A/N: I only own Elisabetta and Catharina.
I'm sorry if I'm using a name created by someone else, but there are not enough female renaissance artists with names as long as the Turtles that can be easily shorted, so let me know, and I'll try to make my versions different from your versions.
Character bios:
Elisabetta, Elisa or Ellie for short - named after Elisabetta Sirani.
Elisa is the third-eldest and oldest girl in the family - older than Don, Cath and Mikey, but younger than Leo and Raph - has harlequin green skin, wears a pink mask that was tied in a bow, with the ends running down her shell - as it's longer than the boys - and has a pair of Kamas.
Like Raph, she can be sometimes can a bit hotheaded, but has much better control over her anger unlike him, and can sometimes be the only one who can clam him down. Being the eldest girl, she often acts as the voice of reason in the family, although sometimes can't help but let the others fight amongst themselves, but she only when they not fighting somebody else. She gets very annoyed with Mikey's jokes, but deep down knows he has a serious side - which he rarely shows.
Catharina, Cath or Cathy for short - named after Catharina van Hemessen.
Cath is the second-youngest in the family - only Mikey is younger than her - has shamrock green skin, wears a white mask similar to Elisa's, and has a pair of Tonfas.
After Donnie, Cath is smartest in the family, and often has to serve as translator for his scientific talk. She often helps him in the lab during his research as is also the family doctor, as she studies medicine in her spare time - either from books or medical shows she watches - to help treat her family's injuries. Like Leo, she tends to take her training seriously, especially after their first battle with the Shedder.
In a dark alleyway on a night of a full moon, six figures were cornered up against a wall.
Leonardo: My name is Leonardo, and right now my siblings and I are in a mess of trouble.
A bunch of punks came closer to the six figures, carrying bats, chains, pipes and even staffs, as one of the figures lowered his eyelids.
Leonardo: Our backs are up against the wall in some trash strewn ally. Cornered by the toughest street gang on the East side.
The gang all stared at the figures.
"Look at the freaks?" one asked.
"What's with the dweeby costumes?" another asked rudely.
"This ain't Halloween!" a third snarled.
"You're going down freaks!" the leader announced.
He pulled a staff out from the back of his jacket, and then spun it in front of him.
"Yeah!" some of the gang laughed.
"Nobody messes with the Purple Dragons..." the leader declared, pointing at the figures.
One-by-one, the figures came out of the shadows - all giant turtles wearing masks and carrying ninja weapons. The first had a purple mask and carried a Bo Staff, the second a white mask with a pair of Tonfas, the third an orange mask with a pair of Nunchunks, the fifth a red mask with a pair of Sais, the fifth a pink mask with a pair of Kamas, and the sixth, a blue mask with a Katana - another being held in the holder on his back.
"..especially wearing stupid turtle costumes!" the leader finished.
The turtle with the Katana took the over out and gritted his teeth while crossing them over.
Leonardo: He's wrong! We're not wearing costumes.
The turtles then all jumped and got ready to fight the gang.
"Hyah!" they all shouted.
In the city of New York, in the dead of night, people above the surface were going about their business on their way home or driving through town. Unknown to anyone however, in the sewers beneath the city, in a hidden lair, a giant mutant rat called Splinter - dressed in a brown kimono - was holding a lit candle with a walking stick.
"Remember, to be a true ninja, you must become one with the shadows." he explained to his students, who were hidden around the lair. "Darkness gives the ninja power, while light revels the ninja's presence. Now, can you extinguish this flame without reveling yourselves?"
He flipped the candle off his stick and caught it, and then put his stick down.
He then ducked as one of his students - carrying a Bo Staff jumped over him to extinguish the candle, causing him to miss and crash against a well, as he had breathed loudly.
"Too noisey, Donatello." he told him.
Another of his students then jumped towards him quietly while swinging a nunchunk, but when he got to Splinter, the rat stood up, causing him to lose his balance and crash into Donnie.
"Hey!" Donnie cried.
"Ow!" the student moaned.
"Too clumsy, Michelangelo." Splinter said.
A third student - carrying a pair of Tonfas - then came down from the ceiling, but accidently hit a pipe with its foot, causing Splinter to move out of the way, and then kicked it towards the other two.
"Oh!" it moaned, this one female.
"Too foolhardy, Catharina." Splinter told her.
A fourth then walked towards Splinter quietly - carrying a pair of Kamas - not making a noise, but then jumped and tried to put out the candle, but Splinter ducked before it could, causing it to crash into the others.
"Not your best attempt, Elisabetta." Splinter told her, as it was another girl.
A fifth then creeped up behind him - carrying a pair of Sais - and then jumped over him, but missed as he ducked. The student then landed on the floor and turned to him with determination, as Splinter got up and walked backwards slightly. The student then twirled his Sais around, then charged at Splinter, but he was a bit loud, as Splinter turned and tripped him over with his walking stick, causing him to crash into the other four.
"Ahh!" he growled.
"Ow!" Mikey moaned.
"Oh!" Cath groaned.
They all moaned as Splinter stood back up and looked at them all.
