TMNT 2003 S1: Four Turtles More

by Fanficteller

Fifteen years have passed since the accident. Now, eight turtles, six brothers and two sisters, born as mutants in the sewers and trained as ninjas by a rat, are forced to leave their destroyed underground home and take the first step into a surface world where they face many adventures and meet new friends and foes, until they meet their toughest opponent ever, The Shredder.

9. Attack of the Mousers Part 1

Guest - I'm planning to give my oc turtles some of oc-focused episodes. However, the first one won't be till halfway of the season one.

---

Screen opens to the intact wall of the Turtles' old lair, until it is suddenly burst open and the robotic head with the one glowing eye and serrated jaws pops out of the cloud of dust with the high-pitched snarl. The turtles draw out their weapons as the dust cloud fades away.

"My name is Artimesia, but call me Arcee. And right now I remember some frog saying once, "It's not easy being green," but I'm afraid he didn't know the half of it."

The screen zooms towards the turtles as they stand ready for the invaders, with Arcee standing in middle of them, holding up the pair of Tessens in her hands. The screen slowly zooms closer of the turtle in pink till it stops right in front of her frowning face. Arcee slowly narrows her eyes in the hard glare and grits her teeth even harder as she watches the invasion of the off-screen invaders.

"You see, this week has been so far the most wildest week in our lives."

A horde of the small yet vicious robots swarm through of the breached hole into the lair and turn to approach the turtles, snarling menacingly and snapping their jaws at the mutants.

"Few days ago me and my family were under attack by these killer robots..."

Raph lunged forward and kicked the first robot away. Louie swung the chain of his Manriki-gusari, with one robot wrapped up to the chain's other end, around himself and then at the wave of robots, smashing them. Donnie attempted to hit one robot with his Bo-staff, but it managed to seize it in between its jaws. Donnie then lifted both his staff and the robot up before he smashed it against the ground. Mary holds her Naginata over her head with two hands before she swings its blade in sideways down at the attacking robots, decapitating, slicing in half and crippling the robots.

"... that had our old home caved in on us, separating us from out master and forcing us into our very first trip above in the surface..."

Some robots, which were swarming and chewing on the pillars of the lair, caused the massive cave-in, that separates Splinter from the Turtles and destroys their lair.

Raph is then seen climbing along the ladders up to the manhole cover leading to the surface. The turtle in red is then seen removing the cover and peeking out from the manhole before jumping out, shortly followed by the rest of his family.

"... where we faced off the baddest street gang of the east-side."

To the alleyway cornered turtles stare at the gang of ten armed Purple Dragons that block the turtles way out the alleyway.

John: "You're all dead, freaks!"

"However, they were not worthy of their reputation."

The turtles, with their weapons in hands, crouches down before leaping forward to attack the gang, with Mikey in the lead, as the turtle in orange kicks the screen with his foot.

Turtles: "HYAHHHHHHHH!"

"Then we found ourselves in a ninja versus ninja battle against these mysterious yet extremely deadly ninja assassins."

Then we see a bunch of ninjas jumping from the rooftops into the alley and surrounding the turtles, some of them blocking the turtles escape out of the alley.

Leo, locked in the two-on-one sword fight with two ninjas on top of the rooftop of the loading dock, exchanged several blows with both of them while blocking and deflecting several other blows. Dom, with the Kusarigamas' chains wrapped around of his wrists, pulled the pair of ninjas holding from the chains towards him and flipped towards them to deliver the kicks with his feet to their chests. Fighting two ninjas, Donnie blocked a couple strikes with his Bo before he smacked the first one in the chest and tripped the second one, making him fall over. One ninja attempted the spin kick on Louie, but Louie managed to seize the ninja's leg before he swung him around and then tossed him into his two comrades, knocking them against the wall.

Mikey attempted to strike ninja with his Nunchucks, but he blocked his attacks repeatedly with his Tonfa. Another ninja came in and forced Mikey to go into defensive mode. Following 'disarm and attack' technique, Arcee sliced with her Tessens the ninja's incoming staff into three pieces before she gave a direct kick to the ninja's stomach. Facing few ninjas armed with staves, Mary swung her Naginata's haft from left to right and back to block and deflect incoming strikes from the ninjas' staves while also ducking under of several blows. Raph, surrounded by three ninjas, dodged or blocked several of the ninjas's punches and kicks they tried on him, before turtle in red eventually spin-kicked each ninja away from him.

"Outnumbered and outmatched, we barely escaped with our lives inside of the armored car we hijacked..."

The turtles withdrew into the back of the armored car with Donnie on the wheel, as the turtle in purple drove the car out of the alley, knocking down the dumpster bin as they hit the road.

"...before we were reunited with out master, who had during of our absence found a new place to live."

