Note To Readers: GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!! Just kidding, I've been listening to Mos Def all morning, so to those who aren't familiar with the term, then there you go. Anyway, This story is moving pretty fast, I originally planned to having Moving Mountains to have a part two, but everything that was happening in Part two fit into Chapter 9 pretty well. And to the Anonymous reader that reviewed, IF YOU DON"T LIKE HOW I WRITE THEN KISS MY FAT… Syke. Thanks a lot for pointing the problems out, and thanks to all my readers. Enjoy Chapter 10.

Chapter 10: Adjusting

Keno was scared out his mind. Not only was he on a farm that looked like something from Friday The 13th or Jeepers Creepers, but it was dark and he was alone in the farm house, ever since last night. He's sixteen, but who wouldn't be scared. "Come On! Let me out!"

"Oops…" Don was so tired; he fainted in front of the Farmhouse. He was shocked he slept all night on the ground, and even with Keno screaming his name. He got up and opened the door and a sweaty and terrified Keno, who jumped over Don, and ran straight to the Farm House. "Wow, how tired was I?"

Don walked into the house and his heart fluttered. "Hey little brother," Leo grinned. Don yelled at the top of his lungs as he ran and embraced his brother, who sat on the couch, as Raph wrapped his scars. "Hey slow down! That hurt! You're not goin' to say hi to your other big brother."

"Is he back?" Don looked over at his brother, Raph, who had a different vibe going on. "Raph?"

"Yeah," Raph smiled, surprisingly. "What's it to ya dome head?" Don ran over to Raph, and gave him a hug as well. "Easy! Wow, Tornado, Wow,"

"Aw," said Mickey, who walked out the kitchen. "What a touching yet cheesy reunion!" Raph slapped Mickey hard across the head. "Well, at least I know you do it out of Love,"

"I'm so glad to see you guys together again," April said. "Just like old times…" April looked at Leo, who had the greatest smile in the world at the moment.

" Hey babe," yawned Casey, who had gotten out the bed. He then realized the connection between Leo. " Oh, I see." Casey cut infront of April. " I'm not good enough huh?! You'd choose a mutant turtle, over me. FINE!!"

"What's the matter with you?" April yelled. " I haven't even choose anyone. Leo and I are friends, no relationship at all!" April was clueless to the reaction of her words from Leo. " Why don't you suck up your pride, and just talk to me like a human, rather then a dog in heat!"

"Oh, so you do find me, hot," Casey moved close to April. " Soon you will come to me. The thing is, do you know why?"

" What are you talking about?" questioned April, who knew exactly what he was talking about. " I…I don't know…"



"Curiosity," Casey spoke. "You long for a taste of the other kind. You will come to me,"

"Hey," Mickey interrupted the tension. "Didn't you steal that from a movie?"

"Yup," Casey proclaimed. "Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead man's Chest,"

"My sons," The room fell silent. Master Splinter appeared, his jingasa hanging from his neck "You have finally completed the balance of elements. Come to me, my sons." The four brothers walked over and bowed down to their father. "Not far, I have found a cave. Within the cave, I have created a trial. This trial will show me if you are ready to take down the Shredder."

"Master," Don spoke. "Who is this Shredder? What does he have to do with us, The Foot, and the mousers?"

"Miss O'Neal," asked Splinter. "I will need you to help me tell this story." Splinter sat down on the floor and April sat next to him. The brothers began to create a circle around their master, and Keno and Casey kneeled behind them. " In 1967, I moved to New York City from Japan. I was two years old. My master Yoshi, was one of the greatest Foot Ninjas to ever exist. He and Oroku Nagi, together, took down the entire Hebi Army, all in one battle. Like you, Leonardo, his form was lightning. Oroku Nagi had come from a long line of fire element warriors. When they were together, they were unstoppable. Together, they and their team rose to great ranks, but soon Nagi and Yoshi fell for Tang Shen. Once Nagi found out Yosh I proposed to Shen, they fought a long and hard battle, that ultimately killing Nagi.

Once Oroku Saki learned of this, he flew to Japan in revenge for killing his brother, Oroku Nagi. On July 20, 1973, Saki killed Yoshi, and took the name The Shredder."

April took up after Splinter. " The Mutagen, as you know, as originally made to create a Fountain of Youth. Now that Shredder has The Mutagen, he can create the ultimate fountain of youth. The thing is…the process takes a week."

"Exactly enough time it will take for you to finish your trial. We will leave tomorrow, "Splinter end. " Miss O'Neal, Mr. Jones, Keno, are you going to join the fight?"

" Yes, Master Splinter," Said Keno, bowing. " It will be an honor to serve under you." Casey looked down and back at Splinter and gave a nod.

"That means all of us," April said. " We will be ready when you guys return."

Later that Night

April couldn't explain how happy she was about Leo being awake and Raph was home. She gripped her pillow and kicked her legs. Then she heard a knock on the door. " Come in,"

She rolled over and watched as Casey entered the door. She quickly grabbed the blanket and covered her body. "What are you covering up for?"

"I don't trust your eyes," She said. " I don't even want you coming up with thoughts about me."



"To late babe," Casey said. " All I think about is you."

"Awe how sweet," April said sarcastically. " How about you get out my room, before I get one of my friends to rough you up, huh, babe?"

"Hey!" Casey raised his voice. " I was trying to be nice! I came in here to apologize!"

"Oh, for what?! Being the biggest a-hole in the planet?!" April argued. "You are the most ignorant, rude, brainless, monkey I ever seen in my life! And I rather date a frog, than date you…"

"Oh," fought Casey. "You surely are diggin the turtle! What you like reptiles better then amphibians?"

"Nothing is going on between me and Leo and it never will," April yelled. "And don't change the subject. This is about you, and how ignorant and…" April was interrupted by a kiss. At that moment everything between them had vanished. " wow, that was strange…I um…LEO!!"

"Don't have to explain." Leo said, as he peeked through the door. " I heard everything…" April ran to the door but before she could get to him, he had vanished. She frowned at what she had done.

" Oops," spoke Casey. " My bad…" Casey walked away before April could respond.
