Arc 1: Heroes in a Loud-Shell!
Chapter 3: "Louds and Turtles (Part 3)"
After April, the turtles, and the Louds have escaped the Purple Dragon headquarters, they all stopped at an abandoned playground to catch their breaths.
"THAT was literally insane!" Lori was catching her breath.
"Totally, I saw my life flashing before my eyes!" Leni added as she desperately tried to process what exactly happened.
"I can't believe you guys got taken by those Purple Dragon gang!" Lincoln says in a very frantic manner.
"I can't believe you and April met the rest of those green guys!" Clyde countered.
"I heard New York was full of freaks, but this is not what I had in mind!" Lynn admits.
"Um, speaking of that, are we ignoring the fact that there are 4 giant turtles with us?!" Lola questioned her siblings her dress ruined by all the running and escaping.
The siblings then take a sight at the turtles who seem to be preoccupied in an argument now along with April concerning their exposure to the Purple Dragons.
"This is bad, this is VERY BAD! We got exposed to the Purple Dragons!" Donnie panicked.
"Now they're probably going to spread the word out within the New York population!" Leo told his brothers, though it was necessary their secret just got a lot more complicated.
"Guys, calm down," April tried to reason.
"What the hell were you thinking Raph!?" Leo pointed fingers to his brother for getting caught by the Dragons.
Raph, however, retaliated, "HEY! Don't point fingers at me, it's Mikey's fault almost falling off at flagpole like a dumbass! I would've never had fallen into that garbage truck!"
"Hey, it was you guys' fault for making the mission boring, what else was I supposed to do?" Miley countered his temperamental brother, who jumped at the orange bandana turtle.
"You could have done something un-stupid for a change!" Raph barked at Mikey grabbing him by his frontal shell.
Donnie then budded in, "I'm accurately certain that un-stupid is not a word!"
Raph countered, "WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON?!"
"How about a side that thinks straight!" Leo yelled at his brothers and one of his veins nearly popping from his forehead.
"HEY!" The brothers turned over to the source of the yell, which happens to be April as she seems to have an unpleased look. "If you guys don't stop, I'll suggest sensei won't give you pizza for 3 months!" April threatened the turtles if they don't calm down.
The four brothers looked at each other with worry in their eyes and decided to do as April says. "Now that we are focused don't you think we should focus on the elephant in the room?!" She nodded to Clyde and the Loud siblings, sans Lincoln, who still seem to have looks of shock and are lost with words.
Mikey, however, takes April's metaphor too literally. "Elephant in the room? April, we're out in the playground and I don't see any elephants, just a bunch of cute girls and a bo….oh, I see!" Mikey catches on figuring out that April refers to Clyde and Loud sisters.
The brothers looked at each other again and decided to play it cool, except for Raph and Donnie with the former knowing there's no point and the latter, with his gynophobia kicking in, trying to hide behind the corner of the building next to them. "N-now don't mind us, we're just a bunch of cosplayers trying to find the next convention! I mean we're just wearing mask" Leo said, hoping they'd buy it.
"He's right, watch!" Mikey absentmindedly takes off his orange mask revealing his green turtle face, sort of ruining the act, "This is what we really look like!...wait."
Leo, Raph, and April groaned by Mikey's mistake.
"No way you guys are is costumes, your punches were too powerful for comic book nerds!" Lynn exclaimed.
"What's so wrong with comic book nerds!?" Mikey asked Lynn, with his pride as a comic book collector on the line.
The reaction for Lana was very different compared to the others, "Talking turtles, this is awesome!" she rushes over to Mikey and hugs him by the leg, "Can we keep one of them?!"
Lori, other the hand, still is trying to process everything. "Hang on! What the heck is going on here?! Who are you guys?! What are you?! How do you know them April?! Why are you wearing colorful mask?! How can they figh-?!
Lincoln stopped Lori's bombard of questions, "Lori, calm down!"
"And how do you know them?!" Lori roared out at her little brother, her eyes possessing everything as she looked at him.
"Well, the funny thing is...these guys... are sort of April's brothers," Lincoln said trying to calm his sister down.
