To the guest who made all the suggestions, thank you! I actually don't intend to give Donatella a crush because romance is not my forte plus it's also my least favorite genre. Romance for me is very boring. I do intend for her and April to become fast friends because they are both girls but I also intend to make Donna and Angel friends since they are about the same age. Also, please note the rating, it's K+. I don't intend to make it uncomfortable for myself since I am a girl myself. I have a plan for each episode and when I create my own episode, I will add a description at the end of the chapter.
It's a quiet rainy night in New York City. The rainwater on the streets is going into the sewers. It seemed to be quiet in the sewers until the same small robots that destroyed the turtles home returned.
Donna: They may not look like much but this tin toy can chop his way through steel and concrete like Michelangelo through a pizza.
Donna, Leo, Raph, and Mikey were running through the sewers chasing after one of the robots.
A bunch of these mouser robots saw fit to trash our old lair and nearly turned our sensei into robo-chow.
The turtles stopped after they heard a woman's scream. Donna pointed to where the scream came from and they followed it. A woman with red hair, a short purple shirt, and brown jeans was surrounded by four mousers at a dead end in the sewers.
I look at these incredible machines and the techno-geek in me can't help thinking awesome.
A mouser was about to attack the woman but turned when it felt the presence of the turtles.
But the kunoichi in me can't help thinking payback.
Back in the sewers, Mikey was setting up many televisions so he could watch TV and Master Splinter was observing him. "What's the matter, Mikey?" Donna asked from above as she was welding a pipe. "Can't decide what to watch?" She said as she stopped her welding and used the rope that was suspending her to slowly go down to the ground. "I need more power, captain. The Turtle Cave must be set for maximum entertainment potential," Mikey said as he plugged the TVs but in doing so, he caused a power outage throughout all of New York.
When Mikey turned on the TVs the sound became extremely loud and he quickly turned them off. Mikey groaned sadly since the TVs would take longer to work then he would like. Splinter was currently on the couch making a new dummy for his sons and daughter to work out with. Donna scoffed. "The Turtle Cave? Mikey, the name is so lame. Sounds like something from the 80s," She told him. "What would you call our new place? The Shell-ter?" Mikey asked. Donna rolled her eyes and thought to herself for a moment. "Hmm. How about The Sewer of Solitude?"
"Terrapin station?" Mikey suggested. "The School for Gifted Reptiles?" Donna suggested. Mikey snapped his finger when he thought of another one. "The Hall of Nin-Justice!" Splinter stopping sewing and cleared his throat to get the attention of his son and daughter. They both looked at their master as he stood up from the couch. "We will call this place... home." Donna and Mikey smiled at the name. "Hmm. Catchy," Mikey said as Donna nodded in agreement. "Now, what is keeping Leonardo and Raphael?" Splinter asked as Donna went to her makeshift lab and Mikey went back to fixing the TVs. "They just went to get the last of our stuff from the old lair," Mikey answered.
"And with the way the new Sewer Slider is performing. They should be back any minute now," Donna said as she used a screwdriver to mess with a mouser foot but it sparked a little. 'Hopefully, the boys don't scratch it up. Took me weeks to make it work just right.'
Back at the Turtles' old lair, Leo and Raph were in their old home getting anything that was salvageable. They were almost done. All Leo needed to get was a broken glass tube with the letters TCRI on it. "Our home, for 15 years, and this is all that's left," Leo said as he tightened the last of their things with a rope to the Sewer Slider. "When I find out who built those home-wreaking robo-roaches..." Raph said then he punched one of the support beams but in doing so, the ceiling shook again but luckily nothing fell. "Raph, come on. Let's not trash this place any more than it already is," Leo said then he and Raph got into the Sewer Slider that Donna made for them.
Raph started the Sewer Slider up and started to drive but as soon as they got a bit faster, it turned into a flying car. "Now, remember, Donna said that the accelerator hasn't been calibrated yet. So, take it nice and..." Instead of listening to Leo, Raph turned on the accelerator and they went faster. Raph even cheered at how fast they were going. Leo had a hard time hanging on but managed eventually. "I'd call this a successful field test eh, Leo?" Raph asked. Now they both were cheering excitedly as they rode the Sewer Slider.
In the turtles' new lair, Donna was working on the mouser robot. Splinter walked over to his daughter as she was working on it. "Even though it is inactive, that thing still makes me uneasy, Donatella," Splinter said as he looked at the robot that attacked him over a week ago. "This is state of the art robotics, sensei. Brilliant work. Makes me wish they sold this stuff in the mall so I could salvage it later in the dump or that they were nice robotic pets for me to keep. I just have to find out what makes these little guys tick," Donna said as she looked at Splinter for a brief moment then back the mouser on her desk.
