Leo's P.O.V.

My name is Leonardo. And right now, my brothers and I are in a mess of trouble. A group of street punks are standing in front of us, chains, baseball bats and pipes on their hands as weapons. I scowl. I am mad, not only because they want to attack us, but also because they have a girl as a hostage. She's a brunette with a few blonde streaks falling onto her waist, and green emerald eyes. She has a long-sleeved white t-shirt, a short-sleeved pink one, a lime green plaid skirt and pink boots onto her knees. Their leader is holding her by the back of her neck, as she struggles with teary eyes. She's...so...pretty. Really pretty. Back to the problem, our backs are up against the wall of some trashed alley.

Cornered by the toughest street thieves of this side. "Look at those freaks!" one of them says. "What's with the dweeby costumes?" another one asks. "This ain't Halloween," another guy comments. Their leader, still holding the girl, makes his way to face us. He takes out a stick and twirls it on his hand. "You're goin' down, freaks! Nobody messes with the Purple Dragons!" he declares mockingly. "Let me go, you punks!" the girl yells. "Oh, I'll let you go, Pinkie. Once we're done with them...and with you," he whispers to her, and her eyes widen.

I growl. If they wanna hurt that girl, they're gonna have to pass through my dead body! "As I was saying, nobody messes with the Purple Dragons! Especially wearing stupid turtle costumes!" he exclaims. He's wrong. We're not wearing costumes. I unsheathe my blade and we all charge.


Normal P.O.V.

A few hours ago, the city is quiet. Everybody worrying about their own stuff. A few car horns are heard from the streets, and the wind blows through the buildings. Underneath all that commotion, in the sewers to be precise, a voice is heard. "Remember, to be a true ninja, you must become one with the shadows," a deep voice says, echoing through-out the sewers. "Darkness gives the ninja power while light reveals the ninja's presence. Now, can you extinguish this flame without revealing yourselves?" the voice asks again. The voice belongs to a rat. He's holding a wooden staff, with a candle on the end. He passes it to his hand and moves the staff aside. A figure moves between the shadows, trying to reach the candle, but fails, bumping against the wall.

"Too noisy, Donatello," the rat says, smirking slightly and opening his eyes. Another being tries to do the same, but the rat stands up, and the figure ends just like the one before. "Too clumsy, Michelangelo," the rat declares again. Another one grunts as he tries to reach the candle. The rat uses this as an advantage, and places his staff on the floor, making him trip over it, and slumping with the other two. The three groan in pain. "Poor choice, Raphael," the rat says in a disappointed tone. The last one is holding himself on the ceiling, eyes closed. He opens his eyes and, in one swing of his katana, slices the candle in two.

He takes the candle on his katana, revealing his form a little. He's a turtle, wearing a blue mask. He blows the candle, and everything goes dark. The rat turns the light on with his staff, and everything is clear again. "Well done, Leonardo," the rat congratulates him. The other three stand up, and stare at him. One of the turtles has darker skin than Leonardo, and a red mask. The third one has olive green skin and a purple mask. And the other one had watery green skin and an orange mask. "Teacher's pet," Raphael comments, glaring. "Ninja drop out," Leonardo spits back, throwing the blown candle at him.

The other two mock at him, and Raphael takes the candle in hand, squashing it. He growls and gets close to Leo. "My sons," the rat says, bringing a hand close to his face. He sighs. "Oh, my sons. If you want to become true ninja, you must work harder," he warns them as an advice. "Your path in life will not be an easy one," the rat tells them. Michelangelo tries to focus on his words, but can't, since there's a fly bugging him.

"The outside world will not be a friendly place for you. Your fall on different ways the surface would never understand," he explains. He is right. They are all mutants. And he knows that people could always judge what was different. But not because it was funny. But because they could be afraid. And Splinter wants to protect them. With his life, if possible. "To survive, you must master these skills I teach you," Splinter says again. Michelangelo was still focused on the fly, trying to catch it. "Ninjitsu powers of stealth and secrecy. You must become cargae, shadow warriors, and you must never be discovered by the outside world", Splinter warns sternly.