"WHAT?!" All his sister yelled out their jaws nearly hit the ground in shock.
"You have four giant talking turtles for pets?!" Luan stated.
Raph, on the other hand, got offended by that word, "PET?!" He was about to angrily pull out one of his Sai out to make a threat but was quickly stopped by April.
"Raph they didn't know, so calm down," April told the enraged turtle. Slowly he began to back away and put his Sai away.
"Raph doesn't like being called the P word, and honestly they're closer to me as a family than anyone else I know." April explained to the gobsmacked sisters, "And another thing…they're mutant turtles."
"MUTANTS?!"
"So, these guys aren't Kappa?" The turtle brothers got frightened as they turn around to see that it was Lucy right next to them.
Mikey was pretty freaked out by her appearance, "OH NO! IT'S THE GIRL THAT COMES OUT FROM THE T.V.!" He latches onto April.
April, however, puts Mikey down and corrects him, "No Mikey, she's just a goth girl who lets her hair grow," she then looks at Lucy, "And Lucy, no, I'm afraid not."
"That's disappointing. But I guess mutants are still just as freaky," Lucy states still in her same gloomy and stoic manner.
Lana was rather impressed and envious than most of the sisters, "Lucky! I've always wanted talking animals for friends!"
"Amazing, thish type of mutation is rarely seen or heard of! What kind of mutagenetic compound did thish; was it Ethidium bromide, or Ethyl merchant sulfonate?" Lisa asked the brothers.
The turtles, sans Donnie, looked at Lisa with confusion. "Even without her spitting the words out of her mouth, I still didn't get with Brainiac here is saying," Raph remarks.
Leo then responds to Lisa's questions, "You could always ask our brother Donni-." He sees that Donnie is nowhere in sight.
"Oh, right, forgot about that," Mikey stated, while the loud siblings were rather confused by the sudden disappearance.
"What's wrong him bro?" Luna asked the group.
"He really doesn't want to talk about it," April states, all while Mikey finds Donnie and tries to push him back with the others.
"Come on bro, don't be rude," Mikey attempts to comfort him.
"No thanks, I'm perfectly comfortable being rude!" Donnie screeched out as he tried to dig himself into the ground trying to convince his brothers to give in.
Raph remarks on that, "You are such a spazz man, what do you think they're going to do, bite?!"
"If I say yes, will you let me go?!" After his failed attempts to stay behind, Donnie is brought face to face with the girls, "H-he-hel-hello." Donnie greets the Loud sisters as a stuttering mess.
Leni from the group comes closer and greets him with a very friendly smile, "Hello turtle man, I'm Leni!"
Donnie, however, couldn't handle being up close that he pulls his head into his shell from nervousness. Leni jumped back from the sudden head loss.
"Ahhhh! I caused him to lose his head!" Leni screamed out.
Lincoln corrected her, "Leni relax, he's a turtle, his head is in his shell."
Leni let a relieved sigh as her little brother told about that.
"Why is he scared of me?" Leni asked April, worried that she did something awful.
"As I said, he doesn't like talking about it."
Raph then intervened, "Listen dorks and dorkettes this have fun and pretty," Raph grabbed April's hand. "But we really should be heading back to our own turf."
"Wait, could you help us home?" Lori asked the turtle bros worried for her siblings in a rather dangerous area.
"What do we look like to you, bodyguards?" Raph sarcastically asked.
Lori grew a little irritated by the red-masked turtles' attitude, "But you just helped us escape!"
"I consider it more like a professional courtesy. Besides, if it weren't for you bozos our secret wouldn't be out to the Purple Dragons!" Raph added on glaring at Lori who began to glare at him back.
Donnie decided to comment, "I-it's a pretty rare moment, but I have to side with Raph on the escort thing. B-besides, we should be heading back right away, sensei really expects us."
"And what would sensei do to us if we left some helpless civilians in the middle of mugging territory?" Leo asked his brothers, giving off his best leadership look.
"Dude, we're already in enough trouble with sensei being exposed to the Dragons and these loonies!" Raph answers back.