Splinter was about to say something but a light caught his attention. It was Leo and Raph returning from the old lair with their things. Raph slowly landed the Sewer Slider and once it landed Leo jumped out with a box in his hand. "Good news, Mikey. Your DVD collection survived," Leo said as he spun the box on his finger them threw the box to Mikey which he caught with one hand. "Awesome! Let's throw in something light on story and heavy on gory," Mikey said as he prepared the TVs to watch a movie. Meanwhile, Donna walked over to Leo and asked, "Leo, did you get what I asked?" Leo nodded and he reached in Sewer Slider and pulled out a stuffed animal fox. "Here's Rook. Don't know how he survived though." Donna grabbed the toy fox, went back to her workstation, and put the red fox in the corner of her desk. "I don't know either but I'm glad he did." Rook was Donna's favorite stuffed animal, her only one but still her favorite.
Once the TVs were ready, Mikey turned them one and a live news report was on and it was talking about Stocktronics Incorporated. Mikey yawned in boredom. "Boring!" Mikey was about to change but Donna stopped him. "Hold up, Mikey. I want to watch this," Donna told him. "Founder and CEO, Dr. Baxter Stockman was on hand to unveil his latest innovation."
"A wise man once said, 'Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.' I say, let the path beating begin," Stockman said as he cleaned his glasses and put them back on. "For I, Dr. Baxter Stockman, have designed the solution to the city's ever-growing rat problem. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ultimate expression of rat terminating technology, the StockTronic Mouser," Stockman lifted the cloth to reveal the same robots that attacked the turtles old home. All the turtles gasped at the sight.
"I can't believe that the famous Baxter Stockman would try to pass off these killer robots as a good thing," Donna said as she held up the mouser head in her hand. Mikey grabbed the mouser head from Donna to get a good look at it. "And what's up with those glasses?" Mikey took the robot's head and used it like it was a puppet to mock Stockman, "Nerd city!"
Raph growled and used his sai to break one of the TVs. "I say, we head over to StockTronics and kick some serious shell." Raph was about to leave the lair and go up to the surface but Splinter stopped him. "Absolutely not!" Splinter whacked Raph on the head with his walking stick. Raph groaned in pain as he rubbed his head. "Your last venture to the surface was a disaster. "You cannot afford to be seen by more humans."
The TV was still as Baxter was still showing off his latest invention. "My lab assistant, Miss April O'Neil, will release several rats into the simulation chamber. April... proceed, my dear." April walked over to the rat maze and release many rats in the maze. Stockman released his mouser and said, "Now observe the sheer genius of my mouser in action." The mouser then started to chase the rats in the maze and the turtles watched as each rat was killed by the mouser. Each winced as the rats were killed. "I sure hate to be a rat in this town," Mikey said out loud. The turtles all looked at Mikey as soon as he finished his sentence. Mikey looked at Splinter and said, "Oh, sorry Sensei."
"And the mousers search and retrieval functions are all ingeniously controlled by a remote mother computer..." April pointed to the news report showing that she and Stockman were on. "This is so great. My friends, my family will finally see that I really do work with 'the' Baxter Stockman," April said happily. "You flatter me, Miss O'Neil. I like that." A beeping on the computer April was checking took Stockman out of his thoughts.
"That's strange. I was running a routine diagnostic check half the mouser prototypes aren't even transmitting. It's like they just vanished," April said confused. 'How can some of the mousers be missing? It doesn't make any sense.'
Stockman was now nervous but knew he could trick April into thinking that nothing was wrong. Stockman coughed. "I'm sure it's nothing April. Probably just a computer glitch but I'll have a systems tech go over it in the morning."
"What if the mousers have been tampered with? We should go over all their transmission backups," April said as she typed away on the computer hoping to find out what happened to the mousers. "That won't be necessary, April," Stockman said forcefully. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I am expecting an important call from a very significant financial backer." This made April very suspicious. 'Something odd is going on and I'm going to find out. Whether Dr. Stockman likes it or not.'
The turtles were currently training with Splinter in their new dojo. They were waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack Splinter. Donna went first, she spun her bö staff, jumped in the air, and attacked Splinter who easily defending her attack. Splinter then moved to the side and kicked her in the back. She groaned in pain as she was kicked towards the step. "Do not lean with your shoulders, Donatella." Leo jumped in the air to attack Splinter with his swords but Splinter quickly defeated him by using his walking stick to push him back. "Faster on your counter-attack, Leonardo." Mikey was next. He tried to get Splinter with his nunchucks but Splinter easily tripped him. "Mind your footwork, Michelangelo." Raph attacked Splinter but noticed something was off about his second oldest son. "You are distracted, Raphael. You must learn to focus your attacks," Splinter told him.