He's about to nag Michelangelo for not paying attention to what he's saying, until there's a rumble on the floor. They all stand up. "What is that noise?" the rat asks, looking around the lair. "Whoa, earthquake!" Mikey exclaims. "In New York? Possible, but not likely," Don comments, placing a hand on his chin thoughtfully. Everybody but him move aside the walls, which are collapsing, and they see the walls cracking. Don still doesn't notice it, until a beam falls close to him. He steps aside, and the wall cracks more, until it breaks. Some dust makes the situation look blurry. The dust dissipates, revealing a few small robots with big sharp teeth.

The robots squeal a little, getting close to them. "What are those things?" Leo asks, katana in hand. "New York City cockroaches?" Mikey asks, scratching his head. "Whatever they are, they picked the wrong party to crash!" Raph declares, charging to them, sais in hand. Don tries to smash one with his staff, but a robot bites it, not allowing him to move it. He thinks quickly, and raises his staff to the air, and them throws it to the ground. Mikey destroys them with his nunchucks, with no worry. He grabs one, and throws it to Leo. "Hey, Leo! Think fast!" he calls, and Leo slices it half with his sword. He slices another two robots, and they both blow up.

Splinter defends himself, hitting every robot that gets close to him, with his walking staff. Leo notices it, and runs to where his master is. "We have to help Master Splinter! Come on!" Leo warns his brothers. They all run to where their father is, but they don't notice that the robots start chewing on the support columns. Splinter crashes a few more robots, but the rest keep on chewing on the walls. Raph charges to one robot left in the middle of the commotion, but Leo sees the ceiling about to fall.

He jumps to Raph and brings him close to him. "Look out!" Leo warns him, and they jump away from the debris. The lair collapses, dividing the turtles from Splinter. They run for his help. "No!" Leo exclaims. "Master Splinter!" Raph calls out. "Master Splinter?" Leo asks, getting close to the pieces of the cracked ceiling. "Master Splinter! No!" Leo exclaims, looking at the pile of rubble. A few robots squeal rustily, and Raph steps hardly on it. He twirls his sais and puts them on his belt again. "What the shell are those things?" Mikey asks, looking down to the left over robots. "Whatever they were, they're junk now," Raph answers, kicking the robot away.

Leo and Don are still trying to figure out a way to get to the other side of the lair. "Guys. Splinter. We've got to find Splinter," Leo calls out. "Master Splinter, can you hear me?!" he calls out again. Don steps back from the pile of rubble and, without Leo noticing it, tries to call his father. "Donatello, any way to...? What are you doing?" he asks, looking at Don. "Shell-cell," he responds. "I'm calling Master Splinter...I hope," he finishes. The others are worried. If Splinter doesn't answer, then it means...they don't really want to think about it.

From the other side of the pile, Splinter was laying down, with his phone ringing. He gets up and rubs his head with pain. Then he sits down and takes the phone out of his clothes. "Hmmm...which button do you press to answer this thing?" he asks, speaker on. The turtles smile, noticing that their father was okay. Leo takes the phone from Don's grasp, and talks to Splinter. "Master Splinter, are you alright?" he asks. "Hello? Hello?" Splinter keeps on trying to use the artifact. "Master Splinter..." Leo tries to talk to him again, but Splinter doesn't seem to listen. "Stupid device," Splinter complains. "Master Splinter, you don't have to press any buttons. You've already answered it," Leo explains to him awkwardly.