But Mikey says, "But we're supposed to be heroes, and they also have a baby with them. And she's an adorable rag muffin!" He picks the giggling baby up to Raph's face.
"Goo goo!" Lily babbles out as she presses her hand on Raph's head, letting out a giggle as she does. Raph couldn't help but smirk a bit while he was blushing and trying to resist showing his soft side. Even HE couldn't deny that Lily was absolutely adorable.
"Give her back!" Lori takes her baby sister from Mikey, giving him a look of disapproval.
"Wait, maybe you guys can take us where you live!" Lincoln suggested.
"Umm, we live in the sewers," April told the group, causing Lola to go white while Lana broke out into the biggest smile, she ever had.
"You didn't have to tell them that April," Leo sternly whispers to April considering she somewhat gave up the location to their home. April slaps herself for her mistake.
"On second thought maybe, we'll take the muggers," Lola muttered as she tried to walk away.
"Yeah, I can try taking them down a notch," Lynn commented.
"Hang on guys, if these guys really are April's family, then we wouldn't just have protection, but this would be the perfect opportunity to get to know April's family. It would be a pleasure" Lincoln says as he gazes at April.
While the sisters and Clyde wanted to roll their eyes, Lincoln had a point they would get both protection from creeps but find out a bit about April as well.
April actually thought about it and actually agrees with Lincoln, "I think Lincoln's right. Even though I've only known them for 3 months they've been pretty good friends, and we have to tell sensei about them anyway."
"Forget it April, we have no business taking your friends with us to our SECRET HIDDEN LAIR! They might spill the beans, right Leo?!"
Leo starts to think about this too. After taking about 15 seconds, he concluded and pulls out his phone, "Well before we start taking action, I think the best thing to do is to call sensei to tell him everything beforehand."
"So, who is sensei?" Luan asked April, too astonished to make a pun.
As Leo was making a phone call to Splinter. April was about to answer, but Mikey beat her to it, "You mean Master Splinter?! He's only the greatest ninja sensei of all time!"
"So, is he a turtle too or is he human?" Leni asked, wondering what kind of animal Splinter could be.
"Well, he's a-"
Mikey was interrupted by Leo who just finished his phone call. "Okay guy, I just got off the phone with sensei."
"Did he sound upset?" Donnie asked nervously.
"Well let's just say we're going to be having some very disciplinary lessons for nearly a month," Leo answered shuddering at the thought of it. The turtles second those thoughts as well.
"So, did he say that the lair is off-limits to these princesses?" Raph hoped that was the case, which wasn't, unfortunately for him.
"ACTUALLY, after hearing about you guys, he's requested that you guys come and see him," Leo corrected.
"WHAT?!" Both Raph and Donnie yelled out with shock after hearing about his sensei's odd decision.
"Under ONE condition."
"Which is?" Lynn asked the turtle.
"You all have to follow us to the lair blindfolded," Leo clearly states.
The girls were about to protest until Lincoln gave the siblings a certain look. "We'll do it."
"But why does it have to be blindfolded?!" Lynn demanded.
"Well, we can't just show a bunch of dopes we just met how to get to our lair," Raph retorts. Still feeling rather bitter about the idea of bringing the group to the lair at all.
"At least until our sensei knows he can trust you," April added.
After a few short moments, the Loud girls, Lincoln, and Clyde were blindfolded, and Mikey found a sewer lid and then lift it up to open.
"Alright dudes and dudettes get ready for a wild ride!" He exclaimed as he jumped into the sewer, "COWABONGA!"
The others had gone down to the sewer as well but were not prepared for the stench. Except for Lana of course, "Nice! You guys are so lucky, you get to live in the sewers!"
Lola decided to ask, "How can you guys live in filth?!"
Donnie answers, "The SEWER is filthy, we actually keep our lair clean."
Mikey intervenes, "And we shower regularly!" This, however, has April and the other turtles giving him raised eyebrows knowing his statement is only mostly true making Mikey give in, "Fine, I shower 3 times a month."
Most of the girls got disgusted by Mikey's comment, except for Lana of course.
"That's not so bad, I love getting dirty!" Lana states.
