April walked into the common room, spotting the four turtle hybrids and the lamia, who were all getting ready to head topside.
"Hey April, do you need something topside?" Donnie asked, unaware of his brothers' gaze.
April shook her head, "I'm all good. I'm just checking on you."
Mikey snickered and was standing beside Donnie in a flash, "Just him?" He asked coyly.
April blushed, "No…I mean…Yes…What I meant was…I came to check on all of you."
"We're going to be fine. We just need to resupply our foods then we'll be back in no time." Donnie said, tightening his belt bag around his waist.
"Come on, Donnie. Let's move." Leo called as he, Mikey, Raph, and Miwa waited at the lair's entrance.
"See you later." Donnie grinned as he bid the redhead goodbye.
"See you."
Donnie ran up to his brothers as the five of them immediately went topside.
Mikey leaned to Donnie's side and grinned, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G." The cheerful turtle sang once they were far away from the lair.
Raph, Leo, and Miwa stifled a laugh at the sight of the vampire hybrid's flustered face, who made no attempt in stopping or scolding his younger brother.
"That should do it." Donnie said, putting a blood bag on his bag. He turned to Mikey, who was anxiously waiting for him, "Come on, Mikey. Let's go." He rummaged his belt bag until he got hold of several gold coins then placing it on a neat stack atop the counter.
"Coming!" Mikey cheerfully complied, following Donnie outside. "Are we going to get pizza now?" The freckled turtle hybrid's eyes sparkled in excitement.
The bloodsucking hybrid grinned, "Yes. Yes. Come on." Donnie made his way to the nearest fire escape.
"Yes!" Mikey exclaimed in delight, running up to his brother immediately.
The two brothers jumped from rooftop to rooftop, heading to Antonio's for a pizza. In just a few minutes, they were standing in front of Antonio's and Donnie was picking the lock.
"After you." Donnie grinned as he gestured for Mikey to enter the pizzeria.
Mikey smiled widely, "Pizza, here I come!" He entered excitedly as his older brother followed close behind him.
From an alley across the street, a foot clan ninja hid on the shadow. He reached for his phone and said, "Boss, he's here." He waited for a response from the other side of the line. "Copy that. We'll proceed as you wish."
"Are you done, Mikey?" Donnie inquired as he sat at a chair, his elbow resting at the table.
Mikey exclaimed, "I'm done!" He held three boxes of pizza and a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Great. Let's go home."
"Let me leave the payment, bro." The youngest turtle hybrid pointed out, leaving the gold coins at the counter near the cash register. "I'm good to go, D."
"All right." Donnie stood from the chair and opened the door, Mikey following behind. "Com-" He paused as they were surrounded by several foot ninjas.
Kurayami made his way from the back of crowd of foot clan, standing in front of Donnie. "Where's the girl?" He asked, his voice laced with venom.
"Girl? Who?" Donnie asked, acting clueless.
Mikey quipped, "Dude, I think he means: April." He gulped in fear and regret as his immediate older brother glared at him.
"Yes, April. Tell me where April O' Neil is."
Despite the mask, Donnie could tell that the man had a sickening grin on his face. Donnie chuckled, "We refuse to disclose that information."
"Then you shall die!" Kurayami gritted his teeth, commanding his ninja army to attack.
"All right, fearless. We're good to go." Raph smirked as he carried the meat on his shoulder.
"Let me call, Donnie." Leo dialed Donnie's number, waiting for an answer as Raph left the payment at the counter. Having no answer, he rolled his eyes and dialed the third oldest again, "Come on, Donnie, pick up."
"That's very unlikely of him not to answer." Miwa raised a brow, crossing her arms.
Leo groaned as he waited but there was still no response. He pocketed his phone and turned to his brother and girlfriend, "Let's just check on them." He walked away from the store while Raph smirked and shook his head.
"They are so in trouble."
"And so getting a lecture." Miwa added with a coy smirk of her own.
"Let's check Antonio's first." The turtle-mummy hybrid instructed.
The three of them made their way to the nearest fire escape and jumped from rooftop to rooftop. As they were getting closer, Raph picked up something with his heightened sense of hearing.
Raph growled, turning to Leo, "Let's hurry!"
"Wha-? Raph!" Leo exclaimed, surprised by Raph's sudden increased pace.
Raph jumped from the rooftop and into the ground. Letting his instincts take over, he swiped his tail and pushed the ninjas that were closing in on his brothers.
Leo jumped from the rooftop as well, landing on the ground with a small thud. He took a defensive stance and neared himself close to his brothers.
Kurayami snarled under the mask, he snapped his fingers, prompting his army to retreat. He held out a smoke bomb and threw it on the ground, shrouding the area in smoke.
Once the smoke cleared, the foot clan was nowhere to be seen. Raph growled, "That's right. Don't even think of coming back!"
Miwa took the chance and jumped from the rooftop, making her way to the four brothers, "They're ninjas from the foot clan, aren't they?" Her face scrunched up in confusion and doubt.
"Yes. No doubt." Leo replied. He turned to his youngest brothers, his face softening. "Are you two, all right?"
"We're fine." Donnie replied for the both of them, Mikey nodding from the side. "We've got a bigger problem though."
"So, I'm like one of the most wanted criminal of the foot clan?" April asked.
"They're literally looking for you. He even knows your name." Donnie confirmed.
"Must have done their own research." Raph shrugged.
"It's important that you stay here, April. One wrong move and you're done for." Leo reminded her, trying to secure her safety.
April nodded, "I understand."
Irma walked down the streets, making her way home and humming to the familiar song from her headset. The street lamps lit her path, few people were around at the late hour. Unbeknownst to the evil lurking around and has set its sight on her.
She crossed the street, not before looking for incoming vehicles that may come her way. It happened in a flash, the bespectacled girl was struggling as she was drugged to sleep with a handkerchief that covered her lower face. Her actions slowed and stopped; she collapsed on the arm of the foot ninja.
Kurayami hopped out of the van and commanded the foot ninja to bring the girl with them. The foot ninja complied, throwing the girl on his shoulder and carrying her. He threw the helpless and unconscious bespectacled girl into the back of the van.
Irma slowly opened her eyes, only to squint as the light blinded her.
"Glad to see you awake."
Having adjusted to the light, she turned and looked for the source of the voice only to find a P.A. system on the upper corner of the wall.
"Who the hell are you?" Irma snarled, covering her fear with anger.
"That is not important right now…I am willing to let you go if you cooperate." The voice pressed on, having heard no complaints from the girl, "Tell me where your friend, April O' Neil, is."
Irma muttered under her breath, "Why does everyone keep asking me that?" In a much louder voice, she replied, "I don't know where she is." The short raven haired girl flinched as she heard a loud thud from the speaker, no doubt coming from something getting punched at.
"Your stubbornness will get you nowhere, woman!"
"Do I have to spell it out to you?" Irma hissed in anger and frustration. "I. Don't. Know!"
"Very well. We shall retrieve the information one way or another."
The metallic door opened behind the bespectacled lady, who gasped in surprise, seeing a muscular built man.
The voice spoke again, "Take her to Stockman."
Irma struggled against the man who held her arms tight. "Let go of me!" She used all the force she could, trying to free herself from the man. "F*** you! Let go!"
The voice declared, "If she couldn't tell us where April O' Neil is, we'll just have to find something else she could be useful for."