Splinter blushed in embarrassment from the other side of the line. "Oh. Leonardo, whatever those mechanical menaces are, they have managed to eat through the support structure of our home," the rat says. "We must leave right away. Meet me at the old drainage junction in South Point," he explains while Mikey was trying to get a better listening to the situation. But Raph pushes him away, making him land on the leftover pieces of the lair. Don takes out a map from his bag, and blows out some smoke from it. "If we take the south conduit, it'll intersect with the old drainage tunnel," Don explains them. "We'll meet you there, sensei," Leo tells him, before hanging up. "What did he say? What did he say?" Mikey asks excitedly. "Did he mention me?" he asks, before Raph pushed him away again.

Mikey stares at all the debris in fake sadness. "Good bye, broken pipe. Good bye, grungy payphone. Good bye, dented manhole cover. Good bye, home sweet home," he bades farewell to his home. "Hello, cruel world. Come on!" Raph mocks at him, and pulls the tails of his bandana. They all walk out of the lair, looking at all the destruction the robots created. It was weird. They have never seen such robot creatures. Except for the cartoons Mikey watches. And it was also senseless that the robots came barging through and destroyed their home with no reason. Well, there's nothing else to do for them. "Looks like those things have been through here," Leo comments. "These walls are seriously compromised," Donnie replies. "It's lucky this roof hasn't caved in," he says, but then, he's speechless. Looking shockingly in front of them, the roof has been destroyed as well. "You were sayin'?" Raph asks mockingly. "Can't go forward; can't go back," Leo says. "Looks like we go up," Raph declares, jerking up top with his thumb.

He steps to the manhole stairs and tries to get up, but Leo places a hand on his shoulder. "Heading to surface is a bad idea," Leo reminds him. "We've got no other way to go, Leo," Donnie remarks. Leo grunts. "Alright. But we're only going up to go down the next manhole. Got it?" he explains sternly. "No fooling around. Remember what sensei said. It's dangerous for us to be seen, let alone captured," he orders, clenching his fist. "We need to stay out of sight," he repeats. "We got it the first thousand times, Leo," Raph comments in boredom. "Just follow my lead," and he climbs up to the surface. He lifts the manhole cover, and pops his head out.

He grunts as he jumps off. Leo pops his head out as well. "Hurry up, Leo. Move it. I don't wanna be staring at your butt any longer than I have to." Mikey comments, waving his hand in front of his nose, as if Leo had just farted. Leo shushes them and he and Raph hide, before a man on a bike passes by. Raph walks close to a bar and jumps to the canopy before a man and a woman get out of there. He jumps again, clutching to a post. He looks around, trying to find a manhole cover, until he spots it. "Ahh, manhole cover, twelve o'clock," he mutters under his breath and jumps to the other street.

He hides behind a car, before another one passes close by. Soon, an armored truck drives into a close by alley, and parks. "Now what?" Raph asks angrily. He gets close enough to stay with the wall behind his shell, and glances at the situation. Some men get off the truck, as they laugh and cheer for each other. After that, they enter a store. Raph doesn't take too much importance to it, and tries to get to the manhole cover, only to find it under the truck's wheel. "Great. Just great. The old turtle luck and true to form," he comments and kicks the truck. "Way to be stealthy, Raph," Leo recalls him, standing behind some boxes. "Yeah, I don't think they heard you over in Joisey," Mikey comments. "Gimme a hand", Raph whispers.

Mikey is about to make a funny comment, until Raph looks at him threatingly. "Don't even think about it, Mikey," Raph warns him. Leo jerks behind him with his thumb and shakes his head in denial. "Ah, forget you guys, I'll push it myself," Raph declares, and tries to push the truck away. Some voices are heard from inside the store, and Raph freezes. If the humans see him, he'll be in big trouble. "Hide, Raph! Come on, hurry!" Leo whispers and signals him to hide. With no other choice, Raph hides inside the truck. The others slap their foreheads. "Poor choice, Raphael," Mikey mutters under his breath, imitating Splinter like a while ago during training. The thieves put their money bags inside.

