"Alright,Cody,Spill,Where are We going?" Raph commanded,Wanting to Know,What They were doing,as Him and the Others followed Cody,Towards the Exit of the Lair.
"We're taking a Road Trip," Cody declared,Excitedly.
The Others looked at Each Other,In Confusion,Worried,For What They were getting Into.
Later,That Night.
The Turtles,Cody and Leatherhead were,All sitting,In the Party Wagon,Driving towards Cody's Idea's Destination,With Cody,In the Front,And,Driving.
Cody took a Hard Right,Onto a Street,as He drove,Towards the Needed Destination.
"Okay,Cody,You're starting to freak Me Out,Where are We going?" Donnie warned,as He asked the Same Question,Raph had,Not Trusting,Where This was going.
"Guys,Show a Little Trust," Leo requested.
"Yeah,We can trust Him,He Said,He had an Idea,Let's let Him show Us his Idea," Mikey added.
"Thanks,Mikey," Leo thanked.
"Your Welcome," Mikey replied.
"This doesn't mean,You're Off the Hook,For getting Punished,About What Happened,Back at the Warehouse," Leo reminded.
"Heh,Heh,I figured," Mikey stuttered as He chuckled,Sheepishly,Before,Stopping,And,Frowning,At the Realization.
"We're Here," Cody announced as He slammed his Foot,Down on the Brake,Making the Whole Party Wagon come to a Quick Stop.
"D-Dude,Take It easy on the Brake,Next Time," Mikey suggested as He moved his Head,Around,In a Dizzy-like Motion,Before,Lowering his Head to the Van Floor,And,Puking.
"You,Literally,Almost killed Us," Raph complained,Furiously.
"Pfft,When is That New?" April stated.
Cody Frowned,When He heard April say That.
The Turtles,April and Leatherhead got Out of the Party Wagon as They looked at Cody,Who was,Now,Smiling,Profusely.
Cody motioned,For Them to look,In Front of Them,as He jumped Up and Down,In Excitement.
"A Warehouse,Wow,Our New Ally is a Warehouse," Raph commented,Sarcastically.
"Ooh,Does It talk?" Mikey asked,Out of Curiosity.
"No,Of Course,It doesn't,It's a Warehouse," Cody informed.
"Then,Why bring Us Here?" Raph wondered,In an Annoyed Tone.
"Shell Brain,I think,It's,What's Inside the Warehouse," Donnie notified.
"Or,Who," Leatherhead corrected.
"Alright,Cody,What did you wanna show Us?" Leo questioned as He crossed his Arms,And,Looked at the Warehouse.
Cody cleared his Throat as He motioned for Them,To look Above.
"Gentlemen,And,Plastic Head," Cody called,as He talked in a Confident Voice.
April Growled,When She heard Cody say That.
"Meet Ash," Cody shouted as He gestured his Hands,To the Rooftop.
The Turtles,April and Leatherhead,All looked Up at the Rooftop as They,Now,Saw a Shadowy Figure Up There.
The Figure jumped Off the Rooftop,And,Onto the Ground,Landing on his Feet,as He showed Himself.
Revealing a Six Foot Tall Anthropomorphic Wolf wearing Green Cargo Pants and a Red Shirtless Vest,With a Bow and Arrow,Hanging on his Back.
"Sorry,I'm Late,I ran,Into a bit of Trouble," Ash,Humbly,Apologized as He crossed his Arms,And,Walked Over to Cody's Side.
"Oh,Well,Don't Worry about It,We got Here,A Little Late,As Well," Cody reassured as He stood There,With his Arms crossed,And,A Proud Smile on his Face,Before,Realizing,That,Ash was talking to Him.
"Wait,Another Mutant?" Leo responded,as He looked at the Tall Wolf,In Shock.
He didn't expect to see,Another Mutant.
"Wow,It looks like Mutagen is,Still,Out There," Donnie said as He looked at the Wolf,In Fascination.
"Oh,Great,More Mutants," Raph muttered,In Frustration.
"Whoa,He's,Almost as Tall as Donnie," Mikey noted.
"Hold Up,Guys,Ash isn't a Mutant,That's the Cool Part," Cody informed.
"Wait,What? Then,What is He?" Leo interrogated,Suspiciously,Wondering,What exactly,They'd be working With,as He gestured to Ash,When He asked,What He was.
"He's an Anthropomorphic Animal,Like,In,Those Anime Shows,You Guys watch," Cody explained.
"Uh,There's a Difference,Cody,Those are Furries,While,He's an Anthropo,Whatever You,Just Said," Leo warned,Firmly.
"Actually,Leo,Anthropomorphic Animals are Animals,That,Stand on Two Feet,And,Are Humanoid-like,And,Furries are Anthropomorphic Animals with Human attributes,They wear Clothes,And,Have Human Intelligence," Donnie corrected.
"Moving On," Raph demanded.
"Cool,A Real Life Furry," Mikey cheered as He ran,Up to Him,And,Hugged Him.
"Fascinating,He isn't a Mutant,And,Yet,He,Kind Of,Looks like One," Donnie whispered as He observed Ash,Closely.