"Poor choice, Raphael." he told the fifth student.
Unknown to him, his sixth student was right above him - with a pair of Katana holders against his back, with a Katana in each. He then opened his eyes, brought out his Katanas, sliced the candle in half, and then caught the flaming end with one once he hit the ground, reveling himself to be a giant turtle - just like the rest. He brought the candle to his beak, and then blew it out, and then Splinter turned the lights on as he threw the candle piece in his hand, while the others all got up.
"Well done, Leonardo." he told his student.
His siblings watched as Leo kept throwing the candle piece up and down.
"Teacher's pet." Raph snarled.
"Ninja dropout." Leo joked, throwing the candle at him.
"Ooh!" the others mocked, as Raph growled and came at Leo with an angry look - crunching up the candle piece as he did.
"My sons." Splinter said.
They all turned to him as he slapped his eye in annoyance.
"Ah. My children, if you are to become true ninja, you must work harder." he explained, as they all sat down in a line in front of him - Don on Splinter's far right, Elisa beside him, then Raph, Leo, Cath, and then Mikey.
Cath and Elisa were the only girls in the house, but both cared a lot for their brothers and adopted father.
"Your path in life will not be an easy one." Splinter explained, as Mikey spotted a fly buzzing over him. "The outside world will not be a friendly place for you."
Mikey began to catch the fly with his hand while the others listened to their master.
"You six are different in ways the surface dwellers would never understand. To survive, you must master these skills I teach you." Splinter explained, as Mikey kept trying to grab the fly. "Ninjutsu powers of stealth and secrecy. You must become kage - shadow warriors - and you must never be discovered by the outside world."
Mikey then caught the fly in his hands, which made him grin, but then saw Splinter looking angry at him.
"Huh?" he muttered.
Before Splinter could say anything else, the ground began to shake.
"Huh? What is that noise?" he wondered.
Debris from the ceiling began to fall to the floor, and the turtles all got up and turned around.
"Whoa! Earthquake!" Mikey exclaimed.
"In New York?" Donnie questioned.
"It's possible, but not very likely." Cath deduced.
Part of a wall nearly fell onto them both, but they both moved away just in time. A small hole then burst out from the bottom of the wall, and then a tiny metal robot came out of it. The turtles all brought out their weapons, as it came into the lair, followed by many more, which then turned and charged at them.
"What are those things?" Leo asked.
"New York City cockroaches." Mikey guessed sarcastically.
"Whatever they are, they picked the wrong party to crash!" Raph growled.
He then kicked one of the metal things as it came at him, sending it flying, and then got stuck upside down in the ground.
"Smooth move, bro." Elisa joked.
Another one then charged at them, but Donnie hit it with his Bo with a bat, then tried to do the same with a third, but it caught it with its dentures, so he then lifted it up and smashed it against the floor.
Elisa jumped and stabbed one right in the head with her Kamas, then sliced off another's head as it jumped at her.
Cath wacked one with one of her Tonfas as it came at her, knocking it against a wall, then tried to hit another with one, but it grabbed the end as she swung it around, so then she hit it on the head with her other Tonfa.
Mikey jumped while spinning his Nunchucks and knocked off the heads of two of them, followed by a third and then a fourth, and then knocked another two away.
"Hey, Leo, think fast!" he shouted, grabbing a seventh.
He spun around and threw it to Leo, who sliced it in half with his Katanas. He then jumped and sliced another with them, then sliced them through a third, which split in half once they landed on the ground.
Master Splinter whacked one in the head with his walking stick as another five approached him
Leo turned and watched worriedly, as Splinter whacked another away, followed by another.
"We have to help Master Splinter!" he shouted, before he and his siblings charged at the metal things near him. "Come on!"
Leo kicked one as it jumped at him, Cath whacked another towards Elisa with her Tonfa - who then stabbed it with one of her Kamas.
"Nice one, sis." Cath commented.
"Thanks." Elisa said, holding her thumb up.
Raph stabbed one with his Sai, Don then stood on one, and then Mikey knocked one of a pillar - accidently destroying it in the process. Splinter then whack his walking stick at two of the four in front of him, knocking them back.
As they kept fighting, they didn't know that the metal things were chewing up the support beams.
The turtles began to run towards Splinter, and then Raph jumped and knocked one of the metal things away with his Sai. Donnie whack another in the head with his Bo, while Cath smashed another against a wall with her Tonfa. Leo and Elisa both looked saw the roof about to cave in, freaking them out, as some of the metal things fell onto the floor.
"Look out!" Leo shouted, grabbing Raph as he was about to stab one.
He pulled Raph back before the ceiling collapsed onto him, destroying two of the metal things.
"You alright?" Elisa asked her brother.
"Fine." Raph grunted.
They all looked and saw Splinter on the other side of the debris, fighting the remaining metal things, when more of the ceiling fell between them.
The turtles all gasped worriedly before running through the smoke creating by the debris.
"Oh, no." Don muttered.
"Master Splinter!" Raph cried.
"Sensei!" Cath cried worriedly.