And after the wild car ride, the turtles reunite with Master Splinter, who takes them to the secret underground cavern, where the turtles decide to settle in.

Mikey: "This is beyond awesome!"

"We also found out that these killer robots called Mousers were build by some whacko scientist named Baxter Stockman to purge the city from the rat problem."

Later, the turtles and Splinter are watching from the multiple screens of their TV-set the press conference, that showed the African-American scientist going by name Baxter Stockman, smirking proudly at the mutants from the screen while holding in his hands the robot called Mouser, that is identical similar to the ones that trashed their lair.

The turtles narrow their eyes in suspicion.

"Of course we didn't believe this to be the reason for the Mousers' entire existence, so we had Donnie to repair one and we followed it through of the sewers to find their source..."

The turtles are then seen running and following the repaired Mouser down the sewer tunnel with the pipes on the walls and ceiling.

"...until we were suddenly attacked by the battalion of the 'evolved' versions of the Mousers."

Soon, the turtles find themselves surrounded by the army of 'evolves' Mousers.

Leo swung both his Katanas down on from either side approaching Mousers, slicing from two their heads off. Mikey wrapped his Nunchaku's chain around the Mouser's neck and brought it down to the ground, before he pulled it up and slammed it against two from behind attacking Mousers, wrecking them. Arcee spun around to her left while swinging her Tessens in arch upward as two Mousers flew over her head, slicing the robots in half vertically. Dom thrusted his Tonfas' into two Mousers' mouths, lifted them up in the air and then tossed them at the three other Mousers, knocking them all over.

Elsewhere, a young red-haired woman, April O'neil is seen cornered in the boarded sewer tunnel by eight Mousers, that move closer to kill her.

April: "NOOOOOO!"

"And by unexpected coincidence, we ran into and successfully rescued the lady called April O'Neil in the trouble."

Before the first Mouser could harm her, Louie's Manriki-gusari's weighted chain wrapped around of the Mouser's neck before turtle in black pulled it away from April. Donnie bashed the second Mouser's head in with his Bo-staff. Mary split the third Mouser's body in two with her Naginata. Mikey knocked the head off from the fourth Mouser with his Nunchaku. Dom bashed the fifth Mouser's head in with his Tonfa. Leo decapitated the sixth Mouser with his Katana. Arcee sliced the seventh Mouser's head in half with her Tessen. And lastly, Raph threw one of his Sasi directly to the last one's eye.

"I have to admit it, I'm a bit nervous of being this close to a human being."

After the fight, the turtles stare down at April from the shadows, until Mikey and Arcee step out.

Mikey: "HI! How ya doin'?"

Arcee: "Are you alright, ma'am?"

At the sight of the turtles. April gasps in surprise before she faints against the boards. Mikey then picked April up in bridal style.

"And this whole thing raises one very big question."

Mikey: "Yeah! Can we keep her?"

"No! That was not what I meant, Mikey! The question was... Uh... as I was saying... Uh... Ugh! You know what? Never mind! Let's just get in the show already."

(The screen pulls away from New York City with couple spot lights waving above of it. Then a four green letters forming the word TMNT towers over the city.)
"TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES"

(The screen rises to the edge of the roof, on which was standing eight green shadowy humanoid creatures with the turtle-like features. Two of them were crouching down and all of them had by colors individual ninja masks; One had blue, second one had turquoise, third one red, fourth one white, fifth one pink, sixth one black, seventh purple and the last one orange. As the spot lights passes them, all eight turtles then leap off the edge of the roof.)
"TURTLES COUNT IT OFF"

(The screen then splits from right to left into four narrow screens.)
"ONE, TWO"

(Raphael is seen making couple of flips; one over the fence and one towards the screen, before he delivers the kick at the screen, blackening it for a second.)
"NINJUTSU ACTION"
(TURTLES!)

(Widely grinning Michalengelo is seen standing on top of the large green armored car that's speeding along the street, while spinning his Nucnhacku wildly in the air.)
"IT'S A SHELL OF THE TOWN!"

(As the turtle in orange leaps off, the armored car flies in arc over the street before landing back to the ground. Then its back doors open up and two of the turtles, Raphael and the turtle in black, rocket out of the car in the backs of red and avocado green bikes before skidding them sideways to a stop.)