Raph, however, chuckles knowing an innuendo to that. Leo catches him on and cringes, "Oh grow up man!"
After what seemed to be an hour of slipping and sliding in the sewers, the turtles led the blindfolded group to an enormous open area with a stream flowing in the middle of it.
"Okay dudes and dudettes, we're here!" Mikey sounded all excited.
They opened their blindfolds and see the lair, as it appears to look like an abandoned underground shopping center that was big enough to for a wild party.
"Woah dude! Your pad is big enough for a rocking concert!" Luna exclaimed, surprised by the size.
Leo responds, "I know, a great place to place some music and chillax."
April talks as well, "Some of these stores have been replaced with our rooms, but some are still kept in, like the arcade for one."
"An arcade!?" Clyde and Lincoln yelled out their minds thinking about all the high scores they could crush.
"And this place doesn't look nearly as filthy as you thought it would, thanks to yours truly!" Donnie added.
"Aww thank you, Donnie." Leni cooed out as her eyes began to eat up every inch of this place, it would work well for her dressmaking. Donnie chuckled very flattered and nervously by Leni's compliment.
"Got anything to punch here? I didn't get to hit any of those goons, and I need something to hit." Lynn asked the brothers as she cracked her knuckles.
Raph answers the little athlete, "You can use all the punching bags located in the gym or Mikey."
Mikey got irritated by Raph's joke, "HEY!"
"So, Mikey I have a question, orange you glad you have a room by yourself?" Luan punned, causing her sisters and brother to groan but Miley soon had a smile from ear to ear.
He started to laugh, "Wow, that's a good one girl! You know, we also have a stage center here for your jokes, we also have a little movie theater with some classic films!"
"A stage! I can finally perform under the right circumstances." Lola squealed as she thought of becoming a pageant queen.
Leo seems to be very amused by the positive perspective everyone has on their lair, but he remembers why they brought them here in the first place, "Okay guys, we can tour the lair later, but we need you guys to meet our sensei."
"Alright, is there anything we need to know before we meet him?" Lincoln asked the blue bandana turtle.
"Just that he can be pretty wise, strict, and is-."
"Soredemo sutei! (Stay there!)" Leo was interrupted by the one coming out of the hall.
Lori then tried to greet the sensei of April and the turtles, "You must be Master Splinter, nice to meet you, I'm Lori Lo-."
However, she stopped midway as the light shined on Splinter, showing him to be a man-sized rat with impressive facial hair. "Then I suppose my sons have told you all about me, have they?" Splinter questioned while remaining calm.
Clyde and the Louds were stunned by the appearance of the sensei. Lori started stammering, "YOU'RE A-A-A-!"
"RRAAAAATTTTT!" Leni screamed out and she latches onto Lori all frightened showing her apparent phobia of rats.
"A rat, yes but please do not be afraid." Splinter tried to calm and comfort the stammering teens.
"Dude, we honestly thought you'd be a turtle like the boys here or April's Dad that would be human!" Luna says still being shocked.
"I see... speaking of which," Splinter brings an angry look towards his sons' and smacks them across the faces with his tail.
"OOOOOWWWWWWW!"
"Woah, talk about harsh," Lynn muttered out as she saw the tail smack.
"I am very disappointed in all of you for your reckless behaviors!" Splinter shouted, "Your lack of thought-out methods have gotten you boys exposed!"
"Sorry Sensei!" All four of the turtle brothers exclaimed as they bowed to their sensei.
Splinter takes a deep breath to calm down, he then turns over to the other kids, "I apologize for my outburst, I just tend to lose my peace for my sons' lack of wisdom."
"It's fine, it's also kind of our fault they were exposed." Lori tried to shift the blame from the brothers to them to help them out.
Yeah, and they did save us from the Purple Dragons anyway," Lincoln added.
Splinter then thinks this over, "That is true...well, what's past is past. There's no going back. So, you are all friends of April correct?"
"Well yeah, we met for about three months. We've been pretty inseparable from that point on." Lori answered the sensei.
