A/N: Please read and review?
In the city, Raph runs down a street, as an angry mob with flashlights and Triceraton blasters chase after him, before he turns left into an alley.
Raph: There's an old saying that goes something like, 'The more things change, the more they stay the same.'
He turns right down the alley as he kept running, as the mob chases after him.
"He went right-!" one yelled.
Raph turns around slightly as he keeps running.
You'd think that after the...
Places all over the city lie in ruins from the Triceraton invasion.
..city had been torn to pieces by warring aliens from outer space...
A man stands at the end of the alley, shining a flashlight down it, as more people run towards him.
..that maybe people would be a little more open-minded about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...
Raph keeps running down the alley, but stops when he gets to a dead end.
..living in their own back yard.
"I see him!" a man yells, running down the alley.
Think again.
"Over here! That freaky alien! He's over here!" a man yells.
"Let's tear him to pieces!" another yells.
The mob all roars loudly, as stares down the alley.
"Come on!" one roars.
"Give him-" another said.
"Get him!" a third roars.
"Let's go!" a fourth said.
Raph backs towards the end of the alley, then takes out his Sais and twirls then around.
Ain't it nice to see that some things never change?
In the lair, Donnie stood by some wires near the TVs, as Leatherhead stood near him.
"Now the red one." Leatherhead said.
Donnie picked up both halves of the wire.
"Careful...careful..." Leatherhead said, as Donnie connected them. "Good. Now the blue one."
Donnie connected both halves of it, then the TVs came on fuzzy.
"Aha. Good, it's working." Leatherhead said.
He turned to the screens as Donnie pressed buttons on one, when Mikey came running over with a TV antenna made of paper.
"Here, Leatherhead, wear this for a minute?" Mikey asked.
He jumped up and put it on Leatherhead's head, just as Cath showed up and ran towards them.
"Huh?" Leatherhead asked.
Cath stopped and turned to Mikey, as did Donnie.
"Mikey, what are you doing?" Cath asked.
Mikey back flipped towards the couch and sat on it.
"Trying to get some TV reception." he answered, putting his hands behind his back.
"If you wait a minute, we'll have the whole new computerised communications array up and running." Donnie explained.
"I don't want TV in a minute." Mikey said. "I want it now."
"You ever heard the phase 'patience is a virtue'?" Cath asked annoyed.
"No." Mikey said.
"Well, look, we are in the middle of a very delicate procedure here." Donnie said, turning around.
He turned around and began to work on the screens.
"So am I. Leatherhead, lean to the right?" Mikey asked.
Leatherhead leaned to his right.
"No, to the left." Mikey corrected.
"Oh, boy..." Cath muttered.
Leatherhead leaned to his left.
"Little more...wait?" Mikey said, as one of the screens came on, showing a news report. "Don't move. We got something!"
Leatherhead moved slightly to see, as Cath turned around and stared at the screen.
"A short time has passed since the mind-blogging alien invasion, but New York is already getting back on its feet." the reporter explained.
Elisa came over towards everyone, as the screen showed a ruined street, including a wrecked Triceraton Starfighter.
"I see you finally got the TVs working." she noted.
"Not quite, sis." Cath said. "Just that one thanks to Mikey's impatience."
"City wide clean up efforts will take time." the reporter explained.
(The city)
People ran to and from the starfighter, as two trucks were parked nearby.
"Police are urging citizens to not touch anything." the reporter continued.
Inside a wrecked building, a man hits the ground with a pick-axe, as another carries a blanket over his shoulder, while a third lifts something up, and then puts it down. A fourth comes over with a set of pipes over his shoulder, as a fifth holds a Triceraton blaster.
"There's still a lot of live alien ordnance out there."
Down the street, the Justice Force was helping with the clean up. Ananda directed her Domeiods to lift some debris up, as Tsunami lifted up a large part.
"And some good news..."
Metalhead lifted some up with his long hair, as Chrysalis lifted some up with her mind powers, before throwing them away.
"..the Justice Force is back in action..."
Ananda lifted a large piece up while sitting in the large Domeiod, before throwing it away.
"..helping clean up crews all over the city."
Silver Sentry lifted up a large piece of rubble and held it above him.
(The lair)
"Hey, it's my pal, Silver Sentry." Mikey said, pointing at the screen. "You go, super dude. You-"
Leatherhead moved slightly, cutting off the signal.
"I see what you mean." Elisa whispered.
Cath nodded.
"Aw. They were just getting to the best part." Mikey complained. "Smooth move, Leather-dork."
Leatherhead growled while turning to him.
"Oh, boy..." Elisa muttered. "He didn't annoy him did he?"
"He did." Cath mumbled.
Leatherhead's eyes went angry, then he turned around and roared, while taking the antenna off his head, then crumbled it up and threw it to the floor. He growled as the four Turtles stared at him, before Cath touched his arm.
"Easy there, Leatherhead." she said. "Clam down, big guy. Don't listen to him."
"Yeah. Mikey makes everybody crazy." Donnie explained.
"Since he's the youngest and the goofiest." Elisa added.
"It's also his secret Mutant power." Cath said.
Splinter came out of his room on the other side of the lair and stared at them all.
