Disclaimer: I do not repeat DO NOT own TMNT and crew in any way cause they belong to Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird (Only knows as the Greatest Guys on Earth!) while other characters like Sally and many more that happen in this fanfic rightfully belongs to me and only ME!

Announcement from our writer: Hey! How's everyone doing? Me? Well, I talk it about that later. Right now, let's get a few things out of the way, thank you!

From the reviews/PMs that I got, I will answer them:

To erica phoenix 16

I liked that mini vision that Sally had earlier in the chapter.
If only she would tell her family about them.
BTW, will we ever see the Phoenix family again?
We haven't seen them since the second chapter.
Thanks for updating. :)

If you mean the vision of what possible could be her mother, then yeah.
And she will tell them in due time. I think it will happen in this season. Just keep your eyes out.
We will. Need to find when the right time for them to appear is. Maybe sometime this season or the next.

To turtlelovemikey3000

Oh my god Nano is next. That is one of my favorite episodes right now next to Things change.
This is very good. I loved the part Mikey jokes and said I'm pretty one! That cracks me up so much.
This is very amazing and beautiful.
Keep up the good work. This is not good this is a excellent level nine Booyakasha.
This is amazing..Sally and Mikey, are my favorite.
Good job on this my friend.
Beautiful!
Have a great day!
-turtle-lover-

Really? I didn't know you like this episode. And the first one is mine too as well.
Yeah! Mikey does crack you.
*sniffs* Thankyou!
I was not expecting a fan to say something like that! And I did see you did get that from the 2012 series. Love it!
Sal is your favourite now?! I don't think the words "thank you" is big enough for what you said!
Thanks! And you too!

To SulliMike23

You should write a chapter specifically for Sally. Give her the opening narration for once.

I am planning for chapters specific for the young kunoichi. She had one at the very first chapter if you haven't already read it yet. So far, I haven't planned anything for Season 1 but I have for Season 2-4. And maybe something special for Season 5…

To ReginaDC21
I'll be honest. I'm debating on creating shared profile with my younger sister, BulletWitch1985 one of these days, and I plan on having my own 'TMNT with human sister' type story to kick things off with a Sly Cooper fic too. But that's on a later date...
So far, I am loving how you've included Sally into the episodes of the 2003 TMNT cartoon (personal favorite of mine). I just love her personality and her relationship with our favorite turtles.
Looking forward to what you've got in mind for the 'Nano' episode.

Sounds good. I'm working by myself when it comes to my hobbies. But working together seems like a good idea. I might think about that in the future.

I know! Thank you! It was really hard to come up with a character like her. There were a number of names, ideas for her origins, etc. But still, I'm touched by all this, so, thanks!

Well, that chapter is coming right up!

And thanks for grapejuice101, SulliMike23, biganimefan84, & HeroxPartnerfan96 for adding me and the story to their favourites. Love to have fans to come around all the time.

Here comes the fifth episode. Let's roll out!

(Manhattan, NY – unknown time)

Normally, no one should start their adventures in the city's dump. But for the team of five ninjas, they had no choice. Just early, they got into a tussle with something that they have never seen before. And now, they were looking for it before it causes any more trouble. But in order to avoid any spoilers about earlier, they are right now pretty much focus on their own situation.

The teens own monster vehicle – the Battle Shell – has come up to the entrance of the dump and smashed the wire gate open. They all now entered the junk yard. Any particular reason why? Well, the purple turtle would like to take another shot at narrating. To help the viewers at home to keep up to speed of their adventures.

My name is Donatello, and I'm usually into building things.

The headlights on the truck was still flashing as the smelliest area is getting darker; entering the nightlife. When things in life are at a crisis, the driver would usually drive at a speedy rate. Just like now. Why?

Because they were being chased by a giant junk monster in the size of a three story building. Nothing out of the ordinary for the group of ninjas. Safe to say that Donnie here was not the one responsible for creating this…thing!

The tall monster continues to stomp his way around; chasing after the speeding armoured car. It was now on its tail as it bends down, while still running. It manages to grab hold of the vehicle; clamping it down. The truck itself is now accelerating on the spot. The teens are trapped.

This particular thing, I'd like to take apart real fast…

It was Mikey's turn to drive. Since when did they let the orange turtle drive? He would have no trouble agreeing with Raph to a little Hit & Run action or Grand Theft Auto style. But he has taken the wheel while Leo and Sally were the only ones in their seats with Raph and Don standing up.

Mikey was doing the best he can to get away from the behemoth, but with it holding the truck down with all its might, there doesn't seem to be a way. Don was holding onto the head-part of the driver's seat; hoping to come up with a strategy to shake the beast off. So far, he has got nothing. He looks behind him; wondering what the giant will do next.

Without giving away, the monster's hand whacks the side of the truck; shaking the ones on their feet and making them fall onto their backs. The trash Godzilla-like creature continues to bang its way; until it has enough force to break the car open and grab its victims.

…before it takes us apart.

Which is something that he and his family does not want!

It was already making a huge dent in one of the compartments as Don looks back to the front. Mikey hits on the gas one more time. Thankfully, the trash robot manages to lose its grip on the truck.

Unfortunately, the ninjas' freedom does not last for very much long. They might be out of the monster's grip just a second ago, but the chase has now resumed as the rubbish behemoth continues to run after the getaway car in pursuit.

(The Lair, Manhattan, NY – 6:45am)

The sun has almost welcomed a new day as it peers over the horizon. It was just like any other day – a nice orange glow filled with warmth and love. Pretty much most of the city's population are up this time of the day. Including this certain girl.

Was there any particular reason why she would be up this early on a Monday? Normally, people are not really fond of Mondays. Including a certain orange, overweight cat. And rather in her own everyday clothes, she was still in her pjs. A black shirt with a loose dark grey short. Her long brown hair was all undone and is resting on her back.

There was something that she actually wanted to try out. That is why she is up so early. From what she has learned from her favourite novels and shows, anyone who has the power of telekinetic or whoever is psychic, they would have the ability to create a Force Field – a special barrier that is made of energy that surrounds the user from physical attacks.

She already knows how to stop things, move them, lift things with the power of her mind and has possess the strength to lift three times the body weight of a car. It would be useful to be able to protect herself in battles as well. Normally, she has never used her powers in an actually battle before.

Just in the middle of her room was a discarded can on the floor. And it was a few meters away from her. Her eyes are glued onto it.

If her theory is correct, she would be able to do these abilities in battle. Even since she has left the Lair to explore the outside world, Sally can tell that her powers have been improving. First, it was the first few visions that were unexpected to her, but still learning. Then, she was able to sense another presence far away in the sewer and learns what the situation was. She was hoping that she was ready for this.

With the can in place, her training was all set. Holding her right hand out in front, her mind begins to focus on the object before her.

Closing her eyes, she starts her training. A second later, her outstretch hand begins to glow. And so does the can. This always happens when she activates one part of her powers. The can itself begins to lift off the stone floor and rise up into the air with no difficulty. Opening her eyes, she sees the results. She wasn't satisfied just yet. It has already done before. It was time to try and test the new skill out.

Putting a self-assured face on, she was ready. Flipping her hand with the palms facing upwards, in a split second, she curled her finger towards her. She was now directing the can to fly at her. And that is why the can is doing.

The object itself was fling in the air and heads straight for Sally. It was time for the other hand. Retracting the right one and puts the left one forward, she focus once more to activate the Force Field.

The can was getting closer. Still no Force Field.

The can was still coming. No sign of a barrier or some sort.

No longer confident and now starting to panic a bit, Sally thrusted her hand forward. Still nothing happened. What is happening? Why is there no Force Field popping up?

In a desperate attempt, she takes her eyes off the can and looks down to her other hand. By the time she quickly thrusted her other hand again, the can was no longer a meter away. It was now a centimetre away. And hits her square on her forehead.

The impact of the can itself gave a bit of a force; causing the human to knock her head backs a bit. The teen gains her balance before she comes in contact with the floor. She closes her eyes; feeling the small sting from the effect. The can has crashed onto the floor.

"Ow…" she moans; rubbing the sightly redness just above her eyes with her right hand.

She was focusing. She was focusing so hard that her brain was about to burst from concentrating too much.

As the pain dies down, she opens her eyes, removes her hand and looks to the crushed item. Good thing she didn't use a bolder or a rock or else, she would be in a lot of pain. Dropping her hand to the side, she walks over to the can, bends down and picks it up. She examines the dented tin in the palm of her hands; disappointed. She signs on defeat.

Well, so much for trying a new ability with no help whatsoever. Man, she would kill for a teacher. Someone who has the experiences in the same field as she does. She already has a ninja master to teach her how to fight physical. This was different.

With every failed result after another, how long will it take for the human to become a master? Maybe in…1000 years or so? Maybe 300. Tops.

"Trying something out?"

Taking her eyes off the can and direct them to the main doorway. There stands leaning up against the doorway with his arms crossed over was a very familiar green turtle with a blue mask and two swords on his back. He must have been there for a few seconds. Probably when she got whacked in the face or something.

Every morning that she sees her best friend brings a smile to her face. But this time, she wasn't in the mood.

"And you know this because…"

"Why else would you be up this early?"

He's got a good point. She also knows that the blue turtle is something up early too. For early morning meditation or practicing his kata.

Leo can tell that she was troubled. And he knows what she needs at the moment. "I'm making some tea. Want some?"

Does Sally need to answer that question? She turns to the turtle and gives a nod.

The sound that was making at the moment was the kettle whistling. Leo was at the counter with two mugs all set. Sally has been resting her arms on the kitchen table for a few minutes now, not taking her eyes off the hands. The same hands that she tried to construct a Force Field. Her mind was focusing during the session, so why didn't it work?

Leo has finished pouring the boiling water in the mugs, each with a tea bag. They both have peppermint tea – Sally's favourite. He grabs hold of them and takes them to the table. The turtle places Sally's pink mug with a purple flower in front of her and takes his blue one as he sits on his chair, just across from the human.

She has not looked up from her hands, but her right one does make its way to the mug in front of her. She grabs hold of the handle and brings it close to her grasp.

"Hey," he spoke. But she didn't look up. She still pictures her face with the same grief look like anyone has. "It will be ok. You'll get the hang of your powers."

A quiet was in the air after Leo spoke. Guess she doesn't want to talk about it. He brings his mug to his lips…

"How?"

Leo hasn't taken a sip of his hot beverage. He looks up to Sally. "How what?" he asked. It may be a stupid question to ask but still.

Sally takes a deep, exasperated breath. "How…am I supposed to get a hang of my powers or any other abilities that I might have in stores, when I don't even have the slightest idea on how to CONTROL THEM?" she raised her voice a little loud, but not too much to wake up the rest of the family. Feeling so frustrated, she grips tightly on her mug; shutting her eyes out.

"I—I know we have Splinter as a Ninja Master but—" she takes a deep breath. She was on the verge to break down. Something she hates most in the entire world. But she holds it in as she presses on. "—but I don't have anyone…for what I'm going through."

Tears were welling up in her eyes. Depression was slowing creeping up her spine. She has been trying for thirteen long years. That is how long she has been in training with her powers for. At the same time is when she and her brothers have started their ninja training. If no-one can tell but Sally was now on the edge of…giving up. Why is she doing this? Who is she doing this for? And why is she doing ninjitsu? Well, she does like to fight and needs to protect herself. But why is a good question.

She was tired. So tired. She just wants to stop all this.

The blue turtle was taken back from this little confession. He feels really bad for his sister. He cannot understand what she is going through. He's a ninja and she's a ninja with powers. He, Sally and their brothers all have a master – trained in ninjitsu – but not for anyone who has supernatural abilities.

Maybe there was something that will give the motivation to learn her lesson from before in order to succeed. Well, Leo got something to say. Sally was taking a nice drink of her peppermint tea; hoping to calm her down.

"Remember when Raph got angry and almost hurt Mikey?"

Sally looks to meet his eyes in annoyance. Gee, Leo. Do you really have to bring up that up so early in the morning?

"After that, during training?"

During training? Oh right! That is when…

"You said I would get my split-kick right, and I did. And I'm sure you would do the same thing with your powers. It just…takes time. And you will get it. You're pretty much the most talented girl that I have ever known."

It was a good thing that her mug was right in front of her face with the support of her two hands. That way, Leo wouldn't be able to see Sally's cheeks heating up behind the cup. He thinks I'm talented? Hearing those words, she would have never heard them coming from someone like him.

Leo wasn't done yet. "And who knows, there might be a teacher out there; waiting for you! But in the meantime, all we can do now…is wait."

Well, she shouldn't be too surprised. Anything that comes from his mouth is always the truth and nothing but the truth. Just a few days ago, Leo was in the same situation. At first, he didn't succeed the move on his first go (but Sally did). But later on in battle, he manages to perfect it. Once they returned home from their mission, Leo shows the move to his father. The rat was nonetheless very proud of him. With much practise and time, he will eventually master the move.

As soon as the blush goes away, Sally puts her beverage down and looks at the contents inside. After hearing the pep talk, she eventually calm down. "You're right," she breathes. She looks to the blue turtle and sweetly smiles at him. "Thanks."

Leo gives her a smile back. "At least you didn't have to nudge me or something."

Sally gives bit of a giggle. She remembers doing that when he failed the move and she didn't. It was great to have someone that she can talk to that she has known for so many years. She does also someone else to talk to outside of the family. And it turns out; she doesn't live to far from here.

They continue to sip their tea just before the others all rises out of their slumbers and to face the day. Because in a few hours, a friend of theirs is going to need some help…

(Manhattan, NY – 7:05am)

The sky still has the warm orange glow in the air. Morning has already kicked in. So, what will the Turtles and Sally's agenda will be today? Well, it all starts in this plain, old warehouse that is out of sight from a couple of buildings, streets and alleyway. It may look like a run-down factory, but it's what on the inside that matters.

The interior is a lot different from the exterior as it some-sort of an ultra-high-tech laboratory. In the centre of the lab is a large cylinder container that holds the subject that the young scientist, Dr Marion Richards, was conducting. She was dressed from head-to-toe in a white jumpsuit that covers her black hair. She wears her glasses but it is not connected with a portable earpiece as it's connected to her jumpsuit on her left ear.

She has been assigned to do a top secret project by the government themselves. What is it that she has been constructing? That is why she is approaching the container as she records her report. She is also carrying a clipboard in case she needs to write any improvement to her project.

"Journal entry 567, U.S. Government, Commission Project," she speaks through the microphone, as she comes to a halt, "codename: Nanotech."

