A/N: See? I told you I would update really soon. I'm not so mean as to leave you hanging with a cliffie for too long.

Disclaimer: Don't own anyone but Garron.

Don and Garron watched as Raph and Leo ran after Mikey. Garron touched Don's shoulder. "Donatello," he whispered, "Come. Let's get the manuscript."

Don said nothing, merely nodded, and led the way into the Ancient Manuscripts room. "Where did you see the scroll last?" Garron asked Don.

Don looked around, trying to remember. "Umm...over there. By the window."

They hurried over to the case. It was smashed open. Everything in the case looked to be undisturbed. Except...there was a gap between two other manuscripts. "They got it already," Don said, discouraged. "Now what?"

"We find your brothers and come up with a new plan," Garron said resolutely. "Come on." He ran past Don and through the door, towards where the rest of the team was.

Donatello shook his head. Something about him...

Don pushed the thought to the back of his mind and ran after Garron.

"This can't be good." Mikey stated, staring at the Shredder clutching the manuscript, and his sea of ninjas. "This can't be good at all."

"We get the point, Mikey." Raph growled. He gripped his sais tighter. He glanced over to Leo. "What do we do?"

Leo's face was set. "We fight. And hope that Garron and Donatello come back soon."

With that, Leo and his brothers got into fighting stances, and launched themselves at the enemy.

Man, this guy can run! Don thought as he struggled to keep up with Garron.

Garron looked back and slowed so Don could catch up with him. Don shook his head. "Keep going, I can keep up okay." Garron shrugged and continued to run through the halls. Suddenly, he came to a complete stop, causing Don to run straight into him.

"You could've given me a signal...put on your brake lights," Don grumbled.

Garron put up a hand to quiet Donatello, then pointed. The entrance to the Ancient Armor room was totally blocked with...ninjas?

Don groaned inwardly. Great. So the Foot did have the scroll. Don could hear Raph's curses float through the hallway. "Well, come on Garron," he said, pulling out his Bo. "Looks like they might need just a bit of help."

Garron nodded and pulled out an ornate sword. Now where did that come from? Donatello thought. More of Raph's curses brought him back to earth. He didn't have time to think right now. He positioned his Bo and pole-vaulted over the guard ninjas right into the middle of the battle.

"Hey Donnie, nice of you to drop by!" Raph said sarcastically as he punched one ninja in the face and kicked another in the gut.

"Sorry, I was a little held up," Don told him, as he swept his weapon under the feet of his enemy, knocking a fair amount of them on their butts.

"We noticed," Leo said dryly, as all four turtles were rounded back to back into the ring of ninjas.

"There's too many of them!" Mikey yelped as he stepped on a ninja's foot and hit another in the face with his nunchucks.

Suddenly, Garron leapt up over the ninjas and into the middle of the circle where the turtles were. His sword flashed, and within seconds, half of the ninjas were unconscious, leaving an opening to escape. The Shredder and the manuscript were nowhere to be seen. "Scatter!" Leo ordered. "Regroup at April's!"

His brothers obeyed, and they disappeared like the ninjas they were. Only Garron and Leo were left. They ran together into the alley and behind a dumpster to catch their breath. "Thank you," Leo said to Garron. Garron merely shrugged.

"No problem."

With that they separated, to make it harder for the Foot to follow.

New plan, Leo thought, as he ran through the shadows.

A/N: And that concludes chapter ten. Just so you know, we are nowhere near the end. I'm still not quite sure where I'm going with this. Hope you enjoyed it. REVIEW!!!
