Angel: I know that the turtles discovered the mutant pizza place in this one, which I wasn't expecting, to be honest. And I'm aware that Amy isn't familiar with it like they are in the Fast and the Furriest episode, but I can handle the fact that she's with them in this episode. *waves it off* I couldn't predict this episode taking place before one I've already published.

Oh, and please...tone down the ideas for this story. If you guys trust me for 4 years that I've been doing this to give you awesome stories, then certainly you can trust me to write this story. I'm definitely no expert here, no one is, and I'm not perfect with my stories, can't deny that. But I'd like to think that people trust me to give them a good story at this point. If I were the reader instead of the writer, I would definitely have faith in that writer.

Yes, I appreciate the thought and your lovely imaginations, but please XD I've-I've honestly had enough of getting new ideas every single time I update this. Just...calm yourselves down a bit, please? I still want to hear new ideas from you guys, but keep it simple. There is already enough in my mind for just one episode, I don't want to do anything drastic to my visions. I'm very particular about that.

Regarding the episode The Longest Fight, it's the 16th one, so that's not going to be updated anytime soon. As soon as I find it, I'll write it, but I won't publish it until I get there. I don't want to post it and then delete it every time a new episode comes out.

The turtles are demonstrating their powers as Raph makes a giant red wave appear. They're on top of a building near an alley. Amy's not there because she's out making her night deliveries before she closed up tonight. After weeks of them begging, she finally gave in and decided to teach them some moves with their weapons. They were making good progress, and since she couldn't be there at the moment, she encouraged them to try them out. They still wanted to know...how did she know what to do? Like she's shown before, she knows how to use them and what to do with them. Donnie tried asking once, and he ended up getting a slap to the face. Their curiosity was still there, mind you, but after that attempt, they didn't dare ask. They'll find another way to get information soon.

"Ooo, cool," Donnie comments dryly at Raph's move. He didn't need mystic powers, he already knew his skills were better off without a mystic weapon.

"Oh yeah!" Mikey exclaims as he spins his burning whip in the air. He tries to attack Raph, who blocks his attempt with his arms. Mikey lands between his two brothers, still spinning the whip. "Check this out! Power burn jitsu!" The fire escalates as it approaches Raph.

"Uh oh," Raph is caught in the fire tornado. "Hot, hot, hot!" He smirks at Mikey's new move. "Not bad, not bad. But check out these puppies! Total power jitsu!" He makes his red fists appear, dissolving the fire. His brothers look at him in awe, as they didn't know he could even do that. Leo instantly pushes Raph so he could have his time.

"If you guys wanna see some real skill, look right here," He brags, Raph staring down at him. "I'm gonna make a portal to New Jersey!" He swings his sword, twirling it into a circle, but nothing happens. He couldn't really control his portal power, as it doesn't do anything when he wants it to. "Come on, power portal jitsu." He groans, internally grateful that Amy's not here to see this. He swings again, but no portal appears. His brothers just watch him silently until he makes one. "Yeah!"

Raph can't help but laugh as it's not even half Leo's size. "That's not gonna get you across the street, let alone to Jersey!" He chuckles as Mikey reaches out to the portal in awe. "Have you been paying attention to Mellie's lessons at all?"

"I've been paying attention...maybe." He answers sheepishly, the other turtles giving him a blank look. He probably got distracted by her again. "Okay, buuut," Leo reaches through it and another portal opens up behind him. "See, it's practical, which makes it better." He starts scratching his shell, but that was to take attention away from the fact that he can't make a good portal. Also he wished it was his lady scratching his shell instead. Those soft bands could do wonders. Donnie is doing something to his googles near the edge. Mikey looks over to him.

"Hey Donnie, what are you doing, bud?"

"Well, while you guys and Amy took flashier items from Draxum, I on per hand, took a more cerebral one," He holds up the crystal he took from the underground city. "See, this crystal, combined with the elements-"

"Get to the point," Leo interrupts in boredom, Donnie glaring at him. He'd much rather hang out with Amy than to listen to this. The turtle sighs to himself at the thought of his lady.

