I really want to say this for the last time but I do not intend to give Donna a love interest or a crush. However, I never said that others won't be interested in her. I'm not revealing who or what but I do promise that others will annoy her with that kind of thing anyway. Next chapter, away!

Raph woke up strapped to an examination table and with no memory of how he got there.

Ever see one of those old movies where the private eye wakes up after being knocked out cold. He always says the same thing.

Raph shook his head, groaned, then said, "Where am I?" Then he tried to get out but he wasn't able to.

Okay, it's not exactly original but it's true. I have no idea where I am.

Unknowingly to Raph, he was being watched by an unknown man.

Is this an operating room? Torture chamber? TV game show?

Since he couldn't escape, he decided to use this opportunity to look at his surroundings.

Last thing I remember, I was bappin' a bunch of street thugs with Casey.

Raph suddenly realized something and it wasn't good. "Hey, where is Casey?" A bright light shined on Raph's face, causing him to cover his eyes.

Okay... definitely not the game show...

Raph then saw a buzz saw and two needles headed for his face.

A Japanese man is seen meditating as Hun talking about the mysterious creatures that Baxter Stockman fought in his old lab. "Gecko warriors? Karate frogs? Turtle costume freaks," Hun said as he crushed the thermal image paper in his hands. From behind, Stockman laughed as he approached. Stockman now had an eye patch on his left eye along with three scars. "Is this a field report or a fantasy novel?"

The paper was smacked out his hands with the angry Japanese shouting in anger, "Fool! Was it fantasy that destroyed your mouser robots, Dr. Stockman?!" Stockman fell to the ground as Hun smirked but the Japanese man stopped it quickly when he inhumanly ran in front of him. "Was it fantasy that took back the Sword of Tengu from your foot soldiers?!" Hun backed up in fear then the man walked past the two as he said, "These... green skinned ninjas are too skilled to be mere street thugs."

Hun suggested, "Maybe they're working for your old enemies?" Stockman stood up and picked up the paper then suggested, "Ugh! More likely a top secret government experiment." The man rushed to Stockman and picked him up by the collar of his shirt causing him to drop the papers. "I am not interested in theories!" The man threw Stockman to the ground hard in anger.

"I want answers." He sat down behind his small and told the two, "You two will work together. Find these creatures, learn their secrets, destroy them if necessary."

Down in the sewers, Splinter was getting ready for the turtles next training session. He lit a candle along with several other candles while balancing on a bamboo stick with the other turtles struggling to balance on bamboo sticks with many more sticks by them. "My children, tonight's training shall focus on combining two essential disciplines: the way of balance..." Splinter clapped his hands and all the candles went out leaving the five in darkness. "...and the way of invisibility."

The turtle went to their knees to get a better balance on the bamboo stick. "Dude, you put in the clapper?" Mikey asked his sister impressed. Meanwhile, Splinter was skillfully jumping from stick to stick then he used his walking stick to hit Mikey in the hand. "Michelangelo, the way of invisibility also includes the way of silence. I suggest you employ both of you wish to avoid my walking stick."

Splinter skillfully jumped from bamboo to bamboo and attacked Leo but he dodged the attack and he nearly did the splits on two bamboo sticks. Donna jumped in the air to kick Splinter but he dodged her attack. Donna landed on a bamboo stick and was able to keep her balance. 'Drat. Have to get quieter.'

Raph was next. He ran on the sticks to kick Splinter but also dodged his attack. Mikey was next, he did a few flips and landed on a stick behind Splinter but he decided to cheat. He clapped his hands causing the candles to light up. "Peek-a-boo, I see you!" Splinter swung his stick at Mikey but he caught it. This action caused him to lose balance and fall but he caught the stick just moments before he hit the ground. "Hey! Don't I at least get points for creativity?"

"A creative mind must be balanced by a disciplined body. We must learn stillness and alertness, for they are the only defense against the unexpected," Splinter told him as he turned off the candle lights.

While Splinter was talking, the doors to the elevator opened revealing Casey entering the lair. He walked in the darkness a bit confused. "Hey, guys." Casey then unknowingly walked backward into the bamboo sticks knocking them all down to the floor along with the turtles and Splinter. "Uh-oh."

