Malaya stuck out her arm as the guns flew out of the men's hands. Thumbing on her lightsaber as they scrambled quickly to gather their weapons she leaped over the turtle's heads out in front and slashed the laser through the metal before any man could get to it.

Holding it out in front of her she watched them carefully as they backed away, one of them speaking into their wrist for back up. Her eyes dancing quickly over the line of men before her as she turned over her shoulder at the turtle's looks of amazement.

"Go!" She screamed as she started running towards the back of the building. Leonardo quickly got his composure back and nudged his brother's to follow the brunette. She slid against the dirty pavement looking back towards the men, with new guns shooting after them.

She twisted and turned her body in graceful movements as they bullets melted on impact of her weapon. She caught everyone that came towards her as the brothers flipped and dodged the ones that pasted. Leonardo helped her in deflecting them with his own silver blade, standing beside her. Raphael, Michelangelo and Leatherhead ran towards the back wall of the old warehouse looking frantically for a way out.

"There!" Mikey said pointing to a second level window. Raph nodded, holding out his hands for his little brother, and Leatherhead linking his hands with Raph's as Mikey placed foot inside. With a swift movement Mikey flipped up to the second level.

Turning his face away from the glass Mikey smashed his elbow into it, breaking the rest away with the blunt of his chucks. With a whistle Raphael looked back towards his brother and Malaya and backed up from the wall a bit. Running full force, he jumped up and kicked off a wall, flipping backwards next to his younger brother. Leatherhead leaped up, catching onto the bottom of the platform as he pulled himself up and over the bars.

"Guys c'mon!" Mikey yelled as Leonardo took a quick look from where his brother's voice came from. With a nod he grabbed Malaya's arm and she followed him to the wall, keeping her lightsaber lit as bullets kept coming. Following Raphael's led his brother used the wall for leverage and held his hand out for Malaya to use for help. She flipped back, without using anything but the ground below her to bring her to the second level. Leonardo looked at her for a moment as she stuck her saber back in her holster. A small smile graced her face as he looked her up and down for a moment before leaving his side quickly and leaping out of the window. Mikey followed, then Raphael and Leatherhead, and then Leo as they landed outside the building.

"That was quite exhilarating." Leatherhead said with a smile as Raph arched his eye ridge.

"It ain't over yet." He said sliding his sais from his belt.

A black van stood in their way of escape as Bishop walked forward, his hands tightly clasped behind his back and a smile on his face. Leatherhead let out a growl as Leonardo placed a hand on his large arm.

"Easy, let's just see what he wants." Leo said softly as Leatherhead nodded curtly before slowly clenching his hands into fists.

"This isn't good Leonardo." Malaya said keeping her eyes sent on the dark lens staring at her. "Something dark is surrounding him, I can feel it. It's rippling off his body." She whispered as Leo nodded placing his body in front of hers.

"Don't worry." He said over his shoulder. "I'll protect you." She looked at him for a moment before arching her brow. She felt a small sensation of fire go through her gut to his words as she shook her head and looked back towards the men before her.

"I should have known you turtles were behind this." Bishop said taking another step closer as Leatherhead shifted lightly. Guns cocked at ready behind Bishop as another smile went to his face. "Don't be so hasty old friend."

"What do you want?" Leonardo said, putting his arm out to keep Leatherhead in place.

"Just her. Your weaponry and transportation are very amazing my dear." He said turning his gave towards Malaya as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Where do they come from?"

"That is information I cannot give to you." She said in an even tone as Bishop arched a brow.

"You speak English?"

"I speak many things."

"Well my dear I would love to hear about those things if you come with me?"

"I go no where with anyone." She said narrowing her eyes slightly.

"I don't want to use force." Bishop said holding his hand up as the men aimed their weapons.

"Use what you must, I will go no where with you." She said stepping in front of Leo. He grabbed her arm trying to keep her back as she refused as her lightsaber leap into her palm, spinning it for a moment she thumbed it on as the purple light stuck out in front of her.

"Seeing what you did back there to my men, I would not like to relive the same." Bishop said bowing his head slightly.

"Smart for such a stupid man." She said evenly as Mikey chuckled being cut off quickly as Raph's hand smacked him upside the head.

"Stand down." Bishop said over his shoulder as his men put down their weapons. Malaya backed away slowly with the turtles and Leatherhead following behind her. "We will meet again my dear, count on it."

Malaya narrowed her eyes at that, turning around and facing the city before her.

With a mad dash the five made their way to the city streets. Leatherhead opened a manhole cover in an alleyway as soon as they reached the city's heart and fell inside the sewers. Mikey was next followed by Raph as Leo watched Malaya for a moment. She pushed her hair back out of her face from sweat of their run and looked over at him.