"Did you see the way that guy squirmed when we took his cash?" a man asked while laughing. "Sheep, man. Sheep to be pleased by us wolves," the leader exclaimed in a mocking way. They finish putting the bags inside, and shut the door, not noticing Raph on the ceiling. The leader enters a locking code on the door, and it secures itself. They all get inside the truck and drive away from the alley. The turtles get out of their hiding spot and look at where the truck left. "Imagine their surprise when they open the back of that truck," Mikey murmurs. From another street, a young brunette is walking near them. She has her hair falling onto her waist with a few blonde streaks, her eyes are emerald green, has a white long-sleeved t-shirt, a short-sleeved pink one, a green plaid skirt, and pink boots onto her knees.

She's listening to music on a player, until she spots the turtles on the block in front. She gasps softly, pulls her earmuffs off her ears and hides behind a car, trying to listen to their conversation. "This is exactly what Master Splinter was talking about," the one with the blue mask says. "We've got to get him out of there!" he orders. The three of them start running and jump to the roofs. "Last on to the roof latched from a rotten egg!" the one with the purple mask exclaims. She doesn't waste a minute until she starts following them from the streets. She doesn't quite understand what they are talking about, but she's still curious. She had never seen beings like that, and wants to know more. Where the turtles were running, they stop on a roof and look down, looking for the truck.

"We can cut them off on Third and First," Leo declares. "If we run like crazy," Don says. "Is there any other way to run?" Mikey asks in a 'duh' tone, but still smiling. They jump from every rooftop, trying to reach the truck. Mikey makes his way before his brothers and mocks. "You guys are too slow!" he calls out, right before they do a backflip above him. Form the ground, the girl is still following behind them. "Hey!" Mikey yells, and tries to follow their step. The girl is still trying to get to them, but she starts panting in exhaustion. She looks up, sweat falling down her forehead. She pants, wipes the sweat off her forehead and starts running again. Mikey grabs his nunchuck to slide through a telephone cable, but a towel hanging from another one ends up on his face.

He falls down and sniffs the towel. "Mmm, spring time fresh," he mutters to himself and runs up to his brothers.


Under the sewers, Splinter keeps walking to the old Drainage Junction, the spot where he had agreed with his sons to meet up. Though he was still worried. His sons were really prone to disobey him sometimes, and no one could blame him. They were teenagers. Raising boys like those was indeed difficult. But he still loves the equally. He finally enters the place he was looking for and sighs. "The old Drainage Junction. "Now...where are my sons?" he says to himself. He feels a rumble underneath him and scowls. Something isn't right. He had felt that kind of rumble before. The floor starts cracking, and he steps back. He has a bad feeling about this.

The floor cracks open, revealing two of those metallic beings that destroyed his home earlier. They shriek and Splinter looks in fear.


From inside the van, Raph looks out from the window, until the truck parks on another alley. The doors from the driving seats open, and Raph hides. Not that he's ascared, he just can't allow himself to be seen. And Leo would scold him in a bossy way he wasn't going to be up to hear. The men get out of the truck and the leader turns to one of his men who's holding a baseball bat with a spike. "Hey, Two-Tone, watch the truck! We wouldn't want someone to steal our stolen money," the leader states with irony as he stifles a laugh. The girl slowly walks close to some boxes near the alley and pants silently. She had run about seven blocks, she needs a small break.

She looks up to the rooftops, only to see the three shadows she was following not too long ago. "There you guys are," she mutters under her breath. She frowns, trying to get a better view, until she sees clearly Leo. Once she does, she blushes slightly. Maybe she thinks he's nice? She shakes her head in denial. "C'mon, Amy, that's ridiculous," she murmurs to herself. The fat dude hears a can roll through there and looks around, seeing nothing. He clenches his grip to his bat and feels someone poke his shoulder. From her hiding spot, 'Amy' saw Mikey whispering something to that guy. "Hey, here ain't no parking zone. Here's your ticket, and here's your fine!" he exclaims and kicks him on the stomach, knocking him out and making Amy giggle.

