“Let’s get rolling, then. Battleshell?” Donnie asked as he returned.
“Mikey an’ I can take our bikes, use the image inducers to blend in,” Raphael stated.
“Let’s just get moving,” Leo said, sounding impatient.
The Legendary follow along, Entei most eager to see his brother.
“Whoa, calm down,” Raphael said, stepping cautiously towards Entei. “The signal you said they picked up. Arceus on the other end o’ that? If so, I say we focus our efforts there, on him.”
“Donnie, do you have any devices that could help us that are easy to carry with us?” Leo asked, looking at his brother.
“Not if we’re being stealthy, but I could bring along a few of the explosives just in case.” Donnie looked at Entei before explaining, “In case there’s any doors we can’t open, sometimes it’s best to just blow the damn thing open. I swear on my life, no further harm will come to your brother.” Mikey elbowed him in the side. Further, bro? Sensitivity’s not your strong suit today is it?
Entei looks to the Deoxys, who shake their heads, and he turns back to the turtles, “No, they sense a surge similar to… what my brother does as a beacon.”
The beast goes silent at the thought instilled by Donatello’s words.
“Then we’ll focus on him,” Leo said. “We’ll find a way to save him, Entei. Just… trust us. We’ve gotten out of extremely tight jams in the past. Shell, I was tortured and raped, but here I am, okay again.”
“I uh… didn’t mean to say it that way,” Donnie said. “I just meant that… uh…”
“He means that whatever they did to him, we’ll make them pay for it,” Tokka concluded. “Now are we just gonna stand here, or are we mounting a rescue?” He made a motion indicating his readiness to get moving.
Entei and the Deoxys nod.
“Where did the beacon originate?” Leo asked as Donnie ran off to gather what he’d need. “The facility in New Jersey?”
“From what the Deoxys have told me, yes.” He glances at the two blank staring aliens.
“Whoa, calm down,” Raphael said, stepping cautiously towards Entei. “The signal you said they picked up. Arceus on the other end o’ that? If so, I say we focus our efforts there, on him.”

“Then what are we supposed to do?” Raphael asked. “Just sit here and let them keep hurting, or whatever?”
“Do you have a plan?” Leo asked.
Entei went silent. He growls and rams himself into a wall, “I know time is of the essence, Raphael!” He breathes heavily, “…I do not have a plan.”
“Should we follow them?” Mikey asked, looking to Entei. The other four turtles looked at Entei expectantly.
“…” Entei looks to the five, “…Rushing in… will serve us no good.”
“They got a signal? Let’s find it’s origin, then,” Leo said. “We’re going to bring them home, Entei.” He paused, and Master Splinter’s face came to mind. “All of them.”
Entei nodded simply, turning slightly as he looked down the way of the sewers as both Deoxys fly over in their Speed forms.
“What do you think, Raph? Could this be any of our enemies?” Leo asked.
“Hun’s Purple Dragons ain’t sophisticated enough to pull this off. They’re muscle, but not brains,” Raphael replied. “Karai might be able to do it, but I don’ think her Foot Ninjas have enough skill. Sure, there’s the Elites, but there’s only like five of those right now. It could be Agent Bishop, though. I mean, if he’s bright enough to get Sensei from us…”
“But we have no idea where he’d be keeping them,” Leo said. “You know where they were torturing us, and they shut those places down. You’ve-wait. You never saw where they kept me, did you?”
“What are you thinking?” Raphael asked.
“You and the X-Men found Mikey and Donnie in the facilities. I’d escaped, I was a ways off from where I was tortured. They don’t think I remember where the place is… but I do,” Leo said. “We’re running out of other options, that’s gotta be the place.”
Entei paused for a moment, like his mind was elsewhere, before conferring with the turtles. “I do believe Leonardo may be right. The Deoxys seem to have found some kind of signal, as it were…”
“Do you have any idea where they would take them?” Donnie asked, shocked but still in analytical mode. He knew that if there was going to be any hope of rescuing them, he couldn’t allow for shock to override the collection of all known information.
“It… It’s not my world, they, they aren’t there, The Deoxys couldn’t find them…” He pauses and patters his feet a bit. “They’re searching yours from just out of the atmosphere.”
There was a moment of silence among the turtles. Tokka whispered something to Mikey, and Mikey whispered back, but Raphael wasn’t able to make out what was said, and he didn’t think it worthy of snooping in Mikey’s head. In truth, Mikey had simply explained who Entei was. “Who did this? Do you know?” Leo asked.
“Who’s gone, for that matter?” Raphael added.
“…” Entei eyes flared for a bit, “Darkrai, Cobalion, Celebi, …Raikou, and… and… Arceus.” There was a tinge of fear at the last one, and Entei shook his head at Leo. “I only know that it was humans.”
