Author's Notes: How-do, all! Man, it's been a while since I touched this one, hasn't it? It's been…two years?! OK, that's probably the longest stretch of time between when I last touched a story and when I got back to it (if I recall, the last time was about a year). But it looks like the TMNT bug has bit me again and, with your reviews and support, we can keep the ball rolling!
Again, since there isn't a whole lot of focus on the Turtles themselves, I've had to go off-book for this chapter. Man, after two years of being stuck on how to start this chapter, it finally hits me; what better way to get to the next scene by having a little bonding moment?
As always, here's the disclaimer: I don't own Godzooky; Hanna-Barbera does, or should I say Warner Bros. and Toho do. I don't own the series TMNT 1987 either; the series belongs to Murakami-Wolf-Swenson, Inc. and Viacom, and is based off the TMNT comic book series created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. I also don't own the film "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (which is their best Halloween film by far; sends me into peals of laughter every time); that's owned by Universal Pictures. And I don't own the two Looney Tunes cartoons "Duck Amuck" and "Rabbit Rampage", which are mentioned here, those are property of Warner Bros.
Recap: The search for the Technodrome is going nowhere until Splinter is attacked by strange machines that were created by one Baxter Stockman. Zooky and the Turtles, with Splinter in tow, make their way to April's apartment to put this clue to use and end up making quite a mess of the lady reporter's apartment. Frustrated with the Turtles and embarrassed by the fact that he allowed himself to be tempted into the Turtles' antics (particularly the ones caused by Raphael), Zooky ushers the Turtles out tout-suite and they begin the search for Stockman's lodgings. However…
Chapter 3
The thing about angry silence is that between certain beings, it sometimes only lasts for so long, and by the time Zooky and the Turtles were going through the ninth or tenth alleyway on the way to Stockman's place, the anger the juvenile saurian had been feeling towards his friends over practically trashing April's apartment had dissipated and now he wanted a way to break the silence.
Of course, as with many other things, the question was how to do so. He certainly didn't want to retread old ground; that would make everyone feel worse. He then began to take note of his surroundings and the Turtles ahead of him before once again looking at the address April had given them. The thought of grabbing a map had crossed his mind more than once, but it seemed that everyone knew where they were going. Which was surprising, considering three days ago, the TMNT had never been topside before.
"Hey, uh…Donnie?" Godzooky asked, hesitancy in his voice. He took a breath before pushing on, "You sure you guys have never been topside before now?"
"We're pretty sure. Why are you asking?" the bō-wielding turtle answered, his tone also a bit nervous.
"Well…it's just…you guys seem to know where you're going," the juvenile, winged saurian replied.
"Oh, well, we've practically been all over town. Not that anyone's seen us," Raphael spoke up.
"If we weren't training, we were walking around with Master Splinter through the sewers to get the lay of the land, so to speak," Leonardo explained.
Zooky could certainly understand that; that was how the Turtles knew their way around the sewers so well. But if they couldn't go topside… Oh, of course! They could figure out where they were based on smells, sounds, and the labeling on the pipes!
"You guys must have a good memory," Godzooky complimented.
"We all do now, but not always," Leonardo said. "Donatello and Splinter were usually the navigators on those expeditions."
"I take it somebody got lost at one point?" Zooky queried.
There was a moment of silence as all eyes turned to a certain ninja turtle.
"Um, like, why's everyone lookin' at me?" Michelangelo asked, starting to feel embarrassed.
"Hey, you're the one who led us on that wild goose chase," Raphael pointed out.
"It wasn't a wild goose chase, it was a wild smell chase!" the dude turtle clarified.
"My mistake," Raphael muttered sarcastically.
Godzooky tried to hold his giggles in as he prompted them to go on.
"We were just going on our usual walk around the sewers when I picked this bodacious smell wafting down through the tunnels," Michelangelo started. "'Course, I couldn't go up top to follow it; Splinter's rules. Plus, Leo reminded me not to do it."
"But even so…" Leo started, a stern look on his face.
"…What does this knucklehead do? We turn our backs for a minute and-POOF!-vanished right from under our noses," Raphael continued.
"We almost thought he went topside, but we managed to find his trail; not one muddy footprint went on any ladder," Leonardo went on.
"Hey, I might go crazy for pizza, but I'm not that crazy enough to disobey Splinter," Michelangelo said defensively.