This called Nanotech is basically composed of a swarm of silver nanoscopic robots. Although, their true form is so small, you can't see it from normal eye-view. Right now, they appear to be swirling around as the scientist herself continues to observe. "Experiment proceeding as planned."

Dr. Richard places her clipboard down on an electronic microscope that is built-into the container and places her hands behind her back. "The nanobots continue to work together as a colony," she explains the purpose while the nanobots are still swirling around. The doctor herself then brings her left hand to her chin and rubs it with her index finger, "coordinated by the hive mind contained within the robotic cells."

In short, they act like bees in a colony without a queen with them but still work together as a group. Dr. Richard decided to go for a closer look. As the substances continue to move around in its container, the young genius takes a step forward as she presses a small button on the microscope. The little machine slides up to her shoulders. She leans forward to look through the lens to get a magnified view of these fascinating matters.

From her view, she sees a number of little insect-like tech just swarming around. Just like any bug colony like she said. "The safety restriction is still in place. It cannot disassemble molecules or organic cells, as it will in the future when it performs microscopic operations." That is something that will be very useful in the future of medical research. She takes a step back and looks down to her left. On a small platform there lies a toaster and an alarm clock. It was time for a test to see if this succeeds.

Dr. Richard presses another button on the console. "7:05 A.M., first test of its ability to take apart and reassemble mechanical devices."

Before she tries on something big, she will be doing something smaller before moving on with the next phase. The small platform with the devices moves into the container as a small door closes up behind it and another one opens up in front. That way, the nanobots won't escape.

As the devices come into the container, the nanobots get its attention on them. It was time to get to work. The nanobots comes to the devices and wraps around them and just like what Dr. Richard said, it starts to take apart the toaster and alarm clocks into a number of pieces and swirls around them. Dr. Richard continues to watch the procedure unfold; hoping for some progress and not a fail assessment. If it is successful, then she will be one step closer to changing the face of science forever. If it doesn't,…

The nanobots have now finished constructing and it was…not what Dr. Richard had in mind. No longer back into the toaster and the alarm clock, it has assembled into a tiny, bizarre human-like figure. The scientist was not happy with the results. The little robot human walks towards the glass.

"Ugh. Oh, please. I though thus was fixed." She shakes her head in displeasure. She then shakes her head as she reports the evaluation of her report before rubbing her temples. "The mental structure of the hive mind is equivalent to that of a three-year-old child to facilitate absorbing new information." She was also getting a pounding headache from all this.

When a baby opens its eyes, the first thing it sees would be its mother. Looks like the robot has made this woman its mother. After all, she was the one who created the nanobots. She then sees the robot child finally makes it to the glass and places it make-shift hands on the clear surface; getting a good view on the women and getting its attention. It has got her attention and she was not happy about it.

The scientist moans in disgust. "It's personifying again. Ugh, ridiculous." Another failed assessment. She then pulls out a remote from her back pocket and pressed one of the buttons. This caused zap the poor robot as it screeches for mercy. She does stop torturing the bot; causing it disassembles the devices and reverts back into its mechanical smog. She must have installed some kind of software that zaps the nano if it is not following proper order. The nano is now huddle into the corner; scared of the scientist of what she did.

But she didn't care. All she cares was to complete the assessment. "This personality glitch will have to be eradicated as soon as possible," she said; rubbing her temple. But that's not the only thing that needs to be eradicated. "Ugh, wish I could do the same to this headache. Oh, I need a cup of coffee."

Taking a break, she walks away from the container and out through the lab door. She was not impressed with how the robot is acting. What she doesn't realize that the substance is a lot smarter than it looks.

The little Nano peers over the top to get a view of the scientist leaving the room. The door closes up right behind. It decided to use this opportunity to escape. That way, she would not hurt it any longer. Floating back to the broken pieces of the devices, it uses them to converts itself back into a robot. But this time, with an additional bonus.

It has turned its left hand as small compact drill. Switching it on, it turns to face the wall. It thrusted the drill piece into the wall and makes a small hole. It was small enough for either a mouse or the nanobots to fit though. Once the drill went through the hole, so did the Nano. As soon as it was out, the nanobots ditch the electronic pieces and make its way to vents. It continues to go through the number of tunnels, out through the bar vent; thus out into the open. It was now in a smelly alleyway just next to the warehouse.

It was free. Free at last and free from that terrible lady.

The orange sky has been replaced with calm, clear blue as little Nano continues to make its way through the smelly alleyway to the busy streets of Manhattan. So busy that it would be enough to draw too much attention to itself. In order to avoid notice from anyone, it crawls into the street gutter and decreases itself in size. It continues to crawl along the gutter to stay out of sight.

The streets are now even louder with the people chatting, the cars and truck honking. So, this is what the outside world is like? So loud and vibrant. Especially this guy.

"Hey, the new sci bots are here!"

The small Nano manages to pick up something. It continued to crawl to the source.

"Get them while they're hot!"

Nano looks over the gutter and gets a full view of the source. He appears to be in his late thirties wearing a brown trench coat with a light brown hat. He has a long red shirt with dark brown pants, a black belt with a silver buckle and a pair of dark grey shoes. He has short black hair and light green eyes. He goes by the name Harry the Pickpocket or "The Schlub".

Right in front of him resting on a table is a suitcase full of small robots with a red body and a silver head, a key wined-up on its back, grey arms and a blue strip on its torso. Some of them are moving around in a circle on the ground. He also has a boom box just right behind him.

He was selling small but moveable robot. Very similar to what Nano did before in that lab.

Well, he may be loud but some-what vibrant. And his toys are not selling much as patrons prefer to buy the ones in the shops that are brand new. His look more like they were just constructed from junk. If they are, then, why is he selling them?

"Come on. Come on, you bunch of ingrates," he mutters to himself. He then speaks a little louder. "Somebody's got to want one of these things." But more people just kept walking on. Seems like they don't want to buy anything that he sells. Harry was not pleased with this. "You think you're too good for me?" He gets a bit angry now. "Is that it?" He pushes his hat forward while holding his hand in a fist. "Why I ought to…" He isn't too happy that someone is not going to buy any of his toys.

If someone doesn't buy something, I'm gonna—

"Daddy? Daddy!"

Nano turns its attention to another source, coming this way. It sees a kid, no older than nine, was walking down the street, holding onto his dad's hand. It seems the kid was happy to see a bunch of robots on the ground which sparks his attention. "Daddy, I want one!" he begged as he pulled onto the grown up's hand.

Daddy?

The dad here decided to spoil his kid. "Okay. Okay." As Nano continues to watch from plain sight, the adult goes up to the salesman, to make the deal. "How much, pal?"

Harry was no longer angry as he finally makes his first sale. "Five bucks. A bargain." Anybody would be pleased with that bargain. Selling a few more of these would be enough for a nice hot meal for Harry here. The kid beside him was getting very excited by the second that he was going to get his very own toy.

The dad pulls out his wallet from his back pocket and a few notes. "I'll give you three."

That was not the price that Harry compromise. "THREE? I got to make a living here." He angrily barked.

The father simply wagged his money in Harry's face. "Hmm, take it or leave it." Although it wasn't the actual price. Harry does need the money. He looks down at the eager kid, now holding his new toy that he built from scratch. He decided to suck it up and takes it.

"All right. Fine," Harry snarky agrees. He swipes the money out of the dad's hand as the other adult then leaves with his son with the toy in hand.

But there were more ways to score some more cash from the same buyer. Once the dad has his back turned, Harry, sneaky as ever with the slyest look on his face, pinches the guy's wallet out from his back pocket with no problem. He snickers at his speciality. "I'll make it up on the back end." No wonder was known as the Pickpocket.

The boy and his father were just a few meters away from Harry. As the boy takes another step, a little "twang" was made as the robot in his hands broke apart. The pieces all fall to the ground. The father and his son were very surprised. The toy robot was a complete rip off!

The boy was now on the verge of crying. Tears were already exposed inside his eyes. "It's broke!" he began to cry his eyes out.

This makes the father very furious. The salesclerk has given his son a phoney toy. He decided to give him a little piece of his mind as he turns around. "Hey, you!"

But Harry was nowhere to be seen.

After escaping his last attempt, Harry has run into a nearby alleyway. Taking with him is his boom box and his brief case filled with more robot toys. This was his scam. He makes lousy toys, sells them, and just before the toys break part, he makes a clean getaway after making a few doughs. If he doesn't get enough money, he usually swipes their wallets when they are not looking. That is how he makes his living.

He comes around another corner; away from the streets and comes to a halt. "Ah Harry, you still got it," he happily mutters to himself. He puts down his briefcase and boom box as he takes a breather.

Now, let's see how much he has been hiding? Taking the remaining cash out of his wallet, he quickly counts the amount. Unfortunately, it was not the amount he had in mind.

"13 bucks? 13 BUCKS?!" The crook himself was not happy. He was expecting something more like a 50 which would be enough for him to get through for today. But it wasn't and he was not too happy. He scrunches up the wallet and the cash in his hands. So much for making a living. "Man, oh, man. Can't I ever get a break?" he rants; throws the wallet away in fury.

Unbeknownst to him, he was being watched the whole time. Not by the father or the kid that he sold the rejected toy to, it was someone or something else. And it is something that Harry would not believe.

Nano has made its way from the streets and into the streets. After witnessing the entire scene, Nano has followed Harry. It thinks that this guy was having a hard time making little money these days. Maybe Nano here can help him?

Harry has cooled down for now and decided to go to another place for his next scam. He would be hoping for more cash this time. Putting the money in his pocket, picking up his boom box and briefcase, he was off. Not looking where he was going, Nano steps in front of him before his left foot makes contact with the ground.

As soon it comes in contact, Harry does a big slip. "Whoa!" he cries out. This causes him to fall back and lose his grip on his things. The boom box lands in front of him and his briefcase falls away from him; opening up the contents of it. With Harry down for a bit, that is when Nano moves in.

Harry regains himself from his fall as an unknown noise was made just close to him. He sits up to see what was in front of him.

"Gah!" he cries. But more in a terrifying way. His eyes have become wide and his mouth has dropped.

Nano itself was at work; reassembling into the boom box that was in front of Harry and the robots that flings out of the briefcase. This is one of its ability. Harry was about to pee his pants from seeing this. Nano was swirling in the air with the pieces from the boom box; trying to make what it can use with the electronic bits.

Harry could not take his eyes off of it. "What in the…" He has completely no idea of what is happening. He has never seen anything like this before.

Nano has finished reconstructing itself and turns into another robot. Sparks were flying around its body as it starts up. Unlike before, it has gained a few more additions to this new form. The new robot turns to face Harry as it holds its arms out. And starts to walk toward him. "Da…ddy?"

The human was now terrified. He was now crawling backward; away from the robot. "No…no…" he begged. But he couldn't go any further as his back meets the wall. He was trapped. They only way out is through the robot. But who knows what this thing is capable of. This new robot could be a miniature version of the Terminator. Or this robot could be harmless.

Since Dr. Richard was the first women that Nano saw; making her its mommy, Harry would be the first man that Nano saw. Thus, making the grown man its…daddy.

And Harry doesn't know if he should be scared or not in the next second. Because what he was about to find out, could be his lucky break…

(2nd Time Around, Manhattan, NY – 7:30am)

After the two teens had their tea, the others have finally woken up and were ready for a new day. They all hopped into the Battle Shell and made their way to April's place. Just yesterday, the first human friend has called them for some help. Ever since she has lost her job at Stocktronics (long story), she decided to open her dad's antique shop – 2nd Time Around - in the meantime until she can find another job that won't end her getting hunted down and killed. The shop itself was located underneath her apartment. That way, she didn't need to either drive or catch the bus to get to work.

Plus, Sally could use the time that she wants to hang out with her human friend. And she could get a few tips on some new clothing since she does not have much with her. With a few problems going on in her life, she could really use a break to hang out with her friend.

Since they are on their way to April, the teens decided to call in Casey Jones – the other human ally. They thought to would be best if April knew Casey so they can get along rather than hide it. Rather than ride in the truck, Casey rides in on his motorcycle.

They are now approaching the store. In the front, it has a clock with the store's sign as well with three windows and one of them acts as the main door. But the shop does have a back door and that is where the team is heading. They don't want to be seen or spook the human that are out on the streets. And it is a good thing April has not yet opens the shop as her green mutant friends, her human friend and their new ally whom she hasn't met yet are here to help.

The teens and Casey have all parked their vehicles in the alleyway just next to her shop. The back door was located in the back wall of the shop. As they all got out of the Battle Shell, Don has hoisted a bag over his shoulder full pipes and his tools as well as carrying a few pipes and heads to April's door. With everyone a countered for, Mikey rings the doorbell.

Just inside the shop, April was doing a bit dusting; just something she does while she waits for the extra help. As she brushes the dust away from the large clock that is located on the other side of the shop, the doorbell just rang.

Must be Sal and the guys! Perfect timing.

She stops what she is doing and heads for the door. Her shop is filled all sort of antique items that were made more than 30 years ago. This was one of the places that her parents have given to her before they moved away. As she comes to the door, April grips the handle and swings the door open to see four green turtles and a human girl in her presence.

"Hi, April," Mikey begins, taking a step forward, "Green Brothers and Human Sister Movers and Schleppers reporting for duty!" The orange turtle loves to crack a joke. Anything to make his friend smile. But seeing her friends was already enough to put one on April's face.

"Hey, guys, thanks for coming. I need all the help I can get," April said. Well, that's what friends are for. They help out one another. Now that the help is here, time to get to work. "Mike, you could start by moving those big, heavy boxes." She gestures to the far end of the shop which Mikey does not mind at all.

"Just let me put on my hernia truss," Mikey quipped as he grabs onto his belt as part of the joke. He enters the shop and gets to work.

April wags her finger at the same boxes; smiling at the joke. "Right over there, wise guy."

Donatello was the next to enter, carrying his bag and a few pipes in his hand. April doesn't need to turn to face the next turtle as she cups her hand to her face. "Plus, I've got a heater that won't heat."

The purple turtle looks to her as she faces him. "Hence these," he replied showing the human the pipes that she needs for the job. The human points to the heater that is located in the boiler room that is located in the other room as the mechanic turtle walks in. April knows that she relies on Donnie to fix her pipelines. Next up were the two eldest of the ninja family.

