Disclaimer: I don't the Turtles. No duh.
All four turtles and Garron sat around the round kitchen table in April's apartment. Master Splinter had gone to meditate. Their heads were bent over various maps of New York.
"If Shredder wanted to talk to us so bad, he coulda left a forwarding address!" Raph growled.
Leo frowned. "Chill, Raph. We all know Shredder is evil, and dishonorable, but he isn't that smart either. So before we rescue April, we have to find out where she is."
"Yeah, I know, but I don't hafta like it." Raph muttered.
Leo ignored him and turned to Don. "Donnie. Can you do anything?"
Donnie nodded. "Yeah. When Shredder called our cells, his own phone gave off a signal, which I can trace."
Garron, who had been silent for the whole conversation, said, "When you find your friend...what do you plan on doing with me?"
Leo regarded him quietly for a moment. "We don't plan on doing anything with you. Whatever you do is up to you. But I hope you make the right choice, Garron."
Garron said nothing, but looked back down on the floor. Suddenly there was a huge crashing noise in the stairwell.
Mikey, Raph and Leo jumped up, getting into defensive positions. Donnie instinctively grabbed his bo, even though he was in no position to do anything.
All four of them tensed as the door swung open to reveal-
Casey came crashing in, his hockey mask pulled over his face, his hockey stick in his hand. He immediately started to beat up the furniture in the living room.
"Where'd...he....take her....the...SLIMEBALL!!"
Casey attacked began to hit his hockey stick repeatedly on Mikey's gamestation, which he had left at April's.
Leo rolled his eyes. "Okay, who invited him?" He asked, pointing to Casey. "Raph?"
Raph looked sheepish. "Uh...yeah, well, I mighta invited him after Shredder's phone call..."
Leo sighed, and Don rolled his eyes as Mikey mourned his departed gamestation.
"Well, since you're here Casey, you might as well come with us to rescue April."
"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Casey said, waving his hockey stick in the air.
"Well, come here then, Casey," Don said impatiently. He and Leo had come up with a plan.
Don waited until his brothers were crowded around him, before continuing. "Okay. This is where April is." He pointed to a spot close to the Hudson. "Now. This is what we're gonna do."
"Raph, is this gonna work?" Mikey asked as they gradually made their way across the roof of yet another abandoned warehouse. "How many abandoned warehouses are there in New York anyway?"
Raph rolled his eyes. "Everyone got a partner, and I got Mikey. I woulda been happier with Leo."
Mikey slapped him playfully on the back of the head. "I heard that!"
Raph glared at him. "Shut up Mikey. We're not here to screw around."
Mikey frowned, but fell silent. He and Raph crouched on the edge of the roof and waited for the signal from Leo.
Crouched in the topmost branches of a tree in front of the warehouse, Leo waited for his brothers to make it to the edge of the roof.
"Okay....there they are," Leo whispered, then rolled his eyes as the figure in orange slapped the one in red on the head. "Jeez. Time for the signal." He withdrew a tiny light from his belt. Leo silently drew one of his katana, and thrust it into the light, making a flash.
Hidden in the shadows given off by the warehouse, Casey and Garron crept around to the door they had spotted earlier. Casey spotted the flash from Leo's blade.
"Good...there's the signal. Let's go."
"You'll not be going anywhere!" A raspy voice growled. Garron and Casey whipped around.
There stood the Shredder, surrounded by Foot. Casey backed up before launching himself into them. "GOONGALA!!"
On the roof, Mikey and Raph saw something going on in the shadows. "Hey, look, Foot soldiers!"
Raph growled. "Perfect."
They both started to climb down from the roof.
In the tree, Leo frowned as Mikey and Raph started to climb down from the roof. "What are they doing?"
Leo scanned the area Mike and Raph were heading for. The shadows were thick with battle.
Leo blinked. Wait, battle?
Leo sighed, and began to climb down the tree to help his brother. If we live through this, I need a new plan, he thought, as the figure that was Casey hit the ground.
A/N: Sorry this is shorter than usual, I'm really really tired. I'll update within a week, ok?
