Part One - Issue #73

Released August 9th, 2017

The story begins at a high-security Neutrino facility, where Krang is ranting at his lawyer, Councilor Vin-Bini, about how his trial is "overkill" and that he is innocent. After the defense leaves, Krang passes a device to Hakk-R.

Meanwhile, the Turtles are preparing to head to Dimension X with the Fugitoid, and Raphael is saying farewell to Pepperoni. They are greeted by Commander Dask and taken through the portal, but are horrified to see Leatherhead on the other side. It turns out that he was brought there as a witness against Krang.

The Turtles are warmly welcomed back by the Neutrino royal family, especially Princess Trib. But not all is good news, as they reveal that the Malignoid Swam is approaching. Additionally, they have need of key witnesses to Krang's war atrocities, without which the case against him is too thin to succeed.

Suddenly Hakk-R injects the prosecutor, Councilor Apap, with a poison that instantly kills him. Leatherhead manages to drag out the assassin, only to have a substance squirted in his eyes, temporarily blinding him. The Turtles prepare to take him on, and Leatherhead grabs him once again, only for Hakk-R to teleport out of the room.

King Zenter is horrified, and afraid that the case may be lost because of Apap's death, since he had great knowledge about the evidence. But Leonardo declares that they have come too far to give up, and appoints Fugitoid the new prosecutor. The Turtles, meanwhile, head off to gather up the witnesses and bring them back for the trial.
