Synopsis

   The Escape : A Triceraton mothership is nearing the planet Earth. The commander of the craft has followed the beacon from the homing device on the D.A.R.P.A. base - but we discover that all is not well on the vessel. It seems that the Triceraton ship had been sent to trace the Transmat signal that the TMNT used to return home after the Turtles' first encounter with the saurian aliens ( TMNT Volume One #6) - but something went awry during the pursuit and the Triceratons lost the signal, thus becoming lost in space.

As soon as the coast is clear, the Triceraton fires on his companion, killing him. Michaelangelo arrives and the Triceraton claims that the humans killed their compatriot. The pair rejoin the others.  Leonardo announces that they've found an escape route through some sort of cave. As the team navigates the tunnels, they come upon a steep cliff. At the bottom of the ravine lies a monstrous starfish-like alien. Before anyone can react, the monster shoots a tentacle out of its maw that impales Nobody through the chest. The Triceraton fires at the behemoth, but it retracts its appendage and devours Nobody. Casey grabs a bomb out of Nobody's abandoned duffel bag and tosses it onto the monster lying below. The blast cripples the creature,...