The turtles rubbed their heads in pain but Splinter got up and started to attack Casey but luckily the turtles stopped him before he could hurt Casey too badly. "Master Splinter, no!" Leo shouted as he and the others ran towards him and Casey. "He's okay," Leo told him to reassure him. "Sensei, this is Casey, the nutcase... uh... the guy we told you about," Donna told him hoping that he wouldn't hurt him even if Casey annoyed her to a tee. "You remember, the igilante-vay," Mikey told him. "We figured it'd be okay to give him access to the lair... you know for emergencies and stuff," Raph told him.

Splinter removed his walking stick from Casey's throat and bowed at him. "Please forgive my rash action." Raph and Leo helped Casey off the floor. "No problemo," Casey said as he took off his mask then Splinter gave him a small warning by sticking the end of his stick near his face. "Although next time, you'd be wise to heed the ancient Japanese proverb, phone first." Then Splinter walked away to picked up the bamboo sticks with an annoyed look on his face.

Raph gave Casey a thumbs-up and Casey now got a better look of the lair. "Whoa, Raph, your cribs even more awesome then you said." Casey unknowingly kicked a bamboo stick and just shook his head. Casey walked over to Donna's lab and the turtles ran to him to see why he came. "You didn't come all the way down here for the nickel tour. What's the 411 street side?" Raph asked.

"Graffiti. It's everywhere. All over town," Casey said as he walked past the turtles a bit. The turtles looked at each other then back at Casey like he was crazy. "And I speak for everyone in the room when I say... duh!" Mikey told him. "Casey, we're New Yorkers. Graffiti is common in major cities like this. Besides, we've seen it before, even here in the sewers," Donna told him.

Casey pulled out a picture and showed the turtles the graffiti that he saw. "Na-uh. Not this kind." He showed the turtles a picture of graffiti that was red with the Sword of Tengu and four turtles being skewered by it. They all grimaced at the sight of it. "I think someone is trying to send you a message."

"Blech! Talk about getting the point," Mikey said. "Do all the tags look like this?" Leo asked hiding the worry in his voice. 'I hope they didn't forget the fact that one turtle is a girl.' Donna thought to herself. "Some are a little more graphic."

Casey then noticed the Sword of Tengu. "Hey. Cool sword. Looks just like the one from the graffiti." Casey walked over the sword and tried to pick it up. "Casey, STOP!" Casey was shocked by the sword and through back hard into a bookshelf, knocking off several books to the ground. "Remind boys, whose idea was it to invite him down here? Because I know it wasn't mine," Donna said to Raph. Leo walked towards Casey then the others followed and helped him up. Splinter began to lead him out since he was already tired of dealing with four teenagers and didn't want to deal with another one, even though Casey is an adult. "I thank you for this information, Mr. Jones. But now, we must return to our training." Casey forced Splinter to let him and asked the turtles confused, "Wait, don't you guys want to put the smack down on the scums who did this?"

Casey had taken out the photos of the graffiti and Mikey took the photos and told him, "Well... yeah. But it smells way too much like a setup." Donna put her finger to her chin and told him, "I agree. Someone is just trying to get under our shells. Besides, why should we stoop to their level?" Casey got a baseball bat out and tried to convince the turtles once again. "But this is a matter of honor?! What about all this bushidodo stuff you guys always talk about?" Casey asked as he hit the bat against his hand. "That's Bushido, and that has nothing to do with a bunch of wall doodles," Leo told him. "Sorry, Case. I gotta go with my bros and sis on this one," Raph told him.

"Man," Casey said clearly upset but then he saw the many TVs and a comfy couch and chair. "Hey..." Leo pointed at Casey and Donna just shrugged. 'If he stays the night then he better stay out of my room.' Casey just popped a squat on the couch, turned on the TV, and ate a slice of pizza as the turtles watched him pondering on why he's doing what he's doing.

Back with Stockman and Hun with their master, Stockman was explaining how he was going to capture one of the turtles. "While your oversized lacky wastes time with the pointless scribbles of street thugs, I have created something useful to intercept your amphibious pests." He gestured to the back of the room. "I give you the foot tech ninjas." He revealed two men wearing blue and dark gray uniforms with a red foot symbol on their chests and orange eye sockets.

