The boy turtles and Dragonlord soon began to engage in battle.

Raph: Alright, sucker! 8 on 1, your history!

Dragonlord: *chuckles* This will be fun. *he glows with energy and to the surprise of each turtle, he duplicates into 4 versions of himself*

Amoly: Welp..this is bad.

Dragonlord: Hahahaha! Time to die, turtles!

the 4 clones attack a turtle pair each, Leonardo and Venus meanwhile were clashing with the real Dragonlord. Venus attempted a chi ball, only for Dragonlord to kick her in the gut sending her down.

Venus: Guh!

Leo: Venus! *swings his katanas at Dragonlord and helps her up*

Venus: Thanks..

One of the clones of Dragonlord tussled with Donatello and Talena, despite their skill with the bo staff and strategy, Dragonlord was more than a match for them combined, Donnie jumped behind Dragonlord and tried to choke him with his staff while Talena swung at the chest with her bo staff numerous times, the clone of Dragonlord however headbutted Donnie, breaking free and tossing him at her.

Elsewhere the second clone of Dragonlord clashed with Raphael and Larota, ducking each of their attacks and effortlessly mocking their aggressive tactics.

Dragonlord clone: Stop trying to hit me and hit me

Larota: Shut up!!

Raph: *jabs his torso with his sai* How bout that for hitting! *is struck in the neck* Guh!!

Larota: HYAAH!! *jumps onto his back*

Dragonlord clone: *is pierced in the back* Argh!

Raph: Your not that-- Guh!!! *The clone backhands him*

Larota: Raph!! Woah!! *is swung around and then tossed at Raph*

Meanwhile the third clone was dealing with Mikey and Amoly, despite them the youngest, they held their own the best they could, sadly the third clone easily withheld them. Mikey swung at the legs with his nunchucks while Amoly used her Manriki to whip at him, only for him to catch it at the right time and swing her right into Mikey

Amoly: Ow!

Mikey: Ack...Bummer..

The two got up and attempted to attack again, only for the clone to kick the both of them

All eight turtles found themselves together while the clones of Dragonlord joined up again as one

Dragonlord: Muhahaha! How pathetic!

Meanwhile the turtles allies caught up with them while the Foot were busy with the remaining Rank. Splinter, Casey carrying April, Leatherhead, Fangstriker, Prideclaw, Stockman and Karai all entered.

Leo: *rises up with the rest of the turtles* You won't win, Dragonlord, we won't let you!

Dragonlord:..*he chuckles as his amulet glows bright* Fools..prepare to be vanquished

Leo: Attack!

The heroes all charged at him, but Dragonlords amulet was glowing brighter suddenly he let out a huge burst of mystic energy, knocking back the heroes and destroying the roof.

Baxter: *wounded with his mech crippled* Argh...*looks up* Oh..my...god...

The humongous true form of Dragonlord let out a huge roar.

Dragonlord: ROAARRRR!!!!