"Donatello, have Leonardo and Raphael returned from Miss. O'Neil's?" he asked, walking towards them.
"Not yet, Master Splinter." Donnie explained.
The girls turned to each other.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Casey's there too." Cath whispered.
"Me either." Elisa smirked quietly. "Since he and April are dating now."
"Yeah. And you won the bet, since it took them more than six months." Cath sighed.
Splinter turned to Mikey.
"Come, Michelangelo." he said. "You are only causing trouble here. Donatello and Leatherhead have important work to do."
Mikey flinched while turning to him.
"You and I will inspect the sewer tunnels." Splinter explained, before walking off. "They may have been damaged in the alien attack."
Mikey got up and reluctantly walked after his father.
"Besides, it will give us a change to focus on your training. I am determined to see you establish a mind-body connection..." Splinter added, whacking Mikey twice in the shell with his stick. "..no matter how feeble."
Both girls turned to each other, as Mikey and Splinter walked off out of the lair.
"I think one of us should keep an eye on Mikey, make sure he doesn't try and sneak away." Cath whispered.
"Agreed." Elisa muttered. "Rock, paper, scissors?"
Cath nodded, then they held their fists out. They moved them up three times, then held them out, Cath's still clutched together, while Elisa's was open with her fingers apart.
"Oh, shell..." Elisa mumbled. "Guess I lose."
"Go on, sis." Cath said.
Elisa sighed, then turned and ran after Splinter and Mikey.
"Hey, wait for me?!" she called.
She ran out of the lair and began to catch up with them, making them both turn to her.
"Thought you might need want some more help, Sensei." she said.
"Thank you, Elisabetta." Splinter said.
"Good, then I can-" Mikey began.
"To keep an eye on you, little brother!" Elisa snarled. "Make sure you don't sneak away."
"Aww." Mikey said.
Meanwhile, outside April's - which had its door and shop windows boarded up - stood Leo, Raph and April, as Casey walked towards them with more boards. Raph and Leo both put a board over the boarded door, then they both hammered nails into it.
"Well, that's got it covered." Leo said, as they turned around.
"This'll hold till you get it repaired." Raph assured, turning to April.
April ignored him however and stared at Casey.
"Thank you so much, Casey." she said. "I feel so much better now."
"Aw, you know, anything for you, April." Casey said.
April stared at him lovingly, shocking the two Turtles.
"Hey, what are we?" Raph inquired. "Vegetarian chopped liver?"
"Ah, come on, Raph." Leo said, as he turned and walked off. "I think it's time for us to go."
Raph followed after him, as the lovebirds stared at each other.
"I did more work than he did, you know." Raph complained.
They both climbed up a ladder towards a rooftop, then once on it, walked along it.
"Hey, Leo, race ya home?" Raph dared, running towards him. "Unless you're afraid I'll beat ya like last time."
Leo scoffed. "Raph, the only thing I'm afraid of is your faulty memory." he joked, before running off. "I won last time."
Raph gritted his teeth and chased after him.
"And looks like I'm gonna have to do it again Mr. I can't admit defeat." Leo teased.
Raph got in front of him and turned to him while running backwards.
"Keep dreaming, bro." he scoffed, before he turned and jumped off the roof. "I'll meet ya back at the lair!"
Leo jumped off the rooftop and chased after him. They both landed on a rooftop each - Leo landed on his hands - then Raph jumped and rolled along another, as Leo flipped forward and landed near Raph on his feet. Raph somersaulted forward to the edge of it, as Leo jumped, grabbed a pipe and swung around it, before they both jumped and dived away from the roof.
Down in the sewers, Splinter, Elisa and Mikey walked down a tunnel, seeing some rubble lying in the water.
"Hmm? Many side-tunnels collapsed or flooded." Splinter noted. "It is worse than I feared."
"Yep. Tunnel's in sad shape." Mikey agreed.
"You've got a point there." Elisa admitted.
Mikey then turned around.
"Well, let's head home." he said, as he began to walk off.
Elisa turned and grabbed his arm.
"I don't think, Michelangelo!" she snarled.
"Yes, focus Michelangelo." Splinter said.
Elisa pulled Mikey forward so he ended up in front of them.
"Focus on the task at hand." Splinter said sternly, as they walked on.
They walked on down the tunnel, before Splinter sighed.
"Master Splinter, what's wrong?" Elisa asked, as they stopped.
"My son, physically you have a natural affinity for the martial arts." Splinter said, before pointing at his head. "But mentally, your mind is undisciplined and unruly."
He whacked Mikey gently on the head with his stick three times.
"I'm a teenager, Sensei." Mikey reasoned. "Undisciplined and unruly are what we do best."
"Um, Mikey, we're all teenagers." Elisa argued. "But you don't see the rest of us acting like you all the time."
"And you are also a ninja." Splinter said. "You must learn to use your mind more, and your mouth less."
He turned around as all three of them continued down the tunnel. They jumped over a large pipe lying in front of them - first Splinter, then Elisa, then Mikey - then they carried on walking.
They soon turned left down a tunnel, but then stopped when they saw a massive cave-in near a ladder leading to the surface.
"Whoa. Looks like another dead end." Mikey said.
"A very big one." Elisa noted.
