The Target

Third Person P.O.V.

It was 3:00 and the turtles were just getting off the bus from school and on their way to their dorm.

Raph: "I... Hate... science! I got a quiz and test back-to-back."

"If you want, I could help you study." Donnie offered

"Yeah right. Study the whole weekend and miss out on my chance to head to the Bash tonight."

Leo: "You'll be fine. You put up with Donnie everyday."

"Hey!"

"Just kidding."

"Haha, Donnie fell for that joke. What do you think Dannie?"

But Dannie wasn't listening. He was all up in the book he was carrying and reading.

"Dannie?" That time got his attention.

"Huh? Oh sorry guys, I was all into this book from psychology class."

"What's that?" Mikey asked

"It's a study about the brain, brain cells, brain lobes-"

"In other words, we study how the brain works." Dannie intervened

"Why would you be interested in brain studies?"

"A friend back at school told me that we mostly use just 10 percent of our brains."

"Mikey probably doesn't even use that much of his brain." Raph teased

"Hey!" Mikey was about to tackle his brother, but Leo stopped him.

"Relax Mikey, it's not something to get worked up about."

"Anyway, my friend told me that using more than 10% of our brain would be extraordinary. I actually wish I could experience that."

"Ha, if you did you would be a second version of Donnie. You're better the way you are."

Donnie glared at him while Dannie simply smiled and rolled his eyes.

Later on tonight...

The turtles were at the Bash with their friends and right now Dannie was playing pool with Po and Raph.

Po: "You wish you could use more of your brain? Aren't you already using all of it?"

"It's complicated to explain, Po. Let's just say that I'm just dreaming right now."

"Ok." He said as he took his turn and aimed for the #9 cue ball. He shoots and he scores.

"Yeah, that's another point for me!"

"Don't get so cocky." Raph said in a competitive tone.

Leo was at the bar drinking soda and talking to the bartender.

"So then, he walks over and starts dancing like nobody's watching. We end up laughing behind his back, and he wasn't paying attention not one bit."

(chuckles) "That's the thing when you do something that you love. You want in on a little secret?"

Leo leaned on a little closer to hear.

"I did that as well. Started disco dancing in my room when I was a kid, and when my ma came in I was embarrassed that she saw me dancing."

Leo almost burst into into laughter, but his hand was quicker than his mouth and he covered to avoid being rude.

"It's the truth" he said as he grabbed a beer bottle and started cleaning it. "I was utterly humiliated that she saw dancing like a disco maniac."

Leo then let out his laughter and couldn't breathe from all the laughing. Then, Serena and Danny came to the bar.

"Can I get 2 sodas for me and my sister, please?"

"Can you make mine a Pepsi?"

"Done and done"

Leo: "Hey guys, how's it going?"

"Every time we come here, it feels like so alive to be here."

"My brother and I just can't get enough of this place."

Once they got their drinks, the two siblings took a few sips and got back to dancing.

Donnie was playing poker with a few other people. He just won the round and took a few chips.

"You got some sort of trick up your sleeve, D."

"No tricks. I would bet on it."

"You willing to make that bet?"

Donnie leaned closer to the saber tooth showing no fear.

"10 bucks."

The guy leaned in as well.

"You're on. Prepare to lose."

They played their cards to the best of their ability and in the end...

"Ha! I win! Pay me."

"What? No! I want a rematch."

"Sorry for you, Jack. But I won fair and square."

"You win this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

"Anytime, anyplace."

Jack uttered a low growl, paid Donnie, and then the table got back to playing all around. Eventually, 1:00 came and everyone left.

Raph: "Nice pool skills, Dannie."

"Except I didn't win in the end."

"I'll let you guys win next time." Po said, trying to make Dannie and Raph feel better.

Crane: "Don't get such a big ego, Po."

The group shared a few laughs and stories as they made their way down the path until they reached the split in the road. The turtles went to their dorm and decided to wind down and get some shut-eye.

But, unbeknownst to them someone was watching them while they were walking to their dorm.

"Looks like I just found my first victims to play with. Once I start, they won't be able to stop me."

So this animal held up his paw and out came a little dark cloud, it flew to the dorm and went inside through the crack in the door. It looked around in the main room and saw nobody there. It went in the direction of the bedrooms and choose a room. It was Leo's room and both he and Dannie were in bed asleep. Dannie was sleeping on an air mattress on the floor, and he rolled over facing the dark cloud hovering in front of him.

The dust cloud morphed into a robotic like creature and went in through his mouth and straight to his brain. Once it got there...

"(gasp) What the heck?" he whispered. He looked over at Leo and he was too deep asleep to notice that Dannie woke up.

Then all of a sudden, he felt dizzy and in a snap he blacked out. He was no longer sleeping, but in a sleepy trance.

Winding the clock back a bit...

Po, the Furious Five, and the Tiger Twins were just coming in their dorm.

Tigress: "I gotta get some sleep. I almost passed out at the Bash."

"Me too" Crane agreed

"We all do" Viper pointed out

So everyone went to their beds and called it a day. What they didn't notice was that a dark cloud came in and was roaming the hall. It then stopped at Po's room and went in his room. It morphed into a robotic like creature and landed on his belly. It marched on him to his face and crawled in through his mouth. The same thing happened to him.

"(gasp) What was that?" He then blacked out and fell into a sleepy trance.

Dannie and Po were in for a wild ride and nobody else noticed their predicament.