The next job would require two people for this mission. "You two," she points to another portion of the shop, "that whole wall of antiques needs moving," she then becomes very serious as she brings her hand back to her hip and gently whacks her feather duster on the door; to prove her point, "carefully." She was only giving them the warning because she doesn't want anything broken in this shop. Or else.

The red turtle was the first one to speak. When he wants to help, this is not what he had in mind. "Hey, I'm a ninja, not a—"

But Leo was already right behind him as he decided to cut him in. "Your wish…is our command." The blue turtle pushes his little brother inside. It was the only way to shut him and do the work. The human kunoichi was next in line.

"Sal, you can help me and finish off the rest of the dusting," she order the teenage girl as she hands her the duster in her grip. Sally looks at the duster with displeasure. This is not what she wants to do when she gets to April. She can handle anything that she can use her hands with.

Well, Raph decided to speak for her. "Oh! So, SHE gets to do the easiest job, while we get the spine crunching one!"

Sally could not agree to it. "Raph's right. I'm ok of doing the hard ones. I can pretty much handle any heavy stuff that you guys throw at me," she said. Sal here was no feeble girl. She proved herself after living with four muscle turtles and a rat man who can handle anything physical.

April was taken back a bit. She also something else planned after they finished off working. "Really? Well, I thought after we finished up here, I could take you out for some shopping to get some clothes. You did say you need some, right?"

Sally was now the one who is taken back this time. April does have a point. For the first time in her life, she and her brother finally have a new friend who is not just a human, but a human girl. Sally has never hanged out with another girl before. Well, except for the small girl and her family that she has met in the park a few weeks ago. Plus, she has been dying to hang out with April for a while now.

"Now that you mention it, I do need some new clothes." She walks inside the shop, but not before she looks behind and waves her hand in. "Come on in, Case."

Case? Is there another turtle? She was now used to having four turtles in her life. Was there another one that she doesn't know? She will find out eventually. She turns around to see…a tall guy. And he doesn't have a mask or green skin.

He was a human. A regular human just her and Sally. Unless he has powers just like Sally.

What is more shocking to her is that she keeps on staring into his blue eyes. And so does Casey into her green eyes. He was speechless as well. His new friends did mention that they are friends with another human. What they didn't say is how cute the human was.

April was still staring at him but she did manage to open her mouth. "You're…not a turtle."

Casey was also still staring at her but did open his mouth. "Uh,…definitely not." He though too that there were more than his new buddles. Guess not.

After she called Casey in, Sally has just witness the whole scene between the meetings of her two friends. By the way that they are gazing into each other's eyes, she couldn't help but feel…satisfied for them. This could be the start of something new.

Since the two older human weren't going to make a move at all, Leo decided to decide to say something to break the silence. "Hope you don't mind, we brought along a friend." As he gets between them, he looks left to his right; wondering who will speak first.

And the way that those two have met; I don't think she minds at all. Sally gets to dusting while watching the happy soon-to-be couple.

Although, she can't say anything, April has enough strength to hold out her hand a bit. Since they have just met, she would like to know his name but he has already knows hers. Instead of taking her hand, he simply waves at her which brings hers down. "Yo,…uh…, Casey. Casey Jones." Deciding to break the tension, Casey walks into the shop and looks at the items. "Hey, uh, nice junk," he compliment as Leo rubbed behind his head. He goes off lifting other boxes around.

With that comment, April doesn't know if she should be offended or acknowledge as she walks over to him. "It was my dad's. The shop, I mean. I'm reopening…for now," she explains before she turns to face him, "until I figure out what to do with myself." After looking around the shop, Casey turns to face her. "My last job ended kind of…weirdly."

After meeting this guy, she could tell that he might be just like the Turtles. A caring being who looks out for one another, who helps when needed and maybe, could be the sweetest guy ever. Maybe this is the guy she was looking for? As long as he doesn't mess up his chances with her.

"Oh, I get it," Casey points at her. "While you're waiting for a real job to come along," he brushed the same to side while winking at her, "you're just hiding out in your pop's junk shop. It's cool." Casey was hoping to be on the same page as she is.

Scratch that. Not the guy that she was looking for. More like a guy who was now being judgemental.

Sally was nearby when slaps herself on the head. He did not just say that, did he? He doesn't he know how to talk to a women or a human? Why would he say that? Trying to get her mad or something? If he did, he is off to a good start!

If this was a baseball game, Casey has got a Strike 1. April was getting a bit angry at him at that comment. Now, she has found it offence. "It's antique shop," April accusingly points her finger at the sudden friend that she made, "and I'm not hiding from anything."

Casey simply turns away from and shrugs like it doesn't mean anything. "Hey, whatever, babe."

April was a bit furious now. She clenches her fists to the sides. She also blushes at this. "Babe?" she angrily said; shaking her head from side to side. Just who is this guy? And where the others met him? The junkyard? By the way, that was Strike 2.

"Hey, Raph." Casey manages to spot his friend in need of help. "That's a two-man job." The red turtle was trying to move a large cabinet that is twice his size. Casey gets onto one side of the cabinet – and it is still filled breakable glassware and plates as he and Raph tries to move it.

Anxiety has now taken all over April's face. This is the reason why she told them to be careful. One is a tough turtle with anger issues and the other is a numbskull that has no lack of empathy. And they are both moving the wooden cabinet that has the glasses and plates still inside of it. This was not going to end well.

April quickly approaches them while waving her hands in front. "Guys, guys, careful. That's very rare…" but the boys didn't listen or pay any attention as they let the cabinet tip forward; spilling a number of plates and glasses out of the cabinet and shattered into a hundred pieces onto the wooden floor. "…antique china." Now irritated, April simply puts her hand on her forehead and closes her eyes. She thought closing her eyes would make the Turtles disappear when she first meets them, but it didn't. Now, she was hoping that Casey Jones would disappear. Unfortunately, it didn't. He was still here.

Casey was starting to get the feeling that it was their fault for breaking. But these things can be fixed, right? More were falling out as the two hotheads place it back on the floor. "Hey, relax. We'll clean it up," he said; acting like this is not a big deal. Strike 3, boy. And you're out!

It was officially. April was now up to her breaking point. And what does she have to say? She lets out a frustrated growl and simply walks off. No! I'll clean it up!

Casey has no clue what he has done; rubbing behind his head. Raph comes to his side. "Jeez." Casey turns to the turtle. "Is your friend always so…sensitive?" he asked; shrugging his shoulders.

No, you were just being a bonehead.

The three other teens have just witness the entire scene (except for Don who was in the boiler room at the time). They completely understand how long it took for Casey to get under anyone skin, including Raph's. Sally can understand April's pain. She then looks to Leo and Mikey who were each holding a box each. "Ok, he has only been here for nearly two minutes and he's already struck out with April."

The two turtles all nodded in agreement. Yep. This is definitely the start of a new friendship with Casey Jones and April O'Neil.

(On the streets, Manhattan, NY – 7:32am)

After that little freak show, Harry manages to calm down after he realized that this little robot was not so harmless and not so scary. It is what it did before but it doesn't think it meant it. Not to mention the grown man was amazed of what this little bot can do.

Harry holds his hands out in front; meaning that he means no harm of the robot who used his things to transform into a small robot. "All right, you…weird…little whatever you are. Come on. Give me back my stuff."

Just on why this robot needs his things in the first place? Before he could ask, something interesting his caught the crook's eye. "Whoa, hold on a sec" he said, tipping his hat up. "I'm getting one of my million dollar ideas. Just through the alleyway, he spies with his little eye, he spots a big diamond sign that is bolted on the wall. That would mean it is a jewellery shop to his luck. But he would be dumb enough to sneak in and steal. Unless…

Harry looks down on the robot. "Listen, kid, that trick you do, taking things apart? Do you think you could do that to a little thing called a burger alarm?"

It was definitely a dirty trick. And Harry here was going to use this innocent robot to his advantage in his robbery sprees. Not knowing was the wrong thing to do, the robot decided to go with it. "Daddy," it replied. Maybe probably it wants Harry to be its daddy.

And Harry decided to go with the whole 'parent' thing if keeps the robot on his side. "You want a daddy?" he spoke in a childish manner before he stands up; reverting back to his usual voice. "You do what I tell you, I'll be your daddy. Deal?" He points his thumb to him before holding his hand out in front. "Here, smile and shake hands. Because with your face I can't tell if you're smiling or what." It's true. The robot may have a head but no facial expression.

Not knowing how to shake, Nano takes the human's hands instead. They both walked down the alleyway as Harry leaved behind his briefcase. With the robot in his disposal, he won't need his reject toys any longer.

"Kid, I got a feeling you're the lucky break I've been waiting for," Harry said.

It finally has one. Nano finally has a daddy. Even if this daddy turns out to be a crook.

(Later on tonight…)

Normally he would do his scams in the daylight. But for this particular scam, he has to come back to the shop later in the night so there won't be much commotion. Along with his new…addition to the team, Harry returns to the same streets with a duffle bag in tow. He wants to make sure that he can take as much as he needed.

Just as Harry takes a step into the alleyway with little Nano on his tail, the human takes a good look. No sign of any witnesses. Perfect. He looks to the robot. It still with him. The main reason why he needs it in the first place. He enters the alleyway with the robot in tow.

A bit of a walk until Harry finds himself at the back entrance of the jewellery shop. The same jewellery shop that he saw earlier, where he has planned one of his million dollar ideas. He looks to his side to see the robot catching up to him. After seeing what the robot kid can actually do, he would have no problem since this kid mention he wanted a daddy. And Harry is willing to pretend to be this robot's daddy in order to get what he wants.

The robot comes to a halt as they both looked up to see the objective. High above them is a big silver box with a few tubes coming out of it and a little red light blinking every second. They have found the burglar alarm and it is active. It keeps on making the beeping sound. If it goes off, it will contact the police for the crooks. But none of those crooks doesn't have a robot that can take apart anything electronic.

Harry looks down on the robot; getting its attention and points to the alarm. It's Showtime.

The robot looks to the box, tilts its head to the side as it observes the hardware. Its makeshift mouth opens a bit and the knob that acts as its eye moves around. After studying the box, Nano gets to work. Lifting its arms up, bits of nanobots hopped out; along with a few wires and goes up to the box. They disarm the sides and the wires make their way into the system. Nano continues to make few modifications; hoping to shut down the machine. One more wire to go…when the red light was shut off and the beeping stops.

Harry was rubbing his hands with pride as he, with a smug look on, continues to watch the show. He was so glad to bump into this robot and he was so glad that he brought it along with him. But the crime spree isn't over yet. They still have to open the door, get in, take the loot and get out – without making too much racket. And so far, it was looking so good.

After dealing with the burglar alarm, Nano brings its bots and wires to the door handle. It then takes the door handle off so its daddy will be able to get in more easily. After taking the pieces off, Nano takes the discarded door handle with it. Might come in handy.

With two of the main problems out of the way, it was safe for Harry to move in. Nano watches its daddy opening the door by the hole and pulls it back. Inside the shop was pitch-black, so Harry was smart enough to bring a flashlight with him. Pulling it out of his coat pocket and switches it on.

Harry then walks around the room; without making too much noise, and admires the valuables in the place. The crook himself has literally hit the jackpot. There were a number of rings, bracelets, necklaces, gems and some much more that it worth hundreds. All of them are worth buying. Or in Harry's case – stealing. With the alarms off, he will take all the time he needed to grab what he can take and get out.

The robot follows him inside before Harry uses his flashlight as a brick to break the glass of the display table. The alarms would have been set off if it detects something. If only Harry's little toy didn't tamper with it. Harry reaches his hand in the broken display table and manages to grab his first handful of priceless jewel.

Harry the Pickpocket was definitely making a living for himself. He continues to loot the shop – and a few more before he calls it a night.

(The next day…)

With all the money and jewels that he has…withdrawal from the shop last night, Harry decided to earn himself a little treat. Make that a little makeover.

No longer was he wearing his brown trench coat, long red shirt, his old belt, his brown pants and his pair of dark grey shoes. Now, it was replaced with a brand new light brown checked jacket with a marron button V-neck shirt, a white shirt underneath, a fresh pair of brown pants, a new black belt and a new pair of sturdy grey shoes. He still kept the hat as it is his signature look. And he still has enough money over for nice, hot meal. He steps out of the alleyway with his new look. He lets out a satisfied sign as he puts down his duffle bag; still filled enough money for the day. With all the robberies that he pulled off with a nice, clean getaway, he was feeling rather pleased with himself.

He gives a bit of a happy chuckle while fixing himself up. "Yes, siree, looking good," he says to himself as he digs his new threads. But he would have never got the new clothes and the money thanks to his new partner in crime. Speaking of which, the partner itself steps out from behind and comes to the human's side. Trusting the robot with his scams with the best decision that he has ever made. He bends down to pat him on the head; like he was a son he never had. "You are my lucky break, kid. My lucky break."

The robot doesn't know if the crook himself was using it for his own needs or not. But it doesn't care. It was glad to have a daddy. And daddy himself was very proud of it.

Before he goes out onto the streets, Harry carefully places his new kid inside his duffle bag and takes it with him. He happily whistles down the alleyway and makes his way to the streets as he prepares for his next raid. Little does he know, Harry and the kid are going to meet up with a few folks who will turn his luck around…

(2nd Time Around, Manhattan, NY – 7:59pm)

With all the break-ins that have been made in a single night, this makes one particular young woman a bit edgy. Not to mention it the same robbery was close-by. And she was worried that her shop might be next. That is when she decided to call in a little…back-up.

She decided to call in the best of the best – in the form of four giant mutant turtles and a human teenage girl with the skills of a trained fighter. Right now, they are all gathered in April's living room that with the dining room and the kitchen all in one room. Leo and Don have taken the large couch, Sally and Mikey sitting on the floor, and Raph takes up the armchair with April the only one standing up.

"I'm a little nervous about these robberies. The jewellery store that was robbed is right on my block," April explains the latest situation of the neighbourhood. "So that's why I asked you here for a sleepover tonight."

The Turtles and Sally would probably do anything for their friend in need. Plus, they were dying to have a sleepover at their friend's place. Sally has come to the human adult's place on a number of times but just without the guys.

The red turtle stands up from his seat and places a hand on the women's shoulder to April whom turns to him. "Don't worry, April. We got you covered," he reassures her before heading towards one of the windows.

"Yeah, April. These bozo better think twice before messing with the ninja bodyguards," Sally points out. She is the only one in the group who can sense within a mile away. So, there was no way that the robberies will enter the shop; undetected.

