll destroy you all!” he laughs.
Regaining consciousness, Dani slowly gets up to her knees. She sees Slash stand up and teleport himself to the top of the walker. Looking at her teleporter, she presses it and teleports herself to another location. “Raka raka roka raka!” Newtralizer cheered. “What are you doing?!” Slash demanded. “They helped us fight the Kraang!” Newtralizer sneered, “This is my battle! I don’t need them!” Slash growled in anger. He lifted his mace and with a roar, he slammed it into the walker, trapping Newtralizer’s tail. He tried to move, but he was stuck tight. “Slash, how could you, brother?!” “You’re no brother of mine,” Slash responds.
Newtralizer lifts his arm to shoot at Slash. But before he could fire, a shuriken broke his teleporter. Newtralizer looked to see where it came from and saw both Dani and Raphael on top of a crate, grinning. The red masked turtle jumped and landed next to Slash on the walker. Newtralizer moved the walker with a sudden jolt. Slash and Raphael lost their balance and fell off. “Slash!” Dani cried out, Michelangelo doing the same for his brother one second later. He managed to get below Raphael and cushioned his fall. “Caught you, bro,” he says with a groan. Dani teleports herself to where the others were and runs to check on Slash, who got up from where he fell. Seeing that he was okay, Dani sighs in relief.
“Raka raka raka!” Newtralizer  aimed the walker’s laser blaster at the four turtle brothers and the two traitors he called his partners. But before he could fire, someone shouted “GOONGALA!!” and shot explosive hockey pucks at the walker. Everyone turned around and saw that Casey was standing on top of the crate behind them. “Casey? You’re back?” Raphael asks. “I figured I’d wait for you all to be in trouble, and then I’d make an awesome heroic entrance!” Casey smiled. “Pretty cool, right?”
Dani chuckles after hearing the hockey vigilante’s response and runs with the others, charging the walker. She, Leonardo, and Slash attack the feet in an attempt to bring it down. Michelangelo uses his kusarigama chain to wrap around the walker’s legs in an attempt to trip it. But the big machine broke the chain, and the group got cornered.
On top of the crates, Casey dodged out of the way when one of the laser blasts nearly hit him. As he did, he noticed a hole on the walker. Casey smirked. He just found a weak spot. Carefully aiming another explosive puck, he smacked it towards the hole. The puck flew through the hole inside the walker and landed next to a power cell.
Newtralizer laughs, ready to destroy the group, but he suddenly stopped when the walker exploded and burst into purple flames. He frantically pressed his broken teleporter multiple times, hoping to to get free. He then zapped away at the last second before the entire walker exploded in a blast.
“Aw, yeah! You’ve been Newtralized, son!” Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Casey cheered at their victory. Dani couldn’t help but smile as she watched the group celebrate. Maybe the Turtles weren’t so bad after all. “Not bad, Dani!” an excited voice said, interrupting her thoughts. It was Michelangelo facing her with a smile. “You’re like a ninja and Jedi combined!” he continued. “A ninja and a Jedi?” she repeated. “That actually has a nice ring to it! Watch out Kraang, Dani the Ninja Jedi is ready to destroy some droids!” she pulls out her blade and swings it playfully, mimicking the sound of a lightsaber. She paused for a moment and saw that the group was watching her. Michelangelo and Casey were trying to hold their laughs, while Donatello and Leonardo just stared at her with confused faces. Dani laughs nervously and says “... Forget you saw that.” She then turned and saw that Raphael and Slash were having a conversation with each other.
“Thanks, Spike,” Raphael says, quickly correcting himself, “I mean, Slash.” He turns and sees Dani walking her way towards them. “You too, Dani,” Raphael adds, smiling at the teenage girl. “It was nothing,” Dani bashfully replied. Raphael continued, “You know, there’s always room on the team for two more.” Dani shook her head, “I appreciate the offer, Raphael, but I have to pass,” she responded.  He then turned to Slash. The mutant tortoise hesitated for a moment. He also thought about the offer Dani made earlier.
