Canto the Seventh
The cameras in April's apartment
Suddenly went black. Don hit the alarm.
He tied on his mask, and donned his long cloak;
He grabbed his staff. "Don't fail me now," he spoke.
He tested its strength against his own arm:
Prepared to fulfill the promise he meant.
They scurried from holes and up fire escapes.
And when they got there, April was unharmed.
Donnie studied the camera system,
And determined the wires were cut by Them.
"It's a diversion! The sewers are swarmed
By the Foot, a clan of villainous apes."
They raced through the sewers with April in tow.
When they arrived, his worst fears realized,
The ransacked lair missed Master Splinter.
While they were away, they let in Shredder.
Raph howled; Mike fell to his knees; Leo eyed
April, and handed her a small crossbow.
"Patience is a virtue," said Master Rat.
Now more than ever they acted on that.