Leo was the first through the smoke to the debris.
"Master Splinter! Master Splinter!" he called, trying to move some of the debris, but got no replied. "No!"
A few minutes later, one of the metal things moved its head - as it was still active - before Raph stood on it with his foot, destroying it. He looked at it angrily, before twirling his Sais and then put then away in his belt.
"What the shell are those things?" Mikey wondered, staring at another with Elisa.
"You got me, bro." Elisa stated, as Raph approached them both.
"Well, whatever they were..." he snarled, before kicking it away from them. "..they're junk now."
Leo, Don and Cath meanwhile, were trying to pull the debris loose to free Splinter.
"Guys, Splinter, we've got to find Splinter." Leo reminded them, looking through a small gap in the debris, but couldn't see anything.
The three ran towards their siblings.
"Master Splinter, can you here me?!" Leo called.
Cath turned to Donnie. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked.
Donnie nodded, and took something out of his bag that he had wrapped around him.
"Donatello, anyway too..?" Leo asked, before they all heard a beep and turned to him. "What are you doing?"
"Shell-cell." Don explained, pointing at the thing by his ear. "I'm calling Master Splinter, I hope."
"Let's hope he knows how to answer it." Elisa hoped.
On the other side of the debris, Master Splinter was lying unconscious, when a ringing noise woke him up. He sat himself up while rubbing his head, and then took out a Shell-cell from his kimono, which then opened up.
"Hmm. Which button do you press...?" he wondered, pressing buttons.
On the other side, Donnie could hear Splinter, as he'd already answered it.
"..to answer this thing."
Donnie, Leo and Cath smiled in relief, as they were closest.
"At least he answered it." Cath sighed happily.
"Hello?"
Leo took the Shell-cell off Don. "Master Splinter, are you alright?" he asked.
"Hello?"
"Master Splinter." Leo said.
"Stupid device!" Splinter groaned.
"You don't have to press any buttons." Leo explained.
On the other side, Splinter now had the Shell-cell against his ear.
"You already answered it." Leo assured.
"Uh...Leonardo, whatever those metallically menaces are, they have manged to eat through the support structure of our home." Splinter explained.
On the other side, the six turtles were all listening closely.
"We must leave right away." Splinter explained. "Meet me at the old drainage junction near south-point."
Mikey moved in to listen closer, but then Raph and Elisa shoved him away.
"Ohh!" he moaned.
Cath took out a map from Donnie's duffle bag and opened it up, showing them the sewer system under the city.
"What do you think?" she asked.
"If we take the south conduit, it will intersect with the old drainage tunnel." Donnie explained, showing the others.
"We'll meet you there, Sensei." Leo assured.
Mikey came back up and wrapped his arms around Donnie and Cath.
"What he say?" he asked. "What he say? Did he mention me?"
Raph then pushed him away again in annoyance.
"You need to control that ego of yours, little brother." Elisa scowled.
Mikey looked up nervously at her.
A few minutes later, Don and Cath had packed some of their things into Don's duffle bag, in case they needed them, while Leo, Raph Elisa stood by the entrance, as Mikey looked up at a pipe - which was now broke in half, as water dripped down from it.
"Good-bye broken pipe. Good-bye grungy payphone. Good-bye dented manhole cover." Mikey said, before Raph began to approach him. "Good-bye home sweet home."
"Hello cruel world. Come on." Raph said, pulling Mikey's mask back.
"Ooh!" he groaned.
Leo then led the others through the hole in wall, before noticing some holes in the floor.
"Looks like those things have been through here." he deduced.
"I wonder how much damage they've done to the whole sewers then?" Elisa wondered.
"You got me, sis." Cath shrugged.
"These walls are seriously compromised." Don explained, pointing at the ceiling. "It's lucky this roof has caved in."
They then stopped in the tracks, making Don take his words back.
"You were saying?" Raph asked.
"Ah! Can't go forward, can't go back." Leo muttered.
"Well, now what?" Elisa asked.
"Looks like we go up." Raph said.
He walked towards a ladder leading to the surface as the others followed.
"Hitting the surface is a bad idea." Leo argued, as Raph began to climb.
"We've got no other way to go, Leo." Donnie argued.
"Don's right. It's our only option." Cath agreed.
Leo sighed. "Alright." he gave in, turning to the others. "But we're only going up to go down the next manhole, got it. No fooling around. Remember what Sensei said; it's dangerous for us to be seen, let alone captured. We need to stay out of sight."
"We got it the first thousand times, Leo." Raph reminded. "Just follow my lead."
He began to climb up the ladder, and then lifted up the manhole cover at the top - which was in an alleyway. Once he saw no one was around, he jumped out and hid behind a wall, as Leo poked his head out.
"Come on, Leo, move it!" Mikey complained, waving his hand by his face, getting Leo's attention - as he was below Leo. "I don't wanna be staring at your butt any longer than I have too."
Raph was about to move into the city, when he and Leo heard a noise.
"Shush, guys." Leo whispered.
He ducked down as Raph hid against the shadows off one of the buildings, just as a man on a red scooter pasted by.