"I was hoping to learn if the tunnels leading to the Subway are still intact." Splinter said, before staring at the ladder. "We will have to surface for a short distance."
"Wahoo!" Mikey whooped, waving his hands up, before pointing up with his thumbs. "Hitting the surface."
He grinned as Splinter frowned, while Elisa rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"A very short distance." Splinter said sternly.
Mikey's grin faded.
"We will re-enter the sewers one block to the West." Splinter explained, walking off.
"Sorry, bro." Elisa teased, following their father.
"Very funny." Mikey said annoyed.
Later, Splinter climbed up the ladder, lifted up and moved the cover away, before he climbed out of the sewers and into an alley. Elisa then climbed out after him, followed by Mikey, then they all ran forward and hid behind a box each. They then all ran into the street, then turned left and ran down it in the darkness of the night.
Unknown to them all, a man in a white suit, with long black hair tied in a long ponytail, was watching them though heat-vison goggles on a pair of binoculars with a handle.
"Well, well, well..." he said, lowering them. "..pay dirt, Mr. Touch."
He put the binoculars away, then turned around to Mr. Touch, who had red hair, was dressed in purple, and was more muscular than him.
"It's the rat, and two of his brood coming out of their little hidey hole." the man said.
"Then it would appear, it's time for us to get to work, Mr. Go." Mr. Touch said, punching his fist.
They punched their fists together, creating an energy burst between them, before they pulled apart. Mr. Go turned around, then somersaulted forward off the rooftop, landing on a fire escape's railing. He walked along it, then hopped onto the fire escape, as Mr. Touch landed behind him on it, then they both stared down at the street, as Splinter, Elisa and Mikey all kept running down it.
A little later, the three Mutants stopped running, then hid in the shadows near an alley. They then ran past the alley, then stopped by another, before turning left and ran down it. They stopped near a manhole cover, then Splinter lifted it up with his walking stick, but then he turned around suspiciously.
"Huh?" he said.
"Master Splinter, what is it?" Mikey asked.
"Sensei, what's wrong?" Elisa asked.
Splinter sniffed the air while looking around.
"Something is following us." he explained. "Quickly, let us get underground."
"Ladies first." Elisa said, as she jumped into the sewers.
Mikey jumped, flipped forward and then dived after her. Splinter then climbed in, grabbed the manhole cover and put it back over the entrance, before he climbed after his children.
Mr. Go and Mr. Touch poked their heads out from the alley and stared a the manhole cover. They both walked towards it, then Mr. Touch lifted the cover up and threw it away like a frisbee, hitting a wall in front of him.
"After you, Mr. Go." Mr. Touch said.
"Oh. Too kind, Mr. Touch." Mr. Go said.
He somersaulted forward and dived into the sewers. Mr. Touch then began to climb after him, but he was too big to fit in the hole, keeping his arms and upper body out in the city. He pulled himself up, powered up his hands, then pulled the ground open near the entrance, making it big enough to dive in after his partner.
Down in the sewers, Mikey, Elisa and Splinter all walked down a tunnel, as water dripped from the ceiling.
"Master Splinter, I'm hungry." Mikey complained.
"Focus, Michelangelo!" Splinter said sternly. "Please, focus?"
"Yeah, stop thinking about your stomach!" Elisa snarled.
They all looked around as they kept looking around, when Mr. Go showed up behind them.
"But focusing makes me hungry." Mikey reasoned.
"Oh, shut up!" Elisa frowned, elbowing him in the chest.
"Ow!" he yelped.
"Poor Mr. Touch had better catch up, or he's going to miss all the fun." Mr. Go smirked.
He dashed forward at incredible speed towards the Mutants, as they kept walking down the tunnel. Mikey looked around for a minute, before Mr. Go dashed past them in the shadows, making Elisa jump slightly.
"What was that?" she said.
"Ah!" Splinter gasped.
"What the?!" Mikey exclaimed.
Mr. Go dived towards them, then tried to whack them with his stick, but Splinter blocked it with his own. Splinter then blocked a kick from him with it, then sent a whack at him, but he blocked it, then Splinter blocked a punch and then a whack with his stick. He then blocked a chop with his left forearm, then blocked a kick from with his other one, then blocked a kick with the left one.
"Okay, this guy's fast, I'll give him that." Elisa said.
"Won't argue there." Mikey agreed.
Mr. Go jumped up, somersaulted forward and landed behind the Turtles, as they and Splinter turned around. He then spun around to kick Mikey, but missed as he ducked, then he leaned forward to kick Elisa, but missed as she managed to dodge in time. They both then jumped as he spun around to tackle them, but then he whacked Mikey with his stick, sending him flying towards a all.
"AH!" he yelped, before hitting it. "OHH!"
"Mikey!" Elisa gasped.
Mr. Go turned to her, then she ducked as he tried to whack her with his stick, before he kicked her in the side, knocking her into the opposite wall.
"OHH!" she moaned, hitting it.
Splinter blocked two whacks from Mr. Go's stick with his own, then he sent two at Mr. Go, who blocked them both with his staff, then Splinter sent another at him, but he blocked it. Splinter then blocked one from Mr. Go, who then whacked him in the hip hard with his stick.
"AHH!" Splinter groaned.
