NMNT Season 3 Chapter 5: Touch and Go
-The Lair-
It had been about two days since the alien invasion and the city of New York, as well as the rest of the world, was still reeling from the attacks made by the Triceratons and the Federation.
Currently in the lair, Leatherhead was helping Donatello fix the televisions in the entertainment center.
"First the red wire then the blue wire," said the crocodile as Don did as he was told. The TV's then came to life, albeit with static as the screens.
Michelangelo then came running in with an antenna made out of tinfoil.
"Here Leatherhead, wear this for a minute" he said as he put his device on the crocodile's head.
"Mikey, what are you doing?" Don asked.
"Trying to get some TV reception," Mikey replied as he sat down on the couch.
"If you wait a minute, we'll have a whole new computerized communications array up and running," said Don.
"I don't want TV in a minute, I want it now," said Mikey.
"We're in the middle of a very delicate procedure here," said Don.
"So am I," said Mikey.
"Careful Mikey, you don't want to start something here," said Naruto as he walked in to observe the situation.
Mikey just ignored him and began giving instructions to Leatherhead.
"Leatherhead, lean to the right."
Leatherhead did so.
"No, to the left."
The crocodile obliged and a picture of a woman news reporter started to come in.
"A little more aaaaaaaannnnnnnd stop. Alright we got something," said Mikey.
"A short time has passed since the fear inducing alien invasion," said the woman news reporter, "but it seems New York is already getting back on its feet."
Footage of the military clearing away the rubble and alien weaponry, as well as people trying to get their hands on the weapons lying around.
"City-wide clean-up efforts will take time. The military and police are urging citizens not to touch anything as there is still live ammunition out there."
Footage then showed the new Justice Force helping the military clear away the enormous pieces of rubble.
"There is good news, it seems that the Justice Force is back in action and is helping clean-up crews all over the city."
The picture on the TV then turned back to static.
"Aww," Mikey whined, "they were just getting to the good part. Smooth move Leather-Dork."
Leatherhead growled in annoyance as his eyes changed from pupils to slits in a fraction of a second. He then ripped apart the home-made antennae as he faced Mikey with a look that just screamed he was going to kill him. Naruto and Don quickly noticed this and in a flash they held him in his place.
"Easy Leatherhead," said Naruto, "Don't let Mikey get to you."
"Yeah," said Don, "It's his secret superpower."
Just then the doors to Splinter's room slid open and the rat stepped out.
"Naruto, have Leonardo and Raphael returned from Miss O'Neil's?" Splinter asked.
"Not yet Master Splinter," Naruto replied.
"Then you and Michelangelo shall come with me to inspect the sewer tunnels, there may still be some damage," said Splinter.
"Aww, why do I have to come?" Mikey complained.
"You are only causing trouble here," Splinter replied, "Donatello and Leatherhead have important work to do, besides it will give you a chance to focus on your training. I am determined to see you establish a mind-body connection."
"Then why does Naruto have to come with?" Mikey asked.
"So we can make a more thorough effort when clearing away any messes we may find," Splinter answered, "a job becomes more efficient when there are more helping hands."
And the group of three then walked out of the lair.
-The 2nd Time Around: Night-
Up on the surface, Casey, Raphael and Leonardo busily helped make repairs to April and her shop. Currently they were standing outside and putting boards in place of windows until the glass windows came.
"Well, that's got it covered," said Leo as all three males hammered in their final nails on their respective boards.
"This'll hold 'til you get it repaired," said Raph.
"Well, I can't thank you guys enough," said April, "You really helped me out here."
"No problem," said Casey, "besides, what are friends for?"
"Nevertheless, your help is most appreciated," April replied, "now I don't know about you guys, but I have to re-do my inventory, so I'm going to call it a night for now."
"Alright then," said Leo, "We'll see you later."
The three heroes of the night at first walked together before Casey split off in a different direction (presumably to his apartment) while saying, "I don't know about you guys, but I gotta get home and get ready for my date."
"Oh really," Raph sniggered, "and what would her name be?"
"You'll know soon enough," Casey replied as he headed home.
"How much you wanna bet that she's real?" Raph asked Leo as they climbed up onto a roof top.
"Oh no," Leo protested, "the last time I challenged against you, I ended up with a face full of whipped cream courtesy of an elaborate prank set up by Naruto."
