Lol, inspiration, gotta love it!

Oh, yeah, the chapters are a little... well, i kinda forgot that the first 'chapter' was actually an intro, so the numbers are a little wacky. sorry!

Chapter 29

Oh Shell!

The puddle of water on the ground suddenly began to shimmer. It moved, stretching, floating to create some sort of doorway.

From the door way stepped Mikey, who yelled," HEY DUDES AND DUDETTES, WE'RE HOOO-OOOOME!"

He stopped short as he looked around. There was no one there.

"Huh, that's weird."

"What's weird?" Donatello came from behind him.

"No one's here dude. The place is dead!" Mikey observed as the others followed.

Raph shrugged," Maybe they went to April's for some girl-time or something."

Nerissa shook her head," No, Andromeda promised they would be here when we got back. There is something wrong."

Splinter frowned and sniffed the air a couple of times before murmuring," They have been the only ones here."

Mikey was running through the lair, yelling," Daphne?! Dudette?! Anyone here?!"

Donatello grabbed a shell-cell and called April.

Raphael added," I'll head over to L.H.'s place, to see if they're over there."

Mikey yelled," Not if I get there first!"

Nerissa went to the girl's room and peered in as Leo headed for the kitchen, to see if they had left any notes.

Don got off the phone," April said she hasn't seen them."

Nerissa groaned," If they're in any trouble, I swear, I'm going to kill them!"

Leatherhead heard the fighting before Mikey and Raphael actually walked in… er, rolled in. they were wrestling at the moment, Raphael yelling all the things he was going to do to Mikey, while Mikey screamed that Raphael was actually a wuss because some girl beat him in the finals of the Battle Nexus Tournament. Leatherhead took a deep breath and bellowed," QUIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEET!"

The two terrapins paused as they looked up at Leatherhead.

"Oh, hi LH! Miss us?"

"Actually, I have some grave news." Leatherhead told them softly.

Raphael was already on his feet as he demanded," Where are the girls?"

Leatherhead swallowed, trying to control the rage that threatened to tear from his throat.

He took in a deep breath and growled," Bishop has them."

Raphael's eyes widened and he sucked in his breath," No…"

Mikey's jaw dropped as he demanded," How?! What happened?"

Leatherhead turned away, trying to control the animal that raged within him. He had been struggling for the past two days to keep a clear head.

"I don't know. But I believe it has something to do with the fact that April and Mr. Munroe tried to contact that turtle-girl. I have already enlisted the help of Mars, as he can more easily roam the streets that I can."

"Hold on, You let that weird mutant turtle into the lair?!" Raphael demanded.

Leatherhead snarled," Of course not! As it happens, HE came to me, because he is an expert tracker. I am afraid there is more bad news.

The two waited.

Leatherhead winced," The Foot has created some sort of Super-soldier… Mars faced one, the night before you left, and he came to me because of this. He wanted to know about the foot symbol, and I told him as much as I could. He is, as of this moment, looking for Bishop's base, where the girls are keeping him. Ms. O'Neil and Mr. Jones are trying to track them down as well. They are no longer in the place where… where you found me." Leatherhead tried not to think about that last sentence. The place where he had been dissected, tortured and re-sewn.

Raphael quickly interjected," The rat WOULD find another hole to hide… no offense to Master Splinter."

Leatherhead growled slightly as he added," The super-soldiers created by Shredder were most likely enhanced with Andromeda and Daphne's DNA because they possess the exact same powers. The ability to become indestructibly strong, as well as the ability to cause cardiac arrest in others."

Raphael swallowed hard.

"Great… just great."

Mikey added," Some home-coming this turned out to be!"

Like? Hate? Review and let me know!!