"True, but you did lead us on one heck of a game of 'Hide-and-Seek'," Raphael said. "Took us hours to find ya!"
"And when we did, we found ourselves in an unknown section of the city's sewer system; not even I knew how to get out of it!" Donatello admitted. "That was so embarrassing."
"But not as embarrassing as what happened next, right?" Zooky guessed, a smile on his maw.
"And what do you think happened next?" Raphael asked.
"Well, eventually, you had to have found some familiar landmark, but before you could plan on how to get back without Splinter knowing what happened, he found you. And boy-howdy, were you guys in for it!" he chuckled. "Does that sound about right?"
Godzooky went four more steps before he realized that the terrapin quartet wasn't walking with him anymore. He stopped and turned around to see them standing there with stunned, embarrassed expressions on their faces; that meant that he had hit the proverbial nail on the head.
"How did you know that?" Michelangelo asked.
Now also embarrassed, Zooky put a hand to the back of his neck and said, "Uh…lucky guess?"
"Some lucky guess," Raphael said. "So how about you?"
"Huh?"
"Don't tell me you haven't done some troublemaking in your lifetime," Raphael smirked.
"I'll have you know most of those were what could be called 'accidental'," Zooky stated, growing more embarrassed by the minute.
"OK, so they were 'accidents'," Raphael said, playing along. "Can't be any worse than the one we told you about. Or was there?" he needled, noticing a smile growing on Zooky's face.
Should I or shouldn't I? he debated. "Well…" Zooky finally drawled out, "if ya really wanna know, there were a couple of I guess what could be considered…'troublemaking' moments. At least, one of them seemed like it to someone else. You see, back in Hollywood when I was about to start out, it was made clear to me that the boss had no interest in these cartoons the Looney Tunes people were making, and that was a major bummer for 'em. Then, one day, I spied a poster for a new movie on a wall outside a theater. I knew it would be a good one, so…I kinda snuck Warner Bros biggest animation stars out to go see it."
"You gotta be kiddin' me!" Raphael gasped.
"Do you realize how much trouble you could have gotten yourself into?!" Leonardo exclaimed.
"Oh, I did, believe me," Godzooky stated honestly. "But I wanted to do something to lift their spirits, and it did; I don't think I had ever seen them laugh at something so hard that wasn't their own work before."
"What was the flick ya took 'em to?" Michelangelo queried.
"I don't know if you guys might know this one: 'Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein'?"
From the way the quartet's faces lit up, Zooky had to say that the answer was "yes".
"I take it that's a favorite?" Zooky asked.
That question then pretty much prompted Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey to reenact some of the scenes from the film: Raph and Donnie did the phone call between Talbot and Wilbur—with Raph displaying his sarcastic chops as the latter and Donnie performing the former to quite a good degree, followed by Leonardo and Raph doing the McDougal's House of Horrors scene, "OH, CHICK's!" and all, with Leo as Chick, Raph once again as Wilbur, Donnie being a sneaky Dracula and Mr. McDougal, and Michelangelo as Frankenstein's Monster, and, of course, the scene with the Wilbur and the hypnotized Sandra performed by Raphael and Michelangelo while both were struggling to keep straight faces throughout the whole thing.
Once again, Zooky was laughing so hard he was lucky that the city was noisy enough already.
"OK! OK! I got the point!" the juvenile, winged saurian gasped as he and the Turtles tried to recover from their laughing bout. "And you're right, Leo; after taking the Tunes to so many movie nights, it caught up with me. Frankly, I think I was lucky to be let off with a warning," he continued once everyone had calmed down. "Of course, that didn't mean that they were over for good."
"You don't mean…?" Raphael gasped, the other three turtles looking shocked.
"Guys, guys, chill; none of that stuff ever happened without permission," Godzooky said, realizing he had to amend this quick. "The guys were always up for a movie night, and their folks gave all of them the OK; it was just 'The Big Man' that had a problem."
"OK, now ya lost me," Raphael said.
"Me too," Donatello said.
"It sounds like you're working with kids," Leonardo said.
"Nuts. All right, I guess I can't beat around the bush about this any longer," Zooky sighed.
