"So you caught her." Raph said as he walked into the Lair followed by Splinter.

Leather head sat on the floor with Eclips still sleeping in his arms. Leo sat on the couch, a worried look on his face as he tried to get the throwing star out of his shell.

Splinter smiled slightly at Eclips then frond. "Raphael can you please leave us." Splinter said.

Raph hesitated but left to his room.

"Why didn't you tell us about the Mutants?" Leo asked. "Don't you trust us?"

"I trust you my son, but you all had your minds filled with other problems. I believed it was best not to tell you." Splinter said as pulled the throwing star out for Leo.

"So you just let Eclips bottle it up inside, Sense-

"Leonardo I had spoken to Eclips, she understood the situation of the matter." Splinter said in a stricken tone. "Although I did fear this would happen."

"Then why did you just leave it?!"

"Leonardo." Splinter said. "You of all my sons should know."

Leo looked at Splinter then to the ground. "Sorry Sensei."

"Splinter if you would allow me, I wish to speak to Eclips, I believe we can connect to each other's experiences with the Krang." Leather head requested.

"Yes, I believe that would be beneficial." Splinter sighed. "Come we will continue in the Dojo, Leonardo will you and Raphael go topside and met your brothers?"

"Ay Sensei." Leo said getting up and going to Raph's room.


"She a lot different to most mutants I've met." Leather head said sitting down in the dojo.

"Oh how so?" Splinter asked.

"She's shy and intimidated easily unlike most. She smaller and most of all, she cares about others." Leather head explained. "It's unlike the Krang to create such a mutant."

Splinter smiled. "Eclips is who she chooses to be." He said. "Not what the Krang made her to be. That is the same for you Leather head."

"Yes." Leather head smiled as well.

"Mmm-Master Splinter." I yawned as I began to wake up. I wiggled around in Leather head's arms and stretched. "What's going on?" I asked sitting up on Leather head's lap.

"Eclips I believed we talked about the mutants and yet you still proceeded to plan a rescues." Splinter said.

"Oh." I looked down. "Sensei I'm sorry but I just… I want to help them." I said.

Splinter sighed and placed his hand on my head. "I know you do." He said softly. "Now Leather head would like to talk to you…


"Dude that's awesome!" Mikey said happily.

"It's not awesome Mikey." Leo snapped.

"Yeah its not awesome, Its unfair." Raph said angrily. "We need to help the other mutants."

"No way Raph." Leo objected.

"I think Raph's right, we should." Donnie said.

"What? Donnie I thought you could see how stupid that is?" Leo said.

"Leo look at it this way, Eclips is determined to save them, she so determined she was willing to fight you." Donnie explained. "How long do you think we can keep stopping her?"

Leo sighed and looked down. "Ok but if we do this you guy have to follow my lead, no running in without a plan… Raphael?" Leo looked at Raph.

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say fearless, now let's go!" Raph said running off.

"This is going to be sick, think of all the new mutant friends we're gonna make." Mikey beamed.


"8…." I said in deep thought. "I've never been there I was only kept in priority 5 facilities." I sighed and looked at Leatherhead.

Splinter sat away from us, allowing the two of us to talk freely.

"Well I assure you, none are nice." Leatherhead said gloomily.

"I know." I sighed. "So did you see the mutants?" I asked.

"No." He shook his head. "I have not."

"Leatherhead I don't get what's going on? The Krang are just mutating humans. it doesn't make sense." I fell back and threw my in the air. "Why would they're do that it's not like it's going to do anything."

Leatherhead did responded. I looked at him then looked over at Splinter. "Sensei what do you think?" I asked rolling over onto my stomach.

"From what you've just said I believe the Krang may be testing something." He said stroking his beard. "Eclips may I ask what are these mutants like? Did they still act like humans?"

"Well I only saw a couple but from what I saw they were just like normal humans just with animal parts… but there was one mutant…"


"Dude look!" Mikey said pointing at a cell window.

"Mikey." Leo said quietly. "We need to be quiet."

"But dudes there's a girl in here." Mikey said.

Donnie walk up to him and peeked through the window. "She's a mutant." He said giving Leo and thumbs up.

"Ok can you open the door." Leo asked.

"Yeah." Donnie said getting to work.

Mikey tapped on the window getting the girls attention. She got up and walked over to the door.

"Hi." Mikey waved.

The girl just stared.

"There." Donnie said as the door opened.

The girl didn't move.

"Cool she has cat eyes and ears." Mikey smiled stepping towards the girl.

"Its ok we're not here to hurt you." Leo said. "We're getting you out, do you know where the other mutants are?"

"They're gone." She said through the bandana that covered her mouth. "The Krang moved them."

"Damn it!" Raph yelled punching the wall.

"Ok we're going." Leo said.

"But what about the other mutants?" Donnie asked.

"You have any idea where they went?" Leo asked.

Donnie looked down and shook his head.

"What about you?" Raph asked the girl.

She also shock her head.

"Ok then its settled, let's take… um what's your name?" Leo asked the girl.

"Eco." The girl said.
