Normal Side
"The Night Guardian?" Mikey suddenly felt extraordinarily tensed. "Sensei, when and how did you get the idea that I was the Night Guardian?" "I was not very certain that you were the Night Guardian, Michelangelo, but when I saw your costume and your arrival, I was more sure. I chose this indecent hour to talk to you as you did not seem to want your brothers to find out, and since your brothers might be easedropping on this conversation, I want you to be more comfortable with the fact that your brothers might not know about your acts at all." Mikey suddenly turned beetroot red.
"So, Michelangelo, would you care to explain to me about your actions?" "Well, you see, Sensei..." Mikey started to reply. "How do I put this...I got this funny feeling that my bros are in trouble somewhere. So, I decided to save them. I don't want them to know that I saved them because if they know that if I saved them while being injured, they might go...overprotective or something. I can't just stand by and do nothing..." "Ah, I see...So, you decided to become the Night Guardian?" "Yes, Master Splinter." "First of all, Michelangelo, I am glad that you did listen and remember what I said about trusting your instincts and you also helped your brothers when they need you the most. However..." Master Splinter paused.
"Your acts, though you have good intentions, they may arise some consequences. No matter how hard the consequences be, my son," Master Splinter said. "You must face them bravely. The Shredder might be alerted about the stranger helping your brothers, so he may also try and stop you as well. You should face the obstacles bravely and in the right way. Be careful, and do not be rash or foolish." "Yes, Master Splinter." "You may leave, Michelangelo. Heed my advice." "Hai Sensei." He said obediently and walked out of the dojo. He had no idea that a certain turtle, though he did not dare to easedrop on the quiet conversation, wondered what it was about. He closed the door silently.
Next Night
Mikey mauled over Master Splinter's advice, about his acts having consequences. He will have to be ready for whatever the Shredder or his goons are going to throw on him. "Mikey, let's go." "Ok." Mikey followed his brothers topside. "I have to say, it is good to be back out there again. It sure is boring staying down there all day and night." "At least, Mikey, it can help you stretch your legs or something." Donnie said. Before Mikey can reply, they saw hordes of Foot Ninjas down on the alleyway below a rooftop, together with Fishface and Rahzar.
"That freak again? I would really love to smash that thick skull of his." Raph was about to take out his sais, when Leo stopped him. "Raph! We have to find the mutagen, remember? Let's avoid fighting and focus on the mission first." "...Alright Leo." He put his sais back. "So, Donnie, any luck tracking it?" "Wait, let me get the results...Got it! Uh...bad news guys." "What?" Leo asked Donnie. "The mutagen is at the same alleyway where the Foot is at." "What? Ok, guys, change of plans. We stop them, then we get the mutagen." "I like the sound of that." Raph replied.
"I smell a presence here." When Rahzar started to sniff the air, he was suddenly kicked by Donnie. "Looking for us?" Raph asked. "You fools! After them!" Fishface ordered the Foot Ninjas. Raph decided to battle with Fishface while Mikey and Leo decided to get the Foot Ninjas. "Booyakasha!" With some attempts, the Foot Ninjas are almost wiped out. Leo then decided to help Raph out. "Ok, the turtles are in trouble. Surely the ally would come and take care of them." Fishface thought and he smiled. "What are you smiling about, Fish-for-brains?" "Oh, you will see soon enough." Fishface replied before he stroke at Raph. Raph dodged out of the way.
Meanwhile, Mikey went off to get his costume, bow and arrows he got from the dojo. He had hidden his costume somewhere during the day so that he can come and take it during the night. He immediately went back to the battle scene and aimed a shot at Rahzar. "Ow!" Rahzar saw an arrow that hit him on the knee. "He's here, Xever." "Excellent." Fishface sneered. While Rahzar was distracted and wounded, Donnie took the chance to hit him. "Wait until I get you, turtle." Rahzar remarked. "Goodbye, Raphael, it was a pleasure fighting with you, but we have other business to take care of." The 2 mutants left.
"Hey, I am not done with you yet!" Raph yelled. When Donnie discovered that the 2 mutants are running off, it did not take him long to put two and two together. "Hey, where's Mikey...Oh no..." Donnie immediately rushed off without a word, leaving his 2 other brothers confused.
Mikey's Side
When he saw the 2 mutants starting to scout the rooftops, a sudden realization hit him. "Oh no..." They were looking for him. "Probably the Shredder's orders, just like what Master Splinter said. Oh shell...better hide." When he turned around, he almost screamed but managed to stay silent as he saw Donnie staring at him. "No time for questions, Night Guardian, we gotta find somewhere to hide where they can't find us." He took his arm and jumped onto several rooftops away. When they were certain they were safe, Donnie looked at the NG's fingers. "Green? With bandages...Now I am sure." He thought. "Mikey, you are the Night Guardian?" He asked a dumbfound Mikey.
