As they entered, the door closed. The room was pitch black for a moment, then lights kicked on. In front of them was something they didn't realize could exist. The room was loaded with tubes filled with a glowing blue liquid. Inside each one was a different human. Some appeared to be in the middle of a transmutation.

"Wow," Don stated, completely amazed. "This is high technology that even the government doesn't have."

Leo frowned. "Then, what's it doing here?"

"Who knows." Raph replied looking at one of the girls that appeared to be turning into a tiger. "What ever these are for, it ain't gonna be pretty."

Mikey frowned. "Hmmm." he said, studying the tigerish girl. "I dunno, Raph. She's seems like a beauty and your type." Mikey's reward for his remark was a hard punch on top of the head from Raph. "OW!"

Leo ignored his brothers. Something was off about the room. As he walked down further into the room, he caught sight of girl. Well, what was left of her anyway. Scales covered her flesh, two large wings were folded on her back, and a long winding tail seemed to wrap around herself. She was a beauty, despite that she was no longer human.

"Hey, Leo!" He looked back over at Mikey. "Don said that some of these guys are still human enough to survive outside of these tanks. Can we take them home?"

"Mikey, why would we do that?"

"Uh, because we could give them a better life that these weird scientist guys could?" he replied even though it was more of a question then a statement. But, he did have a point. These humans/animal/whatever they were would only be used in more experiments. Even though they could't save all of them, they could at least save four.

Leo sighed. The rest of the place would have to blow. "Don."

"Yah?"

"Still got your bombs on you?"

"Yah, why?"

"You, Raph, and Mikey pick out a mutant you want to raise. Then, place the bombs. We're going to blow this place."

Don understood this instantly. He and the others instantly began to inspect the tubes. Leo returned his gaze to the girl in front of him. Her eyes slowly opened. They were a misty blue. Kind of like Mikey's but lighter. 'Help me.' came the strange voice in his head again. Leo smiled slightly. "It was you, wasn't it?" he whispered.

The girl seemed to nod and placed her hand on the glass. Unsheathing his Katana's, Leo sliced them through the glass, surprisingly at the same time the others did. The glowing liquid spewed everywhere. The girl stared at Leo. A smile, a very small one but still a smile, formed on her face. Leo grinned and picked her up.

"Don, how are the bombs coming?"

Heaving the tigerish girl (the one that Mikey had said that was Raphs type) on his back, he said, "We've got about ten minutes before they blow."

"Is that enough time to get out?"

"Only if we run like mad." Don said as they ran out. Leo noted that everyone had selected a girl.

Mikey grinned. "Is there any other way to run?" he asked.

Leo shook his head with a sigh. His only hope right now was that they would get out of there alive and Master Splinter wouldn't kill them for bringing home four new mutants.