And so, the whole story came out: Zooky meeting Roger Rabbit, the whole Marvin Acme affair, Zooky getting into Warner Bros, his 'special training', the certain cartoons he worked on, and how Toons referred to the people who created them as parental figures and each other as related in some way.
"Wow, who knew Hollywood was such a happenin' place?" Michelangelo asked, rather stunned by the story.
"It is, but I have a feeling that it may just apply to the Hollywood that Zooky comes from," Donatello said. "You have to remember that stuff like Zooky described doesn't happen here."
"Right, because Zooky's from a different world," Leonardo said.
"Bingo," Donatello affirmed.
"I'm still lost," Raphael muttered.
"I guess it's a 'you have to be there to get it' sort of thing," Zooky shrugged.
"Anyway, didn't you say there was another 'troublemaking' incident you were a part of?" the quick-witted turtle asked, getting the conversation back on track.
"Oh, yeah. Just for the record, that was totally Daffy's fault," Zooky stated. "During the filming of 'Rabbit Rampage', which is sort of a sequel to 'Duck Amuck', he had made a bet on how Bugs would handle it and had me hold the opposing point."
"What did he say?" Donatello asked.
"He said, 'That rabbit won't las-th-t five stheconds under that kind of abusthe'," Zooky answered, doing an impression of Daffy as best he could. "Turned out Daffy was right about that; after each day of that shoot, Bugs came home in a bad mood. It got even worse when he found out about the bet after filming wrapped."
"What happened?" Michelangelo asked eagerly.
"To make a long story short, the studio cafeteria was left in a shambles, every bystander had jangled nerves, and Daffy and I had bumps on our heads that lasted for about a week."
"Yikes," Donatello winced.
"Sounds like the rabbit has quite a temper for someone able to stay cool under pressure," Raphael remarked. "Kinda makes what we went through look like a walk through the tulips."
"Yeah, but April sure was mad," Michelangelo said as they started walking again.
"You would be too, if your guests went around your apartment and turned the place inside out," Zooky pointed out.
"Sorry about that, by the way," Leonardo said. "You told us to behave and we ended up making you lose face with April."
"Well, you aren't the only ones who ended up making a mess," Zooky confessed. "I let myself get dragged into it, too."
"Yeah, but it was worth it, wasn't it?" Raphael grinned.
"I guess…if ya like having the image of 'Raphie Antoinette' stuck in your brain for days," Zooky snickered, making the others laugh at the mental image.
"You are never gonna let that go, are ya, Mr. Half-Caught-In-A-Snowdrift?" Raphael shot right back, making everyone laugh harder.
"Very funny, guys, but we need to stick to business," Leonardo said as he began climbing over a fence, though a grin persisted. "We gotta find this Baxter Stockman person."
"I hope he hasn't had time to build any more of those little machines," Donatello said before he followed Leo.
"Don't forget, Donnie; those little machines back in the Lair smelled of the Technodrome," Zooky reminded as he flew over the fence. "That could mean not only is it a rolling fortress, it's a factory, too. And factories can get stuff done faster than a normal being."
"In that case, we'd better get crankin', dudes," Michelangelo said.
Luckily, it didn't take long to find Stockman's residence after that; it was in one of the run-down, not exactly safest parts of the city. Zooky had to wonder if Stockman had another means of income in addition to making weird little robots for evil ninjas to make sure he still had a roof over his head.
"You pickin' anything up yet?" Raphael asked the juvenile saurian as they peeked out from underneath a manhole cover.
"Not yet," Zooky answered. "But even if I do, it might not be via my sixth sense; unless he does a direct attack on my person or on someone else I know, the only way I'd pick him up is either by sight or by smell. And since I don't have the latter, it'll have to be by sight. Is everyone else ready?" he then asked.
The kaiju-turtle duo lifted the cover a bit more and looked around; Donatello was waiting up on a nearby light post while Leonardo and Michelangelo were waiting in another building across the street.
"Yep, we're all set," Raphael affirmed.
"Hey, remind me to talk with Donnie about making us some communicators or something; it'd make this stuff a lot easier. Cheese it!" he gasped suddenly as two lights came into his line of vision. "Company's here!"
Raph and Zooky ducked down as a light-yellow 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon pulled up to the curb and its passenger disembarked and began walking to the door. Zooky looked between the picture and the man and did a mental checklist:
Short hair, apparently dark-yellow in color? Check.
