Bishop was ready to make his next move against the turtles, and for getting the purple lizard back. He wanted to really know more about him.
…

Just as promised as the new hole in the wall would provide for the turtles or Randall to come and go as they pleased, Mikey definitely came over the most of all the turtles to hang out with Randall when he was home at April's house.

Randall sometimes got overwhelmed with Mikey's overall childish enthusiasm. But it wore on him too. Mike knew how to bring out Randall's playful side, when he wasn't busy with something else, that like if he was with another of Mikey's family.

One day, Mikey was annoying both Don and Randall, and Leo and Raph with just wanting to help make a machine. Leo and Raph were busy with training with each other. Don and Randall were trying to work on a new vehicle. Mikey just wanted someone to play video games with and share his new comic book with.

"Aw, please, guys, somebody play with me!" Mikey whined.

"Michelangelo, enough!" Splinter slammed his cane down on the floor. "Either go for a run in the sewers or go above and get some air. It will do you good rather than being down here and annoying your brothers." The rat ordered. "Just find something else to do!" He was clearly annoyed as well.

Mikey looked about around the lair at the others. They all had on annoyed glares.
"Fine! You're all no fun anyway!" Mikey snapped.

"We're busy, Mikey. We've told you that." Don said.

Mikey went to the elevator and took it to the top.

"Maybe now we can get some peach and quiet around here." Raph said before he and Leo continued training.

"But perhaps, one of you should go after him in case he runs into trouble." Splinter advised.

"I'm busy with my new invention." Don said.

"We're training, Father." Leo said.

Randall knew it would be up to him then. "I'll go."

"That is good, Randall. Make sure he stays out of trouble." Splinter said.

Randall went to the elevator and waited for it to come back down and he got on it. This was one awesome elevator. He got off when it opened again and found Mikey had already gotten outside and taken to the rooftops. Randall took off after him.

He was fast enough to catch up to the turtle. Mikey was headed towards Brooklyn. He might not go there, but was headed that direction. He was very upset at the moment.

Mikey soon stopped on a rooftop, breathing hard.

"Hey, Mike, wait up!" Mikey heard the voice. He turned and saw Randall coming up behind him.

"I thought you were too busy with the new invention?" Mikey said with upset.

"Splinter sent me. Just to make sure you don't get into trouble." Randall replied.

"I just want to hang out with everyone."

"We know and it's how you ask us that tends to get on our nerves. You should try doing it when they don't seem to be busy." Randall suggested.

"Even when I do, they always say they don't want a thing to do with me. That's why I come to your apartment." Mikey said.

"We could go there now, or do a patrol, just the two of us. Two guys just hanging out." Randall suggested with a smile.

"Alright. Let's go!" Mikey gave him a high three. "I'll race ya to the high spire!" Mikey pointed west.

"You gotta run for your money!" Randall grinned.

The turtle and the lizard began a race across the rooftops, destined for the spire.

Unknown to them, they were being watched. Some commandos were watching the rooftops tonight and had spotted them.

"Agent Bishop, I see a turtle and a lizard right now." The man said.

"Good. Proceed. Get them both." Bishop ordered over the phone.

The man gave the order and the helicopter and other men moved in to collect their prizes.

Randall and Mikey ran and jumped over many rooftops in style and grace that they had of their own accords. They were in a little friendly competition. Whoever won would pay April for the pizza for their now planned evening of video games back at the basement.

But before they could even get there, a big helicopter came from behind a big, tall building and surprised them both, making them stop in their tracks.

"Stop where you are, freaks! Or we will open fire!" came the order from the loudspeaker.

"Over our dead bodies!" Randall shouted at them.

"Bishop's flunky commandos!" Mikey said. Then they both heard clicks behind them and turned around.

"Hands up!" A man ordered.

Mikey and Randall looked at each other, and smiled in silent agreement. They nodded their heads at one another, and then looked at the humans in front of them.

Mikey did have his shell cell on him, but would only use it if he had to, or he could let Randall use it. Randall stood a better chance at getting away.

The humans began to step toward them with guns aimed on them. Mike and Randall held their hands up for a moment, but when the commandos got close to them, they both instantly retaliated.

Mikey jumped onto his hands and kicked at two guns with his feet, knocking the men into five others. Randall body jumped onto two of them and pushed three more into four others. Then they jumped away.

Some of the commandos got up and started firing, making them jump and run more. The other commandos got out of the way.

Mikey took out his nunchukus and he began giving them shell and he was lucky to not get shot in the process. Randall vanished and jumped onto them where they were by themselves, and tripped them up.

After they had jumped onto another rooftop, Randall reappeared and he got close to Mikey, but that was when a copter chose to fire its own gun. There was a big explosion in the rooftop, as they were near it.

Mikey was forced forward onto his stomach. He had banged one of his arms on the roof real hard. His shell cell was thrown a few inches away as well. Randall was thrown the other way, and into another building, through a window. He hit the wall real hard, knocking the wind out of him, making him go down. There had also been a SNAP in his lower left arm, one of his front legs as well, and there were a few glass shards buried in his skin. His tail was also under some debris, pinning it down.

The commandos came over and got a gurney for the fallen turtle. He would be good bait for the other turtles. Then they tried finding that lizard too.

The smoke from the explosion had luckily not shown where Randall had ended up.

Randall tried to stay conscious long enough to get up and move, but he just couldn't. His vision was just lapsed with blacking out. But he could hear the copter. He tried hard to get up, but he couldn't. And he was breathing harder. He felt a pain down in his lower chest.