Leo and Don stand next to the truck. "Nice work, Mikey," Leo congratulates him. "It's a ninja thing," Mikey answers, flattering himself. "Now, let's get Raph out of there," Leo orders while Raph punches the glass and yells from inside the van. They all look at the lock and cringe. "Man, whatever happened to good old-fashioned padlocks?" Mikey asks. "Ha, where's the fun in that?" Don asks with a smirk and twirling a few screwdrivers on his hands. "This one's all mine," he declares and places his goggles on his face, kneeling down to the lock. Raph keeps on hitting the glass, but it doesn't break. "What's that, Raphael?" Mikey asks mockingly while waving his hands next to him. "You're gonna have to speak up, dude. I can't hear you!" he declares in a funny tone. Raph growls and punches the glass hardly. "Okay, I've heard that," Mikey says. "I'm trying to work here," Don calls out, and Amy, still hiding, snickers.


Five robots are surrounding Splinter. He looks around, thinking of a way to solve his problem. One of the robots gets close to him and bites his clothing. He scowls harder and kicks it away with his tail. The robot lands on the wall, shakes a little and shrieks. Splinter holds his staff up in a defending way and the robots jump up to him.


Don twitches a few wires, making them spark a little. The padlock beeps and opens slightly. "Hey, Raph! Welcome back, bro," Mikey greets him, before Raph jumps up to him and starts punching him. Still hiding, Amy winces. "Man, I feel pity for that guy," she whispers, and she feels someone's breath next to her neck. "I would feel pity for you, Pinkie," a manly voice says, and holds her by the back of her neck. She tries to scream, but he covers his mouth. The man gets close to her, revealing himself as the leader of those men who stole a shop. He smirks at her, and starts pulling her.

"What a hot head," Leo comments, arms crossed. Mikey 'ows' as Raph keeps hitting him, but Leo and Don see something out of the corner of their eyes. "Um, Raph?" Leo calls out, unsheathing his sword. "We don't have time for this!" Don tells him. "And why not?" Raph asks smirking, still holding Mikey against the wall. "Because we're not alone", Mikey says, and the gang starts getting close to them. "Looks at the freaks!" one of them comments. "What's with the dweeby costumes?" another one asks. "This ain't Halloween," another one says. "You're goin' down, freaks!" the leader yells at them, still holding Amy and twirling a wooden stick. "Nobody messes with the Purple Dragons!" he declares. "Let me go, you punks!" Amy yells, struggling.

"Oh, I'll let you go, Pinkie. Once we're done with them...and with you," he whispers to her ear, and her eyes widen. She knows what these kinda guys can do to helpless girls like her, and she was no difference to those girls. Leo growls. "As I was saying, nobody messes with the Purple Dragons! Especially wearing stupid turtle costumes!" the leader exclaims.

Don twirls his bo staff on his hand, doing a few tricks and sweeping the floor. Mikey takes out his chucks and swings them a few times, for then placing them under his arms. Raph takes out his sais and twirls them on his hands too, and he grunts and air kicks. Leo takes out his swords, swinging them a few times, like slicing the air. They all charge and, one by one, the street punks falls to the floor, beaten into pulps, until their leader is the only one remaining. Amy thinks fast, and stomps on his foot, leaving him unguarded as he hops up and down in pain. Leo takes the chance to hit him in the gut with the sword handle.

The leader looks up, only to see Leo pointing his katana to him. "Don't you ever dare hurt this girl again, or else..." Leo warns him, and the Purple Dragons' leader gets up clumsily, trying to get away from there. "Let's get outta here!" he orders. "I'm with you!" one of them says, as he runs behind him. They all run away, and Raph and Mikey high-three. "Gimme some green!" Mikey exclaims. Leo steps close to Amy and offers her a hand. "Hey," he says, looking down at her. She doubts for a second but slowly raises her hand up to him, until she pulls herself from the floor. When she finally gets up, she sees that she's standing too close to Leo's face. She backs away slowly, blushing slightly and looking away. Leo looks away ashamed and blushes as well and clears his throat. "So...what were you doing here? Why were you following us?" he asks. She gulps awkwardly and rubs her neck.