(In the alleyway, next to the blue armored car, the eight turtles crouch down before leaping to attack towards the camera, with the turtle in orange taking the lead and kicks the screen with his foot.)
"TURTLES COUNT IT OFF"

(The screen splits into two horizontal screen: the upper screen shows a blue-masked face with into a glare narrowed eyes while lower shows eight turtles standing in line in front of the gray-furred humanoid rat dressed in the brown robe, Master Splinter by name.)
(In the next one, lower screen shows a purple-masked face with lightly frowned glare while upper shows Master Splinter swinging his wooden staff down at the couple of attacking robots.)
("ONE!")
"LIVE BY THE CODE OF THE MARTIAL ARTS"

(In the third one, upper screen shows a red-masked face with the deep frown, while the lower shows a large and muscular blonde-haired man leading a group of silhouetted street gang members from the ablaze background towards the screen)
(In the fourth one, the lower screen shows a orange-masked face with the soft stare, while the upper one shows a same large and muscular man sneering at the camera, before he throws a punch towards the screen.)
("TWO!")
"NEVER FIGHT UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE STARTS"

(A red-haired young woman, named April O'Neil, is then seen winking at the camera from the cockpit of the helicopter with the rope hanging from its undercarriage, which she flies past of the blue tower with the Japanese palace on top of it. On top of it, two turtles, Donatello and the turtle in white are seeing battling six ninjas on the edge, until they're knocked off the building. Falling down, the turtle in white grabs from the helicopter's rope with one hand and grabs with his free one from Donnie's hand, cutting his falling, and they're both lifted up in the air.)
("THREE!")
"ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT"

(In the dark alley, the eight turtles are standing shell to shell in middle of the bright spotlight, while they're surrounded by the dozens and dozens of in the darkness standing and armed ninjas that keep coming from the darkness and rooftops above of the alley. The turtles fearlessly demonstrate their weapon skills with their weapons before taking their respective battle stances.)
("FOUR!")
"IF ALL ELSE FAILS, THEN IT'S TIME TO KICK BUTT!"

(Screen rises up to the tall buildings.)
(Michelangelo jumps from the right, making the flip in the air while spinning his Nunchucks wildly. At the same time from the left jumps the female turtle in pink with her legs bent under, while spinning around and swinging her sharp Tessens around.)
(Then Donatello jumps from the left, spinning his Bo-staff with his left hand while swinging it over his head before grabbing it with both hands and bringing it down hard. At the same time, the female turtle in turquoise jumps from the right, spinning her Naginata in her right hand, before spinning around and sending a horizontal slash with her weapon's blade forward.)
(Leonardo then jumps from the left with his Katanas crossed, before he pulls them to the sides as he delivers the kick forward with his foot. At the same time, the turtle in white jumps from the left, spinning his Tonfas in his hands before thrusting his right Tonfa forward like a stabbing movement.)
(Raphael then jumps from the left and crossed his arms in front of him before pulling them back, making his Sais to flash. Right after him, the turtle in black jumps from the right, holding his left Butterfly sword in front of him and his right Butterfly sword over his head, before swinging them forward to slash with them the air in front of him.)
(Then a 14-year-old girl with purple-dyed hair styled in pigtails, and dressed in a sleeveless, teal hoodie and red baggy jeans jumps from the left after the turtle in black and throws the punch towards the screen with her left fist. Then a tall blue-haired and -eyed man with the hockey mask on his face jumps from the right and whacks the screen with his hockey stick.)

(Leo, with swords in hands, is then seen landing onto one ninja's back, knocking him down.)
(Donnie is then seen whacking another ninja off his feet and out with his Bo.)
(Raph is then seen blocking the third ninja's kick with his left arm while holding his Sai in his fist.)
(Mikey is then seen punching fourth in the face with his right fist while holding a Nunchuck.)

(Turtle in black is then seen blocking seventh's sword with his left hand's sword while thrusting his right towards the ninja as if to stab him in the chest)
(Turtle in pink is then seen with her arms crossed in front of her white holding her opened pink Tessens in her hands.)
(Raph is then seen again, this time surrounded by several ninjas, until he spins himself around with his hands clenched into fist around of his Sais' hilts spread out, knocking all ninjas away from him.)

(Cut to the wide shot, where seven silhouetted turtles are seen jumping and flipping along the rooftops, water towers and chimneys, as the camera follows them. One of the turtles swings over them by the chain with one hand like Tarzan. Then two narrower screens appear to above and beneath of the rooftop screen, showing the repeating line of turtles in blue's and purple's masked faces above and the line of turtles in red and orange's masked faces beneath, moving to the opposite direction.)
"I LOVE BEING' A..."
"I LOVE BEING' A..."
"I LOVE BEING' A TURTLE!"

(The turtles then land to the ground in front of the building. Leonardo is in the middle, Donatello and the turtles in turquoise and white are in his right side while Michelangelo and the turtles in black and pink are in his left side. All seven then ran towards the camera that moved between of Leo's legs.)
"TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!"

