Hey! I'm back, updating a day earlier than expected. Thank you to fireworksinthenight, BakaClara, Cheetahan + Datninjaturtle for reviewing.

This is where the characterisation may slip a little – but not too far I hope. As the rise turtles haven't been in this particular position before [as far as I know] I've taken some inspiration from previous incarnations.

So…four some-what trained ninja turtles verses one dumbfounded shopkeeper. Hhmm…wonder how that's going to go?

Well, we'll see…

There was a prolonged silence during which the turtles stared at the shop keeper and the shop keeper stared back.

After about a solid thirty seconds of this, Mikey decided to break the ice. "So…hi."

To which the shop keeper gave a high-pitched yell in reply and legged it out the room.

"Hey!" Raph immediately shot after him. "Come back!"

"Raph!" Donnie took off after his brother. "You're scaring him!"

Leo raised his eyes to the heavens as general chaos sounded outside.

Raising his voice to be over-heard above the shouting he said to Mikey, calmly. "Do us a favour Michael. Put all the medication you can see into the baskets. We'll carry them." And with that he hurried off.

"You're scaring him!" Raph barely registered his immediate younger brother's yell as he chased after the terrified shop keeper.

The man made it to the front reception and skidded to a halt behind the desk.

Donnie's mind quickly made the leap and he screeched at his brother. "Stop him! He's going for the panic button!"

Raph himself was nearly over-come with panic at that point and he had what most people would describe as an out-of-body experience. He saw himself leaping over the desk and grabbing the shop keeper, then pulling him away from the desk and holding him in a tight grip. There was a silence, only broken by the shop keepers gurgling.

He was brought back to earth by the door slamming open. He looked up to register Leo standing next to Donnie, yelling. "What's the alarm for!?"

Donnie raised his voice. "Panic Button!" He pointed at the desk for emapathis.

Leo groaned and face-palmed. "Great, that's just what we need – for cryin' out loud, can you shut him up!?" He snapped at Red, who in turn realised the shop keeper was still twisting, turning and generally making a worrying amount of noise.

Running on automatic by now, he tightened his grip over the poor man's mouth and nose and the keeper went an interesting shade of purple.

Donnie, noticing this, darted forward and, with expert precision, stabbed his bo-staff into his brothers foot, causing Raph to cry out in pain and drop the shop-keeper who fell on the floor desperately gasping for air.

As Red hopped about in the back-ground Don quickly aimed his bo-staff at the shop-keeper, saying, by way of apology to the poor man. "This won't hurt." Before pressing a button and releasing knock-out gas into the man's face.

The keeper gave another gasp, his eyes rolled backwards and he passed out.

"Donnie!" Leo said, in horror.

His twin held his hands up. "Calm down, it's only knock-out gas; now hurry up, we haven't got time for messing about! Raph, for shell's sake, stop hopping about and hurry up!"

As the twins ran towards the backroom, Red muttered a few choice words under his breath and hobbled as best he could after them, his foot feeling like it was on fire.

Raph made it into the back room just in time to hear Leo asking. "What's this!?"

Red looked up to see at least five baskets overflowing with various medicine.

Michael wrung his hands and said, shrilly. "You asked me to! Put all the medication in the baskets you said!"

"Well yes, but I didn't mean-" Blue cut himself off upon hearing alarms wailing closer. "Never mind." He said abruptly, spinning round and swinging his sword, creating a massive portal in the process. "Grab the baskets. Now! GO!"

Purple, Red and Orange grabbed a couple of basket each and leapt through the portal one by one. As Orange disappeared Blue took one more look around the room, plucked the last two baskets of the floor and threw them through the swirl of blue before jumping in himself.