A moment passed and he finally responded. “I need to go my own way. Think I’m... better off solo.” Raphael’s shoulders dropped in disappointment. Dani’s eyes widen, surprised about this decision. “Are you sure?” she asks. “My offer still stands if you’re interested.” Slash shook his head. Dani sighed, sadness shown in her eyes. “Hey, we’ll see each other again,” Slash says, cheering her up. “I promise.” Dani smiles, hope now gleaming on her face. “I knew I made the right choice,” she says. “In what?” Slash asks. Dani’s smile grows wider. “My first friend,” she responds, suddenly giving the tortoise a hug. Slash stared at the top of her head in shock. She was hugging him. Dani was hugging him. His arms rose up to return the hug.
After she pulled away, Dani said, “I should get going. I hope you find what you’re looking for.” With one final smile, she presses her teleporter and disappears, the others watching her.
Seeing that Dani was gone, Slash turned to Raphael. “Goodbye, brother,” he says, shaking the turtle’s hand. “I’ll see you all again someday.” With that, he teleports away. “Goodbye, Spike,” Raphael says sadly. “Don’t sweat it, Raph,” Casey says, skating next to him. “You still got Casey Jones on your team.” “You did awesome, Casey,” Raphael says, smiling at him. “Best partner a turtle could have. “It’s been a long day, guys. Let’s go home,” Leonardo says.
(Meanwhile)
Dani teleported herself to her bedroom at the apartment she lived in. So much has happened. She started fighting the Kraang, she met the Turtles and Casey Jones for the first time, a newt nearly destroyed her, and she finally found a friend. Even though they had to go their own separate ways, Dani knows that someday, she will see Slash again. With that last thought in her head she laid down on her bed and fell asleep, dreaming of adventures that await her.

Tales of Dani - Chapter 1 - Newtralized! (Part 4)
“Uh, guys,” Dani says, “we’ve got company.” The three warriors see that the Turtles have entered the building through the roof. Casey has a rough landing, but steadies himself and takes a stance. “Whoa,” Michelangelo says, ”it’s the Newtralizer! I totally named that guy!” “Actually I named him,” Donatello says, correcting his brother, only to get mocked. "Hit em’ hard and fast,” Leonardo instructs. “Except for you, Casey,” Raphael adds, looking at his friend. “You hold back.”
The Turtles dash forward and attack. Michelangelo and Leonardo attack Newtralizer, only for him to knock them down fast. Raphael tries to strike the Salamandrian down with his sais, but is thrown to the bottom floor. While the red masked turtle stands back up, Dani lands in front of him, sword at hand. “What part of ‘stay out of our way’ don’t you understand?” she asks, charging towards the turtle. Raphael blocks her sword, and with a smirk, he says, “Bet you think you’re good at making friends with two psychos, huh, princess?” She doesn’t answer back. Blades hit very hard, and Dani starts to fight him aggressively.
Donatello lands onto Slash’s shell as he tries to swing him off. He then punches him in the face and raises his mace, ready to strike him down. “Eager for another beatdown, Donatello?!” Slash snaps. Hockey pucks suddenly hit the tortoise right in the face. He turns and sees Casey skating his way toward him. “Leave him alone!” he shouts. But before he could hit him, Slash grabs Casey’s hockey stick and starts swinging him.
Raphael sees this and runs toward the mutant tortoise after he throws his friend to the side. Before he could do anything, Slash taps on his teleportation device and disappears. Raphael tries to see where he went, only to get hit from behind. Newtralizer throws a disc above the Turtles and Casey and laughs. Dani hears the disc beep and her eyes widen in shock. “Wait, what are you doing?!” she asks. “We gotta move!” Slash says. He, Dani, and Newtralizer then teleport away, leaving the warehouse.
The disc starts to beep faster. Donatello realizes that it was a bomb. “Holy mackerel!” he shouts. “Run!” The Turtles quickly run to the nearest window and jump out. Casey gets stuck momentarily, but before Raphael could run back to help him, he manages to get out, one second before the bomb explodes. Debris fell from the roof. Raphael tackles Casey out of the way before he could get hit.
