Chapter 23: Professor Honeycutt

A robot was running through the messy streets chased by some well-armed men. He decided to take a narrow back-alley but that turned out being a bad choice: the robot had reached a dead end. The men had cornered the robot and the he had no way out. Or that what he thought before something utterly unexpected happened.

A light blue flash of light shoot from the sky and landed between the men and the robot. When the light disappeared, they could see four teenage boys standing right in front of them.

"Ugh, that sure was unpleasant" Mikey complained."There's nothing more unpleasant than your face" Raph mocked "…but I admit that this comes as a good second". "Guys… I think we landed middle of some kind of situation. And I mean literally middle of it" Don said. Both the robot and the men were looking at the four boys pretty confused.

"The fugitoid has some kind of secret weapon!" one of the men finally yelled. "No, I don't" the robot stated trying to back off. "What happened? Where are we?" Mikey asked still a little bit hazy. "Beats me. But I don't think we're very welcome here either" Raph told glaring at the men who were now pointing guns at them.

"Guys… You know what to do right?" Leonardo told taking out his katanas. "Yeah, time for some ninja action" Raph grinned. The teenagers rushed at the men. Leonardo used his swords to wound the men's hands to make them to drop the guns, meanwhile Raph stuck his sais inside the gun's pipes causing the guns to explode when the men tried to shoot. Donatello used his staff to hit the guns away from the army men's hands and then knocked them out with it. Michelangelo did what he did best: improvised. By avoiding attacks he made the armed men attack each other or crash against the wall. Soon the men were down.

"Requesting for back-up" the troop leader said in his radiophone. "No you are not" Raph told and knocked the guy out. "You think that took care of them?" Raph asked grinning from Leo. But at that moment they heard more people coming towards them. "I don't think so" Leo replied, prepared to start fighting again.

"This way, quickly!" the robot told waving the boys to follow him. The teenagers followed the robot but they could hear the voices of troops just behind them. The teenagers and the robot ran up the stairs and reached the rooftop. "Oh my… A dead end…" the robot said.

Leo looked down at the street and saw some kind of floating truck coming closer. "Quick. Let's jump on that truck!" he ordered. "But I'm afraid of heights" the robot told. The enemy had almost reached them. "Well, if you prefer laser beams, have it in your way then" Raph told. The robot seemed like he didn't like that option either.

"Jump, now!" Leo yelled. The teenagers jumped and landed on dust. The robot followed them soon. The enemy had reached the rooftop, just to find out that the robot had gotten away. "Sir, we lost the fugitoid" a man reported. "Search the whole city. We cannot let that fugitoid to escape" the voice in radiophone replied.

"Wow… What is this place?" Mikey asked amazed. They were looking at a strange city, with high, kinda futuristic buildings glowing in many bright colors. The sky was deep red and had some planets and stars on it. "It sounds crazy but I don't think we're on Earth anymore" Donatello told.

The truck stopped and Leo jumped out. The others followed him. "Earth? Is that your home planet?" the robot asked. "Yes, do you…?" Leo started. "I've never heard of it. I don't think it's in this galaxy" the robot told.

"Never heard? Where the fuck are we?!" Raph yelled at the robot. "Calm down son, you're on planet D'Hoonib, in the city of Peblak, in the Federation's territory" the robot told. "A different… Galaxy…?" Don thought out loud. "No way… That… Can't be…" Leonardo mumbled, unable to believe what he was just told. "I mean… We were just so close to saving Master Splinter and now he's out of our reach again" Leo said, sounding both angry and puzzled.

"Everything is out of our reach now…" Mikey sighed. "There must be a way back home" Raph insisted. "But we don't even know how we got here in the first place" Donatello told. "That question has been vexing me. How did you materialize like that?" the robot asked pointing at the boys.

"Guys, you can talk about that later, right now we've got company!" Leonardo told, pointing at the Federation's troops that were drawing near to them. With a tank. "Not fair, how come the bad guys always get the great toys" Mikey complained.