Michelangelo was put onto the gurney and taken captive, being all tied down and unconscious. Then he was taken onto the copter. Commandos tried looking for the lizard, and couldn't find a trace of him.

"We can't find the lizard anywhere, Agent Bishop. He can just vanish too." The man said.

"I don't want any excuses. You find him, or else!" Bishop ordered.

"Yes, Sir."

The commandos kept on looking for him. Some of the building next door had also been affected by the blast from the copter, but it was mostly rubble at the entrance to where Randall had gotten thrown inside and rubble was everywhere else.

After some time, the commandos couldn't find him, they gave up. He had to have gotten away in their opinions, but Mike wasn't getting away that easily. The humans left the scene and went back to their trucks. They had one turtle and knew the others would want their brother back, and they would try to track them down.

Randall tried so hard to stay awake, but with the newfound pain in his body, he finally gave into the blackness.
…..

Back at the lair, it was almost time for bed.

Leo and Raph had stopped training awhile ago. Leo was now meditating and Raph was doing some weight lifting. Don was still working on his new vehicle, and Splinter was watching one of his favorite shows.

When Splinter's show ended, it was time for bed.

"It is time for bed, my sons. You all have training in the morning." Splinter said.

"But Mikey isn't back yet, Master." Don said.

"Knowing him, he and Randall went over to April's to play video games." Raph decreed.

"I'll wait up for him." Leo said.

"Alright, Leonardo." Splinter said.

"Well, at least Mikey got out of the lair and stopped annoying us." Raph said.

"Yeah, but he still could have needed us." Don said.

"If he needed us, he would have called." Leo added. "Go on, I'll wait for him."

They all said goodnight and retreated to their own rooms. Leo called Randall's phone at April's and he didn't answer. Then he tried Mikey's phone, and no answer.

"That's strange. They should have answered by now." Leo said. "I am going to have one stern lecture for Mikey if he doesn't pick up the phone." Then he dialed April's phone.

"Hello?" A sleepy April picked up.

"Hi, April. It's Leo. Is Mikey at your place with Randall?" Leo asked.

"I don't know. I've been sleeping all night. Got a bad cold." She said.

"Could you check, please?"

"Yes."

April got out of bed and went downstairs to the basement. The basement was quiet. She knocked on Randall's door and no answer. She even opened it and it was dark. Then she turned on the light and no one was even there.

"They aren't here, Leo. I checked." April said.

"That's strange. But then, they both could be still out on a patrol or goofing around. But Mikey wouldn't not answer his shell cell without being in trouble."

"I'll be there if you need anything." April said.

"Thank you, and feel better." Leo said and hung up. He would wait awhile.

But Mikey never showed up that morning, and when the others got up for training, Leo was plenty tired, but for him, as leader, there was no time for sleeping.

Don, Raph, and Splinter came into the training area and Leo was there waiting for them. "Guys, Mikey and Randall didn't come home last night at all." Leo said.

"Wonder where they could be?" Don asked.

"I don't know. What about April's?" Raph asked.

"I checked, and April said they weren't there." Leo said.

"This means that they could be in trouble." Splinter said.

Don went to go look at his tracking equipment to look up Mikey's tracker in his phone, and he found it, about seven blocks close to April's place. It was holding still, not moving for a long moment.

"I have located Mikey's shell cell, close to April's. We should go see what's going on." Don suggested.

They all went up to the garage and got in the Battle Shell and took off, following the trail. The phone was not moving, so something was going on.

"I hope he's not hurt." Raph said.

"Me too." Don said.

"We'll find him and Randall." Leo said.

They soon got to the location and saw there was smoke coming from a bit of a blown off rooftop. They all looked up and were horrified. Mikey had to be up there!

They all got out of the truck and climbed up to the top of the building. Don's tracker device led to the phone on the rooftop.

"Spread out and look for them!" Leo ordered.

They all spread out and began looking under debris, but there was no trace seen of Randall or Mikey. Splinter began smelling the air to see if he could catch waves of a scent, but he smelled smoke more than anything.

"I cannot find a scent because of too much smoke here." Splinter said.

"Keep trying, Father." Leo said. "They have to be here somewhere."

They all were facing being seen by being here in broad daylight, but then, the sirens were coming. That was when they had to leave.
….

Randall managed to wake up for a brief moment and swore he saw a mutant turtle go by a window, but he was too weak to call out and he passed out again. He had taken a good blow to the head as well.
….

Splinter and his sons were disappointed that they didn't find either of them.

"Whoever did that obviously took them both." Don said.

"We can eliminate the Shredder as the culprit. Karai said she would keep her promise to us." Leo said.

"Then there's Bishop." Raph pointed out. "One of his helicopters coulda blew the building up."

"We'll have to wait till tonight to go back and look for signs of them and when the smoke will be out." Leo said.

"I hope Bishop doesn't have them." Don said.

"Me too, my sons. We will find them." Splinter said. "But until tonight, try to go get some sleep, Leonardo. You need your rest and it won't help Michelangelo or Randall if you are tired."

Leo knew he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he had to try because his father had a point. He went to try to go to bed.

Don worked restlessly on his computer to try to locate his baby brother and his friend.

Raph beat up on the punching bag, but a little more quietly so Leo could try to sleep.

Splinter went to meditation to see if he could try to locate Mikey and Randall's auras, or spirits.

It took awhile, but Splinter could feel that both of them were still alive; he just didn't know where.
