Synopsis for the 1st Story

At the Iceberg Lounge, Penguin and Shredder prepare to open the portal between dimensions when Shredder reveals his plans to return to Gotham with more resources in order to turn the city into his fortress. Before the machine can be activated, Batman frees Dr. Khan in a joint attack with the Turtles and Splinter.

Two hours prior to the attack, the Turtles and Splinter had infiltrated the Batcave to seek Batman's aid. After encountering each other, Batman reveals that the machine to send the group home should be ready for activation and ensures them that they will return to their universe that evening.

In the present, Shredder destroys the portal and activates a subdermal bomb implanted in Dr. Khan, causing his immediate death. In response, Raphael attacks Shredder but is severely wounded, enabling Shredder to escape by helicopter; however, when Shredder enters, he finds himself greeted by Ra's al Ghul, who offers to be his new partner.
