In the middle of the desolated city, Zack gets in his knees as he holds up a dying Tsuki, crying tears as he stares at her broken face. Near him were Golem, Luka, and Felix, all three looking at Zack and Tsuki. Luka holds onto Golem's right arm as she cries silently, and Felix simply balls his hand into a fist in both sadness and anger.

Zack didn't want Tsuki to die. Not like this...not when it's out of her control...

Suddenly, Golem walks up to Zack and Tsuki, his bulky hands glowing green. He outstretches his arms and begins to emit a cloud of green mist over Tsuki.

Golem: Healing...activated...

Zack, surprised and anxious, looks at Tsuki as the green mist washes over her. However, the mist seems to be failing to work, and Golem's body begins releasing sparks as a result of going into overdrive. Zack looks at Golem before looking back at Tsuki. Zack, in desperation, grabs Golem's left arm.

Zack: Golem! Let me help!

Golem: Negative...danger levels...too high...

Zack: I don't care! If being rendered disabled results in Tsuki living...I'm willing to make that sacrifice!

Golem looks at Zack with a stern look before lowering his eyes and holding onto Zack's arm. Golem's left hand glows red as he begins draining Zack's energy to revive Tsuki. Zack's eyes begin to dim as his body stumbles to the ground. Golem finishes healing, and him along with Luka and Felix look at Tsuki in anticipation.

Golem: ...

Felix: ...

Luka: C'mon, Tsuki...

Tsuki's face begins to form back together, and she gasps as she opens both her eyes, her corrupted eye now glowing a mixture of red and green. She sits upright as she looks at Golem, Luka, and Felix. All three are relieved to see her alive and well.

Luka and Felix: Tsuki, you're alive!

Tsuki: Yeah...ah, where's Zack?

Both suddenly frown sadly while Golem points to Zack lying on the ground, curled up. Tsuki, concerned, shakes Zack.

Tsuki: Zack! ZACK! What's wrong!?

Zack's dim eyes look at Tsuki, and he slowly realizes that she's alive once more. Zack is shocked before smiling.

Zack: It worked...

Tsuki holds Zack's hand as she watches him smile. Tsuki begins to cry as she realizes what Zack has done.

Tsuki: Zack...please don't go...

Zack uses the last of his energy to hold Tsuki's hands. His eyes stream tears as he can feel the end coming.

Zack: It'll be okay, Tsuki...I've lived long enough already...but you still have so much more to do...please, be safe...and remember that...

Zack's eyes go dimmer and dimmer as he speaks...

Zack: ...I'll be watching over you...

Zack's eyes shut down completely as his whole body deactivates. Tsuki cries and holds Zack's hands for as long as possible. Luka hugs Golem while crying, and Felix droops his head down in mourning. Eventually, Tsuki rests Zack's hands on the pavement gently. She then slowly stands up, staring down at Zack's lifeless body.

Tsuki: ...And I won't forget you...

Tsuki turns to look at Golem, Felix, and Luka, her eyes filled with determination. It was just then that Megalith shows up, towering over the group. Tsuki is taken back by Megalith's massive size, but soon brushes it off.

Megalith: Come with me.

Megalith lowers down his hand, allowing Tsuki, Golem, Luka, and Felix to board. Megalith begins walking out of the city.

Felix: So where are we headed?

Megalith: The Evac.

Tsuki: Then let's waste no time.

Megalith picks up his pace as he easily walks out of the destroyed city and into the barren wasteland. Tsuki looks towards the road ahead, holding something in her hands. Zack's claws.

Tsuki: I promise, Zack...I'll continue living on for you...knowing you're watching over me...over us...

Somewhere in the skies, Zack smiles as he looks over Tsuki and the rest, alongside Donatello and Blake.