"Uh...how did you notice that I was following you?" she asks him. "Just...answer the question," he says sternly. She huffs and rolls her eyes at his tone. She had expected him to be more gentle, but not so hostile. "Well...I was walking down the streets when I saw you and your friends following that truck," she says, pointing to the truck. "And I felt curious. So I followed you. But then, those punks saw me hiding from you, and...you know the rest," she explains. He smiles slightly at her. "Well, I'm glad you're okay," he states, blushing slightly. He was about to say something else, until he hears a few snickering. He grunts in shame and the snickers louder up. He turns to his brothers, who are snickering at the scene.

Amy giggles at him while covering her mouth, until Mikey speaks up. "Hey, aren't you ascared?" he asks. Amy stops laughing and looks away while rubbing her arm. "Well...I...I don't know. Guess I don't find you scary." They all look at each other, amazed by her answer. At least they weren't scary for one girl. "Well, that fight was easier than expected," Don comments. "I hope there're more of those guys. I'm just gettin' warmed up," Raph states crossing his arms. Amy crosses her arms with a smirk and rolls her eyes. Mikey looks at the roofs in fear. "Uh...Well, looks like you got your wish, Raphie Boy," Mikey replies, and Amy snickers at the nickname. They all look up, seeing a bunch of men in black ninja suits.

"Are those guys...ninjas?" Leo asks in awe. The ninjas jump down to them, and surround them. "Well...they're certainly ninja-esque," Mikey mutters. "Be ready for anything," Leo orders. "I am so gonna enjoy this," Raph murmurs. They all jump up to them and start attacking. "Take cover!" Leo yells at Amy and she nods. She scrambles behind the truck and hides there, panting. Don hits a few ninjas with his staff, and they backflip, standing their ground. He sweeps them away with his staff and they back away as well. But they get up again and Don grunts. Three ninjas surround Raph and start trying to punch him, but he evades all their attacks. "Nice Dragon Kick. Sweet Double Phoenix Punch. Hey, you know this one?" he congratulates sarcastically and makes a triple kick.

Leo battles with one of the ninjas, gripping his sword tightly. He kicks him away and elbows him on the back. After that, he makes a back flip to the roof behind him. Another ninja runs against the wall, trying to get as close as possible to Leo. They clank swords with each other and another ninja appears behind Leo's shell. He doesn't notice, until Amy warns him. "Look out!" she exclaims. Leo turns around and sees the other ninja. He attacks them both at the same time, as he tries to keep a steady battle. Mikey hits a ninja with his nunchucks as another one appears behind. Don fights another two and blocks two up-coming shurikens with his staff. One of them kicks him on his plastron and Don lands on the truck's door.

Mikey suddenly crashes next to him while Don rubs his plastron in pain. "Don, are we beating them, or they're beating us?" Mikey asks innocently and Donnie gasps, not answering Mikey's question. Don opens the door and enters the truck, pulling Mikey inside and shutting it. "Ask me again when we're winning, Mikey," Don comments, looking down at the door covered in shurikens. "Yeah, that's what I thought," Mikey answers reluctantly.


Splinter destroys another two robots in one swing of his staff and sighs. He was really tired after that battle. Another one jumps close to him on his left and he destroys it. He feels another rumble on the ground and looks down, noticing that the floor is cracking again. He doesn't even have time to react, until the floors crack open and he falls down a hole. He gets up from his fall and dusts himself. He looks around, not recognizing the area, and starts walking, until a big light leaves him blind for a second and gasps.


