"Hey dudes, look!"
Leo and Donnie turned from what they were doing to look at Mikey. "What?" Donnie asked, not quite sure what his brother was pointing at.
"We can get to the roof by climbing these," Mikey answered as he jumped onto a cargo box. He pointed out that there was an improvised stairway leading to the roof.
"Good thinking," Donnie commented as he started following Mikey up the boxes.
"Thanks, dude," Mikey responded.
Leo fell in silently behind his brothers, going over the plan and how to deal with any obstacles they might face in his mind. The three of them reached the roof after an almost effortless climb. Leo looked at each of his brothers before speaking to them. "Alright, guys. We have to get Raph out tonight or we miss our easiest chance at getting him back," Leo explained in a monotone voice. "Let's go."
The turtles opened the door on the roof and saw a spiraling staircase leading down. Leo stepped in front of his brothers and started heading down the stairs, slowly unsheathing his katanas. Donnie and Mikey followed and took their weapons out as well.
As they continued to descend, the sounds of blaring music and youthful cheers got louder. They could that they were getting closer to the fighting competition and Leo warned his brothers to be extra careful.
They soon reached the bottom of the staircase, finding themselves in a dark, medium-sized room. Mikey took a few steps forward and wondered out loud, "Where are all the lights?"
As if on cue, the lights in the room turned on, revealing an immense wolf mutant standing in front of a large group of the Foot.
"Where are all the babes?" Mikey asked, looking up slightly. His brothers gave him a look as he shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "It was worth a try."
The turtles turned back to the more serious matter on hand. The new mutant took a few steps towards the trio; a cocky smile had reached his face. "Well, boys, wut have we ga' 'ere?" The wolf asked the Foot Soldiers rhetorically. "Look like a few turtles loss dere way. Wut say we help dem out?" He laughed evilly. "We is gunna have ourselves a little tumble, boys." With a nod of his head, the Foot Soldiers behind Jaaku sprang into action as they started an attack on the turtles.

Casey entered the warehouse with a casual look on his face. His brown optics scanned the area for any type of lead on where Raph might be located. There. Out of the corner of his left eye he spotted a door which a heavyset guard standing in front of it. Casey smiled as he passed through the horde of teenagers and over to the guard. As he approached, the guard lowered his sunglasses and raised a brow Casey.
"Whatchu want, boy?" The guard asked as Casey leaned against the wall.
"Tell me, what's behind this here door?" Casey questioned, jerking his head at the door.
"Ain't nothing that concerns you."
"Right." Casey pushed himself from wall. He pulled his arm back and slammed it back into the guard's face, knocking him to the ground unconscious. "That was easy enough," he commented as he opened the door and sneaked in. He closed the door and looked down the long hallway before him. Raph must be in one of these rooms, Casey thought as he spied the row of doors on each side.
Casey looked in each of the rooms until his reached the last one at the end of the hallway. He slowly turned the knob and opened the door. He peeked his head in and smiled at what he saw. Pacing back and forth in his cell was Raph. Casey entered the room completely, closing the door behind him.
Raph looked up, expecting to see Kurai. Instead, he saw his good friend Casey Jones. "Casey!" He exclaimed, wrapping his three-digit fingers around the cold bars of his cell.
"Hey Raoh, my man. You look a little stuck, there," Casey commented with a smirk.
"Well thank you, Captain Obvious. Would you like to tell me something I don't know?" Raph joked.
After the laughter diminished, Casey took two picks from his pocket and began working on the lock that kept Raph in his cage. A loud click was heard as the lock opened and Casey quickly took it off, releasing Raph from his prison. Raph and Casey cheered as the turtle stepped out of the cage. His expression dulled momentarily as he looked up at his human friend. "We have to get Kurai out of here before we leave."
"Kurai?" Casey inquired, tilting his head slightly. "Who's he?"
"She..." Raph started to say.
"Oooh. Raphie's got a girlfriend," Casey mocked.
"She's not my girlfriend," Raph defended. "Look, we just got to get her out of here, alright Casey?"
"Sure, Raph," he agreed.
The two exited the room in a hurry and began their search in the large warehouse for Kurai...