"What now?" Don asked. "Let's run!" Leo told and run behind the nearest stall. But the Federation's men were already everywhere. "I think we are surrounded" the robot told. Leo spotted something on the ground. "Quickly, in the sewers" he told. They went in the strange looking manhole and landed at the local sewers.

"Wow, this place is neat. Like literally neat" Mikey said looking around while walking forwards. The place indeed seemed too clean to really be the sewers. But the other guys weren't listening at Mikey at all, instead they were curious about the robot.

"So…What's your deal robot?" Raph asked unnecessarily rudely. Leonardo nudged him. "What my brother meant to say is… Who are you? Why are you chased by those men?" Donatello asked. "Hmm, I do own you an explanation" the robot replied.

"My name is professor Honeycutt. Or at least, I used to be. I was the most brilliant scientist on D'Hoonib. I had just completed my mental wave helmet, a device for boosting mind powers like telepathy and telekinesis, when I was rudely interrupted by General Blanque. Just because he's the head of the Federation military in this sector, he thinks he can call any time he wants.

You see, the good General wanted me to build my teleportal device. A device capable of transporting beings from planet to planet. I invented the teleportal as a way to promote peace but General Blanque had other ideas. He wanted to use it as a weapon for death and destruction. And that is why, even though he was funding my work, I could never build it for him.

It was then when I received a distress call from my worker robot Sal. He had become entangled some wires. An electrical storm was raving and we were struck by lightning. The lighting must have triggered my mental wave helmet. My body was destroyed. But my mind was transferred in to Sal's robotic shell.

Apparently the good General had been constantly spying on me. And was well-aware of my transference in to this robot body. He was overjoyed. You see, robots have no rights. The general could do anything he liked with me now. The teleportal I wouldn't give him when I was human, he could take from me now that I became a robot.

He sent his men after me. But with the help of some large hermit crab like creatures, I was able to elude Blanque's soldiers, at least, until I came to the city. Which is where you came in" professor Honeycutt told.

"Guys… Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Leonardo asked. "Something with a crunchy crust, tomato sauce, lots of pepperoni, cheese and garlic?" Mikey suggested. The others glared at him. "What? I can't be the only one who's hungry…" Mikey said.

"You mean the teleportal, right?" Raph asked from Leo, pretending that Mikey had never talked. "Right. If the professor here…" Leo started. "…can build his teleportal …" Don continued. "….then we can use it to go home!" Raph ended the sentence. "Oh" Mikey said and was kinda disappointed on not being on the same wavelength with his brothers. Then again, was he ever?

They continued their journey on the sewers. "Is this really the sewers?" Raph asked. "Why, yes" professor Honeycutt replied. "Then how come this place is so…Clean?" Raph wondered. They could hear muffled squeaking and the noise started slowly to get louder and louder. "I think that's how" Donatello said pointing at something end of the corridor.

The thing looked like a giant iron worm. It had two lamps as its eyes and two grabbing hooks to pick up the rubbish in to its gigantic mouth that was covered with cutters that mutilated the rubbish in to dust. Leonardo didn't need to order the others to run, because everyone was already running away from the iron worm as fast as they could.

The machine was reaching them. "I don't think we can out run it" Donatello told. "Then we have to dismantle it" Leonardo told. "If you guys can slow it down, I think I can stop it" Donatello told. "I have an idea" Leonardo said and cut pipes above him into three big pieces. Raph and Mikey both grabbed one, so did Leo himself. They pushed the metal worm back with the pipes.

Don used his staff to jump on the metal worm. He opened a control panel. "Hurry Donnie!" Mikey yelled. "Raph, throw me your sai!" Don told. Raph was pushing the worm with the pipe on his one hand and took his sai out its holster with the other. Then he threw the sai at Don. Don stabbed the worm's control panel and the worm shut down.