(Then, Raphael races over the building in the back of the bike and jumps off it towards and past the camera.)
"TURTLES COUNT IT OFF:"

(The screen splits into four narrow screens again, this time from left to right.)
"FIVE, SIX"
(In the first one, the female turtle in turquoise (named Marietta) is pointing her Naginata's blade at the screen. In the second one, the turtle in black (named Lorenzo) is holding his Butterfly-swords upside down in his arms, while holding the left one horizontally in front of his face and right one over his head.)
"SEVEN, EIGHT"
(In the third one, the turtle in white (named Domenico) is holding his Tonga-holding arms crossed over his chest. In the fourth one, the female turtle in pink (named Artemisia) is holding her right hand's Tessen opened in front of her face, partially covering them behind of her weapon, while pointing with her left closed one at the screen.)
(TURTLES!)

(Marietta is seen standing in the dead end, spinning around while spinning her Naginata with her hands in front of her, before she pulls it behind her shell-back and shoots her left hand forward as two two hands, one holding a knife and one a fire-axe, appears from both sides of the screen
"AT NIGHTFALL, WE'RE COMING"
(TURTLES!)

(Lorenzo is seen riding on top of the subway car, with his Butterfly swords sunk to its roof. And as he approaches the camera, the turtle in black jumps forward towards the camera and kicks the screen into black.)
"OUT OF MANHOLE"
(TURTLES!)

(Domenico is then seen stabbing with his left and then right Tonfa at one practice dummy in his right to the head, knocking it back. Then he turns around and spin-kicks the other dummy in his left in the head with his right foot. Then the turns around and whack the camera with his left Tonfa.)
"BEWARE, THE BADDIES!"
(TURTLES!)

(The screen pulls back, showing Artemisia skating with the pair of pink roller skates along the rooftop as she is being by the dozen ninjas with the swords. Four more ninjas appear from the sides of the screen, chasing after the skating turtle in pink. Arcee peeks over her left shoulder at them, smirks and then picks up the pace, skating into the camera.)
"MUTANTS NINJAS ARE ON THE MOVE!"

(Arcee then skates towards a pretty large ninja with the sword held up and ready to strike (with her pursuers' running feet showing in the sides of the screen). However, as the large ninja tries to strike at the turtle in pink horizontally, she grabs from both of his wrists, spins around and throws him over her shoulder at her pursuers. The ninja flies towards the camera face-first.)

(Arcee then turns around and somersaults over the edge of the building. The screen then moves down in front of with the wooden boards boarded doorway, before the same green armored truck - with Domenico in the driver's seat and Marietta in the passenger's seat - smashes through it, allowing the turtle in pink to land onto its roof.)

(Screen then turns to the back-doors of the truck as it is chased by two ninjas on motorbikes, until the back-doors of the truck slam open and Lorenzo jumps out with the barrel-roll, landing on his shell to the street, somersaulting back to his feet and then lunging at the ninjas, knocking them both off the bikes as he flies face-first at the camera.)
"TURTLES COUNT IT OFF"

(The screen splits into two horizontal screens again: the upper screen shows a turquoise-masked face with lightly frowned glare, while lower screen shows Arcee, Leo and Mary in the snowy woods, staring at the five silhouetted canine-like humanoid beings with various colored face-paints (silver, dark blue, light purple, red and dark purple) standing in line. They all hit their fists with their fist before bowing.)
(In the next one, lower screen shows a white-masked face with deep frown while upper shows the silhouetted canine-like humanoid with the light blue face-paint wielding a single Kama in its right had while fighting two hunter-looking men with the hunting rifles: It kicks the one behind of its back in the chest with its left foot, then elbows the second one in the face with its right elbow. It then turns to and snarls at the camera before slicing it half with its Kama.)
("FIVE!")
"WE'LL ALWAYS FIGHT AGAINST THE EVIL!"

(In the third one, upper screen shows a black-masked face with the wide eyes, while the lower shows Lorenzo and the same purple-haired and ponytailed teenager human girl standing back to shell-back in middle of the ring of the silhouetted enemies.)
(In the fourth one, the lower screen shows a pink-masked face with the soft stare, while the upper one shows Louie and purple-haired girl turning to each other and taking each other from hands, before the turtle in black swings the girl around him in the air. As the turtle swings the girl towards the camera, the girl kicks the screen with her foot.)
("SIX!")
"WE COME, STRIKE HARD, AND VANISH INTO NIGHT"

(A next shot shows two buildings standing next to each other, until Donatello and Marietta appear from the left side of the screen and jump over the gap between the buildings (with Marietta pole-vaulting over the gap with her Naginata). Then four turtles, led by Leonardo, followed by Raphael and Artemisia and lastly Domenico, are seen rushing forward along the streets, weapons in hands. Michelangelo and Lorenzo are then seen following them right behind: the former by zipping along the rope with his Nunchaku and the latter by swinging by the chain while spinning the other one wildly around with his free hand.
("SEVEN!")
"AS A TEAM, WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHER'S SHELLS."

