Leo's Side
Despite Donnie's explanation on why he had gone on his own, which is to find out what Fishface and Rahzar are up to, he can't help feeling that something is amiss. He understood the need for stealth to find out what Fishface and Rahzar are up to, but he can't help feeling that the whole thing is fishy. Speaking of fishy, come to think of it, the last battle did seem off when they fought Fishface and Rahzar. When he thought about it, he realised that there were only 3 turtles fighting them. Where was Mikey during the whole fight? Did he get hurt somewhere? But there were no injuries when they found him...

Leo pondered for a moment before thinking back to the arrows. The arrows always aim at the Foot, but not the turtles. Why would the Night Guardian not hurt the turtles? The Night Guardian had the opportunity to use the arrows to shoot and hurt them, but he didn't. Why won't he? Does he have some sort of reason? "Wait, Mikey disappeared as soon as the Night Guardian appears. Arrows were shot during our last fight, which proves the Night Guardian was there. Did the Night Guardian capture him or something?"

"No, he couldn't have. There were no injuries on Mikey and since the Night Guardian has no reason to hurt us, he has no reason to capture Mikey either...Wait a minute." Leo thought it through. "The Night Guardian first came when Mikey was back in the lair. Mikey was also not there when the Night Guardian was there, and the Night Guardian was not there when Mikey came. Could Mikey be the Night Guardian?" He thought about it. "Hmm, can't rule out that possibility. I will have to keep an eye on both Mikey and the Night Guardian during our fight tomorrow. That should confirm it."

Next Night
Mikey sighed with relief when the time for patrolling came. Leo kept looking at him weirdly and he had no idea what was going on. That look kept Mikey on edge the whole day. "Alright guys, the mutagen is about 3 blocks away." "Alright guys, let's proceed with caution." When they arrived on the rooftop directly above the alleyway, they saw what they had seen the night before. Fishface, Rahzar and a number of Foot Soldiers were on that alleyway.

Mikey and Donnie tensed when seeing them. Rahzar and Fishface must have expected the Night Guardian to come and help them, again. Leo tensed a bit as well as stealing a glance on Mikey. If Mikey IS the Night Guardian, he would be in great danger. "Booyakasha!" Mikey landed down on the Foot. "They are here! Foot Ninjas, ATTACK!" Rahzar ordered them. When the Foot Ninjas started to attack, Bradford smiled. The Night Guardian should arrive at any minute now to help the turtles.

Mikey fought the Foot Ninjas for a while and headed up to a rooftop. "Don't worry Mikey, we will cover you. Rahzar and Fishface will not get past us that easily." Donnie thought as he saw Mikey going up a rooftop. Leo widened his eyes as he saw Mikey heading up onto a rooftop. "Is Mikey doing what I thought he is going to do? Well, whether he is or he is not, no one is hurting Mikey." He, with fresh determination, kicked Fishface onto a wall.

When Mikey arrived with his costume, he carefully hid in the shadows first, where no one can see him. He then get the bow and aimed at Rahzar. Rahzar was shot on the shoulder. "The Night Guardian is here, Xever. Let's find him and destroy him." "Certainly, Bradford. I bid you farewell, turtles." Fishface and Rahzar pounced and ran on the rooftops.

"They got away again? Oh no..." Donnie headed towards the rooftops again. "Mikey!"
"What's up with them? Why is the Night Guardian so important, Leo? Donnie, where are you going...?" Raph was about to ask Donnie when Leo interrupted him. "Raph, to the rooftops! C'mon!" "...Ugh, fine." Raph grunted. They immediately ran on the rooftops.

"Where is he, Bradford? Can you see him?" "No, I cannot. Let me smell his presence." When he proceeded to sniff the air, Mikey became nervous about being found. Just then, he had an idea. He shot his arrow from his current position, and quickly moved on to another dark location. They fell for it. "There he is, after him!" When they reached his last position, they were appalled. "What, he's not here?" "He must be hiding somewhere." The 2 mutants glared at their surroundings. Just then, Fishface saw an arrow and dodged it, narrowly missing it. "Ugh, this is a waste of time. Let's strike at the surroundings. That should get that thorn off our side." Mikey was too nervous to breathe.

"Hey, uglies! Looking for us?" They turned around to see the turtles glaring at them. "Look, we don't know what you are up to, but we will never let you get away with this!" "Xever, let's get the turtles." "Agreed." Fishface agreed as that can lure the Night Guardian to them, making it easier to destroy him. They started to strike. Mikey wanted to help them but he was afraid that that might let Fishface and Rahzar destroy him, since that could give away his location.