"Well, that took care of it" Don told jumping of the worm and gave Raph his sai back. "I hope we won't run in to any others" Leonardo told. "You know what guys? I think I prefer the sewers at home after all… I kinda like how the biggest worms in there are only about the size of my middle finger and do not scare the crap out anyone" Mikey said, then looked at Raph and was about to jeer about Raph's fear over insects but Raph told coldly: "Mikey, if you don't want to be fed to the next shredder-worm we meet, then you better keep your mouth shut" "Guys, let's keep on going" Leo ordered.

After walking a good while, they headed to the top side. "These soldiers are everywhere…" Raph said when he noticed the Federation men on the streets. They hid into a side alley. "We got to get out of the city, fast. We need to get some transportation" Leonardo told. "Leave it to me" Raph told grinning and left. "For some reason I feel like I shouldn't had let him to do this…" Leonardo said suspicious of Raph. "I'll go to keep eye on him!" Mikey told and run after Raph. "Or him to do that either" Leonardo said.

Mikey had really no intention to watch over Raph. As soon as they were out on the streets, Mikey headed off to find some food. Meanwhile Raph sneaked closer to the Federation's tank. A soldier was looking out from it, searching something, probably them and professor Honeycutt. Raph was still smiling sinisterly.

When the man turned his back to Raph, Raph jumped out and knocked the guy out. Then he threw the guy off the tank and went inside. There was only the driver. Raph sneaked behind the driver and knocked him out too. This guy also shared the fate of his comrade and was thrown out. "Now then… How to drive this…" Raph mumbled sitting on the driver's seat.

Mikey was going around the food stalls. When one of the sellers wasn't looking, Mikey quickly grabbed a fruit and was about to flee, but ran straight in to a Federation soldier who had seen Mikey to steal the fruit. "Um, here, you can have it!" Mikey told and threw the fruit in the soldier's face and they rushed away. The man got the fruit of his face and followed Mikey.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid me" Mikey complained while trying to get away. He was a fast runner so the soldier was far behind but certainly still after him. Suddenly Mikey's path was blocked by a Federation tank. The Federation soldier was reaching Mikey and he had brought a friend with him. Mikey had nowhere to run anymore.

For Mikey's surprise, the tank's pipe knocked the two soldiers down. "Huh? The driver must be some noob, lucky for me though" Mikey said. "Hey, who are you calling a noob, do you want to be knocked out too? " Raph asked peeking out from the tank. "Nice ride you got there Raphie" Mikey told smiling and climbed in. "I know right? Now to get the others" Raph told grinning.

Leo wasn't as impressed as Mikey was. "Raph, you could have tried to get something that would, I don't know… Blend in a little bit better?"" Leo nagged. "What do you mean? Federation tank in Federation area… I'd say we're blending perfectly in" Raph told still smiling like a small child that just got a new toy.

But when they drove past Federation tanks, the other tanks started to follow them. "Oh do we now?" Leo asked not looking very pleased. The tanks started to shoot them, Raph tried to his best to avoid getting shot but still they got hit. "Donnie, return fire!" Leo yelled. "In a minute my D'Hoonian is a little bit rusty" Don told trying to figure out how to make the tank shoot.

"Perhaps I can help. There are few advantages of this robotic body" Professor Honeycutt told. He changed the form of his hand and plugged it in the tank's control panel. "Yes, I have this tank's weapons under my control now" Professor Honeycutt told.

Raph chuckled and turned the tank around. "I'm getting a little bit worried of him" Mikey said to Leo. "Getting?" Leo asked. "Right, good point" Mikey replied. Their tank shot two nearest tanks down and then continued its escape.

"There's another one on our tail" Leo told. "Not for long" Raph told and flew the tank near to the wall. The left wing was scraping the wall, scattering pieces of the wall on the tailing tank. "There's one more up ahead" professor Honeycutt told. "FIRE!" Raph yelled. Honeycutt did what he was told and shot the tank.

"There's lots of men ahead" Donatello told. "Um so?" Raph asked. "Let's abandon this tank" Leonardo told. "What?! But…!" Raph yelled. "No buts, this is our chance, let's move!" Leonardo commanded. They left the tank and the empty tank was heading towards the Federation corps. They shot the tank and it exploded.