(In the next shot, we see all eight turtles standing under the light in the darkness, with their backs turned to the camera as it pulls away from them. As they all turn around to the camera, they draw out their weapons and take their individual battle-stances, ready to face whoever is standing in front of them.)
("EIGHT!")
"AND WE'LL NEVER LEAVE OUR BUDDIES BEHIND!"

(Out of darkness appears Baxter Stockman, glaring menacingly at the camera while being surrounded by the dozens of menacing-looking Mousers. Stockman points at the camera with his finger and the Mousers lunge forward.)
(Camera moves to the right, showing a large pale-skinned, bald-headed and broad-shouldered man in the black ninja-garb, with the left side of his face viciously scarred. Backed up by the group of ninjas behind him, the scarred man draws out a sword from his X-shaped scabbard in his back and raises it with both hands up and next to the scarred side of his faces, pointing its tip at the camera while glaring himself darkly at the camera.)
(Camera moves to the right again, this time showing a strange female creature with the pale skin, red eyes, long elf-like pointy ears, slightly hooked nose and the long-black hair, and who was dressed in a complete black tunic, pants and slippers, including a long black elf-hat like hat. With the mischievous grin on his face, the creature waved its hands over, followed by the flow of glowing various-colored stars in her left hand and the various-colored lightning in her right hand, as if it was the magic.)
(Camera moved to the right once more, this time showing a mobster-like barrel-chested man with the thick eyebrows, mustache, double chin and tidy haircut. He was dressed in the blue shirt and a red black-spotted cravat, over which he wore a mafia-like olive green suit with the golden stripes. He had a same-stylish pants and the shiny black-tipped brown shoes. He wore on his head a grayish-brown fedora hat and he had in his mouth a cigar. Backed up by several tough-looking guys in the mafia-like suits and fedora-hats - all armed with various guns or melee weapons - the man took the cigar out of his mouth and, with the nasty sneer, he pointed with his finger forward.)
(The screen turns back to the turtles, showing Donatello whacking several Mousers away with his staff while Raphael lands on one, crushing it, while stabbing his Sais through of two other Mousers.)
(Domenico then moves to stab with his left Tonfa in the ninja's guts, before he turns around and whacks with his right one in the second ninja's chest, knocking him away, after which Artemisia slices the next ninja's staff in half with her Tessens before spinning around and kicking him in the chest with her left foot.)
(The strange pointy-eared creature then flies over to strike them with with the magical lightnings, only for Marietta to lunge at her from the air and land a kick to her side, knocking the creature off the air.)
(Three mafia thugs then, one in the white shirt, black cravat, turquoise suit and reddish-brown fedora-hat, one in the black shirt, green cravat, the brown suit and with the golden fedora-hat and the large broad-shouldered one with the thick eyebrows, shaven face and dressed in the checkered blue-white shirt, red black-spotted bow tie, dark purple suit and dark blue bowler hat, rush towards the turtles, only for the turquoise-suited thug in the left to be snap-kicked away by Michelangelo, brown-suited thug in the right to be kicked in the guts by Lorenzo and the big thug in front to be kicked away by Leonardo, who spins around before crossing his swords in front of his face.)

(Cut to the wide three-leveled shot, where two silhouetted turtles are first seen running along the sewer pipe: One turtle is on foot while another turtle is skating along the pipe's rounded walls.)
"I LOVE BEING' A..."

(Shot moves upwards to the street level, where three silhouetted turtles are running along the streets: One is running on the foot, while other is riding on the bike and third is hopping along both the driving and parked cars' rooftops. Then two narrower screens appear to above and beneath of the rooftop screen, showing the repeating line of turtles in turquoise's and white's masked faces above and the line of turtles in black's and pink's masked faces beneath, moving to the opposite direction.)
"I LOVE BEING' A..."

(Shot moves upwards again, to the roof level, where two silhouetted turtles are either jumping or pole-vaulting along the rooftops.)
"I LOVE BEING' A TURTLE!"

(Three turtles (Raphael in the left, Leonardo in the middle and Domenico in the right) are seen running towards the camera along the streets. Then Artemisia and Michelangelo jumps out of the open manholes into the streets and join the run next to Raph and Dom. Then they're joined by Marietta and Donatello, who land down from the rooftops to Leo's both sides. All seven then ran towards the camera that moved between of Leo's legs.)
"TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!"

(Then, Lorenzo jumps off the building towards the camera, spinning the chain wildly above his head before throwing it away and then swings by it over the camera in Spiderman-style.)
"TURTLES COUNT IT OFF:"

(A small square screen then appears from the left, showing Leonardo's shadowy yet calm-looking face. Another appears next to it from above, showing Donatello's shadowy yet determined-looking face.)
"ONE! TWO!"