"Sensei?!" Elisa gasped, looking up.
Mr. Go jumped up, spun around in the air, and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying away slightly, landing on his feet while clutching his hip. Mr. Go then began to whack forward, when Mikey and Elisa both got in front of him twirling their weapons.
"Hold it right there!" Elisa barked.
"Alright, zippy-pants. Let's just see how fast you-" Mikey said.
Mr. Go whacked them both with his stick before Mikey could finish, knocking them against a wall.
"AHH!" they moaned.
"Oh!" Mikey moaned.
They both got up, as Mr. Go charged at them, then he tried to kick them, but missed as Mikey rolled under it, while Elisa jumped over it. Mr. Go then stopped and turned to them, as Elisa landed, before she and Mikey turned to him. He then charged at them, then began to punch them both repeatedly, hitting Elisa with his right fist, Mikey his left.
"OW! OHH!" they moaned.
Mr. Go then kicked Mikey, then punched Elisa in the chest.
"OHH!" they moaned.
Mr. Go began repeatedly punching them again with the same hands, but this time they were softer, just glazing them.
"Uh!" Mikey moaned.
"Ooh!" Elisa moaned.
Mr. Go kept punching them, till he got exhausted.
"Ah!" he groaned.
"Huh?" both Turtles muttered.
They looked down at Mr. Go, then Mikey laughed, then grabbed Mr. Go's fist as he tried to punch him. Elisa then grinned before kicking him in the chest, sending him flying away towards a wall, hitting it.
"AHH! OH!" he moaned.
"All right!" Elisa whooped, high-threeing her brother.
"You said it." Mikey said.
They both approached Mr. Go as he lay against the wall.
"What's the matter, sparky?" Mikey asked, spinning a Nunchuck around. "Dead battery?"
"Or out of juice?" Elisa joked, spinning her Kamas around.
Mikey spun his other Nunchuck over his head, when Mr. Touch showed up and punched him in the chest, knocking him into Elisa, sending them both flying away.
"OH!" they moaned.
Splinter gasped as they went flying right past him.
"WHOA!" they yelled.
They both hit a wooden support beam, before hitting the water on their chests.
"Michelangelo? Elisabetta?!" Splinter gasped, limping towards them.
He grabbed Mikey's arm and helped him up, just as Elisa shook her head and pulled herself up.
"What the shell was that?" she exclaimed, her eyes closed.
She opened them while leaning against Mikey, who opened his, before they all stared at Mr. Touch, his right fist powered up.
"Huh?" Mikey gasped.
"Oh... Am I late, Mr. Go?" Mr. Touch asked.
Mr. Go got up and stood beside him.
"Fashionably, Mr. Touch." he answered.
They hit their fists together, shocking the Mutants.
"Huh?" Mikey muttered.
"What the shell?!" Elisa exclaimed.
Mr's. Touch and Go kept their fists together, before pulling apart, then Mr. Go laughed as they approached the Mutants. Splinter gasped while looking up and around, and saw the tunnel was about to collapse. He jumped and kicked the wooden support, knocking part of it off, before it collapsed, then his two children dived away to avoid some falling debris.
"Huh?" Mr's. Touch and Go gasped, looking up.
They both put their hands behind their heads while looking down at the water, as debris fell from the ceiling towards them both. Dust then settled into the tunnel, then when it vanished, the Mutants saw a cave-in in front of them.
"Ah. What the shell was that all about?" Mikey wondered.
Splinter put his hand over his mouth, then his finger to his lips as he heard something. They all heard a banging noise, seeing some rocks move from the rubble.
"They are breaking through." Splinter said.
"Breaking through?" Mikey questioned.
Splinter tried to pull himself up, but his leg was broken.
"What are these guys; terminators?" Mikey questioned.
"Whoever they are, they're bad news." Elisa realized.
"We must go!" Splinter said, leaning on his walking stick.
Mikey got up and caught him as he nearly fell over.
"Whoa!" Mikey yelped. "I got you, Sensei."
"So have I." Elisa said, helping her father stand up.
They all turned and walked down the tunnel, Splinter wrapping his arms around his children, as the banging noise continued.
In the city, Leo landed on a rooftop and ran along it, then jumped off it, somersaulting forward before he landed on another.
"Come on?!" he called, running along it.
He jumped off it and landed on another, as Raph landed beside him.
"Step it up, snail-boy?!" Leo called, as he jumped away.
Raph ran along the rooftop, then jumped from it and landed on another, before running along it.
"Ah. Leo's kicking my shell!" he moaned, jumping off it.
He landed on another, then ran along it while staring at Leo.
"There's gotta be some way I can..." he said, looking around.
He turned right as Leo jumped out of sight.
"If I cut across Old Alturger Alley..." he said, jumping off the rooftop. "..I'll beat him home in half the time."
He landed on a smaller rooftop, then ran along it.
"No way Leo's gonna beat me now." he said, hopping onto the edge of it.
The edge then gave way however, sending him falling towards the ground between two fire escapes.
"OH, SHEEELLLLLL!" he yelled.
He spun around as he kept falling.
"AHHHH!" he yelled.
He then managed to grab a clothes line, then rolled forwards on it, before he jumped forwards towards the street outside the alley. He grabbed a lamppost, rolled forwards on it, landing in the street crouched down.
