A.N: Um well…today's episode…..*sobs in a corner*. Well, at least this will be a good addition to this story. So today's chapter we're getting into Alien Agenda episode.

Ericaphoenix16: Yo! That new episode, right?

Beawolf's Pen: There is more to Pete then bread, I know it. Karai, your soft is showing

AyumiKoneko: Don't worry, I believe you. Also, maybe I don't have tomake it a turtle pov because it's mostly third person, but I can sneak in some of their opinions of things. Especially the next few chapter that we have the turtle brothers together with Karai. It's ok, I like opinions

Dramatic person: No worries. Take your time. I'm glad how you like the character development

I don't own TMNT

CHAPTER 25

One night, Fillien and Pete were practicing flying over city block. Thanks to Pete, Fillien had gotten used to flying for a long period of time. On the other hand, she still needed to work on distance. Pete, who was flying in front of Fillien, called out, "Let's land down there." Fillien nodded and they both landed on the roof of some business building. Pete ruffled his wings and said, "Boy, what a flight! I haven't had fun on nights like these since I left my nest."

"You miss having company." Fillien sort of asked.

"Eh, don't make me sound soft. On the streets I have to be tough."

Fillien rolled her eyes. "You sound like my friend back at the hideout."

"Well, at least we're not annoying, right? Anyway, I think we should come up with a new schedule for our flight lessons. See, winter is coming and food is scarcer for me. We should try meeting up every other night. We'll continue with learning how to fly but you just need to…." Whatever he said next didn't pass Fillien's ears. Another sound distracted her from Pete. She looked around the street until she saw, running down an alley across the street, were the four mutant turtles. Even though they stayed in the shadows, Fillien could see with her feline eyes where they were.

"Fillien, are you listening?"

"What? Oh, no sorry. I got distracted with something."

"Like what?" Pete said, trying to look at what she was looking. Fillien thanked the heavens for Pete's poor night vision. He wouldn't see the turtles from the roof they were on.

"It's nothing." She said.

"You heard me about the schedule right?"

"Yeah, I know but…I thought bread was enough."

"I appreciate the pay, Fillien, I do. But in truth, it's not enough for a grown bird like me."

"Then why do you save it?"

"What?"

"The past few days I gave you bread, you've been saving it instead of gobbling it down. Why?"

"Oh it's just-" The sound of tin cans was heard in the distance. Fillien knew that Karai had been searching long and hard for the turtles, and now that Fillien knew where they were…. "Look, Pete, I have to go. I remembered that I had to um….do a favor for a friend. But before I go, I want to know what you want to with the time of the lessons."

"I need to take some time to scavenge….But! I don't want to drop the lesson either. Like I said, I miss nights like these. We'll meet every other night. Now how is that?"

"I think that sounds good." She looked to where the turtles had been and she saw they had vanished. "Ok, Pete, I really have to go. Sorry to cut the lesson short today." As Fillien flew off, Pete yelled, "No worries, kid!"

Karai was gathering a group for patrol at the entrance of the hideout when suddenly, Fillien burst through the entrance doors. She skidded in front of the group and said to Karai between tired pants. "Turtles…..down south….near the business area…."

Karai smiled. Finally, after weeks of searching for Leonardo, she finally has a chance to take him down. She kneeled in front of Fillien and said, "Are you too tired to help me fight the turtles?"

"What? No way? The night is young…..wait a minute are you asking me to go on a patrol with you?"

"Yes." Karai said standing up, "And you lead the way." Fillien jumped a bit in the air. Yes, things were looking up again.

Through the run on the roofs, Karai took the lead on foot with a few soldiers following behind her. Karai looked up every once in a while to see Fillien flying over them. She was surprisingly getting better at staying up longer. She would glide and then give herself a few flaps to stay up in the air. When she needed to landed, she would put her back feet down and go straight into a run. Then as they jumped another block, Fillien would fly again.