"Ah, you're no fun you killjoy," Raph remarked.
"We'll see how much of a killjoy I am after I beat you home like the last time I raced against you," said Leo as he started to walk at a much faster pace, then into a light jog.
"I think your memory is a little rusty there Leo," Raph replied as he too started to walk at a much faster pace, then into a light jog, "I won last time."
"Well it looks like I'm gonna have to prove you wrong Mr. I Can't Admit Defeat," said Leo.
"Keep dreamin' bro, I'll wait for you back at the lair," Raph replied as he over took Leo and leapt to the next rooftop with Leo following not too far behind.
-The Sewers-
The group of three were making their round of inspections on the sewer tunnels.
"It appears that many of the side tunnels are still collapsed or flooded," said Splinter.
"Yep, the tunnels are in bad shape," said Mikey as he turned around and said, "Oh well, let's head home."
He was immediately stopped by Naruto, who playfully yanked his arm and said, "Oh no, you're not going anywhere. If I have to suffer, then you do too."
Splinter sighed while they continued to walk forward as he addressed Mikey and said, "My son, physically you have a natural affinity for the martial arts but mentally your mind is undisciplined and unruly."
"I'm a teenager sensei, undisciplined and unruly is what we do best," Mikey replied.
"You are also a ninja and you must learn to use your mind more and your mouth less," Splinter replied.
They then came upon an enormous mound of rubble.
"Naruto," said Splinter, "can you clear this in a fast, safe and efficient manner?"
The blond ninja then tapped a random brick and shook his head while answering, "Nope, I'd end up doing more harm than good."
"Looks like it's a dead end," said Mikey.
The rat sensei sighed as he looked around and saw a ladder leading up to the surface. "I was hoping to learn if the tunnels leading to the subway are still intact," he said, "but it appears we will have to surface for a short distance."
"Hell yeah, we're gonna hit the surface! Wahoo!" Mikey exclaimed happily.
"Presumably a very short distance," said Naruto as Splinter started to climb, the brothers right behind him.
"We will re-enter the sewers one block to the west," said Splinter.
-New York City Streets: Night-
A manhole cover opened up in an alley as Splinter pushed it aside and leapt out while Naruto and Mikey just carefully climbed out. The group of three then all used the cover of darkness and ran towards the nearest manhole.
However, unbeknownst to them, a man with an extremely long pony-tail who was wearing a white suit, gloves and fedora while carrying a cane watched them through some thermal goggles.
"Well, well, well," he said (in a horrific French accent) to his partner (who was immensely taller and more muscular, while also wearing a black suit and gloves but no hat), "Payday Mr. Touch. It's the rat and two of his brood coming out of their little hiding hole."
"Then it would appear it's time for us to get to work Mr. Go," said Mr. Touch (in an equally bad French accent) as he bumped fists with Mr. Go. Electricity then cackled around their combined fists for a bit before they separated their hands. They then leapt down and started to follow the group of three.
As the group of three turned into an alley way and opened up a man hole cover, Splinter jerked his head up and looked behind himself alerting the brothers.
"What is it Master Splinter?" Naruto asked. Splinter gave no reply as he sniffed the air.
"Something is following us," he said, "quickly, we must get underground." And he hurried the brothers down the man hole while he climbed down last and put the man hole cover back in.
Just then, Misters Touch and Go came around the corner and lifted up the man hole cover.
"After you Mr. Go."
"Oh, you're too kind Mr. Touch."
Mr. Go then leapt down into the sewers with Mr. Touch right behind him (after he made the hole bigger to accommodate him).
-The Sewers-
The group of three continued to evade their followers.
"Master Splinter I'm hungry," Mikey complained.
"Stop thinking with your stomach then," said Naruto.
"Michelangelo, you must focus," said the rat.
"But focusing makes me even more hungry," Mikey complained.
Not too far behind, Mr. Go was about to catch up with the group of three.
"Poor Mr. Touch had better catch up or else there won't be any living bodies left to play with," he said. He then traveled at an almost instantaneous speed and would have punched Splinter into a wall were it not for Naruto's timely intervention. This gave Splinter the opportunity to begin striking the would-be assassin with his wooden cane. Mr. Go then leapt away from Naruto and began to counteract Splinter's wooded cane with his with his white metal cane. The clashes echoed everywhere, then Mr. Go leapt away and knocked both brothers into the sewer wall with an unusually powerful kick.