Donnie inserts the crystal inside his goggles. "Now I can see all of the mystic energy hidden around New York, you're welcome and thank you," He puts his goggles back on his head and pulls them down. Raph joins him at the edge.

"Whoa, that's awesome," He comments, and sees a laundromat down below. "Hey, what about that laundromat?"

Donnie looks closer. "It looks like a...laundromat." He can also see a cat licking itself, but nothing out of the ordinary. An old woman is walking by with a cart. "But what do we have over here?" He pulls down his goggles again and sees red mystic energy coming from the woman. "Whoa, underneath that old lady's skin is some sort of fire mutant thing." The woman looks around as she's standing in the alley to make sure she's not being watched. She waves her finger in front of a graffiti-covered wall and blue fire comes from it, opening a secret mystic doorway to somewhere. She walks through the wall, leaving behind the cart.

"She just disappeared into that wall!" Mikey exclaims, hands on his cheeks.

"I believe she went into some sort of cool mystic pizza place," Donnie speaks, slapping away Leo's hand from his goggles.

"Pizza!" Mikey looks down at his stomach. "Guys, my blood sugar's getting low. I need to eat! Bad!"

They jump down from the building, landing in the alley right in front of the wall. "Step aside," Leo stands in front of them. "Let's put the second-prettiest face first," he gestures to himself. His brothers look at him in confusion at his wording. He wouldn't tell anyone, but he only thought of one person who was prettiest and that was his pink-a-boo.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Raph answers skeptically. Leo could be a little bit too confident in himself at times.

"Why?" Leo asks in disbelief, "The only one who's gonna get us inside is me!" He starts waving his fingers, but the skeleton head just blows a raspberry at him.

"Nice try, pretty boy," Raph pushes Leo, waving his hand. The blue flame appears and the wall opens. "Awesome!" He jumps through, followed by Donnie and Mikey.

"Don't leave me!" Leo calls out as he falls behind. Raph squeezes his eyes shut and when he opens them, he sees a regular pizza place, but with mutants. It was almost like the mutant city they saw, but smaller. These mutants act like regular humans, especially with the waiters. It was almost like they were living a normal life. Donnie and Mikey step forward, Raph stopping them.

"Alright, alright," He holds them up in the air. "Everybody be cool. This is our first time in a classy restaurant...uh, establishment."

"Hey guys," they hear, turning around to see only Leo's head through the wall. "This wall is definitely broken." His body is stuck on the other side, with pigeons resting on it. He gasps as he hears something behind him and stays quiet. A bike pulls up next to the alley and the person gets off, walking up to Leo's body. "Guys, guys, someone's behind me!" Leo sweats nervously and their eyes all widen. He tries not to move as he could hear something clicking. "What do I do, what do I do?!"

"I don't know!" Raph tells him as the person stops right in front of Leo's body.

"What...is going on with this?"

Leo sighs in relief as Amy is standing at the wall, her helmet off as she holds it against her hip. She's not in her bakery uniform, as she doesn't wear it with her deliveries. She would usually wash it at home before she did her hourly deliveries. It's because it would always smell like cake and flour and she didn't want that around the customers.

"My lady!" Leo exclaims happily and she sighs slowly. Brit Worley suddenly comes out of nowhere as he was spying on Amy while she was riding her bike. He shakes off some trash as some toilet paper is stuck to his shoe.

"Time for my revenge!" He declares and Amy smirks, pulling out a can from her bag. Leo listens in on the conversation.

"Hey, before you start, hold onto this for me," She tosses it to him. He catches it easily. After all, it was just a harmless can, so he didn't care for her minor request.

"And now, I will-" A bunch of black cats appear around him and he backs away. "W-What?! Get away from me!"

"Cat food does wonders in an alley like this," She winks at him and he runs away screaming as she turns back to Leo, who's laughing. She's been past this alley many times, so she was prepared for things like this...well, except for her 'friend' stuck in a wall. That was new.

"You know...I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should just leave you here," She murmurs, glancing at her bike, as she still had one last delivery. She is talking to him through brick, and she couldn't even begin to describe how weird it was. She's already wasting enough of her time.

