A long red-haired woman exited out the store as she was pointing a silver handgun at the cashier in her right hand.

"That's right!" The woman said threateningly. "Don't even think about calling the cops!"

Just then, a long chain made of brilliant red energy suddenly wrapped tightly around the woman's waist.

"What the? This again?" The woman complained.

The woman got lifted up in the air that made her drop all of the money bags she just stole as Night Star motioned her chain to slam the woman into the ground on the building rooftop.

"Ha ha! Do you really want me to make this more painful like last time?" Night Star asked with a chuckle.

"No. No, please." The woman muttered as she started backing up against the edge of the rooftop.

"I'll break you down, bones and all." Night Star said as she slowly clenched her hands into tight fists.

A sudden whistle caught Night Star and the woman's attention. They looked over at the source of that whistle and saw two familiar figures behind them. One was a young man in a white plastic ice hockey goaltender mask and carried a baseball bat in his hand while the another was a vigilante dressed in a black metallic leather suit with a black helmet. Their names are Casey Jones and Nightwatcher.

"Looks like we're about to witness a girl fight." Casey said, letting his baseball bat rest his shoulders.

"Heh, that's a start." Nightwatcher said with a snicker.

Casey and Nightwatcher started walking in Night Star's direction as Night Star delivered a swift kick that easily knocked the woman without even looking back.

"Oh, great. It's the Nightwatcher. And what's Casey doing here with him?" Ella groaned. She resumed her cool and stared at the Nightwatcher. "So you're the Nightwatcher I've heard so much about. I think I would enjoy taking you on. You can actually put up a fight."

"And I think you need to be taught your place, Night Star." Nightwatcher said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Because nobody outruns my job."

"Don't think you're the only one who own the vigilante occupation around here." Casey said, pointing his baseball bat at Night Star. "Drop the act. I know it's you, Ella."

"Ella?!" Nightwatcher said in surprise as he looked at Casey on what he just said.

"Sorry, hockey boy. But I prefer a challenge to the..." Ella said, cracking her knuckles in preparation. She immediately realized what Casey just said. "Wait a second! You knew?"

"Wasn't hard at all." Casey explained as he lifted up his hockey mask. "I always knew you'll relish fighting by becoming a full-on vigilante. Even staying at home couldn't cage you."

"Heh, you're giving yourself way too much credit." Ella smirked as she took off her visor.

"If you're gonna have some kick-butting fun, then you should have invite me." Raph said as he took off his helmet.

"Hey, a girl's gotta live life her own way." Ella said with a grin.

"I knew I should've stayed in medical school." The woman mumbled to herself.

Casey, Ella, and Raph turned around to watch the woman trying to climb up the side of the roof to get to the next rooftop. The mutant turtle and the human vigilante looked at Ella, who nodded her head and put her visor back on her face.

"I'll be back, boys." Ella said.

Ella turned back to the female criminal and sprang high in the air to strike her with her clenched fists.

The New York citizens crowded around the street lamp to see the male criminal hanging upside down with a chain tied to his leg and the female criminal typing on the top of the lamp in chains.

"What is it? A performance art?" A male citizen asked. "I don't get it."

Ella, Raph, and Casey sat on the edge of the rooftop from above.

"What was I supposed to do? Sit around, wait for Leo to come back and save the day?" Raph questioned. "I mean, we haven't heard word one from him since Splinter sent him away on his little vacation. You think these lowlifes take vacations at the first sign of pressure? No. The criminal element of this city may be guilty of a lot of things, but being quitters ain't one of them." He placed his helmet inside his costume bag and then got up on the edge of the rooftop. "You know, I don't even care about Leo anymore. Kind of hope he never comes back."

"Come on, aren't you being a little hard on the guy?" Casey asked.

"I don't know. It's possible." Raph replied with a sigh. "I guess if I could live anywhere other than the city, I'd go too. But I could never leave this place. I can't even sleep without the sound of the subway rumbling over my head." He sat back down on the edge of the rooftop. "I guess it comes from growing up with a houseful of brothers."

"So, what about you, Ella?" Casey asked the red mystic kunoichi. "Still having problems with Lee?"

"Nah, not really." Ella said. "I mean, I still haven't heard a single word from her ever since my mom sent her away to Japan, but we're still cool."

"So, you're not upset on waiting for your sister to come back as the fearless leader once again?" Raph asked. "I mean, you did have your issues with her like me with Leo."

"True, but not anymore." Ella replied with a shrug. "We been make amends on our crazy relationship before she left. Lee and I may have our sisterly rivalry years ago, but that's in the past. We finally moved on, even though I had a hard time trying. I miss Japan because that will always be my first home, but that city always has my wildest adventures. Even growing up with sisters wasn't enough to take the fun out of me."

"Well, I'm just glad you found a way to work things out with your sister." Casey said as he took his hockey mask off his head. "But I'm not trying to tell you what to do, Raph. I'm just saying that if it was my brother or my sister, I'd find a way to work it out. But that's just me. I got my own issues, you know? Like back at home, with April. There's this whole thing about settling down that makes me miss the old times. I don't know if I can be the grownup she needs me to be."

"Look, just talk to April about it. I'm sure she'll understand. Right, Raph?" Ella said.

Ella and Casey looked at Raph to find him asleep on the edge of the rooftop.

"Good talk, Raph." Casey muttered.

Ella shook her head with a chuckling smile.

Meanwhile, Mr. Winters walked into a secret room that stored the four statues and placed small devices on each statue's chest before stepping away from them to watch the small devices activating themselves.

"Arise, my brothers. Arise, dear sister." Mr. Winters said. "The Stars of Kikan align. All ye generals, wake from your stone slumber."

The four small devices had revived the four glowing statues as a red energy moved from top to bottom on them, making one of the generals move his fingers.
