Here begins the new day for Eartha and Ringo

As Eartha and Ringo made their way back out of the hole, the Mutant Cubs were all looking around the hole, listening to the sounds coming from it.

When Eartha poked her nose out of the hole, Her nose touched Zeb's nose and the Mole-Girl and Mutant Zebra Filly looked at each other for a few moments.

"What are you two doing?" Came Ichabod's sleepy voice

"We found a hole in the floor." Eartha said as she climbed out of the hole with Ringo "We found some water that we splashed on our faces to heal our faces to heal our wounds."

"Did you find anything else down there?" Ichabod asked "Like a potential way out?"

"There was just a hole in the ground." Eartha said "There was no way out except the way we came in."

"Good." Ichabod said "Now, out, out, out. I need that room."

As all the Animals got out of the Lavatory, Ichabod went in and closed the door.

They could not only smell what he was doing in there, but there noses could detect to distinct aromas of what he ate yesterday.

Eartha rubbed her stomach as it rumbled, neither of them had any food for hours "Why don't Humans utilize their manure for fertilizing plants?"

"Not a good idea." Ichabod said from the other side of the door "Humans have done that in the past and we found out that's a really good way to spread disease."

"Hmm." Eartha said "When I fertilized my plants with everyone else's manure no one became ill."

"Two things." Ichabod said "You were all different species there seems to be a thing about human manure that will spread our own germs if we fertilize with our own feces, also everyone was a strict vegetarian. The experts say you shouldn't fertilize with the droppings of carnivores that's why we also don't fertilize with dog or cat droppings."

Afterwards, they all went outside to meet everyone else for breakfast.

Eartha and Ringo went straight over to Leonardo and sat down in front of him "We went down into a hole." She said "Found some water that healed our wounds, after spending the night down in the hole we realized that we should be working with you...Like we were supposed to...When we met Black Creature he scared us, reminded us of our own deaths and we were torn between our fear and our wishes for something better."

Leo smiled, "I think that's what we all suspected what happened." He said "If you can prove you are trustworthy...You can have the jar back."

That was when the two felt their stomachs rumble again.

"Feeling hungry?" Leo asked sympathetically

"Thirsty too." Said Ringo.

Leo reached into the cooler and gave both of them a bottle of water, both drank deeply.

Leo looked in the cooler and saw there were some meats in the cooler, Leo didn't want the two of them to see the meat especially after they came to this point, so Leo reached in, grabbed a large Fuji apple and tossed it to Eartha.

Eartha ravenously devoured the apple, after having only crab grass roots yesterday, the apple was the sweetest thing she had had in a while.

When the apple was only a core left, Eartha wiped her mouth and said "We know what we must do."

Everyone stopped and looked at the two of them.

"There is a place we need to take you." Eartha "The place where the Insects have begun growing the plants to spread all over the Earth, this place is called New Eden."

Raph clutched his temples "Bugs..." He mumbled "We're gonna be heading to the land of giant bugs."

Olive wrapped her arm around her Turtle-Beau and purred to calm him down

"All right." Leo said "Take us there then."

Eartha and Ringo led the Heroes toward the scent of pollen. As the two led the way, Eartha looked over to Ringo and saw he was holding his head down

"Kek-Kek" Eartha asked in Animal Language which means 'Something on your mind?'

"Hiss-Sss" Ringo replied 'I'm still a bit wary about Humans'

"Kik-Kik" Eartha asked 'Why are you agreeing to this then?'

"Hiss-Suss….Siss..." Ringo said 'I've find my happiness...The Black Mamba...I want her to like me'

Meanwhile Doctor Rat knew that Giant Insects were replanting in the nearby wilderness, He had no idea where they had come from but when he tried to send poisonous slime monsters to kill them, the slimes kept mysteriously dying as they reached the refurbished land, So far the only thing Doctor Rat could think of to try to solve this was to make slime monsters that were even more toxic in hopes they would be able to destroy that impenetrable barrier of grass.

As he mixed in some infectious diphtheria into his new batch of slime monsters. He a Man came into the Lab yelling "Sir! There's been a break! One of the Creatures have escaped..."

Not in the mood to be disturbed at this hour, Doctor Rat stuck his tail needle into the man and absorbed/devoured him. The Man wasn't anyone important, he was just a forklift operator. No one would miss this one.

"Can't anyone see this is a very delicate operation." Doctor Rat mumbled as he pushed the buttons and pulled the levers that controlled the machines in the vacuum sealed chambers where the Slime Monsters were being created.

Just needed to write a chapter where Turtles actually appear