"Then you must understand, me and my sons have never revealed ourselves to the surface and been in hiding from any other humans for years," Splinter says in a tone very serious and stern to let the Loud family know how important the topic is, "So as April's family, we must ask you if you're willing to spare the secret of our existence?"
The Louds and Clyde were silent for a bit until they spoke up.
"Of course, we won't tell," Lincoln says.
"I won't rat ya out." Luan punned and laughed again. "But seriously, we won't."
Lola, on the other hand, didn't seem to be on the same page, "But what about the monster contest?!" Lola said knowing it would cost them the grand prize.
Lincoln then reminds Lola, "But these guys are April's family, and they did save our lives, Lola, I think they deserve our help even if we won't get our pay."
"Ok, I'll keep it a secret." Lola broke.
"I swear on my monkey wrench," Lana swore her eyes filled with determination.
Splinter decides to walk over to the children to observe their expressions to make some final judgment on whether to trust them or not, and it seems he has chosen to welcome them to their secrets, "Very well, then I assume you have some questions regarding me and my sons correct?"
"Yes." Lucy groaned out causing her siblings and Clyde to jump.
"Since you all are welcome here now, how about you each tell us who you are? After that, I can tell you the story of who WE are," Splinter tells them in a calming manner.
"Yesh pleashe!" Lisa exclaimed as she pulled out a pencil and pad, ready for the story
"Well first, I'm Lincoln Loud and this is Lily."
"I'm Clyde McBride"
"Lori." The oldest sister introduced herself.
"Leni, love your kimono," Leni told Splinter.
"Luna, glad ta meet ya govnah!" Luna exclaimed with a wink.
"Luan's the name, puns are my game!"
"Lynn Loud, star athlete."
"Lucy."
"Lana, grease monkey!"
"Lola Loud, prim and perfect."
"And I am Lisa Loud, Ish a pleasure!"
Mikey was easily fascinated by their names, "Woah dudes, not counting the Clyde kid, all their names start with L, so cool! Kinda like your name Leo! You'd probably fit right in!" Leo just rolled his eyes but had to admit his brother did have point.
"So how exactly did become mutants?" Lynn asked the family.
Splinter begins to remember the story of how he and his son became what they are today, "Yes, there was a point in our lives when we used to be what you call 'normal.' This is a story of a man named Hamato Yoshi."
Splinter's POV
15 years ago, Yoshi worked as a janitor for a local college, he had moved here to New York from Tokyo, Japan in search for a new life due to to…various circumstances. He lived in a one-bedroom apartment building, but he was not living alone; next to his bed was a glass fishbowl and in it were four baby turtles.
Though it didn't seem like it, he was happy with this life. Until an accident happened at the college.
Yoshi took his turtles there to have a checkup with the vet, and when he exited the college, he found a street alley rat on his shoulders and shooed it away. Afterward, he saw some glowing green light coming from the building. Yoshi wonders what was causing the glowing until he saw a canister of green ooze crashing through the windows causing it to spill all over Yoshi and the turtles. Even though they were all covered, nothing happened at first. So, Yoshi headed back home to see if he can wash the ooze off him and the turtles.
But soon, the most unfortunate happens; when he got home, he wasn't feeling so good, and then he sees his turtles glowing through their eyes. And then it happens. The four turtles started to morph and are doubling in size! When they stopped growing, they have developed a more anthropomorphic appearance! Yoshi was shocked by their stunning transformations until he notices he was changing too! He started to grow claws on his hands and feet! His ears grew big and pointy! He grew fur all over his body! Hamato Yoshi was no longer human and became a giant mutated rat!
Leni interrupted the story with a clueless statement, "Woah, this Yoshi guy turned into a giant rat?! Wait, but you're also a giant rat! Sounds weird that there are now 2 giant rats!"
The siblings just facepalmed at their sister's airheadedness.
"Leni, Splinter is Yoshi," Lincoln explained.
Leni gasped, "O-M-GOSH! That makes a lot more sense!"
"Yes," Splinter confirmed, "I am Hamato Yoshi and I used to be human."
"So cool!" Lana impulsively says out loud thinking how cool it is that a human can transform into an animal.
