STORY OVERVIEW:

The Turtles are trying to put together a plan to save NYC from an attack by King Ghidorah. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so Splinter suggests an ancient Foot Clan ritual that has worked in the past for the Kaiju. The only problem with this plan is they will need to meditate well touching Ghidorah. The plan is just crazy enough that it will work. Well connected with Ghidorah, they discovered that Shredder and Krang are using a similar technique with Dimension x tech to control the Kaiju. Now they must go to Japan and see if they can use the technique on Godzilla to gain the king of all allies. Unfortunately, this method has never worked on him before.
