Greetings all, it's time now for Part Four. This kinda stinks being I was expecting the show to have a week break between the new episode so I figured I could get this finished before the Mutagen Man episode would premiere. Oh well, the good news is I have pretty much all the dialogue done, it's just a matter of getting it all into story form. So nothing I do will be coming straight from the episode. That said let's start Part Four, enjoy. As always, all rights of TMNT go to their respective owners. Some without further adu, Let's go!

Donatello had awoken from his slumber, but he could tell that it wasn't morning. It was almost like his instincts told him to wake up, as if something was wrong. But what could possible be wrong he wondered to himself.

"Ahh...Timoth...Timothy?" He looked around for his friend. He wasn't here, not even a sign of the container that he was inside. He was in a frantic observation for Timothy, but where could a giant canister of ooze possible go? "Timothy! What the heck? He's gone! Where could he go?"

Donnie then looked down and noticed there were what looked like slimey yellow footprints that lead out of the lair, and then he noticed something else was missing...

"My picture's gone too...did he try to find April?" If that was the case, that was the last thing he needed. April was still vividly upset with the Turtles, the last thing Donnie wanted was a giant Ooze creature trying to find her. "Oh great...I got to find her before he does!"

With that, Donnie bolted out of the lair again, just as he had done hours before. Now he had to try to find the person he tried to avoid before, to make sure the person he tried to save from before didn't locate the person that he tried to avoid...enough to make turtle's head spin...

Hours later in the main room of the lair, Raph was playing on the pinball machine just about to break Mikey's newly obtained high score, just when Mikey on his back causing Raph to lose, which Mikey laughed persistably at.

"Why you little pipsqueak!" Raph then tackled Mikey to the ground and giving him everything in the book as Mikey laughed in horror.

"AHH!" Mikey screamed out hoping that Raph would stop, no dice. "Okay I'm down..."

Raph was fair and let his brother up once he gave up, extending a hand and pulled him up, even though he was so close, brothers will be brothers.

"Good! Well, you're up Leo...Leo?" Raph turned to his older brother. But Leo was distracted by something. He was on the couch staring at the doors to the lab ever since they had awoken an hour ago, wondering where their other brother was. "What's bugging you now?"

"I'm worried about Donnie guys..." Leonardo admitted. And it was true, Donnie had had virtually no visable or verberal contact with any of them for the past four days. Mikey and Raph it barely bothered, Leo quite the opposite. If Donnie was distracted elsewhere, not only would it take a long time for him to gather himself, but it would normally put the team at risk during missions. If he wasn't all there, they were in trouble more times than not. Raph however brushed off Leonardo's concerns.

"Why are you so worried? You know how crazy Donnie gets when it comes to April." Raph called out which lead to their sensei walking up behind him.

"And what makes you think that it is merely about April Raphael?" Splinter said startling the rad clad turtle.

"Well, I mean...isn't it obvious Sensei? All he's thinking about is helping her." He responded, but Sensei quietly shook his head, it was clear that they were not aware of the bigger picture, and he felt he needed to share it with them.

"I fear Donatello carries many more burdens than you believe my sons. He cares not just for April, but for April's father...and for Timothy as well."

The brothers were taken aback by the final name. Sure they knew about April and her dad, but why Donnie feel any burden about Pulverizer.

"Timothy? Why would Donnie feel responsible for Timothy Sensei?" Leonardo questioned.

"Because he is responsible Leonardo." Splinter answered, they were surprised by the responce needless to say. "Donatello chose to train Timothy to assure his saftey. I advised against it, but he stated that it was the right thing to do. By doing so, Timothy's saftey and well-being became Donatello's responsibility to bare. It is no doubt that he feels he has failed his friend that he was responsible to protect."

They all looked to each other, none of them knew any of that. They knew that Donatello was concerned about Timothy was in the foot, but not because that thought that he felt "responsible".

"Of course. That's why he wanted to show us what he'd done to help Pulverizer." Leonardo figured out, realizing no doubt that his brother was proud of his feat to help a friend.

"We didn't exactly show that we cared much, did we?" Raphael soon replied. The three hung their heads now knowing the error that they had made to their brother. They lifted their heads upon the speech of their sensei once more.

"Donatello is hurting very much emotionally, and I fear your lack of graditude was no doubt disheartening to your brother. If the three of you truely care about Donatello, you will support him through these troubling times."

Hai sensei." They all said in unison. Splinter then left to proceed with his meditation leaving the brothers to scan over each other trying to gather each other's thoughts. None of them knw how wrong they were about Donnie's true motives for The Pulverizer. And they knew they had to right their wrong and apoligize to Donnie right away.

The boys after not finding Donnie in his room knew that he was again in his lab, the door was sealed shut, all that could be seen was the small bit of light shining underneath the crack of the door. Leo approached the steel door as his brothers were close behind. He banged on it to make sure he could be heard.

"Donnie? You in here?" Leo called out, there was no answer. They suspected he must be sleeping after more hours of working. Leo began to open the door up slowly. "We just wanting to...!"

But his speech stopped when he observed the conclusion. The lab was empty, not a soul in it.

"Donnie?" Mikey called out also beginning to worry as they all began to scurry around.

"He's gone." Raph stating the obvious. As the brothers looked over every nook and cranny of the lab.

No sight of Donnie anywhere.

"Why would he just take off without telling us?" Leonardo stated as Michelangelo's eyes grew wide and started blinking repeatedly.

"Uh...guys. I think something's missing." Mikey called out to his brothers

"Really Mikey? Like what?" Leonardo just passed to the side thinking Mikey was talking about their brother, only to find out.

"Like that big container of guts and goo that was Pulverizer!" Mikey pointed to the area in the wall that Pulverizer was at, which was nothing but a big empty space. They all ran to the spot in shock, this didn't make any sense.

"Donnie must have taken him somewhere, Pulverizer couldn't have just got up and walked away..." Leo pondered loudly.

"Actually, I think that's exactly what he did..." Mikey looking down at the floor below them. Like Donnie before them, they all saw the oozy footprints that lead out of the back entrance to the subway tracks.

"Donnie must have went after him." The leader turtle came to the conclusion.

"But how did he escape?" Raph followed up to him.

"We'll find out when we find him!" Leo ordered out as they began to run out into the subway to pursuit Pulverizer whereever he could be.

Obviously there was no way that Timothy would escape, there had to be some explaination. "Find him? He's a pile of goo in a giant canister...where would he possibly be?" Raph asked loudly.

"Where is April!?" Timothy screamed out as he was in the middle of the streets with people running for their lives trying to get one answer but getting nothing but frantic cries for help, but he then grabbed someone by the collar of their suit and began shaking him violently.

"Tell me!" He screamed out again holding the picture of April in his other hand, getting nothing but a terrified scream as a pair of cop cars pulled up. Two officers then got out, one holding a megaphone.

"Let go of the civilian or we will take action!" The first officer called out in his megaphone which got the attention of Timothy was now outraged at the lack of cooperation he was getting from anybody. Everyone just judging him by his looks and not by his intentions. He then tossed the civilian to the side and then smashed a nearby fire hydrent causing water to spray out at a frantic rate causing the officers to duck for cover.

"Where is she?" Timothy then ran off holding the picture trying to mark out where she was.

"Call the sheriff, report the situation!" The second officer turned to the first.

"What am I supposed to say?" The first responded. "That there's a giant ooze monster with arms and legs on the loose?"

It was becoming chaos as Timothy was beginning to destroy everything in his way. He was going to find April, no matter what he had to do, or who would get in his way.
