Chapter 35 -Arrival-

"Are you ok, Mikey?"

"No."

"He does look at little greener dan usual…"

"I believe Michelangelo is suffering the effects of air sickness, brought on by our travel at great altitude, Raphael."

"Yeah, Dude. And the height didn't help either," said Michelangelo weakly.

"The coast must be clear by now," said Leonardo. "We landed half an hour ago. I'll open the door."

"Yes. Perhaps the fresh air will be helpful to your brother," said Splinter calmly as Michelangelo retched.

"Mikey, I swear, if you puke on me," warned Raphael.

Leonardo slipped a lever on the inside of the door up, carefully opening the hatch a scant inch. A slight breeze blew in, carrying the fresh, crisp scent of the jungle.

Leonardo didn't turn as he heard an unmistakable sound from Michelangelo, and a yell of anger and disgust from Raphael. He peered anxiously through the crack, but all he could see was jungle. The plane was parked with the cargo hatch facing the growth flanking the air strip. Leonardo carefully released the door, allowing it to swing open.

"Let's get outta here. Mikey barfed all over the floor," said Raphael, joining Leonardo at the hatch.

"Quiet, Raph," warned Leonardo. "We don't know if anyone's around."

"Only one way to find out," answered his brother, jumping to the ground. Leonardo followed, shaking his head. His brother might be rushing into things, again, but Leonardo wasn't about to let him do it alone.

He scanned the area around the plane, but the airfield was deserted.

"It's clear, Master Splinter, Michelangelo," called Leonardo softly.

Splinter landed lightly beside Leonardo, hardly bending the grass under his claws. Michelangelo tumbled out of the plane less gracefully, but landed on his feet.

"Dudes, there is no way we're goin' back in that space on the return trip," he whispered. "It stinks."

"Who's fault da ya suppose that is, Mikey," growled Raph.

"I can't help it if I get airsick," complained Michelangelo. "Dude! Lookit the size a that bug!"

"Bug? Where?" Raphael danced back, his sai swinging wildly through the air.

"There. Aww look, it's all green an' it has a tail!"

"Dat ain't no bug, Mikey, ya bonehead! It's a lizard."

"Oh yeah."

"Come on, you two, quit goofing around," said Leonardo. "We've got to get out of sight. Who knows what kind of surveillance this guy has."

"We've gotta find Donnie, Leo."

"We will, Mikey. Don't worry. We will."