Spectacles? Check.
Lab coat? Check.
A rather eager yet nervous look about him? Check.
Now for one more thing. Carefully stretching his nose out, Zooky tried to get a whiff of the man's scent. What he got was the scent of evil and metal…as well as the sound of footsteps and the sight of four Foot Soldier robots approaching.
"What do you want now?" the man, Baxter Stockman, asked the Foot Soldiers wearily.
They didn't say a word, just aimed their firearms.
Zooky almost jumped out, but Raphael held him back until:
"Time to take out the garbage!" he heard Donatello cry out, followed by a crash.
Zooky and Raphael jumped out from their hiding place, revealing to the saurian that Donatello had used a metal trash can to disable one robot ninja while kicking another down the stairs. Once that Foot Soldier was up, the juvenile saurian spit out a mini fireball at the ground that got its attention. Almost simultaneously, a weighted chain was thrown from somewhere behind Zooky and wrapped around two of the other Foot Soldiers.
"Nice shot!" Zooky complimented whoever threw the weapon.
"You're no match for Michelangelo, master of the manrikigusari!" the dude turtle laughed.
"And they're no match for Raphael and Godzooky, masters of the manhole cover!" the quick-witted turtle announced as the last remaining Foot Soldier came towards him and Zooky.
The juvenile saurian waited for the right moment…the robot began to rush right at him…and he jumped up and over while the Foot Soldier crashed into the manhole cover Raphael was holding with a clang and fell into the sewers below.
"Hee! What a sucker," Raphael laughed before dropping the lid back into place. "Nice work there, bro," he complimented Zooky.
"When you work in show business, one of the most important things you learn is hitting your mark," Godzooky stated.
"Well, he certainly hit his," Raphael joked, referring to the Foot Soldier who had fallen into the sewers.
Not quite what he had meant, but Zooky laughed anyway.
Now it was time for the reason the four Turtles and the adolescent kaiju were here.
"OK, bub," Raphael began sternly as he approached Stockman. "Let's chat…"
A good deal of scuffling and protesting on Stockman's part later, the scientist was tied to a lamppost while Michelangelo and Zooky went through his pockets for any clues.
"You wanna clue us in on what this is?" Michelangelo asked as he fished out a small remote control and showed it to the others.
Zooky already had a faint idea, but he let the bespectacled human answer:
"It's the remote control for my Mousers."
"Do you have any more of these…Mousers?" the juvenile saurian asked.
"No," Stockman answered. "But the Shredder has; hundreds of them."
"Hundreds of them"? This was not good.
Why couldn't I have been wrong about those ankle-biters? Zooky worried silently.
"And where is the Shredder now?" Leonardo interrogated.
However, Stockman was proving to quite defiant for someone who sounded nervous: "I'll never talk."
Zooky clenched his jaw and unconsciously pulled his lips back from his teeth in a snarl; he didn't want to do anything drastic, but they needed that information.
"Hey, Zuke."
"Huh? What's up, Raph?"
"C'mere, would ya?" the sai-wielding turtle beckoned. Once Zooky had leaned over, Raph whispered, "I think this guy just needs a friendly-lookin' face to get 'im to loosen up…if you catch my drift," he finished with a wink.
Zooky didn't catch on at first, but when Raph showed his teeth, the proverbial lightbulb went off.
"You'd better," Zooky told Stockman as he went to the human.
"Or else my friend and I are gonna get…sarcastic," Raphael finished.
On that last word, both Zooky and Raphael bared their teeth while the latter also held a sai at hand and out of his friend's line of sight; some "insurance" in case Plan A wasn't enough.
However, if being approached by giant, talking turtles and what looked like a bipedal, winged dragon wasn't enough to make someone nervous, seeing said dragon's full grin was downright terrifying.
"He's in an old mansion on Green Street near 10th. He's got a master control for all the Mousers there," Baxter blurted in a near rapid-fire fashion that had him gasping for breath at the end of it.
"Thanks a heap, doc," Zooky told the frightened scientist in a light tone, patting him on the head for good measure.
"See? Nothing beats cutting wit and a dazzling smile," Raphael grinned as he discreetly sheathed his sai and gave Zooky a pat on the shoulder.
"You guys know where that place is?" Zooky asked.
"Green Street's all the way downtown," Leonardo answered.