Raph then checked to see if the area was clear while approaching a door, but could hear some talking inside.
"Drink up, Janey." a woman said.
"Come on!" a man complained.
"Hey!" a woman laughed.
Raph jumped onto a canopy on top of the door, just as the two people came out of the door laughing, and then he jumped and held onto a lamppost. He then looked down the street, and saw a manhole cover in an ally across it.
"Ah! Manhole cover, 12 o'clock." he sighed.
He jumped from the lamppost onto the road, and then hopped over a blue car as a yellow one came down the street, just missing sight of him. He then got up, only to see a blue armoured car heading towards him.
"Agh!" he grumbled.
He hid behind the front of the car, as the armoured car came to a stop.
"Now what?" he mumbled.
The armoured car then backed up into the alleyway, as Raph hid behind the wall near it as it stopped, and then the headlights went out. The back doors opened - as well as the drivers door - and at least for punks came out of the van, heading for a door to the building, which one then opened before they went inside.
Once inside, Raph came out of hiding and ran towards the armoured car, and then looked under it - to see one of the front tires right over the manhole cover.
"Great! Just great!" he moaned sarcastically. "The old turtle luck and true to form."
He then got up and kicked the back end of the armoured car in anger.
"Way to be stealthy, Raph." Leo said sarcastically.
Raph turned and saw his siblings hiding behind the wall.
"Yeah." Mikey joked. "I don't think they heard you over in Joysey."
"Do you want us to get caught?" Elisa asked annoyingly.
"Give me a hand!" Raph demanded, pointing at the armoured car.
Mikey raised his arms to joke, when Raph held his finger up.
"Don't...even...think...about it, Mikey!" he snarled.
Leo pointed to Mikey - who was behind him - in annoyance, while Elisa hit him on the back on the head.
"Ah. Forget you guys, I'll push it myself." Raph mumbled, as he walked to the back off the van.
He then began to push on it, but it wouldn't budge, as it was heavy, when they all head voices inside.
"Oh, man, what a score." a voice said.
Raph then heard laughter, and turned and saw a shadow on the other side of the door window.
"Hide Raph!" Leo hissed, getting Raph's attention. "Come on! Hurry!"
"Over here!" Elisa hissed. "Quick!"
Raph ignored them both and hid inside the armoured car just as the building's door opened.
"No!" Leo hissed.
"Whoa!" Mikey moaned, covered his eyes. "Poor choice, Raphael."
"Only he'd do something stupid like that." Elisa groaned quietly.
"Like you wouldn't, sis?" Cath asked innocently. "I mean, you can be hotheaded like him sometimes."
"Yeah, but I'm not as stupid as he is." Elisa argued.
The four men came walking out of the building carrying a duffle bag of money each.
"Did you see the way that guy squirmed when we took his cash!" their leader laughed, who had blue hair, a black shirt, and a yellow and purple over shirt, with a purple dragon on either sleeve - his name was John. "Creep, man. Creep to be pleased by us wolves!"
One by one, they began throwing in the sacks of money into the back of the armoured car, but couldn't see Raph - as he was hanging onto the ceiling. John then closed the doors, and then typed up a code on the lock. They then all got into the car and drove off out of the alley, as the five remaining turtles ducked behind the blue car, and then watched it leave.
"Oh, man." Donnie moaned.
"Imagine their surprise when they open the back of that truck?" Mikey joked.
"This is exactly what Master Splinter was talking about." Leo argued. "We've gotta get him outta there."
Donnie brought out his Bo Staff as they all ran towards a building.
"Last one to the roof hatched from a rotten egg!" he joked, bending his Bo forward, and then swung onto a nearby fire escape.
"You're on, bro!" Cath shouted, jumping after him.
The others then followed, and then made it to the rooftop - Mikey coming in last. They then all ran to the edge of the building, and saw the armoured car down below them on the street.
"We can cut them off at 3rd and 1st." Leo explained.
"If we run like crazy." Don added.
"Is there any other way to run?" Mikey asked, as they ran along the building.
"I don't think there is, little brother." Elisa teased.
The armoured car turned right on the road, as the turtles all jumped onto another building.
"Ha, ha, yeah!" Mikey laughed, racing ahead of the others, as they jumped from building to building. "You guys are too slow!"
He then looked back, as his four siblings all jumped and flipped over him, before they kept on running.
"Hey!" he complained, before racing after them.
They then all kept jumping from building to building, but then Mikey jumped on top of a flat rooftop door, and then slid down the length of it, before flipping himself forward. He took out one of his Nunchucks out, and then used it like a zipline on a washing line, but then crashed into a green shirt, causing him to crash onto another rooftop. He then sniffed it, before removing it from his face.
"Hmm. Springtime fresh." he breathed.
Cath then landed near him as the others kept running off.
"Come on, you goofball." she said, holding her hand out.
He then took it as she helped her up, then he threw the shirt down, before they ran after the others and jumped off the building.
"Whoo-hoo!" Mikey whooped.