Raph groaned indicating that he was frustrated. Splinter started to walk away as Raph chased him somewhat. "I'd like to focus my attacks on that Stockman guy. Why can't we just go topside and show him a little mean and green?" Raph asked. "Because I forbid it." Raph groaned frustratedly. Splinter then walked away and headed to bed. "We will resume your training in the morning."
Mikey laughed a little. "We will resume your training in the morning," Mikey said imitating Master Splinter. "I heard that."
Donna smiled as she looked at her little brother. "You just got busted, little bro." Leo and Donna laughed but Raph still wanted revenge. "I'd like to bust a few heads," Raph said as he cracked his knuckles. "Chill bro. We don't need no stinking surface world. We got late movies, top 10 video countdown, BMX sports highlights, some really weird Korean language soap opera," Mikey said as he walked to the TV area, jumped on the couch, and turned on the TV.
Donna walked over to her makeshift lab, put on a pair of goggles, and turn on a blowtorch "Or you boys could give me a hand with these Mouser parts? If I can get one working we can trace it back to its source and find out what Stockman is really using them for." Raph yawned and stretched. "Nah. I'm beat. I'm gonna rack," Raph said then he went to bed. Leo looked at Raph suspiciously. "Since when does Raph turn in so early?"
Later that night, Stockman was in his office talking to his financial backer. "The mousers will be ready when I decided they're ready. Our first field test was..." But before Stockman could finish his sentence his financial backer interrupted him. "Was a complete failure. I do not tolerate failure."
"Which is why you'd make a lousy scientist. The test was supposed to expose any possible design flaws. As a result, I've already upgraded the mousers for greater durability and I assure you, they will perform flawlessly for the next flawlessly for the next phase of the plan," Stockman told him. "They had better Dr. Stockman, for your sake." As they were talking April listened in through the door and she gasped as she listened in.
Back in the lair, Mikey had fallen asleep on the couch but in the shadows, Raph was planning on sneaking away to get revenge on Stockman. Raph was about to leave but he was caught by Leo. "Midnight stroll?" Leo asked. "Out of my way, Leo," Raph told him. "Master Splinter said we stay put." Raph got into a fighting stance. "Look, I'll go through you if I have to," Raph told him. "I'd like to see you try, hothead," Leo said as he got into a fighting stance. "Careful what you wish for, Splinter Junior!" Raph jumped on Leo and the two started to roll around on the floor and fought each other till a mouser ran past them along with Donna and Mikey. "Boys, quit wrestling and follow us! I got one working!" Donna told her brothers. "Come on, he's faster than he looks!" Mikey shouted as he and Donna left them in the dust.
"So, you're just gonna let that Mouser roam free along with our little brother and sister?" Leo knew he lost this fight, for now. "Master Splinter is so going to kill us," Leo said as he got up, started to run but he turned to Raph and said, "You coming or what?" Leo asked then he ran off. "If you insist," Raph said sarcastically as he stood up and started to chase the mouser with Donna and Mikey.
April was on the computer at StockTronics waiting to activate her plan. Stockman left his lab and saw April working on the computer. "Good night, April dear. Try not to work too late. You know I don't like to pay overtime," Stockman said as April turned her seat to face him. "Good night, Dr. Stockman." Now that Stockman has left the building, April took this opportunity to sneak into his office to find out what really happened to the mousers.
She sat at his desk to find what his true plans were. "Now... let's find out what kind of plan you've been cooking up with those mousers, Dr. Stockman..." April typed away on the computer for a few minutes until she found a weird symbol. It looked like a three-toed red foot. "Never seen that icon before," April said to herself then she clicked on it and gasped at what she saw. "What is..." The bookshelf opened revealing an elevator which shocked her. 'I've been in here over a thousand times. How have I never noticed this?'
The mouser ran across a pipe in the sewers and the turtles were chasing it. "Watch your step here, guys. Don't want to end up turtle soup," Leo told his stopped, looked up the wall, and started to climb it. The turtles got to the wall and looked up at the mouser climbing the wall. "Resourceful little critter," Donna said a little frustrated. "So what do we do now?" Raph asked. "Master Splinter always said, 'A ninja is always prepared,'" Leo said as he put on a gauntlet with three sharp claws on them. "I thought that was the boy scouts," Mikey said trying to be funny.
