Raph follow Master Splinter out of his room and into the living room, where the

others were sitting. They all looked up as Raph entered the room, obviously wondering if

he was going to agree to this plan. Master Splinter looked at his pupils and friends, and

said "It is time to show the Shredder just what we think of him." With that, he took his

walking stick and climbed up the ladder.

One by one they all followed him, except for Raph, who still wasn't sure about Akira, but decided that he might as well go along with the plan. He vowed to himself that if Akira was lying he would never see the light of day again. With that Raph walked over to the ladder and joined his family in friends while they prepared for the biggest battle of their lives.

Akira and Devon trudged through the sewers in silence, both thinking about the

dangerous position they were in. Akira suddenly had an idea. He turned to Devon and

said "Didn't you say that there was some scientist who was working with Shredder to

convince Venus to join?" "I believe that's what I was told, why?" Devon asked curious

to know what this had to do with their current condition. "Is he friends with Venus right

now?" Akira asked him, hoping the answer was yes. "I believe so; they've made amends

after he told her that he was sorry about trying to kill he when their old enemy was here."

Devon told him. "DO you think that he might tell her what was going on? I think if he

says something to her, and maybe backs up what we're gonna tell her, that it might

convince her." Akira explained, "Do you think we should?" "I don't know, it sounds

kinda risky, what if he's still good friends with the Shredder? If so, that could destroy

our whole plan. "I think that we should at least try!" With that Akira pushed ahead of

Devon and headed towards the lair. Devon sighed and began to follow him.

They approached the lair carefully, on full alert. Out of the corner of his eye

Akira saw the Hummer that the guys owned, and knew that they were waitng for the

signal. Devon appeared very nervous, and Akira wondered what was wrong. He decided

to ignore it, and the two of them proceeded towards the entrance of the lair.

They managed to slip inside undetected, and walked around looking for the

scientist. They found him inside one of the rooms, talking into a recorder. "Excuse me,

mr...." Devon asked, only to be interrupted. "The name's Cornelius Quease, but you

can call me Dr. Quease. What can I help you boys with?" Akira and Devon looked at

each other, and Akira began telling Quease about their problems
