Chapter 142: C131(1)
New York, Manhattan Area, TCRI Laboratory Building.
As the new stronghold of foot clan, the alien invasion plan led by Shredder, who escaped from prison, was in full swing.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the situation changed. A blue energy ray, fired from the output tool on the top of TCRI, blasted into the sky and exploded in the clouds, sweeping across the sky above Manhattan.
Under the influence of the energy rays, the cloud mass expanded rapidly, turning black and forming a whirlpool shape. The center of the vortex seemed to be connected to another space. From the looks of it, something was about to emerge from the clouds.
Click! Click!
Dense lightning and blue energy constantly flickered in the dark clouds. The citizens of New York felt an unusual energy; their heartbeats quickened, and they were overcome with a sense of panic.
They looked up at the cloud mass, which had begun in Manhattan and expanded toward the entire New York area, with an ominous premonition of what might happen next.
A Certain Hotel.
Nick Fury heard the movement outside the window. Looking through the glass, he saw the dark clouds in the sky and the terrifying energy gathering above.
As Phil had said before, a space channel was being opened.
The shadow hand behind the space passage was an unbelievable alien presence that could no longer be ignored.
"The teleportation device!" Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., grimaced. He knew that the situation had escalated to the worst-case scenario he had anticipated, and it was too late to take action against foot clan now.
In the last few hours, foot clan had taken drastic measures, far beyond what Fury had expected.
"I found it!" Natasha opened the door, her expression grim, and walked up to Nick Fury.
"In the TCRI Laboratory Building."
She reported, "Using the energy signal just released, we've located the foot clan forces in the TCRI Laboratory building."
"Send all agents. You must disable the teleportation device to prevent them from bringing aliens to Earth!" Nick Fury ordered in a deep voice. After a pause, he added, "Also, tell Tony that New York is in danger, and S.H.I.E.L.D. needs support."
"Understood!" Natasha nodded. "Hawkeye has already gone ahead, and Coulson is gathering people and preparing to breach TCRI all at once."
Then, she hesitated before asking, "Should we contact Anton?"
Contact Anton?
Nick Fury understood Natasha's meaning. She was asking if they should seek Batman's help.
To be thorough, of course, the message needed to reach Batman. Despite this, Nick Fury knew that Batman would likely have figured out the crisis in New York on his own, especially after the information about aliens had been shared with him.
"No need," Fury thought for a moment and shook his head. "If S.H.I.E.L.D. can handle it, Batman has no need to get involved. But if S.H.I.E.L.D. fails—"
"Understood!" Natasha responded. She then found Coulson, assembled all the agents in New York, and hurried to the destination.
...
At the same time, the TCRI Laboratory Building.
"We made it!" Shredder looked manic.
The successful operation of the teleportation device in front of him had allowed him to envision the alien krang using the technodrome to occupy the Earth and dominate the world on his own.
"Yes, we succeeded!" Stockman said, his excitement matching Shredder's.
"Once the energy reaches its peak, the space-time gate will open to its maximum, and the Technodrome will pass through the gate to Earth… the scene will be truly spectacular."
Stockman laughed. "This is a miracle created by me. Galileo, Newton, Einstein—they won't compare to what happens here. From now on, I will be the first person in the history of science!"
Shredder glanced at him but said nothing.
Rumble!
The dark clouds above them thickened, and thunder and lightning crackled continuously.
Under the horrified gaze of onlookers, the blue energy converged into a single point and exploded in all directions.
Boom!
The shockwave from the energy explosion formed a gust of wind, sweeping through every corner of New York. The Hudson River's waters surged, sending huge waves crashing against the shore. On the nearby coastline, massive waves tens of meters high rose.
The cruise ship was shaking, and the tourists aboard were terrified.
Everyone could see something emerging from the swirling dark clouds above, revealing a corner of the technodrome as it began to materialize.
"It's started!" Shredder watched the changes in the clouds, knowing that the parts of the technodrome were arriving on Earth, piece by piece, as if turning zero into a whole.
Toot toot!
An alarm blared inside the TCRI Laboratory Building.
"Someone broke in!"
The female ninja, Karai, heard the alarm, checked the surveillance, and saw a man with a bow and arrow at the gate, charging into the building.
The Foot clan's thugs were no match for him.
"Master Shredder!" Karai's face grew serious. "We've been compromised. Batman may be coming, and the four turtles..."
"Don't panic!" Shredder said, his expression cold. He looked at two purple potions. "These are the potions given to me by the alien krang. They'll give us superpowers."
"Uh!" Stockman shook his head. "I'm just a researcher. You're not expecting me to fight, are you?"
"Don't we have test subjects?" Shredder sneered.
He turned his gaze toward two small gangsters who had been locked up with him, and who had accidentally been brought to the TCRI lab by the teleportation device.
Maxwell and Boris—rhino and wild boar, respectively—members of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' rogues' gallery.
From the perspective of the cyborg, Anton saw this scene, and the corners of his lips lifted in amusement. Destiny is truly wonderful.
As long as Anton nudged things a little, the plot would unfold exactly as he remembered.
Soon...
Hawkeye easily dispatched the enemies on the first floor. Just as he was about to take the elevator to the top floor, he saw two "monsters" standing and charging at him with the force of a thunderstrike.
Of course, it would be more accurate to call them "animals."
"Rhino? Wild boar?"
He blinked, feeling like he had stepped into a zoo.