"No, wait! Don't leave! I, uh...need some help," Leo says nervously as his brothers don't bother to do anything.

"With?" Amy questions skeptically, throwing her helmet onto her bike's seat.

"Could you push me inside here?" He sweats a bit and one of Amy's eyes twitch.

"That...is a tall order, wonder turtle. I'm not done with my deliveries and I have to ask...why do you need to go through a wall? And how you are even through this wall at all is what boggles my mind." Not only that, she didn't want to feel any part of him when all she could see is his butt and his shell. It felt weird just thinking that.

The other turtles can't help but snicker at Leo's struggle and slight embarrassment. This is not how he wanted his lady to see him.

"Oh, well, we followed someone and she made this portal appear," Leo starts off, glaring at his brothers for their laughing, "And it leads to this cool mutant pizza place, you should really come inside!"

"Stop," Amy holds out her hand, "You know for a fact that I don't do mutants besides you guys and I'm technically still working. So I think I'll just be on my way."

Leo smirks to himself as he has leverage. He knows just how to get her inside. Amy's eyes widen at his silence, backing away in horror. "Leo, don't you dare."

"In 3."

"This isn't gonna work, you know!"

"2." Leo's smirk widens.

"I swear if you do it-"

"1."

"I'm not listening to this!" Amy is about to walk away.

"Come on, Amy, let's go party~" Leo sings in the tone of Barbie Girl by Aqua, the other turtles fist bumping at each other.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Amy groans, dragging a hand down her face in defeat. She absolutely hated that song so much, it was so cheesy. If she didn't help, he'd continue, and god forbid if she let that happen. "Fine! You win, I'll go inside, but I'm disguising myself!" Amy pulls a cloak from a clothespin above and drapes it over her shoulder, pulling the hood over her head. She pauses as she stands in front of Leo's body as she doesn't know where to touch him...or where she didn't want to touch him.

"Like what you see?" Leo grins and she rolls her eyes, kicking him inside with her foot. She jumps in behind him and glares down at him.

"I hate you so much right now."

"To love or to hate, that is the question," He grins up at her, the other turtles greeting her.

"Hey Amy."

"Sup Mellie."

"Hi!"

Raph turns around and sees a booth. "Hm, a table. What do we do?"

"Okay, be cool," Donnie reminds him as Amy covers her face. "I think we just sit at it and ask for stuff." They all glance at Amy for confirmation, who gives them a thumbs up.

"Uh, like regular people?" Mikey asks, Amy giving him a look. "Ohh, right. Sorry."

Raph just shrugs and starts walking. "I think here we are regular," Donnie replies, Leo shaking his fist at that dang wall.

"This place needs to be fumigated," Amy comments in disgust. She already wanted to leave, the place was crawling with unnatural things and she didn't like it.

"Never forget, you are a champion, bro," A large mutant with a cape walks past Leo, high-fiving his friend.

"Thanks bro. I was having a real exponential crisis!"

Leo glances to where they came from and looks in awe at a doorway. The sign says 'Prove you're a champion.' This is definitely up his alley. He glances at Amy, who sits with the others as her pink cloak hides her body. His eyes sparkle as he could see it now. She'd definitely look at him in a likable way if he became a champion! And besides, he needed to prove that not only for himself, but for his brothers too.

He walks through the doorway, looking in shock at all the pictures. They cover up the whole wall. All of these mutants became champions? Leo's eyes sparkle as he steps forward, as it wasn't too far away for him to become one of them.

"Whoa ho ho," A skeleton man stops him from moving forward.

"Aw, ew, gross," Leo looks at him in disgust as the arm is actually being held with the right hand.

"Oh no, no, no, no, this is not for you," Skeleton man puts his arm on his shoulder.

"Prove you're a champion. Oh, this is definitely for me," Leo gestures to himself.

Skeleton man chuckles, "Well, no, it's not. You, my friend, are not a champion, so-"

"But you see, bone man, and can I call you bone man?" Leo doesn't wait for an answer as he gestures to himself again. "I am a champion and I wanna know what's behind your robe."