Down in the sewers, Master Splinter was walking towards a lit room, and once inside, saw it was the place he was heading for.
"Ah. The old drainage junction." he sighed, while looking around. "Now, where are my children?"
He looked down at the floor as he heard a noise.
"Huh?" he muttered.
The floor beneath him began to crack, and then he backed away, and then saw another part of the floor crack. A metal thing then jumped out of one of the holes, and then another jumped out of the other hole. They both snapped their dentures as Splinter looked startled.
Back on the surface, the armoured car was still driving through the city, with Raph now looking out of one of the back door windows. It then turned right into an alleyway, then turned right near the end of it, before backing up, so it was parked with the front facing the street.
Raph then heard the other doors open and hid himself, as the gang piled out. They all walked towards a door in the alley, when John turned to a chubby looking member near the van holding a baseball bat.
"Hey, Two Ton, watch the truck!" he ordered. "We wouldn't want somebody to steal our stolen money."
He then laughed as he walked towards the door, while Two Ton began pacing around the back of the armoured car. Unknown to him, the five other turtles were above him on one of the rooftops, watching him.
"Only one guard." Elisa smiled. "Should be easy to handle."
"You said it, sis." Cath agreed, as they hit their fists together.
Two Ton then heard a can rattle nearby. "Huh?" he wondered.
He looked at one side of the armoured car, but couldn't see nothing there. Mikey then crept up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, getting his attention.
"Hey, this is a 'no parking' zone. He's your ticket..." he joked, holding up a piece of paper. "..and here's your fine!"
He then kicked Two Ton right in the chest, knocking him right against the armoured car.
"Whoa!" he groaned, as he hit the back, knocking him out cold.
"Nice work, Mikey." Leo admitted, jumping down with Elisa.
"I gotta admit, impressive." she commented.
"Ah, it's a ninja thing." Mikey blushed, as Donnie and Cath landed behind him.
They then all approached the back of the armoured car.
"Now, let's get Raph out of there." Leo told the others, as Raph pounded on the door - his speech muffled.
"Man. What ever happened to good old fashioned padlocks?" Mikey wondered, staring at the lock.
"Ha, where's the fun in that?" Donnie grinned, taking out two screwdrivers from his bag, and then gave one to Cath. "This one's all ours!"
"We'll have him out in no time." Cath assured, as they walked towards the lock.
Raph kept pounding on the door, his speech still muffled.
"What's that, Raphael?" Mikey asked, flapping his hands by his ears - unable to help himself. "You're gonna have to speak up, dude. I can't hear you."
Raph growled angrily, and then punched the door as hard as he could, creating a long pounding noise.
"Okay, I heard that." Mikey said.
"We're trying to work here!" Don scowled, turning to him - goggles now on his eyes, Cath wearing a pair herself.
"But..." Mikey said, before Elisa put a hand over his mouth.
"Keep quiet, or they'll never get him out without alerting anyone." she hissed.
Mikey nodded, squeaking quietly.
Back in the sewers, Master Splinter was cornered by five of the metal things - three more having just showed up.
All five of them approached him as he looked worried. He turned to his left as one grabbed hold of his kimono with his dentures, then it pulled on it slightly. He then whacked it with his tail like a whip, sending it flying towards a wall, but it was only phased, as it looked showed its head, and then snapped its dentures again.
Splinter then backed away as the five metal things approached him again, raising his walking stick above his head, ready to fight. He then lowered his eyebrows, as two of the metal things snapped their dentures and then jumped at him.
Back in the alley, Don and Cath had almost finished cracking the lock to the armoured car. They both tinkered with the wires, and then Donnie caused a spark to come from two of them. They both then took their goggles off as the lock beeped, unlocking the armoured car.
"Hey, Raph, welcome back, bro." Mikey said, as Raph jumped out of the armoured car in anger.
He then took Mikey by surprise as he tackled him and they began to fight in a close grapple.
"What a hothead." Leo muttered, turning to the others.
"You said it." Cath agreed, as Raph punched Mikey.
"Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!" Mikey cried, as Raph pinned him against a wall.
Elisa turned and then saw something she didn't wanna see right now.
"Uh, guys..." she muttered, bringing out her Kamas, as Leo, Cath and Donnie turned to the gang.
"We don't have time for this." Leo explained, bringing out a Katana while Donnie and Cath brought out their weapons.
"And why not?" Raph asked, turning around.
"Because we're not alone." Mikey gulped.
The six turtles then backed against the wall the back of the armoured car was, as the gang from earlier marched towards them, carrying either bats, clubs, chains, pipes and staffs.
"Look at the freaks?" one with red hair, a black vest and yellow headband asked called Spike.
"What's with the dweeby costumes?" Two Ton asked rudely - having regain consciousness when the turtles weren't looking to alert the others.
"This ain't Halloween!" a third snarled - who was African-American, wore a lime green shirt and shorts, his dragon all over it, and with short black dreadlock hair called Cliff.
"You're going down freaks!" John announced, spinning his staff in front of him, before pointing at the Turtles. "Nobody messes with the Purple Dragons, especially wearing stupid turtle costumes!"