“You guys alright?” Leonardo asks, walking over to his brother and the vigilante. Casey lifted his mask up and said, “Yeah, we’re cool.” “Cool?!” Raphael snaps. “You would’ve been flattened if it wasn’t for me!” Casey snaps back, “I’ve done the same for you, Raph!” “Oh, yeah? When was that?” he asks. Casey pauses to think for a second. “Like, dozens of times,” he said.
“If you didn’t slow us down, they would’ve never gotten away,” Raphael argues. Casey stared at him, angry. “Are you kidding me?!” he exclaimed. “Why?” Raphael asks. “You think this is a joke?” He and Casey then stare at each other, growling. Finally, Casey shoved past Raphael and stormed off. “You know what, Raph? Forget this! I’m out of here!” “Good. Just go,” he waves off. “Good! I’m going!”
“Casey, wait! Hold on!” Leonardo calls, only to watch him disappear out of sight. He, Donatello, and Michelangelo start to glare at their hot-headed brother. “What?” he asks. “If he’s gonna act like a baby, then I don’t want his help.” “Not cool, Raph!” Michelangelo states. “People have feelings, dude. Real squishy feelings.” “Well, I’m not people,” Raphael responds.
(Meanwhile)
Slash and Newtralizer were inside a garage looking at Kraang weapons while Dani stayed outside, watching for Kraang droids or the Turtles. He was unaware that one of Donatello’s spy roaches was on top of his shell. “The Kraang orb revealed a new weapon,” Newtralizer spoke. “They’re testing it on the docks at midnight. We can use it to wipe out the Kraang once and for all. We can destroy this whole stinking city.”
Slash immediately realizes what this also meant. “And every innocent human with it!” he concludes. “Are you crazy?! I’m here to take out Kraang, not people.” “Why should I care?” Newtralizer snaps. “I’m not people!” “What about Danielle?” Slash asks in concern. There was nothing but silence, until Newtralizer responds with his answer very coldly, “If it comes down to it, I won’t take any chances, brother.” Slash was about to argue further, but then he kept quiet. Nothing he could say would change the Salamandrian’s mind. Slash was starting to have second thoughts.
(On the rooftops)
Donatello switched off his T-Phone. That was all they needed to hear. “Okay, this just got real,” Leonardo comments. Raphael nods. “Let’s end this!” he says, pulling his sais out.
(Back at the garage)
Dani stood outside the garage and was in deep thought. It was nice to help the two fight the Kraang, but something didn’t feel right. Newtralizer blew up the warehouse while the Turtles and Casey were inside. Someone could’ve gotten hurt. He didn’t show any signs of regret when they left. It was something she did not like. She started to remember what Raphael said to her during the fight. Maybe she did team up with a psycho...
She then thought of Slash. He was concerned as she was when Newtralizer told them that he came for the orb. Ever since she met him, Dani could tell that there was good inside the tortoise. Maybe she could convince him to leave the newt somehow.
She suddenly hears the garage door open and instantly knew that only Slash stepped out. He almost looked... sad. “What did he say?” she asks. Slash didn’t say anything. Seeing the look on his face, Dani asked, “Slash, is everything okay?” 
After what seemed like a moment, Slash finally responded. “The Kraang are testing a weapon at the docks,” he says. “He wants to use it to destroy the city.” “What?!” Dani asks, outraged to hear what was said. Slash continues, “I tried to talk him out of it, but-” “I came here to help fight the Kraang, not become some super-villain!” Dani interrupts, “I can’t believe that I was foolish enough to- ” She then remembered what she wanted to say to the tortoise. ‘Tell him before it’s too late!’ she thought. “Come with me,” Dani says softly. “What?” Slash asks. “Come with me, Slash,” she repeated. “It’s not too late to leave him. We can fight crime together. We don’t even have to worry about risking the safety of others. What do you say, brother?” she asks with a smile, reaching her hand towards him.
Slash was shocked. He didn’t know what to say. Before he could respond, Newtralizer came out to tell them that it was time to go.