"Man, I'm good." he said.
A bunch of men with flashlights and Triceraton blasters spotted him however.
"Hey, come on, guys!" one said. "Let's get him!"
"Let's go!" another said.
"Ah!" Raph gasped, turning to them.
"Follow me, I see him!" a third said.
"Hurry up! Come on!" a fourth said, before he stopped and pointed at Raph. "There he is! There's one of those invading alien scum!"
"What now? Angry villagers?" Raph questioned.
He got up, turned around and ran away.
"..no way out!" one of the men said.
"He's on the move!" the fourth said. "He went off that way!"
"Come on, let's get him!" the second said.
"Yeah!" the others said.
They all began to chase after Raph down the street.
"No one invades our city and gets away with it!" a man yelled.
Raph turned left down an alley.
"Yeah, let's teach him a lesson!" another said angrily.
"Come on!" the fourth said. "Follow me. He went around the corner, let's get him!"
He stopped and stared down the alley as the others came towards him.
"Come on!" he said.
Raph ran down the alley.
"New York, New York, it's a shell of a town." he quoted.
He turned right down the alley and ran off, but then came to a dead end, with only a house door on his right.
"Ah!" he gasped, looking around.
He turned and ran towards the door, then began to pull on it, but it was locked.
"Oh, great!" he groaned sarcastically. "The old Turtle luck, running true to form."
"Where did he go?" one of the men said.
Raph turned back and saw the flashlights coming closer to him.
"I don't know." another man said. "He was just here?"
"Let's go." the first said.
"Come on, he went this way!" a third said.
"Okay." another said.
Raph backed away towards the end of the alley, then took out his Sais.
"If those bozos want a piece of me, they're gonna get a little more than they bargained for." he said, twirling them around.
The mob came down the alley, when the door opened up, getting Raph to turn to it, as an old woman came out.
"Yes." she said.
She stepped out of the door, as Raph hid in the shadows beside it.
"Who's there?" the woman asked.
"Uh, me. I'm Raphael." Raph said.
"Oh, you must be one of Mr. Rosetti's boys." the woman assumed. "I'm Mrs. Morrison. Here, take my hand?"
She held her hand out as Raph stared at her confused.
"I can't see you. I can't see anything." Mrs. Morrison said. "I've been blind for almost a year now."
Raph put his Sais away and touched her hand.
"I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow." Mrs. Morrison said, before she led Raph inside. "Come on in, and I'll show you what to do."
Once inside, the mob showed up by the door.
"Excuse me, ma'am?" a man asked.
Mrs. Morrison turned to them all, as they turned to her.
"You see any strange alien creature run by here?" the man asked.
Mrs. Morrison chuckled. "Don't be silly. There aren't any aliens around here." she said, closing the door.
The mob turned and walked back down the alley.
"AH!" the man moaned. "He must've slipped past us!"
"Maybe he phoned home or something?" another suggested.
"Ah, keep looking!" the first said. "We'll find him."
Meanwhile, Mikey and Elisa had helped their Father into the Subway tunnels, and now stood by a garage door, which Mikey tried to lift up.
"I don't get it!" he said, grunting. "Super strength? Ugh! Ugh! UGHH! Super speed?"
He got up and turned to Elisa and Splinter.
"Sensei, how do we fight those guys?" he asked.
"Focus, my son. Focus your mind, and an opportunity will present itself." Splinter explained, pointing at his head.
"That means we need to use our brains." Elisa deduced.
"I don't think there's gonna be enough time for my brain to kick in." Mikey gulped, pointing ahead. "Here comes the dandy duo now!"
Splinter and Elisa turned around, and saw Mr's. Touch and Go walking towards them.
"Hello again, my friends." Mr. Go said. "Since you will not party with us, we will bring the party to you."
"Some party, where's the music?" Elisa asked sarcastically.
Mr. Touch laughed, before he and Mr. Go banged fists together, before pulling apart. Mr. Go then jumped up, kicked his feet against a support, dived towards another.
"Incoming!" Mikey called.
Mr. Go dived towards the Mutants, landing on a support near them, then jumped and landed in front of them. He then spun around and kicked Mikey in the chest, sending him flying away.
"AHH!" he yelled.
Mr. Go then spun around and punched Elisa in the belly, and then kicked her in the chest, sending her flying towards Mikey.
"AGGHHH!" she yelled.
Mr. Go then spun around and kicked Splinter's broken leg, making him wince while stumbling back.
"NOOO!" he moaned.
Mr. Touch came over to punch Splinter, but missed as he jumped to his right, making him hit the support beam.
Mikey charged at Mr. Go, then tried to whack him with one of his Nunchucks, but missed as he dodged, then dodged another whack, then dodged past a third. He then ducked and spun around as Mikey tried again, before kicking Mikey in the chest, knocking him towards a bench.
"OWW!" he moaned, hitting it hard.
He looked up, just as Mr. Touch punched Elisa in the chest, sending her flying towards him, just missing him by inches.
"OHH!" she moaned, hitting the bench.
"Ellie!" Mikey gasped, turning to her.