Splinter the tried to throw hard punches at the new opponent, but Mr. Go swung his cane into Splinter's leg, making the rat cry out in pain. Mr. Go then kicked him into the sewer walls and prepared to deliver to finishing blow, only to be stop by Mikey and Naruto.
"Alright zippy-pants," said Mikey as he swung his Nun-Chucks, "Let's just see how fast you really are."
Mr. Go retaliated with a leg sweep, which Naruto avoided but Mikey didn't. Naruto then leapt right at Mr. Go and the two began to fight in hand to hand combat. The two opponents matched each other punch for punch and jab for jab. Naruto then tried to increase his rate of attack, but Mr. Go seemed to catch up almost instantaneously. Naruto then leapt back and as he did, he fired off several rounds of shuriken, most of which were either blocked or dodged by Mr. Go. Naruto then clenched his right hand into a fist and tied up Mr. Go in a mess of ninja wire. However, Mr. Go smirked as he easily broke free from the ensnarement, quickly pulled in the blond ninja before he could retaliate and punched him into Splinter, who had managed to get up.
Mikey then leapt in with a roundhouse kick to the face, to which Mr. Go barely flinched from as he and Mikey began to exchange blows. However, Mikey noticed that Mr. Go's punches were drastically less powerful than before and that he was beginning to tire. Soon the punches became mere annoyances to the mutant turtle as he picked up his opponent and threw him into the sewer wall as hard as he could.
"What's the matter Sparky, dead battery?" Mikey taunted.
His reply came in the form of a giant fist that pummeled him into a support beam. Splinter and Naruto quickly came to his aid.
"Michelangelo," Splinter cried out.
"Who in the hell are you guys?" Naruto asked as Mr. Touch made his presence known.
"I'm sorry, where are my manners," said Mr. Go as he made the introductions, "Allow me to introduce ourselves: he is Mr. Touch and I am Mr. Go."
"Crappy porn star names if you ask me," Naruto replied. The two assassins ignored the blond ninja as they bumped fists with each other. Electricity then crackled between the two fists as Mr. Go's power was completely recharged.
"Am I late Mr. Go?" Mr. Touch asked.
"Fashionably Mr. Touch," Mr. Go replied. And the two then slowly advanced on the three heroes.
Thinking quickly, Splinter decided to knock down the concrete support beam that Mikey smashed into. This effectively sent an entire portion of ceiling crashing down on the two assassins.
"What the hell was that all about?" Mikey wondered.
Just then the pile of rubble started to shake.
"That debris isn't going to hold them," said Naruto.
"What are these guys, Terminators?" Mikey asked (do I even need to explain the reference?).
"We must go," said Splinter as he tried to walk, instead he ended up clutching his right leg while groaning in pain. Naruto and Mikey then slung an arm over their right and left shoulders respectively.
"We got you Sensei," said Naruto as they both helped him walk away.
-With Raph-
Raph desperately tried to catch up with Leo, but no matter how hard he tried he could not close the distance.
"Man," he huffed, "Leo's kickin' my ass. There's just gotta be some way I can-."
Just then an idea popped into his head.
"Wait a minute," he said with a smug smirk, "it I cut across ol' Atwidger Alley, I'll beat him home in half the time."
And he ran in a new direction towards his left, hopping across rooftops every so often.
"No way Leo's gonna beat me now," said Raph. Suddenly as he stepped onto the edge of the rooftop he was on, the ledge started to crumble beneath his right foot; this in turn made him lose his balance as he fell into the alley while yelling, "Oh shiiiiiiiiit!"
Quickly composing himself, Raph contorted his falling body to grab onto a nearby clothesline. He then spun around a bit before launching himself out of the alley and onto a street lamp where he spun around to slow himself down before landing on the street.
"Man I'm good," he said with a smile. But his jubilation was cut short when some flash shone wildly where he stood. To his right, the Turtle could see a small mob of people (who were brandishing Triceraton laser guns) heading towards him. Luckily for him, the mob could not clearly see him but they still knew something was there.
"I see it!"
"What the hell is it?!"
"I can't make it out, but whatever it is we'll kill it!"
"It's probably one of those alien invaders!"