They bowed in respect then jumped in the air and began to battle each other as Stockman said, "My brilliantly designed battle armor enhances their physical abilities giving them increased strength, speed, and stealth." As one foot tech ninja was about to kick the other, one pressed the symbol on his chest and he turned invisible. The invisible ninja attacked the other ninja then he hit the invisible ninja causing him to crash into the torch. "And all thanks to the technology I was able to glean from a tiny sample of this... unusual artifact you dragged up from the East River. If you had any sense, you'd allow me to study the entire thing," Stockman said boastfully indicating that his master was stupid.

In annoyance, Hun grabbed Stockman by the scruff of his lab coat and brought him over to his master. "First things first, Mr. Stockman, bring me the creatures." Stockman was finally able to make Hun release then he said, "Just keep this behemoth out of my way and my foot tech ninjas will deliver the goods. I guarantee it." The man stood up and told him as he walked over to him, "You have already paid the price for failing me once. Do not fail me a second time." Stockman put his hand close to the eye that he lost, remembering the pain that came with it. 'Believe me you idiot. I won't fail.'

Down in the sewers, Mikey was about to grab the last slice of pizza but Casey grabbed it just seconds before Mikey could get it. Casey stood up to stretch then sat back down on the couch and looked through the many DVD's that the turtles owned. Leo then turned off the TV and did an exaggerated yawn. "Whew... sure is getting uh... late."

"These the only DVD's you got?" Casey asked as he took out two of them, ignoring Leo's statement. Now with an idea, Mikey got out of his chair and told Casey, "Yeah... in fact, why don't you borrow some and bring them back?" Mikey tried to hand Casey the box of DVD's but Casey didn't take them and decided to watch it somewhere else. "That's okay. I'll just watch them here." Casey walked over to the computer and tried to get the DVD player to work but was struggling. "Come on, eject, eject. You useless piece of..." Casey used his foot to kick the DVD player but he broke it causing Leo and Mikey to flinch. Mikey screamed in fear. 'Donna is not going to be happy.' Leo thought to himself.

"Uh... think your player's broken." Donna took a deep breath. "Uh... no problem. I'll fix it. In the morning!" Donna told him trying to patient with Casey. 'Why won't Casey just go home?' Donna thought to herself. Then Donna's fear came true, "What ya working on?" Casey asked as he walked over to Donna working on a small project. She quickly covered the project and told him, "Uh... boring stuff. Really, really, boring stuff." Then Casey saw Rook, her red fox, stuffed animal. "Dude, why do you have this stuffed animal? Isn't this kind of stuff for girls?" Mikey and Leo face-palmed themselves. Donna stood up and took Rook from his hands. "Casey, for the last time, I am a girl. Get that through your thick skull!" Then Donna took her project and Rook and went to her room.

Noticing that Raph was punching a punching bag, Casey thought this was a perfect time to wrestle. "Hey, Raph, let's wrestle!" Casey tackled Raph and the two started to wrestle. "Let go, bonehead!" Raph told him as they knocked down a candlestick. Splinter shook his head in annoyance and the other turtles just watched. Even Donna who had returned from her room after her burst with Casey. "No way, dipstick!" Casey told him.

"Puke brain!"

"Geek!"

"Dweeb!"

"Dork!" Having enough of Casey, Splinter stopped the fight between the two. "Raphael." Splinter sighed hoping that he wouldn't regret his decision. "Normally, I discourage excursions to the surface but I think it wise for you to take our guest for a breath of fresh air." The other turtles joined Splinter by his side as he was talking then Raph stood up and said, "Topside? I'm all over it!" Casey stood up as well and said in a loud voice, "BOOYA!" The two left, continuing their insults to each other.

"Come on, you maniac!"

"Maniac? Who you calling a maniac?"

"And that's how they defeated, The Thing That Wouldn't Leave," Mikey said in a voice used in a cheesy horror movie. 'Good. If Casey stayed the night, then he would stay as far from my room as possible.'

On the surface, Raph and Casey were continuing their back and forth banter of insults as they were running on the rooftops.

"Nimrod!"

"Lightweight!"

"Gack-face!"

Casey stopped when he heard a familiar sound. "Spray paint?" Now Raph was confused. "Spray paint? What kind of lame trash talk is that?" Raph asked confused. "No, listen." Casey gestured for Raph to follow him. They followed the sound of spray paint when they found three guys spray painting a purple dragon and four turtles getting eaten it.