"Well you need not to be concerned with el labrinto de la muerte. Or as you would call it, The Maze of Death," Skeleton man retorts back. Leo, to him, was average and not capable of handling it.

"Ominous," Leo comments to himself, "Also, a question. When I solve your Maze of Death, what do I get?"

"You get your picture immortalized in our Wall of Champions. Also, pizza," He points to a sign that says 'World's Greatest Pizza.' "The World's Greatest Pizza."

"Well, guess whose face is about to go on that wall?" Leo asks with a grin. "I've solved all kinds of mazes. You're looking at the maze master, mister." Actually, he hasn't gone through that many mazes. But what actual harm could it do to him?

"Be warned," Leo opens an eye. "In this maze, the use of mystic powers is strictly forbidden.

Ooo, that could be a problem. But a simple maze shouldn't be that hard. "No powers? Perfect, I never touch the stuff, I'm old-school."

Skeleton man sighs in defeat. "Fine. Would you like to enter alone?"

"You know what, make it for five." His brothers and Amy were hungry, so why do plain disgusting pizza when the world's greatest pizza could be way better than what they've had. Quality trumps everything and the maze was only a minor battle. "Because what's the point of being a champion if you can't rub it in your brother's face?" He wanted to brag Raph that he could be way better than anyone. And he also wanted to impress Amy.

"Sweet salvation," Mikey is about to dig into a slice when Leo smacks it away from his hands. "Hey!" The pizza, which landed on a customer, is eaten by a mutant lizard. "My salvation!"

"Come on, what are you doing?" Leo asks while Mikey is crying. "Don't eat that run of the mill garbage when you can have the world's greatest pizza?" He gestures to the sign.

"Oh please," Donnie denies while Raph is patting Mikey on the head in comfort. "Every place in New York claims to have the world's greatest pizza."

"Advertisement is overdone these days, unfortunately," Amy rolls her eyes, crossing her arms. "Take it from someone who knows business, don't believe everything you read."

"I take offense to that, senorita," Skeleton man points his arm at her and she slaps it away without a care.

"Let me tell you something, senor, if you point that nasty arm at me, you're gonna lose your other one!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this pizza is behind a velvet rope," Leo points to the red velvet rope. "Velvet rope, guys. Velvet rope," Leo gets smacked by Skeleton Man. Amy grins at him, as she disliked him a little less, but only a little. "You know that means quality!" He puts his arms around them. They knew he wasn't going to stop until they agreed.

They move past the curtain and the curtain immediately disappears behind them, closing off their access. Leo grins, chuckling as he got them through.

"Leo, what is this place? Thought you said we were getting pizza," Raph says as they look at the structure in front of them. It looks like a giant labyrinth with something glowing green in the center. From the top, it looks like a pepperoni pizza.

"It's nothing," Leo dismisses it. "We just gotta solve an easy, straight-forward maze first," That last word is echoed.

"Wait, what? I didn't sign up for a pre-meal maze," Raph looks around as Leo is grinning.

"Yeah," Mikey rubs his tummy. "This looks really hard. My tummy wants easy food."

"Don't worry, just follow me," While he's talking, Amy is standing behind him, mocking him as she's moving her hand. "All I need is my pink-a-boo to encourage me!" She cringes at that as her eyes widen slightly. Then it turns into annoyance as she groans to herself. "Onward, boys and my lovely lady!" He walks forward and Amy's eyes twitch slightly at the lovely part. Raph pats her shoulder as they walk past her. She gets shocked and coughs up some smoke.


"Left here, follow my lead," Leo tells them as they end up in a dead end. "Left again."

"No!" Raph argues at another dead end.

"Yes!"

"No, we're lost!"

Tears come to Mikey's eyes as he presses his cheek against the wall. Getting pizza seemed so hopeless now.

"Guys, trust me. It's this way," Leo replies as they slowly follow, getting bored and impatient. Everything just looked the same to them, it was a wonder if they've crossed every single corner twice.

