I will never forgive him...

Those are the words echoing through Slash's brain as he awoke to a buzzing sound. His eyes opened to reveal a purplish pink color surrounding him. He darted his eyes is a flurry, wasting no time in standing up to see where he was. There was only one window. One facing outside to a hallway that was extremely dull and technical. He'd been in a place like this before.

"Oh no..." He thought to himself before hurling his fist towards the door in an effort to break it down.

"You won't be able to get out," expressed a voice on the other side of the wall, "believe me, I've tried."

The voice sounded vaguely familiar, though he couldn't place where. This led to him suddenly realizing that everything before this point was a big blur. He had no idea how he got in this situation, or how he was going to get out.

"Leatherhead," he frantically cried, "Rockwell! Mondo-" He was cut off by frantic laughter on the other side of the wall.

"Leatherhead? That can't be his real name!"

"Well, uh, it kind of is."

"You're kidding." His voice moved from a joking tone to a more serious, curious one. "What's your name?"

"Uh... Slash."

There were a few silent moments, moments of which the man was probably using to contemplate.

"You all must be a part of some gang I've never heard about, aren't you?"

"Well..." he silently wondered if the vigilantism he and his friends always took part in could be considered a "gang" thing. The guy on the other side of the wall let out a heavy sigh.

"Of course you are."

"Are you...?"

"Yeah. You can kind of say it runs in the family."

"How did you get here?"

"No clue. Everything about the past few hours is fuzzy. You?"

"I have no idea either."

"Hm. Those alien things must have shot us with some amnesia ray or something."

"Alien things?" It seemed like his suspicions were nearly confirmed. "Did you happen to catch what they were called?"

"Kinda. It was strange. I think it was, Krang?"

Slash let out a disappointed groan and began to pace around his cell. If the stories Leatherhead had told him and his own experiences were any indication, he was helpless now. All he could do to escape was await one of two things: his death or his rescue.

"You know what they are" the person on the other side of the wall asked.

"You don't?" He was shocked at the sincerity in his voice. "They took over New York almost a year ago!"

"Oh. That's who these guys are. I know what they are. But I've never actually heard their name before."

At this moment, Slash knew he might as well try to team up with him.

"Speaking of names, what's yours?"

"I'm Hun."

The four brothers had been waiting outside the entrance all night, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Although Leonardo and Donatello never lost their concentration, their other two brothers began to get antsy. Raphael began pacing back and forth while Michelangelo decided to hang his feet off the other side of the rooftop and kick them back and forth.

"When are we gonna do something," Raph growled under his breath, "who knows what they're planning to do to em'!"

"We can't just barge in there," Leo muttered, "we need a carefully thought out plan."

"A plan? A PLAN?! Our friends are in there and we're gonna save them with a 'plan'? The longer we wait, the longer the Krang have to get stronger, to build their defenses, to teleport them all outta here, and you're saying all we need is a 'plan'!? We don't need a plan! What we need is action!"

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again," Donnie murmured, "this is the hundredth time you've made this argument. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but the sooner you accept we can't always go in head first the sooner we can get this over with."

Raph hesitated in anger, but groaned and went back to his pacing. Mikey flipped onto his back, still kicking his feet back and forth in a slow pattern. Leo shook his head, letting out a heavy sigh.

"Raph does have a point," he finally admitted, "it doesn't look like their defenses are going to get weaker any time soon. We need to do something, fast." He took out his phone and started dialing a number. "I'm going to call Karai. Try getting Casey and April too. We're going to need all the help we can get."