(Third appears from beneath, showing Michelangelo's shadowy goofy-like face. Then the fourth appears from the right, showing Raphael's shadowy yet fierce-looking face with the gritted teeth.)
"THREE! FOUR!"

(A fifth square then screen then appears from the left, showing Marietta's shadowy yet calm-looking face. sixth then appears next to it from above, showing Domenico's shadowy yet deeply frowning face.)
"FIVE! SIX!"

(Seventh appears from beneath, showing Lorenzo's shadowy wildly hilarious-looking face. Then final eights appears from the right, showing Artemisia's shadowy yet determined-looking face with the smile.)
"SEVEN! EIGHT!"
(TURTLES!)

(All eight turtles are seen jumping down from the tall blue tower with the red Japanese palace on top of it, which towers over all the other buildings of the town. With the weapons in hands, the turtles spin in a circle (First Leonardo, then Marietta, then Raphael, then Lorenzo, then Donatello, then Domenico, then Michelangelo and finally Artemisia) as they fall towards the camera)
"THERE'S NO ONE BETTER"
(TURTLES!)

(In the ledge of the same tower, that is above of the blood-red three-toed symbol in middle of the bright light blue circle, a menacing-looking man in the full Samurai-looking armor and helmet looks down after them, as his black cape floats in the wind and the lightning flashes in the sky behind him. The camera moves closer of his helmet-covering head, before the man turns to the camera and raises his left arm with the gauntlet armed with two sharp claws.)
"WATCH OUT FOR THE SHREDDER"
(TURTLES!)

(The turtles are then seen standing in middle of the rooftop. With the weapons in hands, they briefly demonstrate their weapons-skills before taking their individual fighting poses: Donatello is seen standing in the middle, pointing his staff's end at the camera, while Raphael and Lorenzo are standing in his right, Marietta and Michelangelo are standing in his left and Domenico, Artemisia and Leonardo are standing behind of them.)
"THEY'RE LIKE NO OTHERS!"
(TURTLES!)

(The turtles are seen riding or skating on the various human equipment along the underground tunnel: Donnie was in the lead, wheeling with his purple-gray foldaway bike as he rode past the camera. Artemisia followed him afterwards on her own turquoise tuned dirt-bike, waving at the camera. She was followed by Leonardo on foldaway kick scooter with the blue board, hopping over the handlebar with his hands. He was then followed by Domenico on the white-tuned road bicycle, who made the high backward flip over the camera. After them, Raphael and Artemisia were roller skating along the wall of the tunnel with their red roller blades and pink roller-skates. Lorenzo then skated after them with his oversized green and black skateboard pair of rocket boosters and he was followed by Michelangelo, who skated along the tunnel's wall with his orange skateboard, going higher and higher along the wall before he jumped off it, landing in front of the camera with the smirk before skating away.)
"THOSE TEENAGE SIBLINGS!"

(First Donatello, then Domenico, then Leonardo, then Marietta, then Raphael, then Lorenzo, then Michelangelo, and finally Artemisia landed onto the rooftop with weapons in hands.)
"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!"
"FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!"

(Either spinning or waving their weapons, the turtles then charged forward towards the camera, with Leonardo taking the lead and slashing his swords forward.)
"TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES"

Then the logo of "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" appears, with the silhouetted figures of the eight turtles with the glowing eyes behind of it.
"TURTLES! TURTLES!"

=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003=
=Attack of the Mousers Part 1=

Following their successful rescue, the turtles had decided to take April back to their lair for safety, even if pessimistic Dom was highly against the whole idea, though his protests were simply ignored.

Splinter, of course, wasn't pleased at all that his sons and daughters had left from the lair in defiance of his earlier ban. He was even more displeased when he learned that they had even brought a stranger -a human being - into their lair, thus putting the secret of their existence in jeopardy.

The turtles quickly explained to Master Splinter what had happened in the sewers during of their trip and reasoned with their father that they had no other choice but to bring April here, since they had no knowledge of where she even lived. Other reason was to justify their actions was that in their lair, April would be safe in case she was still targeted for death.

Feeling pity for April, Arcee particularly begged Splinter with all her reason and power to allow April to stay and rest in the lair until she has fully recovered from her exhausting and possibly traumatic experience.

Eventually, a reluctant Splinter was persuaded to allow April to stay and recover... but the old rat master still wanted their 'guest" to be kept under the watchful eye for the sake of precaution.

Having studied medicine from the books and medical shows for several years back in their own lair, Arcee took April under her care and proceed to check April's health and physical condition in case if one of those "evolved" Mousers had managed to cause any severe physical damage a long before they had arrived to the scene or if she had any other injuries what needed to be treated.

Turtle in pink checked their guest from all the places where her discarded lab coat was ripped open, no doubt by the Mousers, and was surprised to find out that despite her slightly bruised condition, she had miraculously survived from getting the severe and, in worst case, even lethal bite wounds from the Mousers, unlike those poor rats, whose cruel deaths she had witnessed in the teeth of those blasted Mousers in TV yesterday.