Donnie gritted his teeth, and then began to spin his Bo around in from the side, and then in front of him. He then whipped it in front of him, before jumping up and then spun around, scraping it along the ground.
Cath spun her Tonfas around as she held them, then back flipped while she still held them as she landed, holding her right up above her head, and her left in front of her.
Mikey spun both his Nunchucks around as he spun around and grinned, before putting the ends of them under his armpits.
Raph brought out one of his Sais and began to spin it around while growling happily. He then brought the other out and spun it around, before he jumped, spun around and did a kick move.
Elisa spun her Kamas around while spinning around in a circle, and then held them crossed over her face, directly between the eyes.
Leo did two slice moves with his Katana while spinning around - bringing the other out as he did - then did a few more slices. He then waved them both around, then jumped while spinning around, and then crossed them over like a X in front of him.
"Hyah!" they all shouted.
They all then jumped and quickly took out the gang - knocking them down into a pile one-by-one - with Two Ton, Cliff and a one with orange spikey hair, and army green shirt and a black vest - a dragon on either side - called Vince on top.
The turtles grinned while standing over the gang - Mikey spinning one of his chunks as they did.
"Let's get outta here!" John shouted, running away - the only one who hadn't been knocked out.
"I'm with you!" Spike cried, as the rest got up.
They all then ran down the alley, as the turtles watched.
"Give me some green." Mikey joked, high-threeing Raph.
"What sore losers." Cath teased.
"Well, that was easier than expected." Donnie admitted.
"I hope there are more of those guys." Raph hoped.
"Why you say that, bro?" Elisa asked.
"Cause I'm just getting warmed up." Raph told her.
Mikey then turned to the rooftop as a shadow appeared above him.
"Uh...well, looks like you got your wish, Raphie boy." he said, pointing at the figure.
The others turned to the roof as more figures showed up on it, all wearing black and grey outfits - with yellow eyelids.
"Are those guys...ninjas?" Leo questioned in shock.
"Either that or we'll all seeing things." Cath shrugged.
The figures then jumped down from the roof and formed a big circle around the six of them - revealing themselves to be ninjas, with a red foot symbol on their chests.
"Well...they're certainly ninja-esque." Mikey gulped.
"I thought we were the only ninjas in this town!" Donnie exclaimed.
"So do I!" Cath gasped.
"Be ready, for anything." Leo whispered, crossing his katanas over.
"I am so gonna enjoy this." Raph grinned.
"You're not the only one, bro." Elisa smirked.
Don bent his Bo forward and pole-vaulted over some of them, then once he landed on the ground, spun around and knocked two over with it. He then got up and saw another two heading right for him - one holding a Kanata while the second was weaponless. He blocked the swordsman's attack with his Bo, while hitting the other in the chest with it, then lowered it and tripped the swordsman up.
"Uh!" he moaned, hitting the ground.
Donnie then grinned with pride, but then both ninjas got back up, surprising him.
Cath blocked one's chopping attack with her Tonfa, as another - carrying a Bo Staff - charged at her from behind, but she spotted its shadow. She then kicked the first in chest - knocking it against a wall - then spun around tackled the second before it could strike her.
Three of them - all weaponless - then jumped and surrounded Raph - one behind him, with another on either side of him - and began to send a variety of kicks and punches at him, but he ducked under them all.
"Nice dragon kick. Ah, sweet double phoenix punch." he commented. "Hey, you know this one?"
He then spun around and kicked all three right in the chest, knocking them away.
Elisa ducked as one with a Bo Staff tried to hit her, before blocking another attack from it with one of her Kamas, but then it kicked her in the chest, knocking her back slightly. The ninja then tried to ram her with his Bo, but she dodged out of the way, and kicked it in the back, knocking it into another.
Leo blocked one's katana with one of his own, then the ninja pushed his back, but then he spun around and tripped it up, knocking him onto his chest. Leo then back flipped onto a platform above him. He then turned right as another of the ninjas jumped onto the platform, and then ran along the wall towards him. Once it got close, it tried to hit Leo with his Katana, but he blocked it with both of his, and the ninja jumped off the wall, and skidded on the platform. Leo crossed his Kanata's over as he turned to the ninja, but then another jumped onto the platform behind him. He then turned as both tried to hit him at the same time with their Kanata's, but he blocked their strikes. He then spun around again and blocked again, as they both began pushing his swords down with theirs, causing him to groan and grit his teeth as he struggled to hold them back.
Mikey spun his Nunchucks around, and then tried to hit one, but he blocked the ninja with a pair of Tonfas. He kept trying to hit it, when another - with only one Tonfa - landed behind him and tried to kick him, but he ducked. He then block both their attacks with his chucks, as he tried to hit them, as one nearly hit him in the chest with his hand.
Two more then landed in front of Don, who then both threw a Shuriken at him, as he lifted his Bo up, causing them both to get stuck into it.
"Wuh?" he muttered, looking up.
One of the ninjas then jumped and kicked him right in the chest, knocking him into one of the armoured car doors.