The young women herself can finally relaxed; knowing that she has got the World's Best Hidden Security Team at her place – ready for any intruders. "I feel so much better having you guys here," April said as Mikey stands up. The young women looks over to the red turtle who has opened up a window.

Leaning outside, Raph gives the thumbs up to another addition to the Friendly Neighbourhood Watch team. Casey Jones – all decked out in his usual Vigilante gear with his mask on and hockey stick at ready whilst standing on a chimney on a building just across from the store. He was ready for anything and any crooks that come his way.

Sally doesn't understand on why they need Casey Jones on look-out duties. She has the power to sense things. Didn't Raph forget about that?

Well she did remember her brother saying something that they are going to need all the help that they can. Plus, Casey was itching for some action if the robbers are pretty tough, but he promises to call the others up just in case.

And for this certain raid, he is definitely going to need all the help he can get!

Just a few short hours have passed. And the crooks have finally shown up.

Harry and the robot are once again; doing another raid on another night like this. With the robot at his side, it feels like Harry can do anything. They came out of a different alleyway; hoping to crash another shop and loot the whole place. They were just passing a number of shops – including a certain antique store – until something twinkles in the shop's window. This grabs Harry's attention. He takes a couple steps back and looks through the window with his hand right above his head to shade some of the streetlight away from his eyes. Something that he sees through the window sparks a memory from Harry's childhood which something that he wants. The robot kid joins him.

"Well, hello! A pinky ring." He points to the shiny object. "Where I grew up all the neighbourhood big shots had pinky rings." Looks like it time to bust inside and get what I want. Harry turns to robot beside him. "Hey, kid, fetch that for me, will you?" He points his thumb at the objective. So, the robot did what it was told to do as it enters the shop. First, it has to gain access.

But they should think twice when they come across the security team who are all upsides…

…fast asleep.

They were so busy watching a late night monster movie, courtesy of the Mikester, they have manages to catch a few z's for an hour now. Pizza boxes and soda cans were all over the floor and so were the teens. Well, except for Leo who was on the lounge chair and Sally...who was nowhere to be seen. The four turtles continue to snore up a storm with the TV still left on. So much for the World's Best Hidden Security Team whom are right sleeping on the job. If April's shop gets robbed, the ninjas are going to have a lot of explaining to do! They were now unaware of the action that is happening downstairs.

After breaking into the shop, undetected, little Nano manages to get the ring for his daddy from the display window. With some time on their hands, the robot decided to look around to see if there is anything that its daddy would like.

It looked behind to see something that caught its robotic eye. It rushes over to another table a collection of masks. Theatre masks, to be precise, the ones that actors wear back in the good old days. Each mask represents a different emotion. And that is when the robot remember something. Something that when he first met his daddy, he mentions something about its face.

Since it was constructed with bits and pieces from a toy robot and a boom box, the robot decided to use one of the special features it has got. It presses a button on its chest; letting the tape still left in the boom box before it got dismantle, rewind for a bit and plays the part from yesterday's conversation. The message was now playing through the small speakers located on the sides of the robot's head.

Of course with your face, I can't tell if you're smiling or what.

The robot places its hand on its chin. Seeing those masks and playing that message gives the robot an idea. If it can create a body, why not get a face.

It has only been more than a minute since his kid has entered the shop and Harry was starting to get a bit impatient. He did instruct the robot to get the ring he wanted, so why is it doing now? If they stay in the shop long enough, they are going to get spotted by the neighbours and they'll call the cops on them. That would be the last thing that they wanted. Not when they made off with so much dough and gems.

Not knowing what is keeping the robot distracted, Harry looks to his watch. It has been long enough. It was time to book it. He walks through the front door. "Come on, kid, what's taking you so long?" he quietly whispers. The crook finds the robot on the glass display table, holding up two masks near its face. One is a happy while the other is sad. Harry was getting a bit frustrated with the robot messing around while they are on a tight schedule.

The human comes up to his robot kid. "What are you doing with those?" He knows that they are not worth anything. They came to get something that sparkles, not made of plastic. But enough of that, they already wasted enough time. Harry makes his way to the exit. "Let's get out of here."

Nano looks at its mask before looking at its daddy. Isn't this what daddy meant when he can't tell is it is smiling or what? It thought it would help. Maybe when they get out of here, it will show him. Taking its souvenirs with it, Nano hops off the table and heads to the back door.

Opening up the second door to the place, Harry and Nano find themselves in the back alley. Once they head for the streets, they will heist onto another shop; hopefully another jewellery shop close by. Similar to the one they robbed just last night. Harry peeks his head out; hoping that there were no people or guards anywhere close-by. So far, no sign. Time to make another clean getaway. He rushes out of the door with the robot right behind him. Before they exit out of the shop, the robot had time to put the two masks on its face. Right now, it has the sad mask on. Harry comes to the corner and halts for a second. He looks around the corner. No sign of anyone.

"Remember our deal," he whispers to the robot while keeping on the lookout. After a quick sweep, they both rushed down the alleyway, passed a green armoured truck and comes up to the streets. They were almost there. They just need to another street to move on with tonight's crime spree. They halt for a second as Harry looks down on his robot kid; lifting his hat a bit with his thumb while his other hand is securing his bag of loot on his back. "You do what I say, right? I'm the…daddy…"

What caught Harry a bit strange were the masks on the robot's face. It must have picked them up or something. But for what he wonders. Just before he asked, Nano used a little of its ability to switch the mask around. No longer sad as it has the happy mask on now. Now, Nano can show emotion to its daddy; which strangely, Harry finds it kind of…adorable. But right now, they need to focus on the task at hand.

"Aw, come on." Harry points his thumb behind; ready to head out. But not after expecting some company.

The sudden appearance of this neighbourhood's hero shows up; aiming his weapon of choice at him, made Harry and Nano from confident in their mission to terrified in a second. They were caught.

"So,…what's your story going to be?" the street fighter snarled at the crooks. So, there is only two, huh? Looks easy enough. Guess he doesn't need his pals at the moment. By the looks of the frighten man and the tin boy he has got, this shouldn't take too long.

Casey Jones noticed before a shady folk with a walking tin figure; eyeing the inside of the shop before busting in. The Vigilant himself has his mask on and hockey stick; ready to give Harry a little lesson in pain.

Harry tries to take a step back, only for a hand to meet his back. The thief himself turns his head around to see that the hockey-masked foe has brought some company.

Decked out in her blue ninja attire, the young teenager has one fist on her hip with the other on Harry's back. Salvadora has already sense a presence downstairs a few minutes ago while she was doing…business with Mother Nature herself. Rather than wake up her brothers, she went ahead since there was only one guy and a strange robot with him.

Glaring at him, she pushes Harry towards Casey who hooks the end of his hockey stick by the strap and pulls him in close; causing the creep to lose a bit of balance, and grabs him by the shirt. That is when Nano's mask quickly changed from happy to sad. These two people were going to hurt its daddy.

Casey brings the crook to his masked face. "Doing some after-hours shopping, pal?" he barks. Yep. Because I don't think there is a big sale going on at babe's shop. "Come on, fess up, fess up." Casey lightly shakes the guy; just enough to scare him and make him spill. He did promise himself that he wouldn't go too far when it comes to violence. After meeting with Raph and his family, he was manage to balance himself out as he was not the only one who has a problem with trying to keep his cool.

Sally looks down at the robot. She raised an eyebrow. Interesting little thing. Why would a crook have a little robot with him? What can he do?

Well, she and Casey are about to find out.

Sally kept her attention on the robot as it rushes…towards a car. What is he—

Little Nano jumps at the car and little nanobots starts to swirl around the vehicle; already dissembling it. The noise that it was making brought the two fighters' attention as their eyes went wide. This is something that they don't see every day.

Right now, Casey and Sally are the ones who are surprised and Harry here is the one who is thrilled.

"Whoa," Casey gasped; letting the pleased Harry go.

Nano continue to works it's magic. Those mean people are going to hurt its daddy. And it was going to stop them. Nano continue to work until it has finished reassembling itself and the silver smoke died down. The car that Nano jumped at was no longer there. It has become part of Nano who is now a story tall destructive robot version of itself. The android itself has a number of emotions on it as well on a tyre. It was so big that if anyone has a weak stomach or not, they would actually run for the hill or get smashed. It now advances on the two warriors.

Harry decided to run for cover; letting his kid do all the work while Sally pulls out her swords and Casey reaches for his baseball bat. "What the…" Casey mumbles as he and the kunoichi all took a few steps back; keeping their guard up. The battle has already begun as the tyre rotates around; picturing another emotion that the robot picked up from the shops. Anger. And it now bears down on the two humans in the alleyway as it takes another step. And they were now in trouble.

"Uh-oh," they both gulped. The giant robot swings its arm back and whacks into the chest of Casey Jones but misses the teen ninja, who ducks at the last second. Casey's bat was destroyed from the blow as he goes flying into the wall and falls in the bags of trash. His golf bag was thrown off of him from the impact. Looks like the Vigilante is down for the count. This robot here packs quite a punch.

Sally looks over to her new friend and then back to the robot. Looks like it's her against their new foe as they now have a huge problem on their hands. Guess they do need the others. If only they would wake up from the noises that they are hearing.

Back upstairs, the Turtles were still snoozing away; unaware of the action that is happening downstairs. And out in the alleyway.

The sudden crash from the trash and a yell was enough to wake the Fearless Leader from his slumber. Not to mention he was holding his soda and a piece of pizza in his grip but lost when he woken up. Leo takes a quick look around the room.

All three of his brothers are accounted for. All except…

Very typical of her. She must have gone ahead to deal with the intruder and didn't have the time or the bother to wake her brothers up. Sally may be like Raphael at times, but she knows her limits. So, why didn't see warn them?

And by the sound that has woken him up, sounds like she is in trouble. Leo goes over to the closest turtle near-by and on the floor. He shakes his little brother's shoulder. "Guys…" But the youngest turtle was still in sleep mode.

"Can I have another s'more?" he mumbles. Dreaming about food, huh? Typical Mikey. But right now, he needs him awake and ready. Leo decided to tap him on the shell. This actually wakes him up. The orange turtle sits up and looks up to see his big brother. "What?"

Leo brings a finger to his lip. "Shh." He then points his thumb down. "Noise, downstairs." By the time Mikey has woken up, Don and Raph have already risen from their slumber. They were now ready to help their friends in trouble.

April was too woken from the loud noise just next to her apartment. She walks over to her bedroom door and opens it. She dressed in her pjs which it is a light purple shirt with blue shorts. She rubs her eyes out as she steps out. "Hey, did you hear any…"

But her living room was now deserted as her bodyguards are nowhere to be seen.

"I'm guessing…yes."

The battle in the alleyway continues to brawl. If this bout keeps up, the streets will be filled with the cops very soon. And with Casey knocked out, Sally will have to do her very best to finish this fight quietly and fast. Not to mention she'll have to protect her unconscious friend.

The robot makes another move by slamming its fist into the human. But Sally was quick to dodge as she does a back-flip to avoid the hit. Landing with her feet on the ground and arming her swords at the bot, she was hoping that her brothers would already be awake and ready to jump and help her out. If the noise was loud enough to wake a heavy sleeper, then where are they?

The robot decided to do something different than before. Looking to its left, there it sees a motorcycle juts parked next to where the other car was before it became part of the bot. Finally finding something to hurt the girl, Nano grabs the bike and lifts it in the air.

Juts by seeing this, Sally could only panic a little.

Oh, he's not gonna—

Unfortunately, it is.

With one thrust, Nano throws the bike in the air and it was heading for the kunoichi…and Casey!

Groaning was made at the end of the alley. Sally quickly looks behind to see the poor but not completely comatose fighter. He was now all battered and bruise from just that one hit. It was all it took to knock the guy and the incoming attack will be more than that for Sally if she doesn't stop it.

She turns back to the flying bike; heading towards for her. If she jumps out of the way, the bike will surely hit Casey instead and will damage him a lot more. If she tries to stop it, not only it will save the damage on Casey but Sally will take up the damage for him. Which only leaves to one option. The option that she is not ready for.

The motorcycle was heading for them and she was running out of time.

Might as well do it!

She has only got one shot. After that, fail or succeed, she has tried.

The bike was only less than a meter aw—

Sally thrusts her hands forward, with her swords still in hand, and shut her eyes, which it is a bad idea in this kind of situation. She was preparing for the on-coming pain.

The bike has finally made the impact. And the impact with a bike was smashed into pieces; causing a big smoky cloud. As he finally comes to, Casey was horrified. He was able to witness the scene unfold. The fog continues to cover up the girl and parts of the alleyway.

Was Sally hit? Is she ok? Did she get hurt? Is she dead?

No. No-one could have died from that impact. They would get a sore head or body with a few scratches instead.

The smoke clears up. But what doesn't clear up was a strange light blue barrier that surrounds the young kunoichi. Inside the barrier there stands Sally with her eyes still closed and her hands out in front. She was still waiting for the impact but only a few seconds went by as she didn't felt it.

She opens one of her eyes to see if she misses the bike. But she didn't. She opened her eyes up in surprised. The bike was aiming for her. And now, bit and pieces of the motorcycle were now scattered around the teen and not a single scratch was on her.

But the kunoichi was the most stunned of all. She couldn't believe what she has done.

She has finally projected a Force Field!

As the barrier disappears, Sally looks to her hands. She was still speechless. How did she do it? Was it because Casey was in trouble? Maybe that was the answer. Maybe…when she thought of Casey – when he was injured and unable to fight – it gave her the power to project it! Guess it will only happen if someone was in danger or something like that.

Although she doesn't fully understand how it works, Sally was now beyond thrilled. "I did it…" she gasped. She cannot wait to tell and show Leo about this! He would be so proud of her!

Sally looks behind to see one surprised man with his hockey mask still. Although she can't see his expression, she can tell that he was watching the show. "Whoa…How did ya do that?" the baffle Casey Jones asked. Guess she has some explaining to do.

Sally could only scratch her cheek in awkwardness. "Well,…uh…you're not the, uh,…first human to know about my, um,…special skills." Guess that is one way to put it.

Although he is sore from that one attack, he did raise his stunned eyebrows if Sally can't see them and does manage to raise one hand to rub his sore head. "Wait a minute. So, babe already knows about your magic mumbo-jumbo?"

Something Raph would say for about a million times. Sally might always be frustrated when explain this particular topic. But this was Casey's first time seeing this. "Ok, one: It's Telekinetic." Ok. An answer that Casey was not expecting. Especially since he didn't expect an attack like that to happen from a ninja. But Sally wasn't done. "Two: April was pretty much surprise as you are. Three: It took me a long time to figure that out. And four:," the kunoichi points up to the windows above, "we're expecting some company."