Fillien landed on the edge of a building and looked around, recognizing that this was where she spotted the turtles. She looked back and saw as Karai and her group finally caught up to the mutant cat. Fillien nodded to Karai, confirming they were in the right place. Karai nodded and turned back to the rest of the group, "The turtles have been spotted in this neighborhood, so stay alert for any sign of them." The sound of shots being fired interrupted her orders and she turned to look down at an alley bellow when she heard someone scream, "Booyakasha!"

"Found them." Fillien said as she looked over the edge. The other Foot got ready to jump and take them down but Karai held her hand up. She made her way to the edge and stood next to Fillien as she watched the fight below. Karai saw the turtle brothers fighting off some guys who were shooting at them with lazar guns. But as Karai looked closer she realized this weren't regular people.

"They're fighting robots?" Karai asked. Silver machines in the form of a person were shooting at the turtles but were easily being taken down. Karai, not wanting to blow her cover yet, held up her hand to signal to stay put, even though she could hear her patrol getting all restless to fight. She looked down at one robot that lay armless on the floor after being cut down by Leonardo. Suddenly, crawling out from the chest came a pink, slimy, brain looking creature. It gave a screech and then ran away. Karai's eyes widened, "Whoa, this town is more interesting than I thought."

"And you said you would be bored to death." Fillien said. Karai rolled her eyes and stepped on Fillien's tail. The feline gave a tiny yelp and held her tail in pain. Then she saw her friends eyes narrow at something below, so Fillien looked down and saw Karai make eye contact with Leonardo. He then turned and went back to the fight, taking more of those robots down then he did before. Fillien grinned and whispered so only Karai could hear, "Like what you see?" The Kunoichi tried to step on her tail again but the mutant cat moved it to the side before she could touch it. Karai looked back down and watched as Leonardo took down two more robots and then jump out of the way and put his twin katana's back in their sheath. Karai saw as the blue cladded turtle looked at her and she raised an eyebrow. Not wanting to be spotted by the others, Karai signal for her troops to leave.

"What about the turtles?" asked one soldier.

"We need to report to the Shredder of what we saw. We'll deal with the turtles soon." And the rest of the way back was quiet.

When they got to the hideout, Karai and Fillien waited outside to let the patrol go in. Instead of following after them, they made their way to the side of the building where there was a fire escape for them to jump up and climb to the top. Karai went first, jumping from level to level. Fillien flew up, struggling as she went up higher and higher. Her flapping made so much noise that it annoyed Karai and the kunoichi turned around to the cat now flying eye level. She said, "Shhh! Could your flying be any louder?"

"Sorry, I'm still learning how to fly, cut me some. I haven't learned the art of silent flight yet." Fillien flew higher until she finally got to the edge of the roof by a stained glass window.

Karai jumped up next to her and said, "Well, can this Pete guy just make the lesson faster. You're starting to fall farther behind on patrols then you did before." Karai walked around her to turn the corner to the front of the church.

Fillien followed behind, saying, "Hey, I've been doing pretty well if I do say so myself. Besides, Pete's busy most of the time picking scraps. He's got to make a living somehow." They heard the sound of laughter inside. Wanting to know who it was, the two girls went to the front of the building where at the crack in the window was. They both crawled into the space of the broken window and then sat on the rim of the wall. They looked down and saw Bradford sitting on the stone steps next to Xever who was laying on the ground. He lay upside down with metal feet attached to him dangling in the air. "Hey look, Xever, Bradford, and Baxter are back." Fillien said. Since the rat incident, Xever and Bradford had been at Baxter's hidden science lab. Baxter did say he was taking measurements, but it looks like he did more than that.

Karai eyed the contraption that was supposed to make Xever walk. "Metal feet? Must be a new invention of Baxter's." Karai looked in the middle of the stone path seeing Shredder was chewing out Baxter Stockman on his error and was threatening his life, like that wasn't normal. "Looks also like the invention didn't work."

The lecture from Shredder started to sound like he was about to hit a boiling point. Baxter just stood there with his knees shaking. "Âme malheureuse Mauvais" (Poor unfortunate soul) Fillien muttered, "Better get in there before the guy loses his head, literally."