Raph and Casey jumped down to the ground, startling the three Purple Dragons. "Hi. We're the neighborhood clean and green! Doing out part to stamp out tags!" The Purple dragons got bats and chains to fight Raph and Casey. A Purple Dragon with a chain ran to Raph but Raph kicked him hard. "Dude, you're totally stealing my act," Casey told a Purple Dragon with two bats. He ran to Casey ready to hit him but he dodged each attack.

As Raph and Casey were fighting the two Purple Dragons, the third went behind a dumpster, pulled out his phone, and called his boss. "We got one."

Raph found the hiding Purple Dragon quickly and threw him at the wall with the graffiti knocking him out cold. Casey, who was fighting the Purple Dragon with the two bats, kicked him to Raph, who defeated the last standing Purple Dragon.

"Piece of cake," Casey said with confidence in his voice. Raph put his food down on the downed Purple Dragons then said, "I wouldn't be so sure. Phone boy called for back-up." Raph pointed at the rooftop across the street where two foot tech ninjas were watching them. They jumped off the rooftop onto the street, ready to fight Casey and Raph. "And here it comes!"

"Whoa! Those things aren't human," Casey said noticing the outfits of the foot tech ninjas. Raph, who was spinning of of his sais, said, "In case you haven't noticed, nerither am I."

Raph and Casey charged at the foot tech ninjas ready to fight them but they pushed a button on their chests and turned invisible. "Where'd they go?" Casey asked surprised at the ability of the people they are fighting. Suddenly, both were punched at the same time and it threw them near a structure in the alley. Raph groaned in pain then said, "They must have some kind of... what do you call it... cloakin' device?" Casey stood up holding his arm in a bit of pain then asked confused, "Cloakin' device? What are they cling-ons?"

Raph stood up once he noticed the foot tech ninjas coming at them. He saw one coming at them since one was walking through a puddle of water. Raph jumped at the foot tech ninja but he caught Raph. Raph fought to be released but the foot tech ninja wasn't budging. Casey ran to a can of spray paint and spray painted the foot tech ninja in the face. This revealed his location and Casey hit him with his hockey stick, causing an eyepiece to fall off of his mask. This attack also shocked the foot tech ninja so he let go of Raph.

Casey tried to hit him again but the foot tech ninja was prepared so he blocked the attack with his arm, causing the hockey stick to break. "Uh-oh..." Casey said knowing that he was in trouble. Raph and Casey were thrown into the structure in the alley not only causing it to be destroyed by this also knocked both of them out. The foot tech ninjas turned off their invisibility. One grabbed Raph and dragged him and the other dragged Casey. "Target apprehended."

"What about him?" The Purple Dragons came forward with weapons at the ready and the one who appeared to be the leader said, "Just leave him to us." The foot tech ninjas left with on putting Raph over his shoulder leaving an unconscious Casey to the Purple Dragons. "It's payback time."

The Purple Dragons were about to attack Casey but he tricked them by making them think he was unconscious. "Psych!" Casey spray painted the Purple Dragons in the face, blinding them temporarily. This gave Casey the perfect opportunity to escape but he grabbed the broken eyepiece. 'Don might want to look at this so she can find Raph.'

Raph woke up from unconsciousness and said, "Where am I?" Now angry and confused since two needles started poking at him, Raph said, "Hey! Watch where you're pokin' those things? When I get out of here, I'm gonna..." Raph was interrupted by Hun who had one of his said, "This is some nice steel. How about telling me who gave them to you?"

Being the smart shell he is, Raph smirked, "Your momma." Hun threw the sais just inches away from Raph's head. He pulled them out from the examination table as he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you." Hun threw the sais on a table near Raph then he picked up his Shell Cell. "You know, I get a little clumsy when people don't answer my questions." Hun broke Raph's phone and he flinched but it wasn't enough for Hun to notice.

Raph then noticed Hun's tattoo. "Hey! Nice tat. Purple dragon or just some... big ugly chicken?" Annoyed with Raph, Hun grabbed his head and shoved it back hard against the table. "Let's start with just exactly what kind freak are you anyway?" Raph just stared at him with anger in his eyes.