April walked over the revealed elevator. She had a bad feeling but she ignored it, walked into the elevator, and pushed a button to get to the bottom floor. The elevator mover quickly to the bottom floor. 'What have I gotten myself into?'
The turtles were slowly climbing up the wall so they could keep up with the mouser. Mikey groaned. "Let's leave the wall-crawling to the dude in the red and blue tights." Leo rolled his eyes. "You read way too many comic books." The mouser walked into the nearest pipe and started to run again. Once the turtles got up in the pipe, they started to chase after the mouser again. "Just curious, Donna, what's to stop old turbo-jaws from munching up another 6.3 on the Richter scale?" Mikey asked. "Don't worry, Mikey. I shut down its jaw servos. It couldn't chew through a stick of gum," Donna said confidently.
The mouser stopped running and started to chew through some pipes just like it did back in the turtles old lair. "You were saying?" Raph asked. "But I... I'm sure I shut it down..." Donna told him. Mikey sighed as he put a comforting hand on Donna's shoulder. "Dee's finally lost her techno mojo. Sad, really." Donna slapped Mikey upside the head after he said that. "OW!" She thought to herself for a minute. "It must have some kind of security override routine. Come on, boys!" They were about to enter the hole in the wall but Donna stopped them when she noticed some wrong. "Oh, no!"
"What is it, Donna?" Leo asked worriedly. "If I'm not mistaken, that's a serious water main hanging right over our heads," Donna told them. "So?" Raph asked not following. "So our little mouser friend just ate through the pipe's support!"
"Incoming!" Leo shouted as the pipe broke dousing them all with water. The current pushed them through the sewers until Donna used her bo staff to catch herself on a pipe. "Guys, grab on!" They all successfully grabbed on with Leo hanging on Donna's feet, Raph on Leo's feet, and Mikey on Raph's feet. "OW! Watch where you point those Shuko spikes, Mike!" Raph shouted. "Keep your shell on, Raph. I got an idea!" Mikey shouted as he started to swing his brothers and sister back and forth. "Mike, wait! What are you..." Before Leo could finish his question, Mikey jumped through a waterfall and the others fell through with him. They managed to catch the wall with their Shuko spikes. "Guys, you okay?" Donna asked. Raph spit some water out of his mouth and said, "Peachy."
April made it down to the final floor of the secret elevator she found in Dr. Stockman's office. She was both curious and nervous about what she was going to see. "Finally," She said. She got out of the elevator and saw an army of mousers. There seemed to be hundreds of them. "I don't care how bad the cities rat problem is. This is serious overkill." April decided to do more exploring but she unknowingly set off a silent alarm in the secret lab.
The turtles were still searching for their missing mouser robot. "When I get my hands on that metal menace, I'm gonna grind him into little bot burgers!" Raph said as he and the other turtles took off their Shuko spikes. "Calm down, Raph. We have to keep him in one piece," Donna told him. "What makes you think we're going find blender butt?" Mikey asked. "I think he left us a few clues," Leo said as he pointed to a chewed up hole in the wall.
April was currently typing away on the main computer in the secret lab. "Rat problem my eye. What are you really up to, Stockman?" April was so distracted she didn't even notice Stockman come in till he spoke up. "Now now, Ms. O'neil, that would be telling." April backed up because she knew that she was in trouble. "Suffice it to say, my army of mousers will make me a very rich and powerful man."
"But aren't you already a rich and powerful man?" April asked confused. "Ahh, Ms. O'Neil, so brilliant yet so naive. I will truly miss working with you," Stockman said casually. "What?! You mean I'm fired?!" April said shocked. "In a manner..." Stockman pushed a button behind his back and this action summoned a claw that grabbed April and dropped her on the ground in the army of mousers. "I'm afraid I can't let you live, Ms. O'Neil. You've seen far too much already and... well let's just say, I have trust issues," Stockman said as he typed away on his computer and he ordered the mousers to attack April.
One by one, the turtles got walked out of the hole in the wall still in search of their rouge mouser which led them to the train tracks near the sewer system. They looked around until Donna spotted the mouser. "Guys, over there!" She pointed at the mouser which was across the train tracks. They were about to cross the train tracks but Leo grabbed Raph because he spotted a train coming. When the train passed them, the mouser was gone. "Whoa! Robo-Houdini!" Mikey said. "Wrong! Robo-hitchhiker!" Leo said as they all saw the mouser clinging to the railing on the back of the train. "We'll never catch him now!" Mikey shouted. "Two can play at that game," Raph said as he got his sais out and as the next train came by, he jumped on it and clung to the roof with his sais. "What a maniac!" Leo said in shock. "Yeah, and that maniac better wait for us," Donna said as she and her brothers jumped on the roof of the train with their brother.