"Leo, we've been trusting you for hours, and we've gotten nowhere," Amy gestures to the maze. "Why should I even have to tell you that?"

"Maybe I'd guide us better if I got a little reward, hmm?" Leo leans in close and she stiffens, eyes darting around nervously as the turtle moves closer. He puckers up his lips and she places her hand over his mouth quickly.

"Not a chance, wonder turtle," She deadpans and they hear a growling noise. They all turn over to Mikey, who's clutching his stomach.

"That's not my tum tum," He tells them. Amy listens closer as she knows what that sound is.

"That sounds like ba-"

"No, no, no, that is the sound of baking. We must be close! We're so in sync, you and I," Leo winks at Amy, who narrows her eyes at him. He stops in his tracks. "Wow, look at this. They make the pizza right in front of you!" They are these pizza utensil mutants who are supposedly making pizza. There's a pizza cutter one and a cheese grater one. The pizza gets thrown into an oven, which is also a mutant. Leo walks up to them.

"Can we get five extra larges? One meat-lovers, one definitely not Hawaiian, okay how does everybody feel about olives?" Leo takes Amy's hand, brings it up gently to his lips, and kisses it. "And one cherry soda for my lady if you got any."

Amy scoffs, taking her hand back. "A soda? Really?"

"Okay, a diet cherry soda," He grins at her and she rolls her eyes silently with a small smile. He still got the cherry part right, at least, as it was one of her favorite flavors...not that she'd let that slip out. He probably guessed it since she has them at her store. The mutants stare at them, growling.

"Uh, looks like they hate olives," Mikey comments nervously. The mutants run up to them, along with a rolling pin as the oven hops over.

"Okay, okay, we don't need olives!" Leo blocks swords with the pizza cutter one as Donnie is punched by the cheese grater. Mikey gets hit by the rolling pin. Raph punches his hands and punches the cheese grater, only to have to duck by a grater.

"Whoa!" His mask tails are slightly cut off. "Nice try Shred-Head. Try my mystic punch jitsu," He pulls out his tonfas, his red energy appearing on his arms. Leo sees him and cuts the pizza mutant cutter in pieces. He runs up and trips in front of Raph.

"No mystic powers!"

"No mystic powers?" Raph asks in confusion, as Leo would never tell him not to use them. He gets pinned down by the cheese grater and one slice later, he's cut in half by Leo. He smirks, placing his sword on his shoulder.

"Ahh!" They turn to see Donnie trying not to get burned alive by the oven mutant. "Help, help!" Amy runs into action and pushes Donnie to the ground, Raph throwing the oven mutant into the rolling pin one. It breaks into pieces and Raph turns to Leo for an explanation.

"What's up with this maze, Leo? I almost got my cheeks grated," He steps closer and Leo looks away, gasping as he sees something. In the middle of the maze, where the green light was, there is a large statue holding a pizza box. It has sausage, pepperoni, onions, and mushrooms on it with the finest cheese.

"Relax, we solved it! The pizza's just over-" Their path is closed off. "Oh no, it's closing!" The path right next to them closes off, and so does the one behind them. The other turtles start freaking out as they're now stuck in that one spot.

"Oh, come on!" Leo slams his hand against the brick, Raph walking up to him.

"Now why can't I just use my power punch and take down this wall?" He demands and Leo turns around.

"Funny story, but I may have left one little thing out," Leo pinches his fingers together. "The only rule in the Maze of Death is no mystic powers."

"Maze of what now?" Raph asks in confusion.

"Wait, what did you do?" Amy looks at him, narrowing her eyes.

"Okay, two things," Leo corrects himself as the walls start to shake. They start moving and Donnie looks up to see spikes appearing on the wall in front of him.

"Aw no," Mikey backs away to Donnie as the same thing happens on the other wall. Fire emits from one of the holes and Donnie jumps out of the way.

"Uh, guys?" He calls out as Raph is staring down Leo.

"Not now, Donnie. What's going on here, Leo?" Raph crosses his arms as Leo has been acting suspicious during this whole maze thing.