The others, however, gave Lana glares since they think it's insensitive of her to say so since the whole transformation was against Splinter's will when he was trying to start a new life. "Lana, don't be insensitive!" Lori scolded.
"But he turned into an animal!" Lana whined, but it just irked her siblings more.
"Against his will Lana," Luan added on.
"Children, it's quite all right," Splinter said so in trying to calm the Louds down.
As they did so, Lincoln hopes he continues the story, "So what did you do next?"
We had to flee, many humans would try to capture and experiment on us. So, we fled to the sewers to make sure that our lives could have some peace.
I knew the people of the surface wouldn't react well to our appearances; we are very 'different' compared to everyday life. I even decided to start raising the turtles as if they were my own. So, for the first year since our mutation, we have wondered the sewers for a home, hoping we could find someplace to survive. I also knew how much the mutation has changed the turtles' than just their sizes, but nothing has prepared me for what occurred one day; one of them spoke!
"Splinter," Younger Donnie says as his first word.
Needless to say, I was shocked, the serum not only changed their bodies but their minds as well.
Soon they were all speaking and started to grow more aware of what was going on. After getting a glimpse of the surface, being very young, they gained the desire for exploration.
"Woah, guys! Look at the big screen thing!" A young and excitable Leo said to his brothers when they were looking through the sewer hole watching a music video of Mick Swagger.
Mikey looked at the screen in amazement, until he walked away and began to copy the dancer.
Then some local pizza delivery bike rider was losing balance as he was about to hit a pedestrian and accidentally drops one of the pizzas right next to the sewer where Raph decides to take it for the keeping. The turtles then gather around to open it. "Woah, smells good," Raph commented.
Each of the turtles takes a slice of pizza and when they took a bite out of the slices, they were relishing the flavor. "This...is... AMAZING!" Mikey yelled with satisfaction.
I looked at my children in happiness but underneath I knew what would happen if humans saw them. I realized that I had to teach them to defend themselves.
If they were going to venture and explore the surface above them, they should at least know everything of martial arts, for the rest of their years, I used my teachings of ninjutsu to not only teach them to fight but to sneak within the shadows and help those in need without being revealed.
"And that's the end of our story," Splinter concluded without finishing, "My sons have used my teachings to become a unit of highly trained ninja." He then looks over to the turtles to properly introduce them; "Leonardo, who wields the katana blades," Leo bows to the group humbled and calm. "Michelangelo, who wields the nunchaku," Mikey waves at them with his brightest smile. "Donatello, who wields the bo staff," Donnie nervously laughs while rubbing the back of his head. "And Raphael, who wields the sai," Raph has a bored attitude while twirling one of his sai.
Clyde and the Louds checked out the lair yet again, taking as much time as necessary to look at the four turtles. They gazed at them, in wonderment. "Woah, if there was an award for the best origin story, that one would take the cake!" Lincoln breathed.
"Aww that so sweet!" Leni exclaimed once the story ended.
"I have ta admit brah, you guys have a rockin dad." Luna complimented the rat sensei.
"Thank you, I guess you could say that I am a pretty 'rockin' dad," Splinter said with a satisfied smile.
"But why do your names sound Italian?" Lynn asked with confusion.
"They were named after the artist and painters of Italian Renaissance," Splinter answered.
"So how did you guys meet April?" Lori asked the family
"And where did you learn ninjutsu um...Mr. Hamato?" Lincoln also asked.
"You can call me Master Splinter or just Splinter is fine," he reassured them, "But for now, those are stories for another time."
"Excushe me shiblings but I believe we are forgetting something," Lisa informed her family as she showed them the time on her watch.
"Is it us giving you guys our new secret handshake as a sign of our new friendship?!" Mikey comments as he spits on his hand and offers it to the group to shake it.
Most of the family and Clyde slightly cringed from the action but Lana met the shake in full force, spitting on her own hand as well.
"No, more like the curfew our parents shet up," Lisa explained.
Leni gasped "Oh no, we were so busy from listening to this endearing story that we traveled in time!"
"Is she always like that?" Raph asked the siblings, the airhead was starting to get on his nerves.
