Donnie went straight to his computer the second they got home. April was there as well, although Ming didn't care to know why. She just wanted to know what the heck had caused Shredder to disappear into thin air.
They all surrounded Donnie's computer.
Donnie just finished explaining the road chase to April.
"Okay, so he just disappeared?" April asked disbelievingly.
"Wait... If I run the footage from my shoulder cam through an electroscan filter, maybe we can see what happened." Donnie suggested, typing away on the computer. Footage of Shredder's crazy jump replayed, and paused just at the second he disappeared, showing a portal-like swirl of blue and white light.
"Bingo. It appears to be residue from some sort of teleportation event..." Donnie commented, pointing out the swirl.
"Does that kind of technology even exist?" Leo asked.
"No. It can't. To move from one spot to another over a few feet away almost instantly would kill somebody." Ming shook her head.
"How would you know?" Raph scoffed.
"Spellbook website." Ming shrugged.
"Well, actually, Baxter Stockman's been working on this kind of tech for years." Donnie corrected.
"All that stuff I pulled off his laptop, it was like a virtual playbook about Shredder and the Foot. I'm betting there's a backup of some kind. Donnie, I need something." April added.
Ming raised an eyebrow as Don started rummaging through a drawer. Clearly, she had missed something. She shrugged.
Donnie handed a USB stick to April. "Total plug and play." He grinned.
"Great." April grinned, starting to leave as she took the USB.
"We're coming for backup." Leo said, starting to follow.
"Wait." April turned. "Sun's coming up. You can't go outside. You'll be seen."
Raph groaned. Ming silently agreed, knowing how he felt. They were sick of being told the same thing. The sunshine, while a source of comfort to others, was a huge hindrance for them.
A few hours later, Leo was talking to Master Splinter. Mikey was on his skateboard playing with Donnie's drone. Donnie was throwing fruit at Raph, who held a baseball bat. Ming was practicing with two bamboo sticks, wielding them like swords. Mikey was talking to the drone challenging it, avoiding it and jumping and swooping. Raph sighed as he readied himself with the bat.
"Every second we're down here, Shredder gets more powerful and Mikey gets more annoying." He growled.
"Hey, we're training." Donnie threw an apple. "Sort of." He added as Raph hit the apple hard enough that the fruit went spinning to Ming's room's door, splattering.
"I'm not cleaning that up." Ming growled. "Hey, throw me one." She offered.
"Okay, if you think you can handle it." Donnie smirked, throwing an orange at Ming. She deflected it with the bamboo stick.
Donnie threw an apple, then a mango, both of which Ming deflected with ease, sending the fruits flying almost as far as Raph.
She was doing good... Until Raphael decided to get involved.
Both turtles pelted Ming with fruits. At first, she tried blocking and deflecting them, but then she just gave up, crouching down and covering both her neck and head with her arms.
The feeling of hard fruit constantly pelting her body suddenly stopped. Ming felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked. Ming nodded, sitting up.
"Yuuuuck!" She whined, covered in juice and smashed fruit.
Donnie and Raph both laughed. "Hey, don't say we didn't warn you." Donnie smirked.
"Hmph!" Ming growled, heading off to take a shower and hopefully wash some of the stuff out of her hair.