Shouted various people
"What now," Raph muttered, "some damn angry villagers?" And he started to run towards an alley.
"Hey, it's on the move!" someone shouted.
"It's going that way!" shouted another.
"Come on let's kill it!" shouted a third. Everyone else in the mob yelled in agreement.
Just then Raph ran into the alley but found it to be a dead end and with nothing to hide behind.
"Damn it," the ol' turtle luck runnin' true to form," he muttered as he took out his weapons and prepared to defend himself, "New York, New York; it's a hell of a town."
Just then a door to his left opened and an elderly woman stepped out, evidently hearing the commotion, and asked, "Yes, who's there?"
Raph, who was in the shadows as a precaution, answered, "Uh, me; I'm Raphael."
"Oh you must be one of Mr. Rosetti's boys," the old lady replied kindly, "I'm Mrs. Morrison. Help me dear, take my hand." She then outstretched her arm so Raph could grab and hold on. "I can't see you," she continued, "I can't see anything. I've been blind for almost a year now."
Raph then put away his Sais and gently grabbed hold of Mrs. Morrison's hand.
"I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow," she said kindly, "Come on in and I'll show you what to do."
She then led the turtle inside; but as she was about to close her door, a member of the angry mob gently but firmly held the door open.
"Excuse me ma'am," said the man holding the door open, "have you seen any strange alien creature run by here?"
Mrs. Morrison just laughed. "Don't be silly," she said, "There aren't any aliens around here." And she closed the door, leaving the angry mob to go search elsewhere.
-A Subway Station-
Mikey, Naruto and Splinter were still on the run from Misters Touch and Go.
"I don't get it," said Mikey, "The super strength, the super speed? Sensei, Naruto, how do we fight those guys."
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Naruto.
Splinter had a different answer, "You must focus your mind Michelangelo and an opportunity will present itself."
But before Mikey had a chance to think and weight his options, a voice filled the air with murder and glee.
"Hello again my friends," Mr. Go called out in a mocking manner, as he and Mr. Touch stepped out, "since you three will not party with us, we will have to bring the party to you."
"I take my earlier insult back," said Naruto, "those aren't crappy porn star names, those are crappy hooker names."
"Hooker names or not, nous sera te botter le cul (translation: 'we will kick your ass' in French)," said Mr. Go as he and Mr. Touch bumped fists and charged up their fighting strength.
Mr. Go then leapt right at the three as he punched Naruto and Mikey right into a wall while kicking Splinter in the shin. The rat yelled out in pain as he staggered back and leaned up against a support pillar, then he barely managed to dodge the punch thrown by Mr. Touch. Mikey then went toe to toe against Mr. Go, swinging his Nun-chucks in sweeping motions, hoping to catch his opponent off-guard. However, Mr. Go had other ideas as he grabbed Mikey by his weapons and threw him into a wooden bench.
Meanwhile Naruto exchanged blows with Mr. Touch. The orange-robed ninja tried to throw his punches faster than his opponent could keep up, but Mr. Touch met him at every blow. Naruto then tried to execute some well-placed jabs, but Mr. Go never gave him an opening as he picked Naruto up by his wrists and slammed him into the ground.
Before he could do more damage, Splinter then leapt in and punched Mr. Touch straight into Mr. Go, who was about to finish off Mikey. Mikey then took advantage of the brief opportunity to rejoin his family.
"Did we win?" Mikey asked.
"Not even close," said Mr. Go as he and Mr. Touch bumped fists again.
-With Raph-
"All those boxes go near the door," said Mrs. Morrison as Raph did his job of moving boxes from the living room to the back door, "the large trunk as well."
"Meow," said Mrs. Morrison's white cat.
"You movin' out Mrs. M?" Raph asked.
"Forced out I'm afraid," Mrs. Morrison replied sadly, "the bank is foreclosing on my mortgage. Ever since my husband died, the money's mostly gone and I haven't got any other family." Then she smiled a sad smile as she added, "All I have is Lucy, my cat."
Lucy then went up to Raph and happily purred as she rubbed up against his leg as she went, "Meow."
Raph felt a pang of sorrow in his heart as he took in this kind stranger's situation.
-The Subway Station-
"Ah, this is going to be more fun than I had hopped Mr. Touch," said Mr. Go.