"Yeah! How are we gonna get there in time?" Michelangelo asked.
Zooky knew he could probably get there in time by flying, but including the Turtles would mean getting a little bigger and that would cause a scene. Walking was certainly out the window, but where would they find a taxi at this hour?
A tap on his left shoulder brought Zooky out of his thoughts and a green, three-fingered hand wearing a red wristband brought his attention to the vehicle Stockman had driven up in.
"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Raphael asked.
Zooky was unsure about the idea; if they took Stockman's van, then they would be stealing. But, this was an emergency, and…
"Look at it this way: Do you think he'll need it when people find out what his Mousers have done?" Donatello asked.
The answer to that was "no", so after Zooky relieved Baxter of his car keys with a cheerful "Hey, mind if I take these? We're in a bit of a hurry. Thanks!", the quintet approached the van and the juvenile, winged saurian unlocked it.
Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo entered the vehicle through the back doors, which revealed a bunch of scientific equipment that the genius turtle began to list.
"You know, we could use some of this junk!" Godzooky heard Michelangelo exclaim as he went around to the front.
Raphael was already sitting in the front passenger seat, leaving the driver's seat unoccupied. That is, until Mikey decided to try to climb over.
"Ah-ah-ah!" Zooky exclaimed, getting while also gently pushing the nunchuk-wielding turtle back.
"Hey, c'mon, Z-man!" Mikey complained.
"Sorry, Mikey, but if I had to guess, none of you guys have ever driven a car before," Zooky said.
"And you can?" Raphael asked.
"As a matter of fact, I can; took my driver's test and got my license and everything. Of course, I would show you to prove it, but it was in my coat and that's long gone," Zooky said as he took in the layout of the van's dash. "OK, little different than what I'm used to, but the basic principle is the same, so…"
Using the keys, he turned the engine on, then got the vehicle in gear and gently pressed the gas pedal with his left foot. At least, he thought he had done it gently.
"Cowabunga!" "Yikes!" "Whoa!" were the cries that erupted from the back as the van took off pretty fast before Zooky eased up on the gas.
"OK, now I think I got it," Zooky stated slowly as he brought the van to the right side of the road. "Gas must be a bit touchy," he figured.
"Huh, a kaiju that knows how to drive. Who'd have thunk it?" Raphael shrugged to the fourth wall.
"Uh, guys?" Donatello called from the back. "Has it occurred to you just how easily those Mousers found Splinter?"
"Yeah…" Zooky trailed, not sure he was liking where this was going.
"So what?" Raphael asked.
"So, uh, if there are hundreds of them now…"
Oh no.
"APRIL AND SPLINTER!" the guys shouted in alarm.
"Pedal to the metal, man! And step on it!" Michelangelo yelped.
"Hold on!" Zooky warned as he turned the wheel left pretty hard, almost making the van fall on its side as it made the U-turn. "Now, I think we might need a—NEVER MIND!" the juvenile saurian yelped.
"What's wrong?!" Leonardo asked in a worried tone.
"I know where we're going! Hold on to your shells!" Zooky called as he made another hard turn.
"But I thought he didn't know his way around here," Michelangelo said.
"Um, sixth sense, hello?" Raphael pointed out.
"Oh, yeah."
"Let's just hope it can get us there in time before those things do some major damage," Leonardo said seriously…before he and the other turtles were once again thrown into the van wall by another turn.
Someone remind me later to get some seatbelts for the back; the way some of us might end up driving this thing, we'll end up looking like bruised tomatoes before we get to where we're going, Donatello muttered to himself as Michelangelo crashed into him once more.
And done! Man, like I said before, this took a long time before the interest finally caught me again, but I hope this makes up for the long absence, especially for whoever's been clamoring for more of these. Speaking of which, I know there are some other things you guys and girls want me to update, but you're gonna have to wait a bit; some of these chapters have quite a bit of content to go over for the Author's Notes.