Down in the sewers, Leo, Donna, and Mikey were perfecting their balance on the bamboo sticks as Splinter monitored them. Soon, Casey wobbled into the lair with bruises all over his body. He groaned in pain as he wobbled over to the bamboo once again and knocked them all down, along with the turtles and their master.

The lights turned on and Mikey pointed to a hurt Casey. "You can almost set your watch by this guy." Leo and Mikey helped him up and Leo asked in a worried tone, "Casey, what happened?" Casey removed his masked as Splinter asked, "Where is Raphael?"

"The invisible ninjas took him." Donna and Mikey looked at each other then looked at Casey. "Invisible ninjas, huh? This story wouldn't involve Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny by any chance?" Mikey said thinking Casey was crazy. "I got proof!" Casey said with determination in his voice as he pulled out the broken eyepiece he took from one of the foot tech ninjas.

Donna took it to her lab and examined it under a microscope. "Oh! It's some kind of optical device. Very heavy duty hardware. Not the kind I would find in the dump," Donna said as Leo was trying to call Raph. "Raph's not answering his Shell Cell."

Casey picked up a chair and threw it, destroying it on the ground. Splinter calmly watched as Leo watched concerned. "This is all my fault!" Casey shouted in anger, clearly upset that he possibly got his friend captured. "Calm down. Don't worry. I installed tracking chips in all the Shell Cells. Just in case." Donna tried to find her brother's location but all she got was static. "Interesting. I'm not getting a signal." Even more upset with this revelation, Casey started to kick the furenture. "We'll never find him!"

"I may be able to calibrate the scanner to trace a com signal from your "invisible ninjas"." Casey continued to destroy chairs and other various objects. "Better make it fast, D. We're running out of furniture."

"We've been over this again and again, freak! I'm only going to ask this one more time. Who do you work for? How long have you been on this planet? What is the level of your technology?" Hun said demanding more answers from Raph. Raph then said, "Planet? Technology? Boy, you're barking up the wrong shell." Getting frustrated with the answers he's been getting from Raph, Hun pushed the examination table hard while shouting, "ANSWER ME!"

"Come to think of it, who do you work for? I mean, you look way to dumb to be in charge of all this," Raph said hoping he could distract Hun long enough to free his right hand. Hun grabbed the buzzsaw, now determined to either get an answer a Raph one way or another. "You can talk or you let your DNA do the talking. Now, is there something you want to tell me?"

Raph finally freed his hand and he punched Hun in the stomach knocking the air out of him. "Just this!" He grabbed the oxygen mask and forced sleeping gas into Hun's system. "Sweet dreams, Lardbutt!" Now with Hun fighting off the sleeping gas, Raph grabbed the buzzsaw and cut the straps holding him down. Now freed, Raph grabbed his sais and his destroyed Shell Cell. "Donna will kill me if I leave this."

Raph kicked a door that lead outside and was a bit shocked to see that he was on a boat in the middle of the Hudson. He quickly shook off his surprise and ran to the edge. "Good thing turtles are amphibious." Raph jumped in the water and began he swim back to New York so he could get home.

"You fool! I was this close to obtaining a DNA sample and you let him escape!" Baxter Stockman shouted in anger at Hun. Hun, who has now recovered from the sleeping gas, smirked and told Stockman, "Precisely. I let him escape. To lead us to the others even as we speak a squad of foot tech ninjas are trailing the creature."

Raph made it to the docks and ran off, not knowing that he was being followed by the foot tech ninjas.

"Now it's all up to your invisible boys," Hun told Stockman. Hun then said in a warning tone of voice, "Better hope they don't blow it." Stockman put a hand to his missing eye. 'They won't, imbecile.'

Down in sewers, Donna was finally able to get Raph's signal from his Shell Cell. "I'm getting a signal and it's Raphael! I found him!" In sheer happiness, Casey shouted as he lifted his arms up in excitement., "Wha-hoo!" But this action caused a light in Donna's lamp in her lamp to break. 'Great. Another thing to add to my list of things I need to fix that Casey broke.'

Mikey pointed at Casey and said as Leo face-palmed himself and Splinter shook his head, "This guy's bad news even when there's good news."

Donna took a deep calming breath. 'This is about finding Raph.' She thought to herself. "His signal is faint but at least we've got a blip we can follow." Just as she finished saying that, two more blips appeared out of the blue. "Uh-oh. Make that several blips."

