The survival of the two will one day be put to a hard test, however, by Verminator Rex and his plunderers, the Honey Badger Ravagers, who discovered and tracked them. They attack the two [[Turtles]] after they have pitched their night camp, and overpower Raphael, who is keeps vigil. Instead of killing or robbing him immediately, Verminator Rex asks him about a girl and a map; Raphael, impulsive as always, answers this question with his fist and is beaten up by the Ravagers. A help call to Donatello turns the tide, but Raphael and Donatello then notice a huge horde of Ravagers, which is gaining strength, and can escape after a wild chase with scarce distress.

Raphael drags himself through the desert, but then reaches the end of his strength and collapses, then unexpectedly is picked up by Donatello, who has overpowered the mutant in the meantime and has recaptured the Shellraiser again. Raphael is still quite nauseous about the theft by the mutant, and he is willing to put them in trouble, but Donatello convinces him to accept the unwanted passenger, and so they continue their journey.

Plot

Sometime in an alternate future, the earth was hit by the detonation of a massive Mutagen Bomb, which disrupted the ecosphere and completely changed the world as we know it. The earth turned into a single sand-covered wasteland. Humanity was completely extinguished, and only the mutants were tough and adaptive enough to survive in the twisted environment. Through this apocalyptic world, Raphael, whose memories of his former life after the explosion of the bomb are only misty for him, and Donatello, trapped in a robotic shell, as the seemingly only survivors of their family in the Shellraiser, constantly fighting for bare survival.

The survival of the two will one day be put to a hard test, however, by Verminator Rex and his plunderers, the Honey Badger Ravagers, who discovered and tracked them. They attack the two Turtles after they have pitched their night camp, and overpower Raphael, who is keeps vigil. Instead of killing or robbing him immediately, Verminator Rex asks him about a girl and a map; Raphael, impulsive as always, answers this question with his fist and is beaten up by the Ravagers. A help call to Donatello turns the tide, but Raphael and Donatello then notice a huge horde of Ravagers, which is gaining strength, and can escape after a wild chase with scarce distress.

The next morning they reach the ruins of an old resting place. While Donatello is in his resting phase, Raphael is searching for suitable supplies there, but is attacked by a meerkat mutant and is put out of combat with a electro-pole. When Raphael awakens again from his impotence, the mutant, along with the Shellraiser has disappeared. Raphael drags himself through the desert, but then reaches the end of his strength and collapses, then unexpectedly is picked up by Donatello, who has overpowered the mutant in the meantime and has recaptured the Shellraiser again. Raphael is still quite nauseous about the theft by the mutant, and he is willing to put them in trouble, but Donatello convinces him to accept the unwanted passenger, and so they continue their journey.

When Donatello realizes during the journey that they are approaching a dangerous region called "The Impossible Desert," the young mutant, named Mira, explains that she was on her way there when she met the Turtles. Her goal, as she explained to them, is the oasis, a piece of grassland, of which only myths and legends are known.