"Nothing, we're just here to get pizza...and to get my photo on the wall of champions," He whispers that last part as Mikey dodges fire, Amy yelping as she has to slide underneath one. Mikey's head is on fire. Her eyes widen as she remembers what Leo said.

"Wait, so you tricked us in here to get your stupid picture taken on some dumb wall?!" She exclaims angrily, stepping up to him as she points to him in anger. "I'm risking my life for that?! And you just expected us to look over that because there was pizza involved, didn't you?"

He did not want to tell her the other reason, so he wasn't going to. If he did, she'd probably laugh at him or wouldn't want to do anything with him anymore. He couldn't have his pink-a-boo hate him.

"Aha! I knew we weren't here for pizza!" Raph accuses, as he suspected something was up. Mikey freaks out at the fire. "You wanted to come here so you could get your picture on the wall," Mikey runs around screaming. "To prove you're the best at something!" Amy glances at Mikey and gasps, running after him. Donnie and Amy pull out their weapons, extinguishing Mikey with foam.

"That's what I just said," Leo admits, sagging his shoulders while the other two are dealing with the fire, spikes, and other things.

"Don't try to deny it, Leo. I got you!"

"I'm not trying to deny it," Leo points out, as he admitted it.

"Can you actually do something useful and HELP US FOR A CHANGE?!" Amy calls out as the walls close in. She thinks to herself. There's a rule about mystic powers, but not about natural powers. Amy takes a deep breath and moonwalks, electricity following her feet. It hits the brick wall, but it does nothing. Amy gives a sound of shock that her powers didn't work.

"We're trapped, how are we gonna get out of here?" Leo asks in fear.

"MAKE A PORTAL!" The others yell at him.

"I can't, it's against the rules. I'll never get my picture on the wall of champions," Leo looks down. And then he wouldn't make a difference, he'd be a loser!

"Who cares about some picture when we're gonna be crushed?" Raph retorts back.

"Fine," Leo groans in defeat. Amy glances at the other turtles and steps up to him.

"Hey...just remember what I said during our training sessions, and you'll be fine," She places her hand on his shoulder. His eyes widen nervously as he didn't really listen to her lessons at all...He tries to make one appear.

"I can't do it. I got no mystic mojo, I'm useless."

"What!" Amy exclaims in disbelief at him. "Leo, you know you're not useless. You're so much more than that. You're charming, you're funny, and..." She leans in and whispers. "You...understand me."

Leo's eyes widen at that as he looks at her. Amy looks away like she didn't say that, scratching her nose. He smiles to himself at her words.

"Hey," Raph puts his arms around his shoulder. "That's not true, brother. You just gotta believe in yourself and know this. If I die in this maze, I will haunt you for the rest of your life."

"Well in theory, you'd both be ghosts, so I'm not sure how you would-"

"Donnie!" Raph yells, turning around. "Not helping!"

"You know, it'd really help me if you guys said that I was your champion," Leo looks like he's about to cry as he wanted to hear that so bad. Raph pushes him forward.

"Just go and do it!" The other turtles yell. Leo holds his sword, Amy glancing nervously at the spikes.

"You can do this, Leo," She encourages and he smiles at her nervously.

"I didn't listen in on your training."

"Wait, what?!"

Leo glances around instead of answering, whispering to himself, "You're a champion." He swipes his sword and a circle appears, but nothing else. He groans and Amy groans, walking over to him.

"Like this," She stands behind him and guides his hands, holding them over hers. Leo's face turns red as he smiles happily at her touch. She moves his hands along with the sword and a portal appears. Leo and Amy glance at each other, both of them realizing their position. Amy quickly lets go of him, whistling as she looks away. She was only trying to help him, and it worked. So why was she so nervous?

"I did it! Oh, I really am the best at-" Raph grabs everyone and jumps through the portal. He struggles to get through due to his size, but manages at the last second. The portal opens up to another part of the maze and they fall from it, landing in front of the statue. Leo looks around as he recognizes where they are.

"We're at the center of the maze," He takes the pizza box. "We got the pizza!" The others cheer at their victory. "I am the champion!"