Casey follows her direction and looks up as well. The so-called company comes in a form of a giant turtle who is followed by three more. The first one jumps out of the window from the second floor and comes gliding down on the clothes line with the help of his Nunchaku. The others followed him, one-by-one, with the weapons in hand.

Mikey lands in front of the strange robot as more of his brothers joined the scene. Leo looks over to his human sister. She has got some explaining to do for leaving so early to fight. But right now, they need to focus on this…new foe.

Just like Sally and Casey from before, the Turtles were pretty much dumbfounded to see something like this. To them, it looks like a junk-sized version of a Transformer. Hopefully, not too much trouble.

Nonetheless, they all aimed their weapons at the android and all approached it. Sally joined in the fight as she has another surprised up her sleeves to show her friend.

"Okay…What is that?" Leo was very much curious as his brothers are. He turned to his younger brother at the same time the robot changed its expression from surprised to anger. When did it change emotion? "Donnie?"

For once, Donatello was complete stumped. "Uh,…insufficient data, boss." Guess the Brainiac needs time to study this.

Harry was now close-by to his robot kid. Just before he was hiding from the two fighters who almost creamed him. He was still taking in all the events that have happened so far. The masked guard, his kid transformed into a giant, a teenager whipped out a magic spell and now, four large turtles have all joined the scene! Harry was now in a state of shocked. It feels like he was experience birth for the very first time.

"Ahhhh! This can't be happening," he cried out; shakily waves back and runs behind his giant kid. "Martians!"

Confused, Leo, Don and Sally all looked at him while Mikey looks to Raph who shakes his head. Seriously. Do we look alien to you, buddy? To some people, that or monsters.

Harry looks over one side of the robot before going to the other side as he continues to panic. "Just when things are finally going my way," as he finally gets to the other side, he shakes his fist at them as the robot clenches its fists, "we get invaded." He looks up to the kid. It still pictures its angry look. "Don't let them take me, kid."

Nano was now mad. These…aliens have scared its daddy and now, they are going to pay. Did what he was told to, the robot lifted his fist in the air and slams them at the invaders. But the teens were quick to move. The impact from the fists causes a shockwave.

Raph decided he would be the first one to attack. He gets close to the robot and tries to slash some metal off it. Nano tries to stomp the turtle, but Raph manages to flip backward to avoid getting hit. To avoid getting hurt, Harry runs to hide where the front door is of the shop that he tried to rob.

Sally was the second one to go in as she leaps in the air with her Kodachi in hand and tries to slash the robot's arm off. But Nano was quick enough to grab her by the wrist. With the teen in its grip, Nano then slams the girl on the hard concrete ground. Ouch! She is going to feel that one in the morning.

Mikey tries to help his sister, so he decided to jump in the air and kicks the monster in the back. Unfortunately, Nano was quick to felt the attack. It swings the girl in its clutches at the orange turtle. The robot loses its grip on the human's wrist as she and the mutant were sent flying. They both landed near the purple turtle. Instead of attack, he was busy digging into his duffle bag that he brought along. Maybe there was something in here that will do the job nicely.

The orange turtle has regained himself from the attack and rubs his head. Sally was now rubbing her back from all the blows that she had to endure from the tin monster. She might have to sit this on out and maybe check on Casey in the meantime. "Shouldn't you be having an idea right about now?" the orange turtle asked his smart brother.

And he does. Holding his wielding torch in his hand, Donnie just needs to get close to robot without being spotted. "Hold that thought," he replied. "Just keep him busy."

Mikey stands up with an exasperated look on his face. He does not like that answer too well. "I knew you were going to say that."

He runs right back to the robot and re-joins the fight. As his brothers fight, Don activates his torch. He just needs to find the opening that he needs to help his family and stop the robot from doing any more serious damage. With the three teens now cornered the robot, they just have to wait for who will make the first move. So far, not one turtle has made a move yet.

So the robot decided to attack instead. Looking at one turtle to another, it brings in the first punch to the sword-wielding turtle, but Leo was quick enough to slide underneath the robot; evading the attack. Harry couldn't help but slap himself in the face.

The robot then turns around and draws its attention on the freaks. It was now distracted. This was the perfect time for Donatello to attack. He comes out of his hiding spot, aims his wielding torch at Nano and starts melting it - piece by piece.

The robot was now screaming for mercy. The hot flame of the tool was hurting it. Don pulls away from the robot that clutches its burning side. It did not like it one bit.

Nano was officially mad.

Whipping its emotion from scared to anger; it looks at its latest attacker and whacks him away. Once he made impact on the wall, this causes Don to drop his torch in the progress.

Harry was now right behind the ninjas in the alleyway. He was now worried for his kid; which it is very weird to him. The only being that he ever trusted was himself before that robot came along. The teens were actually hurting and Harry was feeling remorse in a split second. His kid needs to fight back.

"Don't let them aliens and the toots get you, kid. Knock them flat!" he cheered for the robot from the safety of the sidelines.

It only took half a second for Sally to hear that word. TOOTS?! Did that sleazeball called me TOOTS?! Oh, he's asking for it!

And it only took the other half to quickly recover, runs up to Harry, grabs him by the shirt and dangles him up high in the air. Harry's feet are now not touching the ground thanks the girl's immense strength. Man! This gal is too strong for a teenager! And boy, was she mad!

"OH, YOU DID NOT JUST CALLED ME TOOTS, DIDN'T YOU?!" the angry teen bellows at the crook. She was now absolutely steaming. This is one of the nicknames that Salvadora here is not so fondly of. And the boys already here have learned that the hard way. Harry was very scared of her but even more petrified of the Turtles as they all now approached him. He was ready to soil himself.

Leo puts one of his Katanas away back into his gauntlet. "What do you know about this?" Leo demands; pointing his finger at him. Ok, Harry was now soiling himself. The robot was his only hope now to get out of this mess.

Harry turns to his kid while still in the grasp of the strong girl. "Ahh! Help! Kid!" he cried out. Nano has got its attention. Its daddy is in trouble. No longer it has the angry look but now the sad mask on as its worried for its only parent, Nano charges at the teens. It can't let anyone hurt its daddy. Not while it's around.

"Daddy," Nano bellows. It uses its makeshift hand and grabs the young girl in its clutches. Sally didn't have time to both dodge the move and to get out of its grip before it throws her up against the wall. It then grabs the shocked three turtles and throws them up against the wall too. With the foes down for a second, Nano used the time to pick up its daddy in its arms before running off into the streets. By the time the teens are recovered from that attack, the two crooks have already disappeared.

Sally's back was still up against the wall as she rubs her right shoulder in pain. After being thrown around and across, she would be forming a huge bruise on her back at the size of a watermelon. Leo was close-by when he helped her up. She was not pleased with the number of hits that she had to take. But at least she managed to project a Force Field for the first time, something that she will tell the boys and April later on.

"Did I ever mention I hate it when I get thrown around?" she complained; rubbing another sore part on her head, just close to her eyes.

That is when April appeared through the back door of her shop. She has witnessed the commotion through her apartment window. Since she is not a fighter, she decided to stay out of the way until the dust has settled. Not to mention that she took a good look of the giant metal monster that her friends fought. "What was that thing?" she wonders. So would the ninjas. They have never seen anything like that before in their lives.

Before anyone can answer the question of the day, a groan was made from the end of the alley. The teens all looked at the source. Still with his mask on, Casey had one hand leaning on the wall for support and the other clutching to his bruised side. By the looks of it, he must have dealt with some massive damage.

They almost forgot about the Vigilante himself. April has become very shocked of this and was now in a bit of a panic mode. She rushes over to his side. "Casey! Oh, no."

Wait. Wasn't she mad at him just yesterday for being a numbskull?

April comes to the grown man's side and holds him gently by the arm. She moves his mask up and rests it on his head; thus revealing his battered face. She carefully places her hand on his forehead. By the sudden touch on his head, Casey opens his eyes to see the babe at his side; all concerned for his safety. Out of everyone now in the alleyway, it had to be April. Guess babe can't resist the charm, eh?

Still in pain, Casey smiles sweetly to April. "So…uh,…did I win?"

Sally rolled her eyes. "No, Casey. You didn't win," she responded as the two adults joined the teens.

She was still rubbing her shoulder as Leo turns to her. His arms were crossed over and his expression was not looking very content. Something that has to do with his best friend. "You just couldn't wait, could you?"

She stops rubbing the sore and faces him. "Hey! I was going to wake you guys but I sense them before I got the chance to. Besides, you guys were snoring up a storm," she said in her defence.

"And yet, you didn't even bother to wake us up so you can have all the fun," Raph pointed out. Sal knows how much Raph loves to brawl and how much he hates when he misses out on the action. That's the toughest turtle for ya.

"Hey, guys…"

Everyone looks to Donnie who just appeared from the other side of the alleyway. What is very strange is the material that he is holding. The purple turtle was rubbing his head in bewilderment. "…this stuff is moving."

Don wasn't lying. The material in his hand was giving a bit of a glow. Or it's moving on its own like a big worm. Just like he said. But…how was that possible? This is by far the strangest thing that the heroes have ever seen.

And that is when Donatello decided to study it like any other scientist.

It only took a few minutes for the teens and Casey to recover themselves from a brawl with their new and unusual opponent.

Never in their lives had they went up against something made of living metal. The question is how can it possibly move? Everyone's guess would probably be a robot or some sort. If so, how was it able to reconstruct itself from a small bot to a giant machine, from what Casey and Sally describe to the guys?

That is why Donatello is on the case. Using his microscope that he brought, he examines the stray metal that was left behind from the fight. It was probably fallen off when Raph slices the robot with his Sais or when Don tries to burn it. Looking through the microscope, he was trying to find out with the substance on the metal is and figure out a solution to stop the android.

Casey was all bandaged up around his chest with his shirt off and an ice pack on his forehead, thanks to the help of Nurse April who sat out the fight and was now sitting right beside her patient on a stool.

Sally only had an ice pack on her shoulder. After being swinged around by the metal monster, it was enough to earn a few bruises on the warrior's back. It also sprains a little on the shoulder blades and that is when the ice pack comes in. It would help with any fresh bruises.

The turtle brothers are all huddled up around their purple brother as they wait for the results. Leo looks over to the approaching human. "How's the shoulder," he asked.

Still with the ice pack on it, Sally carefully rotates her shoulder with her hand on it to loosen the muscles. Right now, the pain was dying down a bit. "I'll be fine; as long as I don't push."

Sally just finished her stretching when Donnie has just discovered something.

"Whoa! Definitely something you don't see every day," he spoke up; not taking his eye on the lenses. He was twisting the knob while looking through it.

Mikey was right beside his older brother. "What did you find?" he asked the million dollar question. Don raises his head and removes himself from the glass bench. He then gestures to his brother. If he wants to look, then be my guest, little bro. "Take a look."

The orange turtle then takes his brother's place, looks down and see through the lens with one eye. He turns the knob around to get a clear and close look on…whatever his brother found. But what he saw was a number of squirming little white bug-like things on the other side of the lens. Mikey could only look on with the most disgusted look on his face. But he was still watching the tiny show.

"Eww!" he whined.

The human kunoichi removes her ice pack and was a bit on alert. "What is it, Mikey? What are they?" Why was she asking the orange turtle that question? Isn't this in Don's department? Maybe a description would be nice.

Mikey does not take his eye on the lens. "They look like…maggots," he answered.

Sally's expression went from uneased to a bit pale. "Eww." Eww was right. She hates maggots. Really hates them. A lot.

Don decided to cut in. "Correction: nanobots." Mikey was still looking through the lens; turning the knob to get an even closer look. He was getting a clear view on these nanobots' metallic bodies with red eyes. They were still moving around; not making any threats or whatsoever. "Microscopic robots all working together," the smart turtle explains to the family.

"Are they dangerous?" Raph wonders. He just wants to know if they are a threat or they are harmless. Mikey looks up to see Don for an answer.

"They're moving randomly. Probably when they were cut off from the main group," Don points his finger to his temple; indicting that he pointing to his brain, "they became mindless; unmotivated."

So in other words, harmless.

Even Mikey gets this proven theory. "Ohhh, like when Raph goes solo," the orange turtle points out. He then pokes his brother in the face; just close to his face. "He becomes mindless; unmotivated."

Irritation was all over Raph's face. He was now ticked off from his little brother's witticisms. Oh, looks whose talking, bro. You can be mindless too at times. But Mikey does have a good point. Raph doesn't really think straight when he goes off his own.

Still annoyed by Mikey's joke, he whacks the hand out from his face but resisted the urge to slap him upside the head. But who says it was Raph who was the tedious one?

"Speaking of mindless, did that thing seem kind of…loss to you?" he asked everyone.

Mikey couldn't agree more. "Yeah, like…" he and the others remember what the crook with the robot called it. Mikey holds his hand out around about the height of a small figure. "…like a little kid."

They all understand what they both meant. While they were battling the robot, the crook with it called it 'kid'. And just before they deal with the grown human, the robot itself calls him 'daddy'. It seems that robot may be intellect when it comes to fighting and rebuild itself but it seems to act like a little child. And it must have taken this stranger as its parent. Just like the Turtles and Sally take Master Splinter as their father,

Don decides to go back to his microscope and observes it a little more. But what he is seeing right now is not what he was expecting. "Uh-oh," Don said. He was turning the knob on one certain nano. Which then split off…making two nanobots in its places. "It's reproducing itself." He continues to speak as the two nanobots split up again – making two more in its place. "And if each nanobot makes a copy of itself…" The four nanos are now moving in a circle before split off again; making a total of eight! "…and the copies make copies, this thing could really become unstoppable."

Not to mention unstable as well. Either way, this sends red flags to the entire group; which it is enough for the teens to make their next move.

Leo takes a few steps forward. He was now in Leader Mode. "Then we stop it now," Leo said; punching his fist into his left palm. But in order to stop their new foe, they need to find it. And they know who is perfect for the job. If she can is able to sense it.

The blue leader looks to his best friend. "Can you get a trace on it?"

She may only have her powers for a few years now, and lately, it has been improving in a few months than she thought. Sally gives a nod to him as she puts her ice pack down and closes her eyes. With her powers growing stronger, it would only take a few seconds than a minute to get a signal.

A good 10 seconds has passed, but was Sally able to get a lock on the robot? Her shoulders become tense and her eyebrows twitched. Suddenly, her eyes whipped open; letting out a dejected grunt. Guess not.

