As they continue evasion, the Turtles and Professor Honeycutt decide to consult smugglers to get off D'Hoonnib. Despite their efforts to remain undercover, the Turtles soon find out that the Federation is not the only group targeting Professor Honeycutt. A dinosaur-like species, known as the Triceratons, enter the equation and apprehend the Fugitoid. Seeing Professor Honeycutt as their only hope for returning to Earth, the Turtles pursue the Triceratons to a scout ship camouflaged as a bunker.