"The 'Invisible Ninjas'?" Leo asked curiously and worried about his brother as he made a fist. Splinter put a comforting hand on Leo then said, "Raphael might not be aware that he is being followed." Then Leo said with urgency in his voice, "Which means we've got to find him before he brings in some seriously unwanted house guests." Everyone immediately looked at Casey then Mikey said, "We've already got one of those."

"So, uh, how are we going to stop something we can't see?" Casey asked. "Luckily, I have that covered." Donna then grabbed her heat vision goggles. "Turtle vision heat sensor goggles." Donna put on her goggles and handed the extras to Casey and her brothers while saying, "After all, an invisible body is still a warm body."

Everyone put on the Turtle vision heat sensor goggles, even Casey who put it over his mask. "Let's go!" Leo said determinedly. "That's a good look for you."

On the surface, Mikey and Casey were on the surface in the Battle Shell. "We're gonna have to split up. Mike and Casey..." Mikey stopped Casey from pressing all the buttons. "Quit it. Donna would kill you if you broke anything in here."

"You cover aboveground."

In the sewers

Donna and Leo were on the Sewer Slider searching for Raph underground. "Me and Donna will cover below." Leo was driving the Sewer Slider as Donna was monitoring the tracker. 'I just hope we find Raph before he gets to the lair.'

'I'm almost home just need to go through a few more corners.' Raph thought to himself as he ran through the sewers but unfortunately, he was still unaware that he was being followed by the Foot Tech Ninjas. Raph made it to a large room in the sewers where pipes and water were everywhere.

Donna and Leo were in a hallway above watching as several Foot Tech Ninjas were sneaking behind Raph. "I say with my turtle eye... some goons that need a good bapping." Leo and Donna got their weapons out then they jumped to the ground. Raph noticed then said, "Hey!" He got confused when they looked as if his brother and sister were going to attack him. "Huh?"

"QUASI!" Raph watched as he saw Donna and Leo kick two unknown assailants. The two kicked two more invisible ninjas then Raph asked confused, "Uh... guys... what are ya..." Then Donna said, "Ever hear the one about the invisible ninjas?" Donna watched as the eight Foot Tech Ninjas charged at them ready to attack at full force.

The Foot Tech Ninjas grabbed Leo and Donna, spun them around, then threw them over Raph and they hit the ground hard. Casey and Mikey arrived and Casey bent down and said, "Hey, did I forget to mention that these guys are really strong too?" Leo groaned then said, "Might have been useful info?"

Donna and Leo stood up then watched along with Mikey and Casey watched as Raph tried to punch the Foot Tech Ninjas but was failing since they were hitting him. "Come on! Show yourself, ya lousy..." Raph was punched hard in the face and was about to fall unconscious.

"Uh... think we should give him a hand?" Mikey asked. Leo and Donna nodded and they all ran to help Raph defeat the Foot Tech Ninjas. Casey, who had a golf club in his hands, shouted, "FORE!" He used the golf club to spread mud on two Foot Tech Ninjas so Raph could attack them. "Ahhh... much better." Raph kicked the somewhat visible ninjas.

Mikey grabbed his nunchucks and attacked two Foot Tech Ninjas. "Now you see 'em, now you don't!" Donna attacked a Foot Tech Ninja with her bö staff as well as Leo and now the two were back to back. "Boys, there cloaking control looks to be somewhere around the chest plate," Donna told Leo then he smirked then jumped into the air with his swords at the ready. "You mean... here!" Leo slashed at the chest of two Foot Tech Ninjas which revealed their location and Donna hit them with her bö staff. This attack knocked them into a puddle of water causing an electrical shortage in their suits, knocking them out.

Donna, Raph, and Leo looked at the unconscious Foot Tech Ninjas then Donna said, "Can I call 'em like a pro or what?" Raph took out his sais and spun them as he said, "So... I guess that's that.

A scream took them out of their thought. The three turtles saw Casey being dangled up in the air. A Foot Tech Ninja turned off his invisibility and told them threateningly, "Drop your weapons and surrender." The turtles watched in horror and Casey struggled to be released. "My grip is loosing, I suggest you drop your weapons, now!"