"I couldn't. No matter how much I try to focus, I… I can't seem to find it. It seems like it's advance technology that is messing up my powers. Sensing them is one thing, but trying to get a lock on them from another location is another." Her head droops a bit but she catches it with her hand. "Plus, it takes up a lot of energy to focus."

Guess Plan A didn't work. Don places his finger on his chin. "Hmm, I think the nanobots have a unique power signature; very different from yours I'm guessing," he theorises.

Sally crossed her arms over. But there is more than one way to track anything. And there is. "Maybe the tracker in the Battle Shell can get a lock on it?" Don agreeably nods. That could work. They always seem to have a back-up plan for everything.

"And once we find robo boy, then what?" Mikey asked. He and the others were hoping there was some way to defeat the metal beast. And thankfully, Donnie has the solution. From what he has observe in battle, Don has also witness a flaw in the robot. Something that has to do with his handheld burner….

"Well,…" He grabs hold of his tool and switches it on. "…as much as it pains me to destroy such amazing technology,…" he then brings the lit nozzle of his torch to the substance on the glass stage of the microscope. Once the burning flame has made contact with nanobots, they all began to sizzle up – one-by-one – into oblivion. "…it does seem to be susceptible to extreme heat."

Once the bots are gone and the smoke from the burnt techno was now in the air, Don moves his torch away from the glass and turns it off.

"So, what are we waiting for?" Raph speaks as he and his siblings all head out the door. Although it would be helpful for Don to bring his handheld torch with him, he decided to leave it on the glass table. They'll need a bigger torch to deal with a dangerous adversary.

Now that they have found a weakness, the ninjas are all set. But first, they need to lock on the robot before heading out.

Still all wrapped up; Casey doesn't want to miss out on all the action. He grabs hold of the support of the couch and lifts himself up. "Let me just grab golf bag-ggg! Ow!" In pain, Casey lets go of his grip and falls back onto the couch. Something tells him that he needs a little bit more time to heal up. Guess one mighty punch did actually did some damage to Casey.

Closing his eyes in pain and his hand on his sore chest, he will have to sit this one out. April was already out of her seat and comes closer to her patient. She takes pity of the fallen solider. "You aren't going anywhere, mister." She kneels down close to his head and places her hand on Casey's shoulder as the Vigilante open his eyes and looks at the women. "You wait right here until I get some more bandages."

She stands up and walks out of the room to go upstairs to get more supplies. Casey decided to heed the advice that babe gave to him and finally rest his eyes and his body. The red turtle was the only one who hasn't left yet. He has just watch the scene of their two human friends. Guess he must be faking the pain – in order to get closer to April. Typical.

With April out of the room completely, Raph walks over to his best bud. He kneels down and places his arm on the armrest of the couch as Casey opens his eyes and looks up to see a familiar turtle. "You wouldn't be milking this boo-boo thing, would you, Case?" Raph jokily wonders. If this was the way to make a move on April, he would be risking it big time if he was faking his injury to get her attention. Raph will never understand when the topic of romance comes up.

But Casey was in a state of aching. And getting close to April was definitely on his list. He lifts his head a little; thus avoiding straining himself any more pain. "Hey, show a little concern, shell-for-brains," Casey quips back.

Well, anything for you, pal. Not to mention, the human wants some alone time with the other female of the team. Raph decided to not stick around any longer. He gives a wink and a playful nudge into the bonehead's shoulder with his elbow. "You owe us one, pal." With that, he stands up, walks out of the shop and joins his brothers and sister in the truck.

"Definitely," Casey says. With a little luck and a whole lot of caring by the beautiful April O'Neil, he would be better in no time at all. But not before hurting himself once more. "Ow!" He winches in pain and his head falls onto the couch. Make that a whole luck of luck.

(The Dump, Manhattan, NY – 10:45pm)

It has been almost an hour since they have made their escape. Trying to hide out from not only the cops, but also from the new additions that are in the form of the giant, green turtles and two human fighters.

They decided to hide out in the city's dump…for now.

Right now, Harry was taking a breather before he and the kid decided to make their next move. With the robbery that they pulled off from last night, they have enough cash to make a certain living. Should he feel guilty-ridden that he stole the entire shop's load? No. Because he is a thief. And he does not feel any remorse or whatsoever.

But he does feel grateful for the new addition to the team. With the human sitting on a broken lounge chair on a small hill of dump, the robot was just standing right in front of him. Just before it was a small robot in the size of any toy robot but now, it has transform itself into the size of a big statue.

He gives out a chuckle before the robot takes a step forward towards its daddy. Holding in Harry's hands are a wad of cash and a pearl necklace. After being with the robot, he was rather very impressed of what his kid can do other than helping with the burglary. He was glad that he met the robot – his very own lucky break.

"Man, that was something…" he puts his cash and necklace back inside his bag; recollecting the previous events from before, "…that girl, and those space aliens or whatever." Harry then points to his new partner-in-crime. "But you saved me, kid. You saved me."

The robot, for some strange reason, still has its sad mask on in front. Guess it was a bit scared of its daddy being threatened by those weird creatures and the two human from before. Harry continued to talk. "You're a stand-up guy, you know that?" Then Harry did something that he has never done before in his life. He shows a genuine expression while placing his hand over where his heart is.

"I'm proud of ya."

Hearing those words cause the robot to whirl its tyre head from the sad mask to the happy one.

Daddy…is…proud…of…me.

Of course Harry was. And he means it. It was so touched by what its daddy said to it. And it couldn't be more happier than this. This was definitely the life…and the family that it wanted.

But something else came to Harry's mind. He has only known the kid for a while and he has no clue of where it came from. Maybe it has to do with those space aliens. He doesn't care about the girl or the guy in the hockey mask. Guess it doesn't hurt to find out.

"Hey, you think maybe those green freaks came from the same place you're from,…" he theorises; placing his hand on his chin of different guesses, "…wherever that is?" The crook leans a bit forward with his hands on the arms. "You think maybe they're here to take you back?"

It could be possible. Since Nano here is something that he has never seen before, so are the green freaks. Maybe there might be a connection in all this. Harry was hoping for a simple no. Right now, he doesn't want to lose his lucky break.

The robot then spins its head around; reverting back to the sad mask. In truth, Nano has never seen the green turtles before in its life. Not before, during or after the life in the confinement of the lab. Not to mention, it has no knowledge of the Turtles. Harry decided to take it as a no. He does not want to lose the kid now. Not when they started to go big.

"No, I wouldn't like that, either," Harry shaking his head to the side before putting his finger back onto his chin. After thinking of ways to escape big, Harry has come to a decision. "Maybe it's time for us to blow out of town."

With all the money and jewellery that they have in their stash, it would be enough to start a new life where Harry and Nano will not have to interfere with the cops or the mutant freaks and their friends, ever again.

Unfortunately, their plans to bail out of the city are going to be dented. And it might cost Harry something else…

The Battle Shell was now cruising through the streets of New York at night. After recovering their bruises at their friend's place, the team of five ninjas learn something about their opponent about being weak to extreme heat. Hopefully, the teens did find a way to blaze it up before it does any more damage.

With the tracker in the armoured truck fully functioning, Don has taken the wheel with Mikey taking the passage seat. A small screen was bolted just above the steering wheel but slightly to the turtle's left was showing a red light also making a beep sound. It was the Battle Shell's very own tracker.

Sally would have used her own powers to track the metal monster, but it what her brother said that it gives off another energy signal which it is different from hers. Since this is made of technology, who knows what Sally's powers are made of.

The beeping was getting a bit faster. It's close.

Donnie turns his head to his right. "We're almost on top of it," he said; turning his head back to the tracker. The beeping was now getting a bit faster. The purple turtle shifts his eyes around, without moving his head, to see the street before them. As he keeps on driving, he and the others were getting close to another place. A certain place where a giant tin solider would hide out if it was hiding from any authorise. "It should be right…through…there."

The Turtles and Sally are heading straight for the dump. And by the looks of it, it would be the ideal location for the certain crooks that they are after. And this ideal location is shut off from outsider with a metal gate. Normally, people would try to go over the gate or the wooden fence, but the teens here have another way.

Rather than stop, Don continues to floor it and the metal grate of the truck comes in contact with the metal gate; smashing it open with the doors flying off to the side.

This particular noise was loud enough for Harry and Nano to be on full alert.

"Wait. Ya hear that?" the crook asked. Nano looks towards of where the sound might be. Guess it must be the aliens that the robot was battling before. And they must have found them and are here to take Nano away.

No. Harry is not going to let that happen. Not on his watch. After witnessing what his kid is capable of, he decided to use it to his advantage.

But first, all they need to do is hid and wait; giving the thieves the element of surprise…

Coming into the heart of the small section of Dumpsville, the Battle Shell comes to a complete stop. As they were driving, the teens all kept a lookout on the metal menace. They parked their truck because Donnie noticed the signal on the tracker was hot. They are close. But where is it or that old guy with it?

The teens all climbed out with the weapons, in hand, and rushed over to a near-by pile of garbage. Don also brought out his own little portable tracker. Just like the one in the Battle Shell but smaller. It has now got a lock on the nano itself.

So far, there was no sign of the robot. Which it is very weird since beeping on Don's little gadget is going crazy.

Leo and Raph all leaped onto the exact pile with a discarded couch was placed. Don, Mikey and Sally remained on the dirt ground. The two eldest all looked around their surrounds. Some of the items look thrown out and some look like they have just been brought from an expensive store. Guess the robbers are definitely here. If so, then where are they?

"Look at all this stolen stuff," Leo said.

The beeping was the only sound that the teens are hearing that is coming from Don's hand. He was watching the screen for some time now. "Where is that thing?" He takes his eyes off it as he lowers it a bit to see the area a bit more. "The locator says it should be right here."

Normally they would have their sister to do all the sensing but since this thing was technology-based, this was not in her speciality. Guess it was up to Don to find it. But at least Sal will be able to sense anything that moves in the local area. Right now, just a mile away, she can sense a human in their presence. Must be the crook!

Feeling a bit unnerved about their opponent…lurking in the garbage dump, Mikey comes a bit closer to his older brother while clutching onto his weapons. "I know it's been used before, guys, but…I'm getting a baaaadd feeling about this," he said.

And how right he was.

Just when Sally was about to take the first step toward the crook's direction, the tingling sensation was now going off.

It must be—

Sally quickly whips her head away to face the boys. "MOVE! NOW!" That is when the giant Nano robot jumps out of its hiding spot within the garbage and reveals itself to the ninjas. It delivers a giant stomp on the ground but it misses its targets.

Her sudden yelp was more than enough for the Turtles and the human to jump away from the robot and they all landed on different piles of garbage. They now all armed their weapons at their foe. The robot stomps a few feet closer to the reptiles and human as it comes to a stop. Nano still looks the same from before.

Nano wasn't happy about what the teens did to it from before. They were trying to hurt its daddy. This made it very mad. The tyre on its head whirls around to show it's no longer sad, but now – it is mad.

It was ready for some payback.

Letting out a loud screeching yell, it thrusted its arms to the side; extending the out. Just like before, small cloud of nanobots are swirling around and does its magic. It is getting as much materials as it can get from its reach.

Most of the teens were surprised from all this. Sally had a preview of the bot's powers from before and she still had some bruises to prove it. A number of electronic items – televisions, boom boxes, trashed cars, busted machines, etc - were now flying towards the bot with each passing second. As more keeps on coming, the bigger Nano gets. During the process, a large TV has replaced where its head was and was now switched on. It now shows the same angry expression on the blue screen that it had before its new transformation. Nano was now more sturdier and taller than ever. From a story high robot to a three story high robot.

This…looks trouble for the heroes.

The teens all come closer to the tech behemoth while still keeping their distance. They just do not want to get smashed by this new form now. Mikey, still nervous as heck, takes a few steps back to join his family. "And now,…I'm getting an even badder feeling about this."

You're not the only one, Mikey. Sally too has some doubts about the robot. They have never faced anything like this before. The Nano Monster stood its ground as its lets out another screeching roar but more louder this time.

It was prepared to fight.

The robot vs. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Teenage Mighty Ninja Gal.

As it continues to roar with its fists in the air, the teens also stood their ground. Waiting for whom to make the first move, the outcome of the battle (for them, of course) was for the heroes to make sure that the robot is defeated at all cost.

Although he was nervous about this strange adversary, Mikey was curious to know the game plan of their attack. He whipped his weapon to fall under his armpits. "Uh,…guys? Anybody want to tell me how we're going to do this?" he wonders. They always got to have a game plan. Anything to succeed.

And as always, Leo was one step ahead of anyone. He crosses his swords in 'plus' shape. "Like we always do – together. Hit it so fast it can't rebuild itself." That is why he is leader. He always comes up with different tactics for every situation.

Now that they have a strategy, it was time to roll. "NOW!"

The ninjas wasted no time, charging at their opponent. Raph has leaped in the air and does a few stabbing with his Sais at the robot's shoulder; taking a few chunks. Mikey was on ground level; whacking his Nunchucks away at the robot's legs while taking a few more large pieces. Don was too high in the air as he brings his Bo Staff down and slams it into a part of the robot. Sally was also on ground level with Mikey. She aims for the legs as well. She brings her Kodachi and stabs in the shins. If it was a human being, it would hurt. A lot.

They were using everything that they have got to take down the robot.

And now, it was Leo's turn. He tries to do something that is completely different from what his siblings try to do to the robot. Once he has a clear opening, he runs up to the beast. He leaps into the air and heads straight for the android's right arm. Along with a forward roll, Leo uses the work of his Katanas and slice the wrist part of the bot's hand.

A second later after the attack, the whole hand…comes sliding off and lands on the ground with a thump just after the turtle has landed and runs away from Nano.

After a part has fallen, it only took a second for the bot's expression to change from furious to shock. And it only took another second for it to clutch its arm, lifts it up and screams in pain. Little nanobots begins to pour out of the robot's cut arm like it is blood from a fresh wound.

The Turtles and Sally have managed to secure a major assault on the robot. But was it enough? They all observed the behemoth to see what happens next.

The teens have now landed from their assaults on Nano. They all armed their weapons at ready; waiting for the bot to strike again.

A few moments later, the pain from the attack made by the terrible turtle, has subsided. Nano looks down; still clutching its hand its pained sliced arm, and sees the discarded hand on the ground. The smoke was emitting from the cut body part on the pile. Nano couldn't believe what they have done to it. These creatures and human have no idea what they are facing.