"Whoa!" Mikey yelped, getting knocked into the armoured car beside his brother. "Don, are we beating them, or are they beating us?" he asked, putting his Nunchucks into his belt.
Donnie yelped franticly, before pulling open the armoured car door and dashed inside. He then dragged Mikey in and closed it, before about a dozen Shuriken's hit it.
"Ask me again when we're winning, Mikey?" he asked sarcastically, opening up the door again.
"Yeah." Mikey moped, his hand right near a Shuriken. "That's what I thought."
Back in the sewers, two of the metal things were walked towards Master Splinter slowly, as he raised his walking stick up, with his eyebrows lowered. Both of the things then jumped at him, but he then whacked his stick at them like a piñata, knocking their heads off as they hit the ground. A third then jumped out from his left, but then he swiped his walking stick at it, and chopped its head off.
He then looked at what was left of the metal things, when suddenly the floor began to crack beneath his feet.
"Humm?" he muttered, looking at his feet.
The cracks then got bigger around him, and then he fell down a big hole created by them.
"Ahhhh!" he screamed.
He fell down a deep dark tunnel, then crashed against one of the edges.
"Whoa!" he groaned, as he hit it.
He then rolled around as he slid down the tunnel, before coming to a stop in another tunnel after entering a small hole. He got to his feet in pain, then wiped some of the dust of his kimono, before walking down the tunnel. His eyes then widened when he entered a large bright room beyond a big hexagon shaped door, amazed by the sight of it.
Back on the platform, Leo was still struggling to keep the two ninjas at bay, when another three jumped in front of him, trapping him. He then manged to punch the one on his right in the chest while holding his sword, and then kicked the one on his left away. The other three then pushed him against the wall, but then swung one of his swords forward, making them move back a bit, and then swung the other at them, knocking them off the platform.
He then jumped on top of the armoured car, then jumped off it onto the ground beside Mikey. Elisa then jumped over to them, followed by Raph, who then both crouched down in front of them, all staring at more of the ninjas.
"How many of these goons we have to bap, before they get the hint?" Raph wondered in annoyance.
"Really? They just keep coming." Mikey moped, as two more ninjas landed in front of them.
"I don't think they're gonna give up so easily either." Elisa deduced.
"Time to switch to plan B." Leo decided. "Donatello? Catharina?"
Inside the armoured car, Cath and Donnie were trying to hot-wire it, so they could escape.
"We're almost there, bro." Cath assured.
Donnie then connected two of the wires, causing a spark to come from them, which started the engine.
"This bus now leaving for anywhere but here!" he announced joking, closing the door as he sat in the driver's seat - Cath in the one beside him.
The others turned as more of the black ninjas jumped into the ally.
Leo put his swords away and touched Raph's shoulder. "Come on." he said. "We're going."
Donnie began to drive the armoured car off, as Leo, Raph, Elisa and Mikey jumped into the back - as the back doors were open. Elisa then closed them up as Don rode down the ally, and would've run over some of the ninjas too, if they hadn't jumped out of the way, and ended up crashing into the walls.
"Whoa! Nice driving, Don, for a turtle with no licence." Mikey commented sarcastically, before falling out of his seat, as Don drove over a bump.
"Hey, you want pretty, or you want effective?" he asked, knocking over a trash bin.
"Both would be nice, Donnie." Cath said, wobbling in her seat.
"Yeah, I'm gonna be sick at this rate!" Elisa gulped.
"I gotta tell you..." Mikey said, as Don turned sharply to the left, bumping into the end of a building as he did. "..this has been one Mondo-bizarreio day. First, all those metal robot things underground, and what's with all those ninjas? Ninjas in New York City, besides us? It just ain't right."
"I gotta admit, it is pretty weird." Elisa admitted, sitting beside Raph on the other side.
Don took another sharp left turn, which caused Mikey to fall out of his seat, as Raph picked up one of the duffle bags.
"Talk about 'not right'." he said, opening it up. "Check this out." he turned it upside down, and the money then fell onto the floor.
Mikey picked up some of the money in each hand. "So me the money, baby!" he cheered happily. "Whoo-hoo!"
Leo then stood up. "This isn't finders keepers, Mikey!" he said sternly, snatching some of it off his little brother.
"Aw!" Mikey moaned, looking down.
Further along the street, a bunch of cars - including a police car - were all parked together in a line. In the police car, were two officers, one with light grey hair and glasses - who was drinking some coffee - and the other had brown curly hair and a small moustache, as they heard a voice through their radio.
"Attention all personal, we have a 18:57..."
The older officer then saw the armoured car coming up behind them through his door window, which then parked beside it.
"Take care of this money, will you officers?" Cath asked, before she and Leo threw the duffle bags onto the car hood.
The younger officer yelped as the Donnie drove the armoured car off again.
"Do you see that?!" he asked his partner franticly. "Some little green people in an armoured car just threw a bunch of money at us?!"
"Tss. Rookie!" the older one scoffed, not believing him.
Donnie turned the armoured car right, which led into another alleyway, with a big gate at the end which led to the sewers. He then drove right through it, knocking the gate down as he did, and drove through the tunnel, bumping into both walls as he did.