"Whatever." Karai and Fillien got up from their sitting positions and jumped off. Karai landed gracefully on her feet and Fillien glided down and landed next to her, ruffling her wings before folding them back in.

"Father." Karai began, taking off her mouth mask and walking up to the Shredder. "We saw the turtles fighting some guys in suites. But they were actually slimy brain squids in robot bodies."

Fillien muttered to herself, "I wonder if she knows how nouille (dumb) she sounds just saying that?"

"Your mission," The Shredder said, "Is to destroy them and find Splinter. Everything else is a distraction."

"A distraction?" Karai was surprised. Did he not think that these….things….could be a threat to them? "Father, don't you want to know what's going on? Robots and creatures. Splinter's disciples are turtles, mutants. Your own men got turned into hideous freaks! No offense." She whispered the last part to Fillien.

"None taken."

Karai looked back at her father, arms crossed, "Don't you think we should be finding out what's going on? I mean there is more to life than your vendetta."

"There is nothing more!" The Shredder said angrily. Then he looked down at Fillien who was sitting down, hunched over. The cat looked up at his face and got the message quickly. She trotted passed him quickly and went towards the other mutants in the room. Fillien sat down at the foot of the steps and watched as The Shredder circled around Karai saying, "Have you forgotten what Hamato Yoshi did to me, to us. Every day that Splinter lives' is a stain on our honor that we must wipe clean."

"So, how's the flying going?" Fillien turned to Xever who was smirking at her. Bradford began to snicker at the remark.

Fillien scowled. Clearly he hadn't seen how good she had gotten on flying since Pete had become her teacher. Well, she didn't want to let him know yet, so all she said to the fish man was, "So, how's the walking going?"

Bradford heard this and burst into laughter. Xever tried to reach out to somehow grab Fillien but all she had to do was step aside to be out of arm's reach. Then they heard Karai yell out, "Fillien." The mutant girl turned and ran to her friend, passing the Shredder who she could feel his eyes bore into her pelt. Once the two girls left the Great Hall and made their downstairs, Fillien said, "So what now, your dad doesn't care about those weird robots we saw, so how are you going to approach this?"

"How did you know I was still going to go find out myself?"

"It's just you have a knack for doing that sort of stuff now a days. Your dad says one thing and you do the exact opposite. Why do you want to fight these things?"

"It's not like I'm going to go fight them. I'm just going to find out from a person who might have more information on them."

"Who?"

"I don't know." Karai and Fillien went to their dorm room and the first thing that cat girl did was jump on their bed. She laid down on her belly like a cat and relaxed at the foot of the bed. Karai went into the bathroom to get changed for bed. As she did, Fillien continued to converse, "Maybe Sukippi might know. Heck, maybe even Bradford and Xever."

From behind the bathroom door Karai called out, "If they knew they would have said something to Father by now. I was thinking maybe someone who lives in New York that knows them."

"Like a normal civilian."

"Maybe. Or maybe not. People would have told the media about them."

"What about not people? What about people like the turtles? Maybe Pete might now about them, he goes out at night."

Karai came out of the bathroom in a hurry, thankfully fully dressed already in her night wear. "That's it!"

"What?"

"Leonardo. He might know."

Fillien said to Karai in an obvious tone, "Um, you know, you got to finish him off sooner or later."

"I choose later." Karai said. She went up to her mirror in the bathroom and began to wipe off her makeup. As she did, she said, "I'll go out tomorrow night while you're at your flying lesson and find out from Leonardo."

"If you can find him."

"I'm pretty sure I will."

"Yeah," Fillien laid her head on her paws and said sarcastically, "Because even though you search a whole week for Leonardo, I managed to find him and his brothers."

A wash cloth came flying out of the bathroom and landed on Fillien's face. The cat girl's head went up and she shook her head to get the towel off. When it fell to the floor, she looked up at Karai who was still in the bathroom, looking straight at the mirror. As if she didn't throw the washcloth at Fillien's face. Fillien grunted and laid her head back on her paws.