"Don't do it, guys. I'm not worth it!" Casey told his friends. More Foot Tech Ninjas started to surround the ninjas as the turtles were conflicted on surrendering or now. "You know, boys. He's got a point." Leo was about to say something but decided against it. Donna considered Casey a friend but he annoyed her to a tee. Raph, Leo, and Donna dropped their weapons and were ready to surrender. Then Raph noticed that Mikey was missing. "Hey, where is Mikey?" Raph then noticed him on a pipe over the railing that the lone Foot Tech Ninja was on.

"The Way of Balance and the Way of Invisibility," Mikey said imitating Master Splinter. Mikey jumped down from the pipes and kicked the Foot Tech Ninja which caused to release Casey but now Casey was falling into the whirlpool of water. 'Oh, I better not regret this.' Donna ran to save Casey but a Foot Tech Ninja stopped her with his sword. He was about to attack her with his two katanas but she jumped into the air, dodging the attack. She jumped back on him, grabbed her bö staff, and saved Casey but the Foot Tech Ninja fell into the water. Casey gave her a thumbs-up then she used her bö staff to throw him up next to her brothers, who proceeded to pick up their weapons and she joined them side by side.

The rest of the battle was fairly easy for the turtles and Casey. They kicked four Foot Tech Ninjas into the whirlpool and knocked the last three out. Casey walked over to the whirlpool and watched it spin then he took off his Turtle vision heat sensor goggles and his mask and tied his mask to his belt and put the turtle vision heat sensor goggles in his bag. Casey sighed in relief. "Thanks guys. I owe you."

"We take cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards," Mikey said jokingly as he took off his turtle vision heat sensor goggles. The turtles put their weapons away as Casey approached them then he said, "Man, I'm beat. Maybe I should just crash at you guys's place tonight," Casey suggested with the turtle's mouths opening in fear. Leo rushed forward and said, "No!"

He quickly recovered then said, "I mean, nothing beats the comfort of sleeping in your own bed." Leo laughed nervously as Donna also ran forward and told him, "We'll give you a ride. We have you home in no time. No time at all. It's really not a problem." Mikey rushed forward and pushed Casey from behind and said, "We'll carry you up the stairs, tuck you in, heck, we'll even read you a bedtime story." Raph ran from behind to help his brothers and sister as they all left the sewers to take Casey home.

In the lair of the mysterious man, he was not happy that both Stockman and Hun failed their mission. "Another operation marred by the sickening stench of defeat!" The man snarled at them. It was clear that he was extremely angry. "No doubt you two are well aware of my extremely limited tolerance for failure."

"It was his fault! This bumbling oaf let the creature escape!" Stockman said defending himself. The man grabbed Stockman by the collar of his shirt and sneered, "The plan was sound and yet, your creations failed you as put it 'deliver the goods'." The man threw Stockman to the ground hard. The man waved his hand and two foot tech ninjas grabbed him by the arms then started to drag him away.

"Wait, where are you taking me? Take your hands off me! I made you! I am your creator!" Stockman said with the last sentence in a voice of fear. The door slammed and he was dragged off to meet his fate. Hun grinned as this whole scene played out. 'That's what you deserve, Stockman.' The man approached Hun and asked, "What did you learn from your interrogation?"

"I worked on a lot of tough guys in my day. I'm telling you these turtles have never even heard of your enemies, let alone work for them," Hun answered with honesty in his voice. "Hmm... then perhaps they can be useful to me when the time comes to confront those enemies," The man said with interest in his voice. 'I just need to observe them and wait for the right moment to talk to them.'

In a dark room, where three people were sitting, a man entered the room. "Master, it is true. Our enemy has discovered our presence in this city," He told them. "And what of..." "The four..." "Mutant creatures?" Each person asked one by one.

"Still an unknown factor. We need more information," He told them. "Learn all you can about them," A lady told him. "If they pose no threat..." A man started. "Do not engage them," Another man finished. "But if they are in the employ of our enemy..." The woman started. "Take the nessary steps..." A man with a blue beard and mustache said. "to neutralize them." All three said the final part together then the man standing bowed at them and left the room with a new mission of observing the turtles.

Sorry this took so long. I've been working a lot lately so not a whole lot of time to update but here it is. Thanks for reading! Don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please! Bye! :)