He turned to Mr. Touch, then jumped up and dived towards him, trying to whack him with both Nunchucks, but Mr. Touch grabbed them both. He pulled Mikey down to his feet, then kneed him in the chest, before he turned around, then lifted Mikey up and banged him against the floor.
"OHH!" Mikey moaned.
Elisa looked up while shaking her head.
"Little help here?" Mikey asked, as Mr. Touch lifted him up.
Splinter turned to him while dodging a punch from Mr. Go, as Mr. Touch slammed Mikey into the floor.
"WHOA!" he yelped.
"Mikey!" Elisa cried, getting up.
Splinter dodged a punch from Mr. Go, then ducked as he spun around to kick him, before tripping him up with his stick. He then back flipped away, pushed his hands against the ground, as Elisa charged at Mr. Touch. Splinter then back flipped over Mr. Touch, as Elisa skidded to a halt and bent down with her shell up, before Splinter kicked him.
"OHH!" Mr. Touch moaned, stumbling back.
He then fell over Elisa, before Splinter kicked him again, sending him flying away as Mr. Go got up, hitting him, knocking them both away. Splinter heaved himself up while holding his stick, as Mikey and Elisa got up.
"Oh!" Mikey moaned, rubbing his head.
"Oh!" Elisa moaned, rubbing her right arm. "Sensei, you okay?"
"Yes, but my leg's pretty bad." Splinter explained.
"Uh, where's Cath when you need her?" Elisa complained.
"Elisa, did we win yet?" Mikey asked.
"Win?" Mr. Go scoffed.
He laughed as he and Mr. Touch punched their fists together, powering them up.
"You make us laugh, little Turtle man." he joked, as they pulled apart. "We're just getting warmed up."
"Who are these guys?!" Mikey exclaimed.
Meanwhile, in Mrs. Morrison's house, Raph carried a box across the living room towards a pile of them by the door, while a white cat sat on one meowing.
"All those boxes go near the door." Mrs. Morrison explained. "The large trunk as well."
Raph put the box down and turned to her.
"You moving out, Mrs. M?" he inquired.
"Forced out, I'm afraid." Mrs. Morrison explained. "The bank's foreclosing on my mortgage. Since my husband passed, well...the money's mostly gone, and I haven't any other family. All I have is Lucy, my cat."
Lucy jumped down onto the box near Raph while meowing, then it purred near his hand, while he stared at Mrs. Morrison, feeling sorry for her.
In the Subway tunnel, Mr. Touch stared at his partner, who stared at Splinter, Elisa and Mikey.
"Ah, this is going to be more fun than I had hoped, Mr. Touch." Mr. Go said.
"Absolutely, Mr. Go." Mr. Touch agreed, rubbing his knuckles.
Mikey turned to them, as he and Elisa helped Splinter along.
"Aw, touch and go." he joked. "That's cute."
"Not now, Mikey!" Elisa hissed.
"Wait, touch and go?" Mikey questioned, recalling their fist bumping power ups. "I have an idea."
"This is no time for jokes, my son!" Splinter scowled.
"No, really, I have a plan." Mikey assured.
"Oh, really?" Elisa inquired sarcastically.
A noise made them all turn, as a Subway train raced along the track.
"Yes. But first, we need to put some distance between us and the and wonder twins." Mikey explained.
They all turned to Mr. Touch and Mr. Go - who spun his stick around - who marched towards them, before they backed away.
"My son, I am happy you are finally exercising your mind, but-" Splinter said.
He dodged a whack from Mr. Go's stick, while Elisa and Mikey both dodged a punch from Mr. Touch.
"Just follow my lead, Sensei. You too, Elisa." Mikey said.
Mr. Go spun around to kick Splinter, but missed as he dodged, then he ducked under a whack from his stick.
"I believe it's time..." Mr. Touch said, sending punches at Mikey and Elisa, who dodged them. "..for the Mutants to catch a train, Mr. Go."
Splinter jumped as Mr. Go tried to whack him with his stick, as a train raced towards them on the track.
"Or for the train to catch the Mutants, Mr. Touch." Mr. Go joked.
Mikey, Elisa and Splinter all turned to the Subway train as its horn honked, then Mr. Go spun around and kicked Splinter, as Mr. Touch punched both Elisa and Mikey.
"WHOA!" they yelped.
They all landed on the train track, then stared at the Subway, which dashed right past Mr's. Touch and Go. As a few pieces of paper floated in the air, both men looked down at the track, and saw Splinter's Kimono and walking stick, Mikey's Nunchucks, and Elisa's mask and Kamas.
"Our employer will be pleased, Mr. Go." Mr. Touch said.
"I am rather pleased myself, Mr. Touch." Mr. Go said.
They both laughed evilly, while staring at what they thought remained of Splinter, Elisa and Mikey.
They both then stood on either side of Splinter's Kimono, then Mr. Touch bent down and picked up one of Mikey's Nunchucks.
"I believe we just earn ourselves some money, Mr. Go." he said.
"What say we pay our employer a visit, Mr. Touch?" Mr. Go suggested. "I think it is payday for us, yes?"
He held his stick up, then moved his hat slightly with the end of it.
Meanwhile, in the lair, Leo - having just returned - walked over to Leatherhead and his brainy siblings, who all stood by the TVs.
