The Turtles agree to help Nova and try to keep her safe from Zaxx, who is determined to capture the young princess and bring her back to his employer. However, they soon realize that Nova's power is not only sought after by Zaxx, but also by Krang, who sees it as a weapon to use against the Turtles and conquer Earth.