While the Federation corps were investigating the tank's remains, the teenagers and professor Honeycutt were escaping. But no matter where they run, they couldn't get out of the city without the Federation noticing them. And wanted-posters with their faces on them were everywhere.

"Don't those guys have anything better to do?" Donatello asked when they had spotted yet another soldier group on patrol. "Yeah, like eat. Seriously, if I knew we were going to get zapped into another galaxy I would have at least bought a snack with me" Mikey said. "More than food, we need an escape plan" Leo told.

"We need to get off this planet quickly and quietly. And that means… Smugglers. I believe I know one particularly sleazy inn where we just might obtain off-world transport" Professor Honeycutt told. "That sounds like a plan. Lead the way professor" Leonardo told. "Inn? That means there must be food in there!" Mikey rejoiced

"Here is it" Professor Honeycutt told. As he told before, the place sure seemed sleazy. "How do you know this place? It doesn't seem to suit you…" Raph asked. "Well… I'm very fond one of the hot, round, bread-like cheese dish that they serve here" professor told. "Or at least… I used to be" he added and patted his metal stomach. "Cool, sounds like an alien pizza, I'd like to taste that" Mikey said.

"We can't just walk in there, our pictures are everywhere" Leonardo told pointing at the one of the wanted posters. "We need disguises" Donatello told looking around and spotted some clothes hanging on the street to dry. There were four for men and one girl's gown. Leo and Raph looked at each other and hurried to catch the men's ones.

When Mikey realized that Leo and Raph had started running, he hurried too and snatched himself a men's gown. Honeycutt took the last one for men. "Haha, too bad Donnie" Mikey jeered. "Um actually… I'm too tall for the women's outfit so you have to take it" Don told. "Eh? EEEH?!" Mikey yelled.

"That's true… I think you might be the only one of us who fits in that…" Leo said. "Yeah besides from the four of us, you look and sound like a girl the most… And aren't you already used to wearing girls' clothes?" Raph teased. "Not fair. Raph, you're not that much taller than me, it would surely fit for you too" Mikey complained. "No way, it's your own fault being too slow" Raph told.

"Mikey, think about it this way: Raph would make an ugly girl and make people suspicious because he would look too obviously like a man dressed in a drag. But you on the other hand are cute enough to pass as a girl" Donatello tried to talk Mikey over. "Hey… " Raph growled angrily.

"I guess it's my duty as the best looking of this group… I'll do it" Mikey sighed and wore the girl's robe. "Oh yeah, the pictures they have of us are with masks on… Should we take them off now?" Donatello asked. "Yeah, it might be the best" Leonardo told. He slid the mask from his face to his neck. The robe was covering it completely and the hood made it hard for people to see his face. The others did the same.

They entered the bar. It was full of different kinds of aliens from the other planets. In the middle of the room was the bar desk, where a guy was making food and drinks. "Finally some food!" Mikey rejoiced and sat on the table. He took the menu and opened it but then realized that he had no idea what it was saying.

"Excuse me dude" Mikey told to the bar keeper. "Yeah you. I'll have what he's having" Mikey told pointing at a random stranger without even looking what was on their plate. He wished he had though, because the dish he got seemed inedible and very disgusting. Not only it looked like horrible, it smelt even worse. Mikey rose from the table quickly but accidentally run into an alien that looked pretty much like a gigantic bug.

"Hey there pretty…" the alien greeted. "Um, hi…." Mikey said trying to mimic a girl's voice the best he could. "Say are you a library book? Because I'm checking you out" the alien told touching Mikey with his tentacles. "Must be the worst pick-up line ever, even I could do better" Mikey thought but replied faking a laugh: "Hihi, I'm not a library book" "You're new here? I like that in a woman" the alien told.

Mikey felt grossed out and was trying to find a way out of this situation. He spotted Raph near, drinking something that looked like alien booze. And from the expression on Raph's face Mikey could tell that either the drink was way too strong or tasted horrible. Or both. Most likely too strong, because Raph still kept drinking it.

