Note To Readers: I really LOVE reviews. Even if people are reading it, I really like to know what you think. The ones that are good make me feel all warm and fuzzy in side (no homo), and the ones that are bad tell me what I need to improve on. Drop me a line, tell me what you think. Your opinions DO count. Anyway…Chapter 6!

April's Apartment

"Hey…" April stared in shock as she looks outside her door for the young pizza delivery guy named Keno. "Keno…"

"Hey guys," yelled Keno, who stood in the living room. April turned around nervously. "You don't need to hide…"

"What guys?" questioned the nervous April, who knew exactly who he was talking about. " I never have guys over here, I mean, I have guys over, but not everyday, you know, OR OVER TOGETHER, AT THE SAME TIME, you know, because that'll make me a slut, cause I'm not , you know?" The poor red head babbled on to the younger kid who wore a smug "Don't do me" look across his face.

"Really," he snickered. Keno walked over to the curtain to the balcony, and slammed his foot down on a poorly hidden turtle foot. Raphael leaped out the drape with anger-fueled eyes. " Ello mate!"

Raph swung at the youth who did a flip over the banister and onto the couch before back flipping onto the carpet. Raph leaped over the banister ready to attack, but his three other brothers held the snarling turtle back. "Come on!! Let me hit him, I won't hurt'em! Just one punch, PLLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE!!"

"Cool, I wasn't hallucinating," spoke Keno. "Oh I almost forgot," Keno ran up the stairs, pushed past the amazed April and grabbed the pizza sitting on the table. "I got your favorite, on the house. Well, actually on me, but you know…"

After explaining their origin to the new member of the turtle-knowing circle, Keno was not by the least surprise. "I knew a lizard was living in the sewers, just never knew it was four of them."

"Well now you know," said Donatello. "But you can't tell anyone. We have to watch over April since the Purple Dragons know about her. It's hard for a turtle to keep guys off a beautiful girl like April."

"The Purple Dragons aren't after you," Keno said. "The Foot is."

"Your one of them aren't you?!" Raph gripped his single sai, and pointed it at Keno. " How do you know that, and who the shell is the Foot?"

" I'm not one, but they are recruiting guys around my age," spoke Keno. " They start off as Purple Dragons, and until they are chosen worthy, they are trained and promoted to a Foot Ninja. Oh yeah, here you go, Raph…that's your name right?" Keno pulled the missing sai from his belt loop. I escaped with it from the police scene. I thought you want it back."



"Thanks," said Raph. " So, de Facto, what's the plan?"

" Well," thought Leo. " We still don't know what's the rest of the plan."

" We stop Baxter Stockman," said April. " He's been selling those mouser things to the Purple Dragons. I hacked into his e-mail. He's been supplying them over the month we met."

"And they have located our lair," spoke the silent sage that is Splinter, as he held a new mouser under his arms, and his straw Jingasa April had given him. He lowered his hat and revealed his face, giving Keno a shock. " Leonardo, I have given you my blessing. You and your brothers shall venture to Baxter Stockman's factory, destroy the machines and all trace of the mouser availability." And with a strange gust of wind, Splinter disappeared."

"Is it just me," questioned Michelangelo. "Or is dad seeming more like a god everyday?" His remark is once again answered by a smack against the head.

After dinner at April's, the turtles dropped down to the ground and entered the manhole, but Raph stopped. He felt a strange wind blow his way. "Where are you goin?" asked Leo, who looked up at his brother.

" No where," said Raph. "I'll be back in half an hour. If I don't, come after me." Raph closed the manhole and ran up the wall and grabbed onto a patio, then leaped hire to the top of the building. The wind then pushed him left , over a series of buildings. He landed to see Hun, as he blew through a long windpipe. "You called me…"

"Yes I did," spoke Hun, as Black ninjas began to surround him. Raph began to prepare himself for battle. "Nah ah ah, We aren't here to fight," Hun circled Raph. "You get tired of him ordering you around don't you, your brother."

"How do you know this?!" questioned Raph. "You know nothing about me!"

"I know how you feel," spoke Hun, in his sincerest voice. "My brother made me sick. He always bossed me around. He outdid me in everyway. He drove me to the point that I had to kill him!" Raph jumped in shock. "And you don't understand," laughed Hun. "I was never able to sleep since. I came here to relieve you of your stress, without causing you guilt." Hun drew a kunai knife, with a strange seal on it. "This is a poison Kunai, stab your brother with this, and he will not die, but paralyzed. We will remove him, and you will become his replacement."

" I'm not handing my brother over to you!" yelled Raph. " I could never betray a brother!"

"Fine," spoke Hun. " Be miserable, for the rest of your life. But remember, opinions, and choices change. Keep the kunai." Hun tossed Raph the blade. Raph looked down at the sharp edge, and when he looked up, all the ninjas where gone.

The Sewer



Leo sat patiently, as his brother climbed down the manhole. "Where did you go?"

"Crazy story," lied Raph. "A kid's dog jumped out the window and he was hanging himself with the collar stuck on a branch. I had to kid the dog down before he died. Did I leave you worried?"

"No," Leo said, knowing of Raph's lie. "Listen, I need to learn to trust you, Raph. You know Splinter asked me to pick a second in-command, right? He said to pick Donatello... but he's not as strong as you. I picked you as my second command."

"You trust me like that?" asked Raph. Leo nodded with a smile. " Fine. Rub the fact that your leader in my face again. You put me down as a understudy. GIVE ME LEADERSHIP OR NOT LEO DON"T TRED THE FENCE!!" Raph walked off., but turned back. " I'll do it…"