Leo's battling about five ninjas. He struggles, trying to get free. He punches one of the ninjas, and then another one. He finally frees himself from the ninjas and jumps off the roof. He and Raph jump close to the truck, as Amy scrambles near them. "How many of these goons do we have to fight back before they get to hint?" Raph asks reluctantly as more ninjas appear. "You really want me to answer that question?" Amy asks in fear. "Sorry, girl, but I wasn't talkin' to you," Raph answers and Amy scowls. Leo growls to his inside and scowls as well. "Really, they just keep coming!" Mikey comments in exasperation. "Time to switch to plan B. Donatello?" Leo asks as Don switches a few wires.

"Almost there, Leo," Don answers, making the truck start moving. Don smiles as he sits on the driver's seat. "This bus is leaving to anywhere but here!" Don comments and they all get inside. Amy is about to go, until Leo pulls her from her arm and brings her inside the van. Don drives off and they escape the alley. Don tries to drive nice, but can't help to bump into everything that appears on his way. "Whoa, nice driving, Don! For a turtle with no license," Mikey calls out from the back. "Hey, you want pretty or you want effective?" Don answers with another question. "I call effective," Amy answers. "Hey, who brought the brunette to the party?" Raph asks reluctantly. Amy grunts in response and rolls her eyes. "The brunette has a name, thank you very much," Amy retorts.

"Stop it, Raph! That is no way to talk to a girl!" Leo exclaims, placing a hand on Raph's plastron. Amy grins a little. "Sorry about my brother's behavior, miss. What's your name?" Leo asks politely. She chuckles a little and clears her throat. "My name is Amelia. But you can call me 'Amy,'" she answers. Leo gestures to himself. "I'm Leo, and this is Raph, Donnie, and Mikey," he tells her, gesturing to his brothers. Raph grunts, Donnie waves to her from behind, and Mikey smiles. "Hey, going off topic now, I gotta tell ya, this was one beyond mondo bizarro day. First, all those metal robots things underground. And, what's with all those ninjas? I mean, ninjas in New York City? Besides us? It's just not right," Mikey comments while crossing his arms. Don turns around and he and Amy fall to the floor. But she falls too close to Leo, and he feels awkward. She backs away a little while blushing and twirls her hair uncomfortably. Raph grabs a bag and opens the zipper. "Talk about not right...check this out," Raph says.

He drops the content out, revealing many bills attached to each other. Mikey looks in awe and Amy gasps. "Show me the money, baby! Woo-hoo," Mikey exclaims, grabbing two wads of cash and showing them around. Leo takes a wad off his hand and scolds him. "This isn't 'finders, keepers', Mikey," Leo says sternly and Mikey pouts. A police patrol car is parked on a street and the truck gets close to it, stopping next to them. Leo opens the window and he drops the bags on the kingpin. "Take care of this money, will you guys?" Leo asks and they drive off. "Did you see that? Some little green men in armored costumes and a brunette in pink threw a bunch of money at us!" one of the officers exclaims. "Tsk, rookies," the other officer mutters.

"So, Amy, where do I leave you?" Don suddenly asks. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a little!" Raph exclaims. "We can't let her go just like that! She'd tell somebody about us!" he retorts. Amy, on the other hand, feels offended. "Look, I know you guys just met me, but...can't you feel sure if I simply tell you that I won't tell anyone?" she asks in a praying tone. Leo thinks about it for a moment and snaps his fingers in realization. "Amy?" he asks, and she turns to him. "Look at me deep into my eyes, and promise me won't tell anyone about us," he orders. Insecure, Amy steps close to him and he looks at her. "I promise," she whispers. After a few seconds, he smiles. "She's telling the truth," he states and Amy breathes, relieved.

The others don't question it, since Leo would obviously accept her trust in anyway, and Don asks again for her direction. "Turn left the next block, and there's a red building in the middle," she answers. Don obeys her directions and parks in front on a nice, red and a little old building. "Well, thanks for saving me, guys. I hope we see each other again soon," she says, standing on her door. "No problem, Ames," Leo says, waving. He automatically notices that he had said something without thinking through and she chuckles. "I-I mean...I didn't mean to, Amy. I just..." she giggles in response with an unnoticeable blush on her face. "It's okay, Leo. I don't mind," she says and enters her house.