"I'm sorry but… I came here with my boyfriend there" Mikey told pointing at Raph. "Don't worry, if he keeps drinking that stuff, he won't remember even coming here" the alien told. "Hihihi… WAIT WHAT?!" Mikey shouted. When he noticed he had left the girl imitation on the halfway through he coughed and said: "Sorry, my throat is a little sore… Anyways, I really need to go now…" But the alien man grabbed Mikey's gown. Mikey tried to shake the guy off but accidentally ended up ripping his gown. It fell off revealing both his clothes and face.

The bar keeper stared at Mikey, then at the wanted poster and then back to Mikey. The bar keeper took a phone out and said something to it but Mikey couldn't hear what. He hurried to Raph. "Raph, we've been seen" Mikey told. "What? Mikey, why aren't you wearing the cape?!" Raph yelled.

"Shh, don't be so loud. I think the bar keeper called the soldiers, we have to go to get Leo and others" Mikey told. Raph was about to take the last sip of his half emptied glass. "And it would be better if you didn't drink that" Mikey told placing his hand on Raph's glass. "Hey, this must be my last chance to taste booze from different galaxy" Raph argued. "You had enough already, now come" Mikey told dragging Raph after him.

They found the others on the other room. "Guys, we need to leave" Mikey told. "Yes, I know, but we have to find a ride first" Leonardo replied without even looking at Mikey. "No, we need to leave first!" Mikey insisted. "Why aren't you wearing your robe?" Leo asked when he finally had turned his head towards Mikey.

"Because some weirdo tried to harass me and when I tried to leave, the robe got ripped" Mikey told and continued: "I think the bar keeper has already called the Federation group" They heard voices coming out of the lobby. "I think they are here already" Raph said. "There's a backdoor, hurry!" Leo told. But the troops came through the backdoor also.

They quickly spotted Mikey and attacked. But Mikey's brothers were also to ready to attack. Raph, Leo and Don threw off their disguises and rushed at the Federation corps. When Raphael kicked one guy down their dropped their gun. "Hmm… I'll borrow this a little" Raph said and tried to aim other guy's gun with his. But it was hard to aim and he ended up shooting a hole in the wall.

"Raphael, don't play around!" Leo yelled kicking two guys down. "I'm not playing, I'm fighting" Raph told. "What?" Leo yelled confused but more Federation soldiers attacked him and he had no time to pay attention to Raph.

"There is too many of them" Donatello told. "A small miracle wouldn't be so bad" Mikey replied. In few seconds, a wall was blown up. The dust was everywhere and the teenagers and professor Honeycutt used this chance to hide behind a desk.

When the air was cleared, they could see orange walking triceratops in space suits. "Okay, alien booze wasn't such a good idea after all" Raph commented after seeing them. "What?!" Leo snapped with higher pitch than usual. He was about to start nagging at Raph but Don said: "It's not a hallucination Raph, there really are walking dinosaurs there"

"Oh no, they are Triceratons. But what Triceratons are doing in the Federation Military's area?" professor Honeycutt wondered. "Find the fugitoid!" the Triceratons' leader ordered. "I guess looking for you" Mikey told.

"If the Federation guys are bad, are the dinosaur guys good then?" Mikey asked. "God heavens no, the Triceratons are a ruthless and war-liking race. In fact, they might be even worse than Federation" professor Honeycutt told.

The Federation corps began to fight against the Triceratons. "Now is our chance to get out here" Leonardo told. "How? They are blocking all the exits…" Raph said. Donatello glanced at the gun on Raph's hands, then a table near to them and finally the hole in the wall. "I think I have an idea. Raph, let me borrow that" Donatello told. Raph handed over the gun.

He opened the gun and started to modify it. But some Triceratons had found their hiding place and shot the table in pieces. They had to scatter around the room and fight. Don got his work done and placed the gun under a table.