"Let Me Guess,You're Donatello," Ash assumed as He leaned his Head Back,Away from Donnies,Trying to get Some Personal Space.
"Yeah,I am,How did You-?" Donnie answered,as He was,About to ask Him,How He knew his Name.
"Cody's,Told Me A Lot,About You Guys," Ash replied,Answering Donnie's,About to Ask Question.
"Oh," Donnie responded,Finding It,Kind Of,Obvious,Feeling Quite Dumb,For Not thinking of It.
"Yep,You guessed Right,That's Don,Mikey's the One,Hugging You," Cody eludicated.
"Yeah,I can see That,They're,Exactly,Like You've described,That One's Donatello,This One's Michaelangelo," Ash mumbled as He looked Down at Mikey,Seeing Him,Still There,Hugging Him,Before,Turning Back to Cody.
"Okay,Mike,That's Enough," Donnie ordered as He pulled Mikey,Off of Him.
"And,That is Leo,And,That One is Raph," Ash guessed,Saying Leo was Raph,And,Raph was Leo.
"Uh,It's the Other Way Around," Cody rectified.
"Oh,So,Raph and Leo," Ash rephrased as He,Then,Got Them Correct.
"Come On,We'll take You to the Lair,I have a Lot to tell You," Cody said as He grabbed Ash,By the Paw,And,Led Him towards the Party Wagon.
"And,We're,Just gonna be Okay with This," Leo pointed Out.
"Apparently," Raph commented,Silently,Agreeing with Leo,That,Taking Him to the Lair was a Bad Idea.
As for Donnie,Mikey,Leatherhead and April,They were All Okay with It.
It was,Pretty Much,Just Leo and Raph,Which wasn't much of a Shock.
Later.
Back at the Lair.
They were,All sitting Down,On the Couches,In Front of the TV,Except Ash,Who was Standing Up and Walking Around,While,He listened.
"So,Let Me get This Straight,A Cheese Grater Villain,That,You Guys killed in the Past,Has come Back from the Dead,And,Now,Suddenly,Has This Shadow Spirit Thing with Him," Ash explained,Attempting to sum It All Up.
"Well,The Thing isn't a Spirit,It's,Some Shadow Thing,That,Hides in People's Shadows," Cody informed.
"Who,Also,Has the Ability to insert a Parasite,Into your Body," Leatherhead continued.
"Not to mention,The Fact,That,It spreads,Like Wild Fire," April warned.
"Hmm," Ash murmured as He put his Finger,On his Chin,While,He tried to Think.
"A Real Mind Boggler,Isn't It?" Raph mentioned.
"Nah,I've been in Worse Situations," Ash disagreed,as He stated,Why,He said,'No,'
"Any Bright Ideas?" Donnie asked,Curiously.
"Ha," Leo shouted Out,Loudly,In Triumph as He shot Up,And,Looked at Ash with a Wicked Smile.
Raph,Donnie,Mikey,April,Leatherhead,Cody and Ash,All looked at Him,With Weirded Out Looks.
Leo chuckled,Slightly,as He sat,Right Back Down,And,Hid his Face.
"Ooh,Maybe,We could stop the Shadow with a Vacuum," Mikey guessed.
"Mikey,This isn't Ghostbusters," Donnie retorted.
"Where would We get the Vacuums,My Friend?" Leatherhead questioned,In Confusion.
"Uh,From Mr. O Neil?" Mikey brought Up,as He threw Up his Hands,Emphasizing,That,He didn't know Anything Else.
"How about We do a Sneak Attack on Them," April suggested.
"Are you Kidding,We tried That,Last Time," Raph lashed Out,Angrily,Hating Her Idea,Completely.
"Hey,At Least,It's Something," April shot Back.
"Yeah,Something,We already tried Before," Raph repeated,Trying to get Her to Understand.
Just Then.
Leo's Phone rang.
As They All heard It,They All turned to Leo,With Anger,On Their Faces.
"Wow,That is Embarrassing," Leo muttered to Himself,as He took his Phone Out,And,Picked Up the Phone.
"I wonder,Who It is," MIkey mumbled to Leatherhead.
Leatherhead shrugged,Confusingly,Also,Not Knowing,Who It was.
"Hello,Yes,This is Leonardo," Leo announced as He held the Phone to his Ear.
Even Raph and April had stopped Fighting to look at Him.
"Bishop!! Wait,What? What do you mean? Seriously,Yeah,I'll tell Them,Yeah,I will,Alright,Bye," Leo said as He listened to Bishop,Before,Replying to Everything,That,Bishop had Said.
Leo hung Up as He sighed,Disappointedly.
"Why was Bishop calling?" April wondered.
"He was warning Us,About Something," Leo replied.
"And,What was That?" Ash questioned.
"Shredder and the Shadow Thing have Disappeared,From the City,EPF can't find Them." Leo answered,In a Disappointed Tone.
Once the Others heard That,They All Gasped,In Unison,Finding It,Quite Surprising,That,Shredder had Hidden,Instead of Fighting Them.
Only One Question Remained,Now.
What would They do?