"Absolutely Mr. Go," Mr. Touch agreed.
At that moment, a light bulb went off in Mikey's head and he whispered to Splinter and Naruto, "I have an idea." And he whispered his plan to the both of them. The group of three then started to encircle their enemies. The heroes then stopped when they had their backs facing the subway rail line. They all then heard a train horn.
"I believe it is time for these three to catch their train Mr. Go," said Mr. Touch with an evil smile.
"I concur," said Mr. Go as they rapidly went up to the heroes and punched them onto the incoming train. Only a fraction of a second passed before the train hit all three of them. When it was all over, only an orange robe, a brown cane and two Nun-chucks remained.
"I think our employer will be pleased Mr. Go," said Mr. Touch.
"I am rather pleased myself Mr. Touch," said Mr. Go.
And they laughed evilly as they picked up the aforementioned items.
"I believe we have earned ourselves some extra money Mr. Go," said Mr. Touch.
"Then it is time to visit our employer," said Mr. Go.
-With Raph-
Raph sat in the kitchen and drank some tea from a tea cup.
"Don't slurp son," said Mrs. Morrison kindly as she poured herself a cup.
"Oh, uh, sorry ma'am," Raph apologized. Just then, Lucy leapt up to Raph's right shoulder and happily purred as she said, "Mew," and rubbed her head and face against Raph's right cheek. Raph chuckled as he gently scratched her head and chin.
"Lucy's really taken a liking to you Raphael," said Mrs. Morrison, "she usually doesn't take to strangers."
"Well my brother Naruto told me it was always worth it to be kind to all living things that deserve it. I guess I'm rubbing off of him," said Raph as he petted Lucy some more.
Mrs. Morrison nodded as she replied, "She used to live in the alley outback. I sort of adopted her or she adopted me, it's hard to tell with cats."
"Well, I'm a bit of an alley cat too," said Raph as he finished his tea, "maybe that's why she likes me."
Mrs. Morrison smiled as she too finished her tea and said, "Well I shouldn't keep you any longer, it is a school night after all."
"Yeah, my father will probably be watin' for me," Raph replied as he gently let Lucy down off his shoulder and stood up. Mrs. Morrison then stood up and picked up Lucy as Raph stepped out through the back door.
"Maybe you could stop by again Raphael," said Mrs. Morrison, "Lucy and I will be here a little longer. We'd love to have you."
"Me?" Raph asked in both happiness and wonder, "really? Thanks Mrs. M, I'd like that." And he walked away for a bit before lifting up a manhole cover and entering it.
Before Mrs. Morrison shut her door, she wondered aloud, "I wonder if he really bought that I was blind; he's such a sweet turtle. I don't care what people say, he is not the aliens that invaded our home; but you know that don't you Lucy?"
"Meow," Lucy said happily. Mrs. Morrison giggled a bit and said, "I thought so." And she shut her door.
-New York City: The Vilton Hotel, Top Suite, Night-
Misters Touch and Go stood before their employer, Hun, as they presented the robe, cane and Nun-chucks.
"We are happy to report our success," said Mr. Go.
"Gentlemen, I am impressed," said Hun, "goddamn I am impressed."
"The pleasure was all ours sir," Mr. Touch replied.
"My master will be most pleased," said Hun as he gave them a briefcase full of money, "your payment for the rat, shellback and whiskered freak."
"For moi, you shouldn't have," said Mr. Go.
"Look Mr. Go it's green, my favorite color," said Mr. Touch as he inspected the money.
"Kill the rest of the turtles, and I'll triple it," said Hun. Just then there was a knock on the suite door.
"Hello," said a feminine voice, "room service."
"We placed no order," said Hun.
"Umm, yes you did," said a second feminine voice.
"Go away," Hun growled as he marched towards the door and opened it, "we placed no order-der-der-der," he stuttered and blushed bright red as he saw two busty blondes in very revealing Japanese Kimonos pushing a cart.
"Yes you did, you ordered a Happy Ending," they said sweetly with a nice smile to boot. Hun could only gaze at their appearance. The girls giggled before putting on smug smirks as they kicked and bashed Hun back into his suite with their legs and cart respectively. Hun, meanwhile, was sent flying into Mr. Go, causing the money in the briefcase to fly everywhere.