"Guys, gather on the table, quickly!" Donatello yelled and jumped on himself. Raph jumped on, followed by Mikey. Leonardo and professor Honeycutt were further away and tried to run to the others while avoiding the laser gun shots. But one shot made Honeycutt fell. Leonardo tried to go back to help him, but his way got blocked by laser shots. A Triceraton used this moment to grab professor Honeycutt and threw him to another Triceraton who passed him yet to another his comrade and soon professor Honeycutt was already in the hands of Triceratons' commander.

Leo had no other choice than run to his brothers, on the table. The timer went off and the gun shot the table in the air. It curved to the hole in the wall, knocking down both Triceratons and Federation soldiers that were standing in the way. The table landed outside of the bar, in the streets. The guys fell against the hard ground.

While lying in there, they could see further away the Triceratons forcing professor Honeycutt in a space car. Leo got up and tried to run after them but they took off long before Leo could reach them. "No… We have to save him!" Leo yelled.

"Guys, check this one out!" Donatello told. He was standing in front of an old-looking, little bit trashed space car. With a sidecar. "That junk?" Raph asked. "I think I can make it work just fine" Donatello told and started fixing the car. Then he jumped in and started the engine. The car let out a thick smoke cloud but sounded like it had started working. "Cough… See? Just…cough…fine?" Donatello coughed.

"Sidecar, I'll take the sidecar!" Mikey told and jumped in the sidecar. Leonardo jumped in the back seat, Raphael next to Don on the front seat. "I can drive" Raphael told. "You're drunk, no way we would let you drive" Leonardo said but continued: "But are you sure that you can ride this Donnie?"

"Don't worry, it can't be much harder than driving a car" Donatello told and accelerated. The space car took a quick spurt and gyrated from side to side. Don slowed down a little and the car lifted higher, over the rooftops. Raph glared at Donnie. "Ahhahhaa… I meant to do that" Don laughed as awkward.

But there was two huge building just in front of them. There was a small gap between them, just barely big enough to the space car fit in. Donnie quickly turned the car sideways but when he tried to make it straight again, the space car started spin around uncontrollably and even hit buildings few times.

"I drive fucking better even when I'm drunk!" Raph yelled when Don finally got the space car straight. They had finally gotten out of the city. "The Triceratons and Honeycutt! " Leo yelled and pointed the fleeing space car. Don flew after them. But the Triceratons noticed that they were being followed and called for back-up.

Triceraton soldiers on jet packs started chasing the teenagers and shot laser beams at them. "We're being under attack!" Leo yelled. "Oh, really now?" Raph replied. Leo gave Raph a quick glare. "Donnie, doesn't this bucket have any weapons?" Raph asked. "I'm afraid not. We just have to rely on my flying skills" Don told. "That's it. We're doomed" Raph said.

"Gee, thanks a lot" Don replied and took a quick dive up. It didn't shake off the Triceratons so Don dived in the woods hoping that he would be able to get rid of them. He was able to made one of the Triceratons hit a tree but there was still two to go.

"I really wish we had some weapons" Mikey told. "Like Master Splinter taught us, anything is a weapon in right hands" Leonardo told. He cut off the seat and threw it at the Triceratons. It hit one of them and the Triceraton fell on the ground.

"Hmm… What are these? I wonder what happens if I press this…" Mikey mumbled and was tapping the buttons on the sidecar. "Mikey, leave the shiny buttons alone" Donnie told. "But some of them might come out very useful" Mikey told and pushed a big red button. The side car was detached.

"Mikey!" Raph yelled and tried to reach Mikey but the side-car was already too far away. It was quickly falling towards the ground. The teenagers were so focused on Mikey that they had completely forgotten the Triceraton still following them. Their car got shot and they also began to fall.

Don tried to steer their car closer to Mikey. Mikey jumped in the car but said: "Great, from one falling car to another" The Triceraton flew to the space car's cowl and ripped it off, as well as the motor and flew off. They started to fall even faster than before. They hit the weird umbrella-like trees that slowed down the fall a little. But the moment the car hit the ground, it began to spin around and four spins it landed on its right side.