"Leatherhead, check the dish alignment?" Donnie asked, working at the computer. "Something's still wonky."
Leatherhead fiddled with an antenna dish near him, as Cath stared at them, before turning to Leo.
"Hi, Leo." she said.
"Hey, guys." Leo said, approaching them. "Did Raphael get back yet?"
"I don't think so." Donnie replied.
"Haven't seen him." Leatherhead said.
"Neither have I." Cath said.
"He should've been back by now." Leo said. "Ah. Knowing Raph, he's probably gotten into some kind of serious trouble."
But he was wrong, for in Mrs. Morrison's house, Raph was drinking a cup of tea at the kitchen table.
"Ah." he said, lowering the cup.
He then drank some more, before turning to Mrs. Morrison.
"Don't slurp, son." she said.
"Oh, uh... Sorry, ma'am." Raph said.
Lucy meowed and jumped onto his left shoulder, then purred against his head, making him stroke her chin while laughing.
"Lucy's really taken a liking to you, Raphael." Mrs. Morrison said.
Lucy purred as Raph put his cup down, then stroked her head.
"She usually doesn't take to strangers." Mrs. Morrison said. "She used to live in the alley out back. I sort of adopted her or she adopted me. It's hard to tell with cats."
"Hey, I'm a bit of an alley cat too." Raph joked. "Maybe that's why she likes me."
"Aw, well, I shouldn't keep you any longer." Mrs. Morrison said, getting up. "It is a school night after all."
Raph chuckled while stroking Lucy. "Yeah. My Father will probably be waiting for me." he said.
He soon opened the door, looked down the alley, seeing no one around, before he stepped out into it.
"Maybe you could stop by again, Raphael." Mrs. Morrison said, approaching the doorway while stroking Lucy. "Lucy and I will be here a little longer. We'd love to have you."
"Me?" Raph inquired. "Really? Thanks, Mrs. M. I'd like that."
Meanwhile, Mr's. Touch and Go were inside a tall building called 'The Wilton Hotel', meeting with their employer on the top floor, which was none other than Hun.
"We are pleased to report our very first sortie..." Mr. Touch said.
He held Splinter's stick and Kimono, Mikey's Nunchucks, and Elisa's mask and Kamas in his hands.
"Was an unqualified success." Mr. Go finished.
"Gentlemen, I am impressed." Hun stated. "Most impressed."
"The pleasure was all ours, mon ami." Mr. Go assured.
Hun picked up a case full of money and held it out.
"My master will be most pleased." he said.
He threw the case towards them, then Mr. Go caught it.
"Your payment for the rat and two shellbacks." Hun explained.
Mr. Go opened the case, letting it fall slightly, then he and Mr. Touch stared at the money.
"For me?" Mr. Go inquired, as Mr. Touch dropped what he was holding. "Oh, you shouldn't have?"
He laughed as Mr. Touch touched some of the money.
"Oh, and it's green, my favourite." Mr. Go said, as Mr. Touch moved his finger along it.
"Eliminate the other Turtles, and I'll triple it." Hun promised.
A knock then came on the door.
"Hello, room service!" a squeaky voice called.
"We place no order?" Hun recalled.
"Uh, yes you did." the voice said.
Hun huffed as he walked towards the door.
"Go away!" he demanded. "We placed no order!"
He opened up the door, then looked and saw Mikey standing behind a push cart.
"Well, somebody ordered a serious butt-whooping." Mikey joked.
"And it wasn't us!" Elisa joked, popping down from the ceiling.
She then jumped and kicked Hun in the chest, as Mikey rammed him with the cart.
"AGHHH!" Hun yelled.
Mr. Go gasped as he went flying towards him, before landing on him, making him drop the case and causing notes to fly everyone.
"AGH!" Mr. Go moaned.
Mr. Touch turned to them as they skidded along the floor, then crashed into the desk.
"Get off of me, you colossal oaf?!" Mr. Go snarled, touching Hun's shoulder.
He grunted as he tried to lift Hun off of him, but he couldn't. Mr. Touch kept staring at them, as Mikey and Elisa both charged at him, Mikey with a tray.
"Well, well, Mr. T, looks like it's just you and us." Mikey joked.
He tried to whack Mr. Touch with the tray, but missed as he ducked.
"And I pity the fool..." Mikey said, trying to whack Mr. Touch twice, but missed as he dodged both times. "..that throws me in front of a moving train-"
Mr. Touch punched him in the chest, sending him flying away, as Elisa dodged and charged at him.
"OHH!" Mikey yelled, skidding along the floor.
Mr. Touch smiled before turning to Elisa, then sent a punch at her, but missed as she rolled forward, then picked up her mask and Kamas.
"I believe these are mine, Touchy." she snarled, putting her mask on.
She turned to him, just before he punched her in the chest, sending her flying across the room.
"AGHHHH!" she yelled, before hitting the floor, landing beside Mikey.
Mr. Touch approached them both as Mikey sat up, rubbed his chin, then charged at him. Elisa pulled herself up and turned to them both, before she looked at the ceiling.
"Let's try that again, shall we?" Mikey snarled.
A vent cover on the ceiling was pulled back, then Splinter stared down as Mikey dodged a punch from Mr. Touch.