It then reaches down for it hand and part of it lights up. The nanobots were once again bus at work; restoring its big hand. They were all swirling around as they begin to finish connect the wires and tubes of the part. Once the swirl grey cloud has disappeared, Nano lifted it hand up to see. It wiggles its pipe-sized fingers to see that it is all connected. And it is ready for another brawl.

Although its hand has finally been put back together, the robot was now angrier than ever of why it was disconnected in the first place. And what does it do when it's angry? It goes to grab the first thing it sees. In the shape of the orange turtle.

Poor Mikey was taken off guard when Nano grabs him in its clutches. "Whoa!" he yelps before pulling away from his family and gets closer to the bot.

Leo was the closest to him as he tries to rush over to save his little brother. "Mikey!" he shouted as he tries to slice the hand with his Katanas. But he was too late. He didn't get to him in time to free Mikey.

With the turtle in its grip, Nano holds the captive mutant high above it head. Once he was high enough, the robot lets go of its grip; freeing the turtle, but not before grabbing him again. This time, by the leg.

The orange turtle could only be petrified by this turn of events. He was not to be expected to be capture and be dangling from a reasonable height. He was a ninja. He is used to heights like this. But not when you are in the clutches of a terrifying monster that might smash you into a million pieces. He was swinging upside down. A different shade of green was coming onto his face and not the good kind.

He lets out a few gasping yells while swinging side-to-side. The different shade of green was showing a bit more than his usual green skin on his face. "Whoa! Not good!" he yelled. The jokester of the group was not enjoying this ride for one bit at all. He was in the miss to throw up from the ride. But what Nano was about to do was to speed up the process.

The robot's hand starts to spin around in a continuous circle without moving its arm as well – whilst holding the turtle in its grip at the same time. "WHOA!" Mikey was now screaming for his life as what he had for dinner was about to come up.

Just after he got capture, Don was quick to think to race back into the Battle Shell and grab his new weapon of choice. Although he did leave the handheld torch at April's place, he always managed to carry around a few more; both in his home and in the truck. Once he has got the torch and with his goggles on, Don races out of the vehicle and heads towards his brother in trouble. "I'm coming, Mikey!" he cried out. His little brother needs all the help he can get.

And just in time too. Cause Mikey was about to find out what his dinner will now look like. At least the robot has stopped spinning him around for a bit. "Make it quick. I'm going to hurl – literally!" the orange turtle begged. The purple was now racing to his brother's aid by taking the nearest pile of garbage to reach him and the monster. Just as Don does a major jump toward the bot, the three-story hunk-of-junk simply punches the little turtle away with the other hand like it was nothing. This caused the smart turtle to lose his grip on his torch and falls flat on his shell and his goggles comes flying off his face.

Don sits up, whilst rubbing his sore head and shaking it from the impact as Raph rushes over to his side; placing his hand on his younger brother's shoulder. "It's fast," he said, looking at Nano. And that was a lot coming from an experience ninja who has trained in the art of speed during his years.

Mikey, still in the robot's clutches, has resumed spinning around at his mercy by the robot. Now, he was getting more sickening by the second. "That's not a good thing, Don!" He does not know how much longer he has to suffer.

While the robot is busy with its new toy, someone else has sneaked away to plan a secret attack.

The human has bought enough time to get behind the robot on another pile of garbage. Rather than jump in to save her brother like the others did, she decided to do something else. But first, she has to get the bot's attention.

"HEY, IRON BUTT!"

The robot has stop spinning the turtle in its grasp; causing him to have a breather, and looks behind to the source of the cry. Nano looks down to see a human child with her hands cupped around her mouth as she continues to bellow. "That's my brother you're messing with! Why don't you pick on a human instead, you bag of rusted bolts!" She hopes that her taunting would drag its attention on her instead of Mikey.

And it did. Nano then release the orange turtle from its grip; causing the mutant to fly in the air; letting out a "Whoa!" in the process and lands onto the garbage pile thus making him loses his grip of his weapons. His three brothers all watched the youngest member of the group roll down the hill like a certain nursery rhyme. As he lands on the bottom, he was now officially dizzy. At least, he was no longer in the bot's grip.

He takes a second to take a breath before looking up at his siblings. "So,…I'm gonna say that plan didn't go so well," he said; stands up from the ride that he doesn't want to go on again and joins the others. He was no longer in danger. Right now, the human of the group is Nano's main target.

Nano was still looking down on the girl. Sally now has got the robot to focus on. What scared the Turtles is when Nano lifted its arm in the air. What scared them even more is its target. Was Sally trying to get her killed or something?

Leo was definitely in panic mode. He was just about to race to his little sister. "SAL! Get out of the way!"

But the human still kept her ground. If she has predicted the robot's oncoming attack and her theory, this new move might actually work. Because like what happened before, it could work once again.

Nano's arm comes swinging down onto the kunoichi. A second before it makes contact with her, is when Sally whips her hands out in front as the arms was now just an inch away. Leo was about to take a step towards the direction to rushed to her aid, only to catch a glimpse of something concealing her.

Leo didn't have time to examine it, not just before the hand makes contact with…whatever that is surrounding the teenager before the hand goes flying back causing the robot to lose its balance and falls flat on its back.

The Turtles' mouth just simply dropped and their eyes went larger than their heads. Not only they saw their human sister still standing on her two feet and not a single scratch was on her, but a faint light blue bubble-shaped dome was covering all areas of herself.

Sally has once again instructed the Force Field for the second time of the night!

Guess her theory was right. When someone or somebodies is in trouble, Sally would be able to use that technique to protect either herself of anyone that is within her reach.

Last time it happened, it was covered in smoke that concealed it the first time. But now, only a small dust cloud was made from the impact.

With the robot down for the count, the barrier disappeared as Sally moves away from the pile and joins with the rest of the family. They were still trying to get a hold of themselves after what they have just witnessed. They couldn't believe what their sister has just pulled, even after she almost scared the wits out of them just before she almost got smashed.

Leo, out of all the Turtles, was the most impressed of all. She couldn't believe what she did. It was just like with his split-kick. It did take time to get it right. At first you don't succeed, try again. And he was right. She is the most talented girl that he has ever known. His face now pictures a satisfied smile.

"You actually go it?" he said. This can't be the first time she got this right? If she did, no wonder she was calm during that stunt.

Sally looks at her best friend; raising her eyebrow at him. "And you are surprised?" she joked.

But before they can congratulate her; Nano has once again recovered from the attack and was now on its feet. Right now, it was furious. More than ever. And it won't be satisfied until it has dealt with the nuisance once and for all. It raised its left fist – the same fist that it used to hurt the girl with – in the air; just hanging above the small fighters.

Salvadora may have got the Force Field up and running, it was still not enough for her since she just learned the techniques. It was time to move on. As ninjas, they always come up with a number of plans.

Don was standing next to his leader. "Plan B?" he asked.

The purple turtle has already read blue turtle's mind. "Plan B."

And what is this Plan B that they just said? Well, it involves the entire team to retreat back into the Battle Shell for cover. Since Sally was still a beginner in her supernatural powers and that there was nothing to stop this thing, they cannot defeated by hand.

Once they are all inside, the main door slides to a close as the truck starts up. Mikey has taken the driver's seat (while his siblings pray for their dear lives with the youngest at the wheel), with Leo taking the passenger's seat and Sally and Raph in the backseats. Don was the only one standing up.

The robot has already taking a few feet towards them. But just before it could grab hold of the truck, Mikey had the time to buckle up, hits the headlights on and slams on the gas; leaving the robot in its dust.

The Battle Shell is now on the run with the metal giant on their tails (or butt). Racing pass a number of garbage piles, the teens were now a bit worried of what the robot can do since most of the dump is from different types of technology.

But it still vulnerable to extreme heat. So, where in the dump that would have the right tools that can produce enough heat to stop this hunk of junk? Well, they have to survive the chase to find it.

Nano continue to stomp in its path while chasing the toy truck at high speed. Harry had taken the time to come out of his hiding spot to watch the show. He was just glad that the Turtles and the human girl with them are not after him. They are now too busy getting stomped by Nano. Right now, he was cheering for his robot kid. "Go get them, kid!" he cheers as he points at them. "You got them on the run!" Once Nano has dealt with them for good, it and Harry can finally move on with their new lives.

Still on its tails, Nano now bends down whilst still running, and reaches its hand at the speeding truck. A few more steps and Nano, to the teens' horror, manages to grab hold of the Battle Shell!

The vehicle itself was now accelerating on the spot. The ninjas are now trapped in the robot's clutches. But that is not the only thing that they have to worry about. Using its free hand, Nano slams its free fist on the side; creating small shockwave inside the truck that causes Don and Raph, who has got out of his seat, shaking them off their feet.

The Turtles and Sally are now in trouble. First, they were being chased by this think and now,…they are going to get smashed by it! They need to figure something out or else this will be it for them! The orange turtle was doing the best he can as he floors it. Hopefully enough horsepower would be enough to escape Nano's grip and resume the run again. But there doesn't seem to be a way to get out its grip. They can only pray that hope is on their side. Hopefully, hours of playing videos games like Grand Theft Auto or any car racing would actually pay off if they get out of this mess.

But it didn't say that a bunch of little nanobots suddenly appeared and starts to take vehicle apart – piece by piece. After the robot has stop smashing and starts to take the materials away from the outer structure, Don and Raph were back on their feet, now with their weapons out. From the inside, the two Turtles and Sally who looks behind, can see parts of the inside coming apart.

Don looks back to the driver's seat. "Faster, Mikey!" the purple turtle begged. "It's taking us apart!" That is something none of the teens want. All countless days of putting this fantastic machine together will be taken apart in mere minutes. All his work for nothing.

Mikey was doing the best he can't get away from the metal behemoth. His knuckles were still gripping on the wheel as he continues to have his foot on the accelerates. He too does not want to lose the truck of his dreams since he was the one who came up with the idea in the first place. He leans a bit forward in his driver's seat. "Well, I'm giving her all she got, captain." In any kind of situation that they are in immense danger, Mikey does always find a way to crack a joke. Especially if it is from Star Trek. "She cannot take no morrre!" the orange turtle rolled his tongue.

No time for jokes, little bro. Not when we are about to taken apart – bit-by-bit!

Leo was too scared in his shell. He was gripping his mutant hands on his seat. He needs to come up with a plan to shake Nano off their shells; just enough time to find something to deal with the bot once and for all. They know how to bet it. They just need to be free first. And Leo has got one part ready for a certain turtle that is itching for excitement.

"Raph, you're on," Leo instructed. "Shell Cycle time." At that exact time, the red turtle's helmet comes rolling on the floor of the shaking armoured car and rolled towards him. Raph picks it up and puts it on.

"Sure. I always have to do the crazy stuff," he grumbly mutters. Not he doesn't mind. It just that his little brother is always the one who gets to be bait. And Raphie here, is now the bait. He hops on his bike and revved the motor up. He was now ready for, as he calls it, the crazy stuff. All he has to do now was wait for the signal from his big brother.

Leo looks back in the vehicle to see Raph is ready to rock n' roll. "Keep it busy until we're in position."

Anything to take that hunk of junk down!

The back wheel of his bike went off as smoke was emitting from it. He was ready. The back doors of the Battle Shell have swinged open and at the same time, Nano, who was taken back from the unsuspected rider to pop out of the truck, was startled that it loses its grip of it.

Now the Battle Shell was free, time to get the shell away from the thing!

Raph was riding up the monster and flies over its shoulders as Mikey took the chance to floor it and drives away from it. The rider himself remains on the battlefield as he lands safety on the ground. He circle back to face the beast. He speeds up to it and rides circles around it.

A few more would make the Nano Monster very mad. Plus making it lose the sight of its new toy. Nano screeches at the top of its mechanical lung as it begins to chase after the new target. Raph continued to drive a few meters until he finds himself in front of the dump's Crusher. It was a nifty machine that has the power to crush a number of cars and a bus at the same time. Since they can't find anything to heat the Nano; thus destroying it, they could at least find the next best thing.

During the chase, Nano tries to smash the turtle on the bike with his fist. But the ninja himself was too quick and moves over to the one side of the Crusher – but out of the way for the next phase of the plan.

While Raph kept the robot busy, it was enough time for the Battle Shell to drive up right behind the smashing bot with its back towards them. The plan was now in motion.

"Now, Mikey! Ramming speed!" Mikey did what his big brother told him to do and slams the accelerator. The armoured truck itself was now going at high speed; preparing to ram the giant metal monster into the Crusher. Hopefully, it would be enough to destroy the beast. But if not…

Harry was still watching the match. While he sees his robot kid trying to smash the green turtle on a red bike, he did seem to notice the same green truck coming up behind the kid itself. And it wasn't unaware of it! He has to warn it!

"No!" He cupped his hands over his mouth. "Look out, kid!"

But Nano didn't have the time to move out of the way. Only had time to hear its daddy crying out for it.

The Battle Shell finally comes into contact with the android's legs; slamming its force into it. Thanks to the truck's speed and power, it was enough for the robot to start to tip forward. When someone hits you in the legs in the back, its makes their opponents go crashing down. That is just what is happening with Nano.

It then loses its balance and goes falling forward while swinging its arms around in a circle like someone is trying to gain some ground.

Nano was screeching as it falls and lands hard inside the Crusher. Once the bot was in, for some reason, the machine itself comes alive and the levels from each side began to push Nano into a tight spot. The Crusher continues to work its magic as sparks comes flying out of the nanobotic figure. And the screen that shows Nano's faces goes dark.

The robot has finally been destroyed.

Raph then joined his family's truck as he rides up his motorcycle up its side. He was now watching the crushing scene below. "Ouch! Looks like that did it," he said as the driver opens up the door up and pokes his head out.

"Yeah. He's flat broke," Mikey jested. The levels from the machine begin to retract back after it has completed its task. No longer standing as tall as a light post, Nano has been reduced to the size a shelf-sized box.

Sally has removed her seatbelt, stands up and sees through the glass window. Right now, she feels a bit uneased. If they have just destroyed that monster, then why does it feel like the battle is not over.

Apparently, it's not over.

As soon the Crusher shuts down, Nano powers up.

Its screen face lights up again; showing a very familiar furious look as the nanobots work its ability. They flow outside of the parts and begin to wrap the robot all over. It is now rebuilding itself…again.