Leo and Mikey who weren't wearing seat belts, well, of course they weren't because Leo had thrown the whole seat away, fell straight on the ground. Raph removed his seat belt and also fell. He crawled a little bit further, then leaned on a tree and threw up. Lastly Don got off, landing on his legs. Leo and Mikey staggered up.

"Well… It could've ended worse…" Don told. And got hit by a thick stick Raph had thrown at him. "Well, it could have but I'm not saying it couldn't have ended better" Don added. Leo hit his hand against a tree. "We lost the professor…We'll never find him now…" Leo said and continued seeming like he was about to cry: "Which means… We'll never get home…"

"We failed ourselves… We failed Master Splinter" Leo mumbled, leaning on to the tree, covering his eyes with his hand. "Aw don't worry Leo, we'll find a way. We always do" Mikey told placing his hand on Leo's shoulder.

"Hey guys… Can you hear that?" Don asked. Leo listened carefully. "Fighting… That might be where professor Honeycutt is! Hurry!" Leo told and started to run. Raph was still kneeling on the ground wishing they wouldn't need to get moving so soon but he didn't really have a choice. He got up and followed his brothers.

They reached an open space and saw Federation military fighting against the Triceratons. They could see professor Honeycutt taken in some kind of Triceraton military base. "We need to get in there" Donatello told. "They are busy fighting the Federation army so if we go around from the back, we might get in" Leonardo told.

They were close to the doors when they noticed that the Triceratons were falling back and the doors were closing. They wouldn't make it in time. And Leo did say it out loud too. But when he turned to look at his brothers, he noticed that one of them was missing. "Wait… Don't tell me Raph…" Leo started. "If you mean about transforming into that black creature… Yes, he just did" Donatello told.

In a moment the door was opened and the boys rushed in. Raph closed the door again. There were unconscious Triceraton soldiers lying on the ground. "You promised me!" Leo yelled at Raph. "Don't worry, nobody wasn't even able to see what hit them" Raph told. "That's not the problem! And they could have caught you on the camera or something" Leonardo scolded.

"That was the very first thing I destroyed. Look, there was no other choice. We wouldn't have been able to make it on time so I had to" Raph defended himself. "We could have tried to break the door down" Leo told. "As if that would've been even possible" Raph argued. "Guys, we don't really have time for this, let's move on" Don told.

They continued forward, trying to find Honeycutt. They reached a spacious room filled with boxes. There was also a window. "I don't understand… Why would a bunker have a cargo bay?" Leo wondered looking around. At that moment, the floor started shaking. "Maybe because this bunker isn't a bunker at all…. I think we're on an aircraft" Donatello told.

Suddenly the ship accelerated so quick that the guys flew against the ceiling. For a while they were glued on it but then the ship slowed down and they were freed. But there was no gravity. "I think this might be my punishment for not listening your and Splinter's nagging about drinking…" Raph said holding one hand on his mouth, one on his stomach.

Meanwhile Don had flown closer the window and looked out. "Wow… Guys, check this out" he gasped. Mikey flew closer and looked out. "We're… In space?!" Mikey yelled. Suddenly Don heard a small cracking sound. Fearing the worst he yelled: "Quickly. get as far from the window as you can"

He and Mikey dashed away, not a moment too soon. The window had started to break down and was sucking everything inside the room in space. The boys grabbed on the largest metal box but it also was getting sucked away. "Guys, we can block the hole with this" Leonardo told. They turned the box around so that it would block the hole. The box was crushed and filled the gap. The force sucking them out space had stopped but…

"It's… Hard to… Breath…." Mikey said. "Save… Your… Breath…" Leonardo told. "But how?" Mikey asked. "Save…Your..Breath" Leonardo repeated. "But ho… Oh…" Mikey said and remembered a technique their master had taught them. They landed on the ground and sat on the lotus position. Then they started to breathe slowly and fell in trance.
