This is my first TMNT fanfic and I hope you enjoy it. I will try not to make the characters get too OOC. Also this takes place during the 2k12 series after the Slash and Destroy episode. Well, on with the story...

Disclaimer: I do not own anything TMNT


In New York City the sky was black, with the exception of the glowing full moon. Streets were silent until an occasional car was heard zipping by. Some of the lights from the apartments were on while others were off "calling it a night." It was like every other night in the city but (like always) there were certain things that went unnoticed by citizens. Beyond the quietness, upon the rooftops were four distinct figures moving about. The figure in the lead came to a stop and motioned for the others to do the same. Once they appeared in the moonlight their figures revealed to be...turtles? Well, not just your average, everyday turtles. It was more like teenage mutant ninja turtles!

The turtle in the lead of the group wore a blue mask around his face. He was the leader of the group and was known as Leonardo. Behind him was a turtle slightly shorter and more muscular than him. His mask was red and tattered. He went by Raphael or Raph. He was the most aggressive out of the four which earned him the nickname "Hot head." The last two turtles had on a purple mask and an orange mask. The one with the purple mask was the tallest and slimmest of the bunch. Out of the rest of the turtles, he proved to be the most intelligent. His name was Donatello, often called Donnie for short. The bearer of the orange mask was the shortest. He was the youngest of the four and the most energetic. He was known as Michelangelo or Mikey. Every night they came out to stop any villainess crimes through their skills in ninjitsu.

"You know, it actually feels nice to get out of the lair for once." Donatello said.

"Yeah! I can't wait to finally bash some bots!" Raphael declared while punching a fist into his opposite hand.

Leonardo, who was still studying the streets of NYC, shook his head. "Remember Raph this is a RE-CON mission. We are just here to observe and gather information about our enemies. If any bashing is needed then we'll do so."

It was obvious that Leo's correction didn't seem to sit too well in Raph. Those two have always had opposite outlooks on things which usually resulted in arguments. He decided not to push the matter(this time). Instead he grumbled, "Fine wake me when we get to the bashing part."

They all peered down from the rooftop to find three Kraang bots walking in an alley. One of them carried a canister filled with a mysterious purple liquid. The sight of the strange liquid perplexed them. Including Donnie, who was the most intelligent out of the four. "Alright guys let's try to keep a low profile," Leo whispered. Unfortunately Mikey didn't here him due the headphones plugged in his ears. He was too busy bobbing his head to the beat of the song until his stomach started growling. This caused him to clutch his plastron in response. He tried remembering the last time he ate but the sound of his stomach's growling interrupted his thoughts. Suddenly, an idea popped in his head. He turned to his brothers and asked, "Hey guys what kind of pizza should we get after this?Pepperoni, mushroom, chee-"

"Seriously Mikey"

"You're right, I should've gone with jellybean, anchovy and jalapeño pizza." Mikey received a smack in the back of his head by Raph.

"Ow!" He yelped. "Will you guys make up your minds already?!"

"Mikey the whole point of keeping a low profile is so that we won't get caught."

Leo's words slipped in and out of Mikey's ears. The youngest turtle stared at him blankly before asking, "So is that a yes or no for jellybean anchovies and jalapeño?" The others groaned in unison. Leo realized that he wouldn't get his point through regardless of how many times he explained it, so he continued to focus his attention on the Kraang droids. The few seconds that passed by felt like an eternity to Raph. If they continued to stand there they would never get to fight. He quietly snuck around his brothers while they weren't paying attention and headed down the fire escape.

"Now we don't know what might be inside of the canister, but maybe if we get a closer loo-where's Raph?" Leo whipped around when he noticed only two turtles surrounding him. Donnie and Mikey immediately pointed down to answer his question. He looked where they pointed and saw a figure sneaking up on the Kraang bots, and sure enough, it was Raph. Leo groaned while jumping off of the rooftop.

Mikey and Donnie exchanged glances. "So much for a re-con mission," Mikey shrugged. The two jumped down to follow their older brothers.


"Kraang is the substance requested from the one called Shredder that which is known as contained?" One of the Kraang bots asked.

"Yes, Kra-"the robot was immediately cut off by a solid kick in the face.

"It is one of the ones that are known as the turtles!" The third robot exclaimed.

"Ha! Only three little Kraang bots, that's it?! And here I thought I was going to have a challenge." Raph scoffed. Suddenly the other two Kraang bots pulled out their Blasters and started firing at him. "Now that's more like it," he said while dodging the blasts each hit with ease. The other three turtles joined in the fight. They all constantly hopped around like grasshoppers avoiding each shot directed towards them. Unbeknownst to them, the Kraang bot that Raph had previously taken out was now holding a small box with a button on top of it.

"Perhaps Kraang must alert that which is known as other reinforcements," it stated before pushing the red button.

Raph pulled out his Sai from one of the other Kraang bots heads. Sparks started to fly out causing the robot to fall to the ground. The little brain glob came out of its chest then ran off squealing. Mikey managed to knock the canister out of the robot's hand with his nunchaku. Leo followed by kicking the robot to the ground. Donnie noticed the canister get knocked into the air and ran to catch it as if his life depended in it. He sighed in relief once the canister was safe in his arms. Leo sheathed his katanas back into his holders. He looked in Raph's direction and saw a smug grin spread across his face.

"What was that all about?" Leo asked slightly irritated.

"What?"

"I had simple instructions for you to follow, but thanks to your stubbornness you went to fight anyway."

"We got the canister didn't we?"

"That doesn't change that you went off to fight. If you would have just followed my orders..."

"Give better orders and maybe I'll start following them."

"Do we have to go through this leadership thing again?"

Before Raph could answer they heard something drop to the ground. They all turned around and saw several dark figures emerge from the shadows. When the figures revealed themselves the turtles knew exactly who they were up against. "The foot clan," Leo said, pointing out the obvious.

"This just made my night." Raph smirked while twirling his sais.