The statue's head suddenly moves and Leo's eyes widen.

"Cheaters!" He cringes as the voice booms, "Who dares to try and eat my pizza without following the strict customer agreement?"

"That can't be good," Donnie looks up at the statue as vines appear. Mikey and Donnie scream, scrambling away from it.

"You can't escape me," The vines attack them all. Mikey uses his whip to chop off the ends. "I am the assistant manager of this maze! And the maze does what I want!" Mikey is thrusted in the air by a pillar from the ground. "And in corporate agreement!"

Donnie runs as he turns a corner, trying to escape the vines. He yelps as he turns around, only for the pathway in front of him to turn into a dead end. "Oh no," He says as he realizes he's trapped. A bunch of vines surround him.

Leo cuts off vines left and right, but one of them grabs his leg. Amy's weapon turns into a boomerang with blades at the ends and she throws it, cutting off several of them. She jumps back a few feet and spins on the floor, emitting electricity from her feet. She slices some vines straight off with the bolts. Suddenly, the vines surround her and she gets tangled up in them, muffling her protests as they cover her mouth. The same thing happens to Raph.

"Uh oh," They're all brought forth to the statue as there's an explosion.

"One, you cut up my maze, you cheated! Now you will all pay!" A minotaur mutant with fluffy blue hair declares, fire appearing on her hand and behind her. The fire turns into a hand and Leo realizes he had to do something. All of this was his idea, after all.

"Wait!" The fire hand stops as everyone looks at Leo. "I'm the one who cheated. I created the portal to save my brothers and my lady! Punish me, their champion."

"Yes, punish him!" His brothers exclaim, Leo glaring at them.

"You all tried to cheat out of my world's greatest za!" She exclaims angrily.

"How can you call the world's greatest?" Leo struggles in the vines. "How do you know we haven't had better?"

"What do you mean, better?" She asks, diminishing the fire. "You're not talking about Famous Minotaur Pizza on 19th, are you?"

Leo glances away. Maybe if they tricked her into giving them the pizza, she'd let them go. "Ohhh, man. You talking about FMP on 19th? Oh ho, I love that place." The vines tighten around him before they let the group go.

"That garbage that's called pizza?" She takes the pizza box, descending down to them. "Wait until you try mine!" She opens up the box and they look in awe before the slices are shoved into their mouths. They swallow them up, humming happily, even Amy.

"Pizza good."

The minotaur manager looks on in approval. "Best you've ever had?"

"Really appreciate you letting us go, it was the right thing to do," Donnie comments.

"Who's your champion now, guys?" Leo brags, everyone else glaring at him that he risked their lives for that. "They'll come around. First, where do we go to get our picture taken for the wall of champions? Cause I wanna make sure they capture my good side." The manager slams down the pizza box.

"Wrong wall." Suddenly everything is black as there's a flash.

They got their picture, alright...on the cheater's wall.


"I can't believe I got my picture!" Leo exclaims happily at the alley where they found the mutant pizza place.

"Yeah, on the cheater's wall," Donnie points out.

"Still a picture!"

Amy rolls her eyes as she's getting her bike ready. Donnie, Mikey, and Raph glance at Leo. They were silently telling him that he needed to apologize for risking Amy's life for that and for being all cocky and for not paying attention to her training...there was a whole list they could come up with on the spot. Raph pushes Leo forward and he bumps into Amy.

"Sorry," He smiles sheepishly, rubbing his neck as she doesn't look amused. "My lady...I'm-I'm sorry. I know you're mad at me for not telling you about the picture. I was...just trying to prove myself. How about I deliver your packages for a month, no, two?!"

Amy looks at him silently and sighs. "No need. Leo, that's not why I was mad at you."

"Huh?" He looks confused as he tries to read her face. "Then why were you mad?"

"I was mad because I was wondering why you felt like you needed to prove yourself when you're already great. No picture would change that...at least, not for me."

Their mouths drop as she puts on her helmet, sitting on her seat. "I gotta go, I'm late. See you guys later."