Anyway, it looks like Zooky just can't stay mad at his new brother-figures for too long, and thus tries to start up a conversation around how well they seem to know their way around topside despite having been in the sewers all their lives. Come on, you can't tell me you didn't notice that. OK, granted, maybe they went through some sewers to avoid detection, but from what I got from that brief scene, for the most part, they stayed above ground. Of course, that conversation turns into a story about how Mikey led Leo, Donnie, and Raph on what the quick-witted Turtle called "one heck of a game of 'Hide-and-Seek'". Let me tell you, this won't be the last time the dude Turtle will wander off following his nose, and I've got two fanfics by Authors PerkyGoth14 and VG-Classic-Fan that are based on the 2009 movie "Turtles Forever" to thank for that idea; I'm hoping that I'll be able to add my own iteration to the line-up once I get far enough with the '87 series.
Once the Turtles share a 'troublemaking' anecdote, they start asking their new bro for one, and, frankly, after coming through many planned titles plus my own memory, there's not many that I can find. However, I do have a massive, unfinished draft of a biography detailing Zooky's time in Hollywood with the Looney Tunes and, as luck would have it, there are two cases. The first is the time Zooky snuck Porky, Daffy, Bugs, Tweety, Elmer, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, and Pepe Le Pew out to see "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" on its premiere date (after getting approval from their "fathers", of course) to get them away from "The Big Man" at the time, who was Eddie Selzer. From what I've heard, turns out the guy never really put a lot of stock in the Looney Tunes and often butted heads with the directors, yet received accolades when certain cartoons (that he doubted) did well. That had to be killer on the morale for the early Looney Tunes stars, hence several "movie nights" occurred. But you know, you can't mention "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" without having someone act out a few bits, and that's just what the Turtles end up doing. Man, one can only imagine Cam Clarke, Barry Gordon, Rob Paulsen, and Townsend Coleman riffing on that movie as the Turtles.
However, while telling this story, another one comes through: Zooky's experiences in Hollywood with the Looney tunes, starting with how he met Roger Rabbit, then the events of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and his experiences making cartoons. Said story also carries an explanation of the Toon community; how Toons refer to their creators as parent figures and that many Toons are related in some way. It's quite a head-spinner for the guys, that's for sure.
The next troublemaking anecdote from Zooky is probably the clearest detail from the massive, unfinished draft I have, mostly because I based the incident from a scene from "The Apple Dumpling Gang". Basically, as Zooky said, Daffy made a bet with an unwilling Zooky that Bugs wouldn't be able to handle the "Duck Amuck" treatment and won (for once). When Bugs found out, chaos abounds a la the bar chase/fight scene from "The Apple Dumpling Gang"; if you don't know it, find it online or grab a copy of the movie you might have. Of course, one slight edit to that scene is that some of the other Looney Tunes actively get caught in the crossfire. Maybe I'll write a oneshot of the incident and put it up at some point.
Once the story finally gets back on track with the original material, we get to see the Turtles' first encounter with Baxter Stockman as "the camera" follows Zooky. I figured that since Raph was holding a manhole cover, he was probably staking the place out from the sewers, hence why he and Zooky are there when the scene starts. When the Turtles interrogate Stockman, this is probably the closest '87 Raphael gets to his rougher counterpart as he holds a sai rather close to Baxter. Of course, with Zooky in the picture, the scene is modified a bit and Zooky's "dazzling smile" certainly does the job, but Raph decides to keep the sai suggestion open just in case.
And then we come to the guys driving the pre-modified Turtle Van. Once I came to this part, I began wondering just what kind of model it was, but it sure wasn't easy to find; I finally decided to pick a model that was closest to the Turtle Van in terms of how it looked as well as the year it was made, and the 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon was it. If you guys know the true model of the 1987 Turtle Van, please let me know. However, as the terrapin quartet don't have a licensed driver among them, Zooky volunteers to drive as he is one. However, since they now know that there are hundreds of Mousers on the prowl, that means that Splinter and April are in deep trouble! Zooky floors it and Leo, Donatello, and Mikey go flying to the van floor. Will they make it in time?
Here are the questions:
What are some of your reactions to the stories Zooky and the Turtles trade as a way to break the silence after what happened in the previous chapter?
Are there any other modes of transportation to Green Street that you would consider before taking Stockman's van?
Who would you trust more to drive the van?
Not many questions, I know, but this isn't exactly an action-packed chapter.
Next time, will Zooky and the TMNT be able to save April and Splinter? Will they be able to stop Shredder? And what else may they encounter? All will be answered in the next chapter of "Godzooky and the TMNT: A Thing About Rats"!
Until then, please read and review! Thank you!