They rode the train until the mouser jumped off and made a new hole in the wall which the turtles promptly followed.
April knew that she was in danger so she looked around and once she saw a fire extinguisher and she grabbed it. "Keep back. I know how to use this," She said all while trying to not freak out and just before a mouser attacked her, she sprayed it with the liquid carbon dioxide but it did nothing. 'Oh, great! Now what?' April then used the fire extinguisher to smash the mouser's head. "HA!" She felt proud of herself for just a few seconds because the rest of the mousers came charging at her. One of the mousers grabbed the fire extinguisher and it blew up leaving a large fog where no one could see anything. April used this opportunity to escape into the sewers. "You can run, Ms. O'Neil but you can't hide from my mousers."
'I have to get out of here. The mousers will find me if I can't get out!' April thought to herself as she ran through the sewers. She had no idea how to even get out since she had never been in the sewers before. "Which way out? Which way out?!" April asked herself since she was surrounded by many tunnels that led to different parts of the sewers. April then chose an opposite direction of the tunnel she exited from and prayed that she was going the right way. Hundreds of mousers followed in pursuit to do what they were programmed to do.
The turtles were still in pursuit of their lone mouser to find Stockman's lab and stop him. When the turtles entered another part of the sewers, Mikey noticed another mouser besides the one they were following. "Whoa! Who invited him?" Mikey asked then the mouser roared at them but before it could do anything Raph threw a blade at it. "I got it!" This attack seemed to work and Mikey and Raph high-three each other but suddenly the mouser got up as nothing had happened. "This is not good guys," Leo told them. "And things just got worse! The things are a lot tougher than the last batch," Donna told her brothers. The turtles got into a battle stance, ready to fight the new tougher mousers. "Yeah, and there's a lot more of them too," Raph said as all of there were surrounded by hundreds of mousers.
"Great... just great," Raph complained. One by one, each turtle jumped into the air and attacked the mousers. The mousers attacks but the turtles dodged each attack and destroy each mouser. "These mousers are amazing! The servo-mechanics, the circuitry, the articulation!" Donna said as she was fighting some of the mousers. "Geez, Donna, why don't you just marry one already?" Raph retorted. Donna looked at her brother and growled in frustration, sometimes her brothers could be so annoying. "Heh. If I tried, Master Splinter would destroy it first." Leo was slicing and dicing each mouser as they were coming at him. "Guys, the only way to stop them is to slice their heads off," Leo told them. "Ain't that great news... for the turtles with the blades," Mikey said as he smashed a mouser head. "Well, drive 'em this way!" Raph told them.
Together, Donna and Mikey used their weapons to hit the mousers like baseballs to their older brothers and they used their weapons to cut the heads off of the mousers. After a few minutes of them destroying the mousers, they were surrounded by hundreds of destroyed mouser parts. "Great job, boys. Now, please leave one..." But before Donna could finish her sentence, Raph destroyed the last standing mouser. "Intact..." Donna sighed internally in her head. 'Boys...'
"So much for tracing them back to the source..." Leo said as he put his katanas away.
April was still running from the mousers. It seemed like they knew where she was going to be before she did. 'I have to get out of here and get help!' April kept running and she eventually looked behind her but stopped in her track when she looked in front of her. Two mousers had successfully found her, but April ran the other way until she ran into two more mousers so she ran into the tunnel to her right to escape the mousers.
April kept running until she tripped. April kept backing up but she ran into a dead end. She tried removing the board blocking the exit but she was unable to. Now, April was fearful for her life. 'This is it. I'm going to die.' April screamed loudly in fear.
Suddenly, April heard sounds of fighting and metal being destroyed. April closed her eyes at first but when she opened them, she saw four destroyed mousers and four shadows of people with weapons. April sighed with relief and gratitude of the people that saved her life. "Thank you. Thank you so much! You saved my life." Mikey then came out of the shadows like it was nothing. "Hey! How you going?" Mikey asked casually. After seeing a mutant turtle, this caused April to faint on the spot. Mikey picked her up and held her bridal style "Hey, so... can I keep her?" Mikey asked with his brothers and sister looking at him annoyed. 'One thing is for sure, Master Splinter is not going to be happy about this at all.' Donna thought to herself.
This took me so long. It's so cold here in Texas, it's in the mid-forties in the middle of October. I know this happens in other parts of the world but not Texas. It feels like the middle of December. It's also very rainy here. Hope Y'all enjoy this chapter! Don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please! See Y'all next time!