"Shell! You're one tough woman, you know. Who knows how long you managed to make it without getting bitten." Arcee muttered to herself, really impressed of April's almost intact condition.

After checking her through, the turtle in pink informed to others that their guest was alright but just passed out from everything she'd gone through tonight and that she needed now some rest to recover. And so, the turtles had left April to sleep through the rest of the night on the couch of their entertainment zone.

Only Arcee volunteered to remain by her patient's side on watch over her for the rest of the night.

And first thing in the morning, the turtles had gathered around of the couch, looking down at April, whom they had found still asleep on the couch.

Soon, April started to wake up, a bit confused of what had happened yesterday.

"Oh, man. What a dream. Turtle-men fighting killer-robots. Did I fell in sleep watching TV Again?" April sleepily mumbled to herself, as she slowly started to get up after finding herself sleeping on the couch.

"That was the..." April said as she looked up and snapped immediately awake at the surprising sight in front of her. She gasped and froze still when she saw eight humanoid turtles standing in a circle around of her, looking down at her.

"...weirdest thing I've ever seen." April finished as her voice turned into hysteric and started to shake in fear while staring one by one at each of the turtles.

Mikey even winked at her before letting "Tsk, Tsk." out of his mouth.

April then looked around of her, finding herself in middle of the large and strange place.

Mikey decided to speak first, so he went closer of April.

"Hi." Mikey politely greeted, right in front of April's faces.

However...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" April screamed from the top of her lungs, totally freaked out of the turtle standing right in front of her faces.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mikey screamed with the girly voice in response and jumped away from her, totally frightened out.

"Please, don't do that!" Mikey pleaded before he started panting heavily and placed one of his hands over his heart. April's sudden loud and high-pitched scream had caught him totally by surprise. "Geez! I almost jumped outta my shell."

April took a look at one Mikey's hand which he held out and freaked out again.

"It... has... three... fingers!" April stuttered, before she curled into a ball on the couch and placed the pillow - which the turtles had placed beneath of her head when she was still unconscious - over her head and started with still hysteric voice repeatedly chant to herself. "I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep!"

"This isn't going very well." Donnie admitted.

"Hey, c'mon! We don't have much to no practice of talking to humans." Mikey pointed out. "It's gonna take a little time before she gets used to us."

"Mikey's got a point here." Arcee agreed.

"Then how long you think it will last before she really does?" Louie asked from both Mikey and Arcee. Both the turtles in orange and pink responded merely by shrugging their shoulders in "I dunno know" manner.

Dom, who was standing in background along with Raph, shook his head in irritation.

"See, guys? I told you. This is her way to show us the gratitude once she wakes up. I told you that this was the bad idea but none of you shell-for-brains listened to me." the turtle in white complained.

"Well, would've you just left her where we found her or dropped her off to some street corner in the surface, Dom?" Mary challenged. "We do not even know where she lives. So this was the best what we could've done for her."

"Yeah. Besides, we decided on this all together. Well, all except you, Dom. You never even participated in making the decision. all what you did was just protesting it incessantly." Louie remarked as he glared at Dom with accusing look, making the turtle in white rub his back sheepishly.

"Guys, easy! Give her some air and time to get accustomed to us!" Arcee demanded.

However, April nothing more than kept chanting "I'm in sleep" repeatedly and endlessly.

She once dared to peek from beneath of the pillow to see that was she just seeing a things, only to realize that the turtles were still there. And so, April wrapped the pillow around her head and kept chanting that very same frantic line. "I'm so, so in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep!"

Mikey then yawned, starting to feel an urge to take the nap after listening April's frantic chant over and over. "Man, she's making me sleepy. And to think that we just woke up."

Arcee then decided to speak to April... or at least try to calm her down.

"Hey, take it easy. You're safe. We are not gonna hurt you." Arcee said gently, as she reached out her hand to gently grab from April's right hand.

However, April slapped her hand away. "No! Don't touch me, freak! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep! I'm in sleep!"

"OW!" Arcee yelped and pulled her hand back. The turtle in pink looked at April in surprise and a bit offended of her understandable yet unnecessary reaction and the rude words.

"Geez! No need to be rude!" she exclaimed, rubbing the back of her hand with her other hand.

April kept repeating the same "I'm in sleep" for a some time, until Raph's patience had finally come to its end.

"Ugh! Enough of trying to make the acquaintance and showing the gratitude. Let's get down to business!" Raph snarled as made his way to next of April.

"Raph, don't...!" Leo started, fearing that the hotheaded turtle in red might do something unexpected... and ugly... what to regret later.

However, Raph ignored him.

