The epic of Battle Nexus concludes with the most emotionally devastating fight yet when Michelangelo faces off against an old friend long thought dead: It’s Slash! Once a mindless brute who grew to become one of the Turtles’ closest friends, Slash sacrificed himself to save all of Burnow Island. But how did he survive? How did he end up in the Battle Nexus? And why is he determined to destroy Mikey? Whatever the reasons, if Michelangelo falters in this fight against someone he loves, it’s all over for the Ninja Turtles... especially when the big bad battle master has one final hand to play...