Sally doesn't need to warn the guys because they are also seeing what they just witness. Mikey has officially taken his previous comment back. "You know, I'm going to stop with the puns," he spoke as Nano has finish reconstructing its hand and aims right at the green skinned freaks. The teens were now scared in their skins; especially the one who has taken the wheel and the one on his bike. "Seriously, they always come back to bite you."

For beings like Nano, they always do.

Just as Nano comes out of the Crusher, Raph rides away from it with the Battle Shell in pursuit. The giant robot was once again able and resumes its chasing. Guess Plan B didn't work.

At first he was petrified, Harry was now relived and happy to see that his kid is up and running. It doesn't seem like there is nothing that can destroy this robot. "Yes!" He delightfully holds his two fists up. "That's my boy." Harry was nonetheless very proud of his new partner-in-crime.

The chase was still on the roll. The teens were running out of time. They have to have a Plan C. There is always a plan in order to succeed. And that is when Leo faces behind him to see Don who was standing in the back. "How fast can you get into position?" he wonders.

"Consider me there," Don replied. If their theory is correct that any dumpster that has one, then Plan C should be able to work. After passing the same piles of garbage from before, Don manages to hop out the side door of the moving truck and quickly sneaks into a nearby small mountain. Lucky for him, Nano didn't seem to spot the small turtle as it was too busy chasing the giant truck in its path.

As they continue to drive in the path, Mikey takes a right in a different path; leaving the poor turtle on his red bike to be chased by the metal mammoth. Nano now has its attention on the red mutant as it continues to chase it.

Raph did not like this new twist in the plan. What is Leo planning? Let the monster chase me all night? Because Raph will be exhausted by the time morning will come. "Leo, tell me you got a Plan C."

Right now, he was connected with Raph through the Bluetooth via his helmet. Leo has his Shell Cell in one hand as Raph talks. "I'm really hoping you got a Plan C." Like always Leo has a plan for any of his plan if they come fruitless.

"Plan C…at twelve o'clock!"

Not too far from them and where Donnie has finally arrived, they lies a large crane. But this kind of crane has a large magnet attached to it. It was a Magnetic Scrap Metal Crane that is used to attach anything that is magnetic. Hopefully, the teens can use this to turn the tide around.

The purple turtle has used his time to get to the machine. He starts to climb up the ladder and sits in the control booth. He powers up the machine; ready for the signal. Through the small window of the crane, he sees Nano getting closer and closer with his brother Raph leading the hunt.

Raph was starting to panic. Does his siblings have a Plan C? Or were they just kidding? "Uh, guys,…Plan C? Now?"

Not yet, Raph. Not yet…

Not until it is close.

Nano raises its fist in the air; ready to smash the turtle into a million bits….

Holding onto two levels, Don thrusted forward. The boom of the crane move forward with the machine's magnet on a cable as it swings forward.

Nano's fist was just about to swing onto Raph's noggin, but only the turtle on the bike was moving. Nano was the one who is not moving. Its fist was still in place; not moving an inch. Just before it can do anything, its fist – and itself – was lifted into the air. It continues to fly upward as its body comes in contact with a large magnet. The same magnet that a purple turtle was operating.

It was finally trapped.

And hopefully, it was enough time for the teens to make their finally move to stop the bot.

Nano was now in a state of panic. It needs its daddy. And that's when daddy slides down the pile of garage and quickly rushes to his kid's aid. After seeing the entire scene, Harry was worried for his kid. Those aliens and the girl are hurting him! "No! Kid! Are you all right?" he cried out for Nano.

The robot kid lets out a shrieking cry. It is now dangling its arms and legs on the side and its body is now at the mercy of the large magnet. Right now, it needs daddy to set it free. And he better hurry.

As it tries to break free from its grasp, Don directs the machine's magnet as it makes its way to what could be the answer to stop the beast. The purple turtle stops moving the level just when Nano is now hovering above another device dunged into the ground and smoke was producing from it.

Nano was now over a Blast-Furnace.

A furnace that is up the scale of 200 degrees. Almost similar to the burning surface of the Sun. And it was burning enough heat to finish off Nano off with one move!

The robot was not aware of the bubbling hot pool right below it as it tries to pry itself off the magnet. But thanks to the intense power of the magnet, it was not budging. It was still stuck. Not until someone switches the magnet off. But who said it was going to be Donnie here?

Harry was now the one in a state of panic. He couldn't just sit by and let this happen. He has got to do something. He needs to save his kid. "Hang on, kid! Daddy's coming!" he yelled out as he races over to the one thing that can shut down the crane: a power box. Finding the box on one side of the machine and flip open the hatch. Inside the box are a bunch of colour wires and the main switch. Harry grabs hold of the switch. One flick of this and his kid will be free. Once it is free, they will run away together to another town where no-one will ever hurt his kid or him ever again. Not even those…strange aliens.

The crook wasted no time pulling down the switch. When it comes to the bottom, the power of the crane was then switched off. This causes the turtle to be baffled when the lights on the dashboard go dim.

"What?" he gasps. This is not what he was expecting. But what is about to happen is what he and the others are expecting.

Since the magnet was powered by the machine and since the machine was now turned off, it was the only thing keep hold of Nano.

The robot pushes the gadget off of him and breaks off the dead connection. The kid is free…but heading for the furnace below. Nano was screeching as it falls into the batch for its agonizing death. As much it wants to get away from it, it was too late. It has now took a big dunk into the melting, hot substance that even a human being will a lot of trouble to get out of because they would be already dead when they come in contact. The impact from the splash causes some of it to overflow and spill out of the container.

Sweat was now rolling down on Harry's horror face. He couldn't believe what he has just done. All he did was switch off the machine; hoping that it would save him from its trap. But it didn't. It made it worst.

"No! NO!" cried out the worried crook. He rushed over to the Furnace; hoping that his kid has survived the fall. The fire from the blistering furnace was now burning the oil as a giant hand in the air makes an appearance. Harry stops running to see his kid's hand. Was it ok? Is it going to survive? Apparently not.

"Da….dddddyyyyy…" that was the only thing it said before its hand slowly sinks into the molten fire. The thief himself falls to his knees; in despair and unable to take the pressure. He was now helpless to watch the scene unfold. With the destroyed robot inside the furnace, the doors of the machine slides to a close; preventing the robot to ever return if it's been revived.

Nano is finished.

Now, Harry the Pickpocket was left all alone. The aliens and the girl that his kid fought have left the dump when the bot was finished.

The human still had enough energy to stand up. He looks around in the space that he is in and sees something on his far right. Lying on the ground was a cracked Happy Theatre Mask. It was the same mask that his kid…took from the shop from a few hours ago. It was a way for the kid to show emotions since it didn't have a face when they met. And now,…it's was the only thing left from his kid.

Harry walks over to the item, kneels down and as gently as he is right now, he picks up the mask with care.

Nano is gone. His kid is gone. For the first time in his life, Nano was the only thing that…he actually cared for. But the way he raised the robot thanks to his crook lifestyle, he now realised that it was his big mistake. And now, he has to face the consequences. Tears were now well up inside his sad eyes and they began to escape. Police sirens were made in the distance and that they are getting closer to Harry's location.

"I can't believe you're gone. My one real lucky break," he then closes his eyes to mourn for his kid, "and I broke ya." Harry was now shaking his shoulder as he lets out a waterfall out of his eyes. "I—I—I'm sorry."

He continued to cry his tears out. He didn't seem to notice the police showed up. Three cars all surrounded the howling crook as the smoke from the closed-up furnace was escaping through the crack.

With the battle of the night draws to a close, the Turtles and Sally all decided to retire back to their friend's shop for a good night sleep. And to finish the rest of their sleepover. With the crook locked up and the robot destroyed, their friend, April, and the rest of the neighbourhood can finally rest easy with the jewel thief is now behind bars.

Don has taken the wheel with Leo still in the passage seat, Sally in the seat behind him and both Mikey and Raph are sitting in the back seat. Although they have defeated the metal beast, one of them couldn't help but feel bit sympathy. Practically for their rival. "You know,…I feel kind of bad for the little bot," Mikey spoke up.

Raph raised an eyebrow. "Little?" Why would he feel sorry for the robot that was almost about to crush us?

Mikey crossed his arms over. "You know, it was kind of like a little kid."

The gang all understand what he meant. The way that the robot was acting, it feels like the crook was its dad for real and the robot kid was his kid. They completely understand with Splinter as their father.

"Too bad he had such a rotten parent," Don added. If the robot was raised by a better parent, it would turn out a lot better or worse in some cases.

They were only a few blocks away from the destination when Leo turns around to face the human behind him. "That was very impressive of what you did."

Sally looks up to her best friend. She thinks she knows what he is talking about. The new Telekinetic move that she pulled earlier – the Force Field. She didn't think that she could do it but she did. Just like with Leo and his split-kick the other day.

She smiles at the blue turtle. "I know. I didn't think I would have got it right away. I'm just glad it did when I needed it."

Raph, plus everyone in the truck, needs to know one thing. "So,…what exactly makes your power tick?"

The kunoichi then becomes speechless. Does she know? Or what she did was luck of what she pulled? Or was it something much, much bigger that this? "To be honest, I…don't know." She looks to the side. "Maybe…"

Leo still looks at her. "Maybe…what?

She raises her head up a bit. Should I tell them that whenever they are in trouble, it happens? But instead, she lets out a sign and shakes her head to the sides. Maybe another time. "You know what? It's been a long night. I could really use some sleep."

Not wanting to tick her off, Leo gives her reassuring nod. "Yeah. I guess you're right." It's true. They were all tired. All they could use is a good few hours of zzzs.

Don has already driven them up to a very familiar alleyway. As they come around the corner, the Battle Shell comes to a complete stop just outside the back door to the shop. The last time that they saw their friends was when Casey was all wrapped up from the big and April was playing nurse. They just hope that the two of them got along and Casey wasn't using his injury to make a move on the older women in the group. Don turns off the engine and the teenagers all pilled out of the truck. They all head towards the door.

"Besides, I'm just glad the fighting's over," the blue turtle added.

"Take care of me? I only got hurt because I was saving you."

"Ohhh, so you think I need saving, is that it?"

Leo was first to open the door as he and the others all stepped inside. In the centre of the shop were two of their human friends and they are…arguing?

Casey was no longer wearing the bandage wrapped around his chest. Now, it has been replaced by his red singlet and was standing up. Guess he is healed from his injuries. He was on one side and April was on the other.

They didn't even notice that their friends have returned and entered the shop because they were too busy launching at each other with words. And not nice ones too. The Turtles and Sally all stand there to watch the scene in stunned. This is not how they left things just a while ago. At first, Sally thought April felt sorry for the Vigilante. But whatever he did to her, the older women has no reason to feel bad for the numbskull. So, what did Casey do this time to make April furious with him now?

"You twist around everything I say. Ha, women!" Casey criticizes the shop keeper. Sally, right now, completely understands how April is feeling. She crossed her arms over and gives him a stern look. Don't blame her, tough guy. Whatever you did is completely your fault!

Now, it was April turn to speak. "Boy, of all the myopic, misogynistic—"

"Jeez." Casey then did something that he didn't mean to, but made April more furious. He unintentionally knocks a nearby vase with his left hand and smashes onto the ground, into a hundred pieces. "How can we even talk if you won't speak English?" He thinks that breaking her things doesn't really matter, but it matters to her. This is why she is absolutely mad at him at this moment.

April turns back to face after she witness one of her items destroyed, thanks to him. "I told you to watch the antiques, you big ape."

Sally shakes her head. Man, he really is a bonehead.

The two adult continue to argue with the teens still watching. Should they speak up; letting them know that they have returned or something? If so, it would be very awkward.

Mikey decided to say something to his siblings so that the other two wouldn't hear them. "I think they want to be alone." The rest of the teens couldn't agree more with their brother stating the obvious.

"Nobody said you even had to come over here in the first place," April snaps at Casey.

"Wasn't my idea," the Vigilante defends himself.

"Oh, yeah?"

"YEAH!"

"Ugh."

Yep. This is definitely the start of a new friendship with Casey Jones and April O'Neil.

With one enemy down, how many will our heroes will face in the certain future? And will Sally get some of her answers to her hidden past? When will tonight's pizza be finished? A lot will happen next time on:

The Saint's Hope: Darkness on the Edge of Town.

Author's Notes: Normally, I would have the next chapter by Monday night, but with a lot of things happening in my life, I don't seem to have the time in the world to simply to sit down and write the next chapter and upload it on the designated time and date. So sorry for the long wait. You guys have no idea what went on my life. I did say I would until Oz Comic Con, I would upload a chapter fortnightly, but I didn't get any time of the weeks of writing the next chapter. So, I thank you for your patience.

First thing first. I forgot in my last chapter that I forgot to mention that I went and saw Captain America: Civil War. And let's just say…MIND BLOWN! It was so incredible! After understanding the whole one against another thing, I'm pretty much on Team Cap! He was willing to protect his friend who has been brainwashed. I also now have a crush on Black Panther! There are so many scenes I wanted to talk about but I don't want to risk spoilers if you guys haven't seen it.

Plus, I did get a chance to see The Angry Birds: The Movie. It was more of a fun kid's movie but I didn't care, it was pretty good though. The next one is….TMNT 2! After seeing SO many trailers and TV spots, I am SO ready for it! Plus, with it already aired in the States and some of you might have seen it already in the UK. So,…NO SPOILERS! Waiting for it to come out for me!

I did say for my cosplay, I did dressed up as a Ninja Turtles. Make that Leonardo! Photos from the OZ Comic Con have been uploaded as we speak. I was also having trouble with my mask and harness but I managed to fix it up. On Twitter, I am known as Jessie Order Production. Check it out!

My time in Sydney was…AMAZ-ING! The Vivid show at the Sydney Opera House was so beautiful! I certainly had a nice time up at my brother's place.

By the way,…saw the movie…

…

…can we just say…COWABUNGA!

I could NOT take my eyes off the whole time! You have no idea the feels of seeing this movie! So much has happened that I would love to talk about it! Just PM me or review about what you guys think of the movie. I would love to hear what you guys have to say!

And finally, OZ Comic Con was AWESOME! I saw a lot of people dressing up, there were so many exibahtions and I have met a few guests there including Monica Rial who plays Bulma from DBZ! So nice and so energetic! I was so tired that I didn't have time to finish off the rest of the chapter. But with that's out of the way, it was time to focus more on my story!

So, in the meantime, don't forget to review, add me or the story to favourites or follow. Really love to hear any more of my fans for both the TV series and the new movie!

Until we meet again,