"That didn't go as well planned as I hoped." She sighed as he nodded his head.

"Bishop finds his way into anything. I should have been more prepared knowing what you are, and especially coming here to this city…I just should have known better." He sighed letting his head fall as she smirked a bit walking over to him. Cupping her hand around his face he looked up at her soft eyes and felt his stomach burn with something, creeping slowly up into his chest.

"You could have never known what was going to happen the way it did. Your thoughts have been clouded lately with many things, especially concerning your family and their safety. It's confusing, this ordeal is emotional and troublesome for you and your family. You have the pleasure of keeping all of this on shoulders that can withstand only that of the weight they fall under, now with more pressure to weigh them down. You're a good heart Leonardo, however you worry too much." She said with a smile letting her thumb graze his green skin. "Now, we have escaped death for one day. Let's go have some tea and calm down from today's events shall we?" She said turning towards the manhole. She placed her foot on the ladder looking up at him with a smile as he smiled back following her down.

Back at the lair Donnie came from his lab and looked towards Leatherhead with eagerness as he shook his head somely.

"We found nothing my friend." Leatherhead said softly.

"What? Why?" Donnie asked as they all sat down at the kitchen table.

"Bishop was there." Raph said leaning back in his seat as Mikey sighed putting his head on the table.

"Man, this sucks. We can't do anything without crazy Neo coming and ruining it." Mikey said shaking his head.

"Who's Neo?" Malaya asked as Donnie shook his head.

"Ignore him, he's an idiot." He said patting her hand as she furrowed her brow.

"It doesn't matter what we do now, he's always gonna be there, waitin' for us." Raph said crossing his arms over his plastron.

"There might be a way to get in without being seen." Leatherhead said as Leo nodded.

"Cover of night and shadows always helps." Mikey smirked.

"Precisely. You are Ninja, and being such you can use that darkness as an advantage and possible rig a system up to broadcast those cameras to mine or Donnie's lab." Leatherhead said with a smile.

"I guess that's you Don." Leo said patting his brother's shoulder as he nodded his head.

"I will go too." Malaya said sitting up from the table.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go. They're looking for you. They most likely have a trap set up, you're the last person to step foot near there again." Leo said motioning for her to sit back down. She furrowing her brow, she crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, I will do what I must. That is my ship after all, and if there is a trap I will know it before it is to happen. Donatello shouldn't be doing this alone. This is my mess and I intend to leave you boys as far out of it as I can."

"We are already in it." Donnie said with a shrug. "After Bishop saw you guys today, there's no backing out now."

"Yeah babe, we're in it knee deep." Mikey said looking up at her from his head perched on his hand. She sighed leaning against the table and looking along the tired faces.

"Well, the first thing is to get my ship back and the knowledge it holds of my world out of their grasps. If we can do that I can get my information that Donatello and Leatherhead need to possible find a way to send my back home. Of course, we need to figure out what they are planning on, and why they are doing it with me?" She said confused as Leo sighed.

"He is part of the EPF."

"EPF?"

"Earth Protection Force." Donnie clarified. "He is part of a program for the government that is looking out for exactly what you are. To them you are an alien."

"I am no such thing! I am humanoid just like the other habitants on this planet besides yourselves." She said in disgusted as Donnie nodded his head.

"We know that, but he does not. The ship, your lightsaber, those are all things that are new technology, things our planet hasn't seen ever and they are going to take that as a threat."

"They do not even know me! I am a Jedi Knight! I protect and defend the order and peace of…"

"We know. They won't care. They know nothing of the Jedi much like we don't and they'll take this as something bad, instantly. Being that you are from another world unlike ours you are in that means an alien." Donnie shrugged as Malaya sighed.

"Well then, perhaps for the time being I will not be an alien."

"How do you mean?" Leo asked as she smiled.

"I will change myself to better suit this world. Change myself into a normal human!" She said with excitement as Leo furrowed his brow. Donnie rubbing his chin for a moment before snapping his fingers.

"Ya know, that might work." He said as she smiled clapping her hands.

"Wonderful!" She said.

"But first, maybe we should change your clothing?" Donnie said looking at her as she furrowed her brow looking down at her body and back to his eyes.

"Why, there is nothing wrong with them?"

"It's not 'normal' earth attire." He said using his fingers as quotes. She nodded her head as Donnie looked towards Leo. "Perhaps we should get someone with better skills on this subject?" Leo looked towards his smiling brother as a smile slowly went to his face as well.

"April."