Leo sighs as Don drives off again. "Hey, you got eyes for that girl, don't ya?" Raph asks with a smirk. Leo couldn't help but blush deeply. "Yeah, not even two hours on the surface and we've already got two love birds," Don states. "I wonder how your kids will look like in the future," Mikey comments with a laugh. "Guys!" Leo exclaims blushing, but they still laugh. They arrive the old Drainage Junction, chasing on a few bars, and arrive at where Splinter is, sitting in a meditating position. They park the vehicle and get out to meet their sensei. They run to hug him and he chuckles. "Well, I am glad to see you too, my sons," Splinter says with a slight smile. "Master Splinter, so much has happened today," Leo states. "Yes, yes. There will be time to tell me all about it later, Leonardo. But first, I wish to take you all home," Splinters declares, walking away from them, right to where the hole on the floor where he had fallen in.

They stare at him in disbelief. They had lost their home not too long ago, and he was talking about going back where all the disaster was caused? "Home?" Mikey stammers. "We got no home. Those robots trashed our lair. Remember, sensei?" Raph asks, kneeling down to one of the robots' head. "Do not worry. I think I have found a solution to our 'current housing problem,'" Splinter responds. "Follow me, my sons," he declares, jumping inside the hole. Leo back flips and jumps inside, Don following close behind. Mikey is about to jump. "Cowabu- gah! Not funny, Raph!" he yells, since Raph had pushed him inside before he could say 'Cowabunga'. "Oh, yes it is," Raph mutters under his breath with a smirk and jumps in too.

Leo rolls over on the floor and falls, Don ends up over him, Mikey trips on them too and Raph crashes there as well. "Wicked slide!" Mikey comments as he gets up. He walks to where Splinter is. "No offense, Master Splinter, but this place doesn't seem so great," Mikey tells him. "Look with your heart, Michelangelo, and not your eyes," Splinter answers, leaving Mikey still confused. "Um, okay," he replies confused. "And walk this way," Splinter continues. Mikey was about to do a stealthy walk, until Don hits him with his staff on the head. They find and abandoned strange-looking place. It had giant columns, a few old debris on the floor and snapped crystals on the columns. The turtles look in awe as they walk inside. "This is beyond awesome!" Mikey exclaims in awe.

"I could really build this place up," Don comments, looking around. Mikey climbs up through a column and stands in front of a bedroom. "This room here, mine!" he declares. He jumps back to the floor and points to Don. "And where you're standing, also mine!" he states. "You see, my sons? Change is good," Splinter tells them. "We couldn't agree more, Master Splinter," Leo says, smiling at him. "Good. Now, let's see if you boys clean up for a change. This chamber is filthy," Splinter demands and they all groan on boredom.


A man pours some tea on his cup and sips on it. He has a big scowl on his face and doesn't look happy at all. He listens to one of his men's explanation of why they couldn't get some money he had ordered them to steal. "S-sir? I-I, uh...my men...we, uh...we lost the armored car with the money," the leader of the Purple Dragons stammers. "B-but we were attacked! B-by some sort of karate frog creatures or something! They took us by surprise. I-it wasn't my fault-" "Enough," the man tells him, and he shuts up. "I promise, sir. I won't fail you again," he assures him. "I know. You won't fail me again...ever," the man answers as he gets up from his seat. The leader of the Purple Dragons prays for his life, but with no result. The man takes his life, as he laughs evilly on the top of his tower, with a strange symbol. The symbol of the Foot Ninja Clan.


Angel: Dun dun dunnnn! XD Just a few things to note. This story isn't being broken up by seasons. KS and I agreed that it would be too much. Odd episodes are written by Hermana Kunoichi and even ones are written by moi. If anyone asks questions about anything regarding this story, I'll answer them as best as I can. Next update is tomorrow, since I finished before KS did, had to wait for her. See you next time!
