A turtle in red stared down the make-shift obstacle course. One that Master Splinter made in an abounded part of the sewers. Raph stood, looking at path laying in front of him. Trash cans tied to rope hung and swerve like a metronome, in between those, holes on the ground, large enough to trap a mutant turtle such as Raphael. The stage has been set. The course's creator advised him as he and his two brothers waited at the end. "Hajime!" Now it's show time.

With his Sensei's command, Raphael made no haste and dashed through the path. Dodging and jumping, but just as he leapt passed the third hole, a trash can swung by, hitting the young ninja, knocking to the side of the wall. As soon as Raphael slid down, Splinter called out "Yame." The wise rat leapt and maneuver to where his son was, just getting their like the master he was. The red masked mutant felt himself being plucked up. Before he knew it, the master and student was on the other side.

He scowled at his brothers as Splinter set him down. The other turtles stared at him with glee. He growled and glared at them, which made them sift expressions. "Remember my Raphael?" His master spoke up. "A ninja must use his brains as well as his brawn."

"Agh. But Sensei, who has time for that? The enemy's not going to just stand around while we come up with a plan?"

"Indeed, but if one becomes too reliant on one thing, then they would be weaken in others." Raph still glared, yet said nothing. He knew not to argue with his father, however that doesn't mean he was going to like it. "Take want you learned from today, Raphael and remember to think before go charging into battle."


Back at the lair, Master Splinter stood in his room. He stared at the shrine in front of him with eyes that carried a lot of sadness. He had the shrine made to remember those who he card and lost their lives, the love of his life and another turtle who went missing during the day that he and his sons were mutated.

He sigh. "May yours and Donatello's spirits be at peace, my beloved Tang Shin?" That's the name would have given to the fourth one if they didn't get separated, Donatello. Though he was sure that the turtle died that day, seven years ago, his mind couldn't help, but think of what could have been, what turtle would have turned out if they was with them now.


Meanwhile, in the living room, as Leo watched the TV with a bright expression, Raph on the other hand was stomping in circles in a fit of rage. "Argh! I don't get it, how is thinking up a plan any different than just getting it done?"

"Come on Raph? There's tons of heroes that has thought up plans that succeed." Leo replied to the younger turtle breaking his gaze from the TV. "Look?" The turtle in blue pointed at the TV screen. "Mr. Howler dose it."

A group of colorful monkey's race through a cave, while a bolder at them from behind and having animation that looked a bit crappy. "Where should go, Mr. Howler?" asked a orange one with voice acting that kind of sucked too.

"I think we should go this way." The blue simian said, pointing towards a hole in the wall. That primate too had terrible voice acting. The team sprinted for the hole. The bolder missed them by a hair, but all the monkeys one threat was over.

"Good thinking, Mr. Howler!" The orange fur simian uttered.

"Yeah." said a pink primate. The group let out another cheer before running off.

As the show kept going and Leonardo watched on with enjoyment, Raph spoke up. "Who needs you? I 'am out of here." The red clad ninja walked away while Leo kept watching his show. Raph didn't like the show, but he didn't hate it, just in different towards it.

He gotten bored of pacing around. He strolled outside though Splinter had told him and his brothers' time and time again not to wonder too far from the lair, he didn't pay attention. He just need to get away for a while.