At the end of the tunnel, Master Splinter was sitting in a mediation position, when Donnie stopped the armoured car, and then Cath grabbed his arm.
"Next time, I'm driving." she told him, huffing.
"What makes you think you'll be better?" Don asked.
Cath was about to speak, but realised she couldn't answer, having not driven anything herself yet.
They all then piled out of the armoured car and ran towards their sensei, as he got up.
"Hey!" Mikey said.
"Master Splinter!" Elisa cheered happily.
"Sensei, you're alright?" Leo exclaimed.
"Alright!" Don cheered.
"You okay!" Cath cheered, tears of joy in her eyes.
"Splinter!" Raph cheered, as they surrounded their father.
"Yes. We'll I am glad to see you too, my children." he told them.
"Master Splinter, so much has happened today." Leo explained.
"Yes, yes. There will be time to tell me all about it later, Leonardo." Splinter assured. "But first, I wish to take you all home."
He walked towards the big hole in the floor, while the turtles looked confused.
"Home?" Mikey questioned.
"Sensei, we've got no home." Elisa said sadly.
Raph bent down and hit one of the robots heads. "Those robots trashed out pad." he said. "Remember, sensei?"
"Do not worry. I believe I have found a solution to our current housing problem." Splinter assured. "Follow me, my children."
He then jumped down the hole, leaving his children even more confused.
Leo flipped forward - landing on one hand upside down - then flipped over into the hole. Donnie then dived down it like he was diving into a swimming pool. Cath then jumped and flipped herself forward like a ball into the hole. Elisa then jumped into the hole with her with her arms out, and her left leg pressed bent up.
"Cowabun…" Mikey called, before Raph pushed him right into the hole. "Ah! Not funny, Raph!"
Raph chuckled as he approached the hole. "Oh, yes it is." he grinned, before jumping after him.
They all moaned as they sild down towards the hole at the bottom, where Splinter was waiting near the door at the end of the tunnel. Leo then came out of the hole onto his shell, then Donnie came out and landed on top of him. Cath then came out and bumped into the backs, followed by Elisa, then Mikey and then Raph.
"Wicked slide!" Mikey complemented, as they got up.
They all then followed Splinter down the tunnel towards the big door, when Mikey jumped over to him.
"No offence, Master Splinter, but this place doesn't seem so great." he admitted.
"Look with your heart, Michelangelo and not your eyes." Splinter told him.
Mikey rubbed the side of his head. "Um...okay." he said.
"And walk this way." Splinter told his children, as they gathered round Mikey.
Mikey then tip-toed ahead, when Donnie hit him on the head with his Bo Staff.
"Ow!" he yelped.
All six kept following their sensei and then they eyes widened as they entered a large room with columns to a higher level, and a small entrance to the river. The place was a bit of a mess, but other than that, the six of them loved it.
"Whoa!" they all awed.
"This is beyond awesome." Mikey awed excitedly.
"I could really tune this space up." Donnie said, thinking about what he could do here.
They all then ran in to have a better look around, when Mikey climbed one of the pillars to one of the rooms.
"This room here, mine!" he declared, pointing at it.
He then jumped over to Donnie by another door.
"And where you're standing, also mine." he declared, to Don's annoyance.
"You see, my children, change is good." Splinter told them all.
"We couldn't agree more, Master Splinter." Leo smiled, as they gathered together.
"Good. So let's see you kids clean up for a change." Splinter said. "This chamber is filthy."
"Agh!" Raph and Donnie groaned.
"Oh, man!" Mikey moaned. "Why can't the girls do it?"
"Who do you think we are?" Elisa asked annoyingly, gritting her teeth. "Housekeepers?"
Cath whacked him on the head with one of her Tonfas. "Just for that, you boys can start down here, while we handle the bedrooms." she grinned.
Inside a room at the top of a skyscraper, a man wearing a white and grey Japanese fighting clothes - with the same red foot symbol on his shoulders - poured some tea into a cup. He then picked the cup up and drank some of the tea, while staring at John - who was on his knees worriedly in front of him.
"Sir, I...I, uh..." he stuttered. "..my men...we...we lost the armoured car with the money, but we were attacked! By some sort of karate frog creatures or something."
The man glared at him.
"They took us by surprise." John assured. "It...it wasn't my fault."
"Enough!" the man snarled.
"I promise, sir, I won't fail you again." John promised.
"I know." the man whispered, getting up. "You won't fail me again, ever!"
John now panicked. "No, sir! Please!" he begged, bowing.
The doors behind him then shut - which had the same symbol as his clothing did - and then John screamed.
"Agghhhh!" he screamed in pain.
The man then laughed evilly, echoing throughout the entire skyscraper, which had the same symbol on it.
A/N: With the exception of John - the leader in this episode - Dragon Face, Two Ton, Spike and Sunny - both named in the Christmas episode - all the names of the other Purple Dragons from the first three seasons I've made up myself, so you can tell who's who without me having to describe them again and again.