"Hey, you." Raph said as he patted April's shoulder, getting her attention.

"What?" April asked frantically, uncovering her head from under of the pillow.

"What do you know about those... Mouser-robot thingies?" Raph asked politely, much to Leo's surprise and relief.

"Yeah. Just breath nice and slow... and tell everything what do you know about them. Please?" Louie added politely, with the smirk and puppy-dog eyes at the end.

April, still unsure, slowly removed the pillow from top of her head and wrapped her arms around of it like holding the teddy bear for comfort and protection.

"Well, first I thought that they were meant to cleaning the city's rat-problem, but then I got suspicious when Dr. Stockman said..." April explained, until she cut herself off as she realized what she was doing. "Oh no... now I'm talking to... to... to it."

"To what?" Leo asked.

"I'm talking to... TO YOU!" April exclaimed.

"Lady, there's nothing wrong about talking to somebody. It's rude not to talk to anybody." Arcee told her.

"And what you were saying about Stockman? Go on, please." Louie said, encouraging April to continue.

However, April ignored him as she put her finger on her chin, as if she was considering the whole situation around of her.

"Alright, April. Calm down." April muttered, starting to talk herself. "You're talking to a giant three-fingered turtle, but there can't be such of things like eight giant three-fingered turtles. The only logical explanation to this is that you're dreaming, so everything is okay." April said to herself before taking the fake smile - that looked in the turtles eyes' a pretty silly one - before she started to wave at the turtles.

"Hello." she said, trying her best to hide the fact how scared she actually still was.

"Well... uh... hello, April." Leo said back, unsure that how April was still reacting to this situation. "How are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Everything is... absolutely... great." April assured, laughing nervously.

Louie raised the eye brown and started to rub his right temple with two of his fingers. "Are you sure? You look like you've seen the ghost or something."

"Oh, no need to worry about me. As I said, everything is just fine." April assured nervously again, until she gasped in surprise when Master Splinter suddenly revealed himself to April by walking past of his sons and daughters.

"Then perhaps you're ready to answer some questions of ours." Splinter said gently, even under of his usual stern and stoic look.

However, April was freaking out once again... this time at the sight of the giant talking rat right in front of her.

"YOU... YOU'RE..." April stuttered in shock, until she couldn't take it anymore and passed out on the coach again, much to Splinter and the turtles dismay.

"Oh, great. Here we go again." Mary said in dismay, shaking her head.

Leo put his arms against his temples as well and slightly shook his head.

"No offense, but... you sure have a way with the ladies, Master Splinter." Donnie said to Splinter with the hint of sarcasm.

"Shell yeah! It confirms perfectly the old stereotype thingy... 'people sometimes fear the rats.'" Mikey joked with the chuckle. However, Mikey earned a hard glare from his father who was less than amused of his youngest's son's joke. Seeing the stern look on his father's face, Mikey gulped nervously and hurriedly backed away before Splinter would come up with an idea of punishing him with the whack of his staff to the turtle's head.

The turtles and Splinter then turned back to April.

"Now what we're supposed to do?" Donnie asked.

"I don't know. Let's nudge her, I guess." Leo suggested.

"Should we just wait 'till she wakes up?" Mary suggested.

"And then what? Go the same routine through again?" Dom sarcastically questioned Mary's suggestion.

"Well, somehow we have to make her feel a lots of easier among of us or this will never work." Mary shot back.

"Well, better that than your incessant nag-nag-nag choral song, bro." Louie joked.

"Shut up!" Dom snapped.

"I'll snap her out of it." Raph impatiently volunteered.

"You want me to go to fetch bucket of cold water from the pool?" Louie asked.

"Nah! Too old-fashioned way to wake someone up, Louie. I'll shake her wake in no time." Raph responded.

"Raphael, no!" Splinter said strictly, banning Raph from using any rough methods to wake April up. "We better leave her alone 'till she wakes up again. Then we'll start to work this out."

As this went on, Mikey withdrew himself from the situation and fetched his MP3 PLAYER which he had named "Game Guy" from the table and lied down onto the sun lounger.

"Somebody get me when she wakes up, okay?" Mikey asked as he put the earphones into his ears and put the music on. The turtle in orange then closed his eyes and relaxed while enjoying the music's rhythm.

Arcee, feeling tired for watching over April for all the night, yawned and stretched herself.

"Same words for me. I gotta clear up my mind for a moment." Arcee said, as she turned around and headed to her record player that was standing next to her personal Japanese-styled carpet.

Once there, Arcee sat down in middle of the carpet and crossed her legs. The turtle in pink then selected something calm and relaxing from her song records before finding one ('Alive' (2002), sang by Jennifer Lopez), which she put it on her player and put the song on. With the song on, Arcee then went into a meditation pose and started meditating.

To Be Continued.
