TMNT: Town of Redemption
Mikey awoke to the sound of his older brother Leonardo yelling for everyone to get up and get all of their things together that they were taking on the trip. April had talked to them the other day and convinced them to go with her on a trip that she had been planning for the last few weeks. It took some convincing but she finally got Splinter to agree to it and so now they all going with April to see the Grand Canyon. It had been weeks since Shredder and the foot had even been seen and it felt good to take it easy for a few days and not worry about anything. Mikey stretched his arms above his head and then got up and walked out of his room and saw Raph walk past him with a suitcase.
"hey, what are you bringing?" Mikey asked his brother.
"Just a few goodies and some bike magazines" Raph told him and then walked downstairs and into the kitchen, followed by Mikey. Leo and Don were already eating their breakfast when Raph and Mikey sat down at the table and fixed themselves each a bowl of cereal.
"April just called and said that she would be here in about thirty minutes" Leo told them as he took another bite of his cereal.
"Explain to me again how we are going to sneak on to the plane" Raph asked.
"we are going to use the chopper that we took from Agent Bishop awhile back. I got it back up and running good so everything will be ok" Don informed him.
"O ok, I was wandering how we were going to get there" Raph said and took another bite of his cereal. The guys looked up and seen Splinter walk in with a suitcase and sit it down and then walk over and pour himself a cup of tea and sit at the table with the rest of the family.
"Ahh my sons, I am glad to see that you are all packed and ready to go. Wait, where is your luggage Michelangelo?" Splinter asked his youngest son.
"Don't worry sensei, I will be ready in no time. I am only taking some snacks and some comics and a pillow and blanket, and a few handheld games in case I get bored" he replied.
Thirty minutes later April walked in and was met my Leonardo as she walked into the livingroom. April hugged her friend and then the two of them walked into the kitchen and Leonardo made her a cup of tea the two of them sat down at the table and waited for the others to get there so that they could leave.
"I am glad that you all decided to come with me" April said as she took a sip of tea.
"Thanks April. I am glad that we decided to go. I could really use the break. Ever since our last fight with the shredder I have been sensing that he is up to something. I don't know what but I know that it isn't good" Leonardo told her.
"Hey don't worry about for now, this is your vacation too and I don't want you to worry about it or be in your usual leader mode the whole time, just take this time to relax" April said as she laid a hand on his shoulder. After a few more minutes the rest of turtles and Splinter walked in each of them gave April a hug and thanked her for wanting them to come along with her.
"Ok, is everyone set to go?" Don asked everyone. Each of them nodded and then they all walked to the hanger where they kept the chopper and then Don turned on the light and they walked over to the chopper and loaded all of their luggage in and then climbed inside. Don and Leo took the controls while everyone else sat in the back. Don and Leo went through all of the controls and made sure that everything was ok and then started the engine and soon they were all in the air and on their way to the Grand Canyon.
After a few hours of flying Mikey, bored of flying, asked how far they were from the Grand Canyon.
"We are not too far. Judging by the map and the area, we are in Texas" Don told him.
"I agree with Mikey, it is getting a little cramped in here and I would like to stretch my legs" Raph told them.
"Don't worry guys, we will be there soon, now just sit back and chill" Leonardo told them. Raph snorted and sat back while Mikey whined but sat back in his seat anyway. Unknown to the turtles, a foot chopper was following them. It had been following them for some time, ever since they left New York city. Shredder wanted them followed and when he heard that they were over a deserted part of Texas he radioed his foot soldiers in the helicopter and told them to shoot them down.
Don looked down at his screen and saw that they were being followed. "Guys, I hate to say this but it looks like we have company. It looks like the foot have been following us" he said.
"Well what are you waiting for, shake them and get us out of here" Raph yelled. The foot soldiers behind them fired a missile towards the turtles helicopter and before Donny could get them out of the way, the missile struck the tail of the helicopter and destroyed the back rutter. The soldiers watched as the turtles chopper raced towards the ground. Donny fought to keep the helicopter upright and in a last ditch effort pulled back on the joystick and raised the nose of the helicopter just as it hit the ground. The foot soldiers radioed back to shredder with news of the turtles crash.
"excellent, me and more men will be there soon to go through the wreckage to make sure they are dead. Transit the coordinates of your location and wait for me" Shredder told his men. He did not want them to go down there alone, just in case they were still alive, he wanted to be the one to finish them off.
As turtles laid in the wreckage of their helicopter, Mikey was barely conscious as he looked up to see four men walk over to him. He could not make out the words of what they were saying but soon he found himself and his brothers, along with Splinter and April, being carried away. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was what looked to be a sheriff badge and a cowboy hat on each man and horses. That is all he saw when the darkness over took him.