"Goddamn it," Hun muttered as one girl went poof and disappeared while the other went poof and turned into Naruto. Mr. Touch then went on the offensive, but he received a kick to the face courtesy of Mikey.
"I pity da fool who lays a hand on my brother," he said (making a reference to Mr. T).
Before Mr. Touch could retaliate, the suite was covered in a thick cloud of fire extinguishing Nitrogen, courtesy of Splinter who was spraying it from the ceiling above.
"Alright Touchy, be prepared for an ass whooping," said Mikey.
"What are you trying to pull? This fog will not protect you very long little one," said Mr. Touch as Mikey silently got his Nun-chucks and tapped the enemy on the shoulder from behind. As he turned around, he received a whack across the eye from said weapon.
"What's the matter," Mikey tauntingly asked, "can't hit what you can't see?"
Mr. Touch blindly and wildly threw punches, but to no avail.
"As a ninja," Mikey continued to taunt, "I don't have that problem. If you can't see me, then you can't see your little buddy either. And if you can't get to him, then you'll run out of juice."
Mr. Touch then inadvertently punched a support beam, but did very little damage to while doing a lot of damage to his hand.
"Gahh!" he cried out in pain. Then Mikey kicked him into Hun and Mr. Go, who were just getting up, which caused them all to fly out the window and fall to the ground.
"Thanks for the lovely party favor," Naruto called out as he put on his robe and grabbed the briefcase while Splinter got his cane.
"Come my sons," said Splinter as he heard sirens in the distance, "it is not safe here."
"You know sensei," said Mikey as they walked away from the fight scene, "this whole 'using your mind thing', it kicks ass! First I thought, 'Throw them in front of the train'. But then I thought, 'No, let them think they're throwing us in front of the train'."
He was about to list off a third example when Naruto smacked him upside the head.
"Ow!"
"Thank you Naruto."
"No problem."
-The Lair-
Leo came running in through the main entrance.
"Hey Don," he called out to his brother as he and Leatherhead were finishing up their work, "Has Raph been through here?"
"No, I don't think so," Don replied.
Leo smiled as he said, "Once again, I win."
Just then Raph came in through the pod doors.
"Jesus Raph," Leo joked, "I knew you were slow, but not this slow; what the hell happened."
Before Raph could reply, Mikey's voice rang out as the group of three entered the lair.
"Hey guys, you won't believe what happened!" Mikey exclaimed as he opened the briefcase and showed off the money, "we have a briefcase full of possibilities! A truckload of rare comics, twenty new televisions, 832 consecutive days of Pizza and Chinese Takeout!"
"Actually Mikey," said Raph with a smile, " I gotta better idea."
-Mrs. Morrison's back door, Night-
Raph knocked on the door and Mrs. Morrison answered.
"Hello, who's there?" she asked.
"Hey Mrs. M, it's me Raphael," Raph replied. He then held up the briefcase, opened it and said, "I found this case on your door step and it's full of money."
Mrs. Morrison gasped in awe and wonder. "Who could've done such a thing?" she asked.
"Know what I think?" Raph asked as Lucy rubbed up against his legs, "I think ya got a guardian angel who wants to see ya stay right where you belong."
-Oroku Saki's Headquarters-
Hun tried to walk into the building without anyone noticing. Unfortunately for him, Karai was waiting for him.
"It appears you have failed my master yet again," she said.
"And where have you been you little bitch," Hun retorted.
"Nowhere that concerns you," Karai shot back.
"Is that why you smell like Lilacs?" Hun asked as he sniffed the air.
"What I do is none of your concern. If you wish to find out, then you will have to earn back my master's trust for the next twenty years as I have," Karai said as she walked away to give the Shredder the update, leaving Hun to grind his teeth in anger.
"TWO MONTHS; YOU TOOK TWO MONTHS TO UPDATE BY ONE CHAPTER. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!"
Guys calm down, I did warn you that I would be starting college didn't I because I'm pretty sure I did. I started writing this chapter in August and I was about halfway through when I had to stop and readjust myself. Today, everything has calmed down and now I am back into rhythm with everything being straightened out.
But still, keep in mind that this is going to be an extremely long season that I have to adapt due to the number of episodes that have consequences, though I have had to cut out one episode because it is never addressed again.
Hope your enjoying your school year so far and please leave a review.