"Whoop." he said, before back flipping to avoid another. "Denied."
He laughed while dodging another.
"Ah, so close." he joked, jumping back to avoid another.
Mr. Touch growled as he landed near Elisa, who turned to him.
"Smooth move, bro." she said annoyed.
Splinter then moved a fire extinguisher over the vent shaft, then shot its foam down into the room, creating a smokescreen with it.
"Alright, Touchy, now you're gonna get it." Mikey said.
"Last chance to walk away." Elisa smirked.
They both laughed before they ran off in different directions.
"What are you trying to pull?" Mr. Touch asked, as Mikey picked up his Nunchucks. "This silly fog will not protect you both for long, little ones."
Mikey patted his back, making him turn around, then he gasped as Mikey whacked him with his Nunchuck between the eyes, knocking him back.
"AHH!" he moaned, touching his forehead, stumbling back.
Elisa then came up behind him and kicked him in the back, knocking him forward slightly.
"UH!" he moaned.
"What's the matter?" Mikey asked. "Can't hit what you can't see?"
Mr. Touch ran forward and sent a punch at him, but missed as he ran off.
"As a ninja, I don't have that problem." he said, kicking Mr. Touch in the back.
"AHH!" Mr. Touch moaned.
He turned around and sent a punch forward, but missed as Mikey ran off.
"And neither do I." Elisa teased, kicking him in the back of the leg.
"OHH!" he moaned.
He charged at Mikey once he spotted him, who then picked up a chair as he tried to punch him, shattering it.
"If you can't see us..." Mikey said, kicking him in the chest. "..you probably can't see your little buddy either."
Elisa turned to Mr. Go, as he finally managed to lift Hun off him, then kicked him with his feet, making him fall onto his chest.
"And I'm betting..." Mikey said, backing away to dodge a punch. "..that if you can't get to him..." he dodged another punch. "..once you're out of juice..."
He grabbed a support beam, then back flipped so he hung upside down while holding it, as Mr. Touch sent a punch at him, hitting it.
"OWW!" he moaned.
"You're out of luck." Mikey joked.
He flipped forwards as kicked Mr. Touch with both feet, sending him flying away, then Elisa spun around and kicked him slightly in the leg, as Hun and Mr. Go got up.
"AHH!" they gasped.
Mr. Touch went flying towards them, then hit them both, sending all three of them flying out of the window.
"AGHH!" they yelled.
"Have a nice trip, boys!" Elisa called.
Hun managed to grab the edge near the window, when Mr's. Touch and Go went flying until they hit the ground.
"OHH!" they moaned.
Hun stared at them both, as Elisa and Mikey both stood above him.
"Hun, my man, you throw one shell of a shindig." Mikey joked, holding up the case. "Thanks for the lovely party favour."
Hun growled as Mikey laughed, then Splinter approached them, wearing his Kimono, as three Police Cars showed up down below, their sirens wailing.
"Ah!" Splinter gasped.
He stared down below, and saw Mr's. Touch and Go had vanished.
"Come, my children. We must go." he said. "It is not safe here."
He wrapped an arm around them both, as they all turned around and walked off.
"You know, Sensei, this whole using your mind thing, it's wild." Mikey said.
"Why'd you say that, bro?" Elisa asked.
"Well, first I thought, 'throw them in front of the train'. But then I thought, 'No. Let them think they're throwing us in front of the train'." Mikey explained. "And then-"
"Yes, yes, my son. It is a brave new world for you." Splinter said.
"Which you'll hopefully remember." Elisa sighed.
Later, in the lair, Leo paced around in front of Donnie and Leatherhead, who were still working on the TVs, as Cath stared at them. Donnie pressed buttons on the computer, as Leatherhead fiddled with the dish, when a noise got them all to turn to the elevator chamber, as its door opened up, and Raph came in.
"Geez, Raph." Leo said, approaching him. "I always said you were slow, but come on? What happened?"
"You are later than normal." Cath noted.
The door leading to the tunnels opened up, then Mikey, Elisa and Splinter all came in.
"Hey, guys, you won't believe this?" Mikey called.
The others all turned to them, as Mikey held up the case.
"I have in my procession, a briefcase overflowing with possibilities." Mikey explained, opening up the case showing the money. "A truckload of rare comics. 22 new televisions."
"Like we need more of those." Elisa muttered.
Leo, Raph, Donnie and Cath all approached them.
"832 consecutive days of Chinese takeout." Mikey said.
"Actually, Mikey, I got a better idea." Raph said.
"What's that, a new punching bag or something?" Cath inquired.
"Nope. Nothing like that." Raph assured.
Later, Raph stood outside Mrs. Morrison's with the briefcase, then knocked on the door.
"Who's there?" Mrs. Morrison asked, opening the door.
"Hey, Mrs. M, it's me, Raphael." Raph said. "I found this case on your doorstep. It's, uh...it's full of money."
He opened it up to show her, despite being blind.
"Huh? Who could've done such a thing?" Mrs. Morrison wondered, taking it as he closed it.
"Know what I think? I think you got a Guardian Angel." Raph said, as Lucy purred against his leg. "Wants to see you stay right where you belong."
Mrs. Morrison smiled at him.