Lincoln then looks at his watch, "We only have ten minutes before curfew!"
"Don't worry, I can use my wrist tablet to pinpoint the fastest route to your location...where is that by the way?" Donnie asked.
"Ummm, on East 2nd street and it's house number 432," Lori answered the purple bandanaed turtle.
Donnie carefully types in the location Lori gave him and it shows him the coordinates, "Wow... I-it's only 0.1 miles from here."
April intersected, "I was about to tell you guys it's not that far."
"Phew, I was afraid we'd get in trouble." Lincoln let out a breath of relief.
"So when can we talk to you guys again?" Lana asked the turtle brothers, excited to meet them again.
"Probably in like a millennium," Raph sarcastically retorts, which Leo counters with bumping him with his elbow.
"We can talk anytime. Any friends of April are friends of ours," Leo told them with hospitality.
"Yeah! We're basically neighbors since we don't live far!" Mikey added.
"Sweet! Hey, red want to test our punches sometime?" Lynn asked Raph cracking her knuckles.
"If you got some decent enough punches," Raph commented.
Lynn looked ready to demonstrate until Lori cut in, "Thank you guys for well saving us and helping us."
"Seriously, we really owe you guys a lot and I hope we can meet again soon," Lincoln said with some huge satisfaction on his face.
April, Splinter, and the turtles waved off to Clyde and the Louds as they did the same until they were left out of their sights.
"Do you really think it's ok to let them visit whenever?" Raph questions who is still not entirely on board with their next visit.
"Never doubt people, Raphael who have proven to have good hearts, a friendship can be a powerful force and these friends you make could even help you." Splinter answered his son.
Raph just rolls his eyes as he still has doubts about their new friends.
As Clyde and the Louds walk their way home, Clyde tells the others about going home, "So I was thinking that I should go to your house first and then have my Dads pick me up."
"Of course, Clyde. You're always welcomed." Before Lincoln could talk any further, he kept feeling something under his shoe that's been bugging him since they escaped the warehouse. He picks it up to look and sees a black rag with a red colored foot logo, "What's this?"
Meanwhile, Hun, the Leader of the Purple Dragons, walked into a tall building in the style of Japanese architecture and walks into the office to meet his master, "I would like to speak with the Master," he told a pair of some shady dark dressed ninja. The two ninjas parted as the doors began to slowly open, Hun walked through the doors into what seemed to be an old-style dojo.
"Hunter Mason, I've heard the word that you bring dire news," said the man with a chilling voice who is behind the shadows.
"Unfortunately, master, one of the warehouses were destroyed and our men were beaten," Hun informed the voice, trying not to show fear.
"You may be an old friend, but I do not tolerate failure. Our agreement was to have your gang act as a cover for our activities," The man stated perfectly clear.
"I know. My 2 henchmen made the foolish mistake of setting up blackmail with some random civilians who happen to be children but there were these creatures alongside them, they attacked the men and destroyed the warehouse." Hun added as he pulled out a ninja Star with a floral pattern. "They carried a familiar coat of arms."
The man took a moment to analyze the symbol, "Creatures?"
"Yes, at least from what my men described. They said to be green, amphibian-like creatures," Hun added.
"And are they still clueless about my organization's existence?" He asked.
"No idea you even exist," Hun answered his master.
"That's good for now, you are dismissed," The man ordered.
"Yes, Master Shredder," Hun just bowed as he exited the room, off to punish those who failed to stop those creatures.
The man had a moment to think for himself as he thought about the symbol. 'Is it really possible for my old childhood friend to end up in New York as well, but if so, how does he have amphibian-like creatures for soldiers?' He decided to put these theories aside and focuses on one fact; these 'creatures' are interfering with his plans for the city, so he must tear away these foes, for he is the Shredder!
That marks the end of 3-part beginning.
We finally got the Louds to meet Splinter and learn the origins of the turtles.
We hope to learn more about April's story.
And it looks like the Shredder has now been introduced as well!
Next time, we will have an an adaption of the LH episode "Left in the Dark" with have a little action mixed in featuring some familiar TMNT foes!
