Jackie Chan's Misadventures with the Turtles

Note: If you haven't read "Jackie Chan Adventures with TMNT" then I suggest you do so before you read this. I'll reference several times and it will explain things better. That story took place in season 4 of JCA and season 2 of the 2003 TMNT series. This story is set during season 5 of JCA and season 3 of TMNT. This takes place before the JCA episode "Clash of the Titanics". This also takes place before the TMNT episode "Hun on the Run". Enjoy.

Part 1

It was a dark night and the Turtles were standing in fighting stances with their weapons in their hands as they stared at someone across from them.

As they fiercely stared at their opponents Leonardo narrated in the background, "Once again my brothers and I have gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble."

The camera showed each of the Turtles staring at their enemies while Leo narrated, "We came to San Francisco to thwart Shredder's plan, but in our first night here we find ourselves reunited with an old friend."

The camera moved to show Jade Chan standing behind the Turtles as she shouted, "Bring it on lizard boys! The Turtles will beat the shell out of you! They're trained in the ancient art of butt-whoop!"

Mikey smiled happily as he said, "Yeah! What she said!"

Across from them stood four demonic teens glaring back at them: Drago, Strike Master Ice, DJ Fist, and MC Cobra.

The camera showed each dragon boy while Leo narrated, "However we also seem to have made some new enemies unlike any we've ever seen before."

Drago glared at them as he pointed his finger and angrily said, "I don't care what you freaks are, you just made a big mistake!"

The Turtles and the dragons kept glaring at each other while Leo narrated, "Master Splinter would say that we've gotten into our usual amount of trouble, but I think this is a new amount even for us."

The last thing the camera showed was Drago breathing fire while Leo narrated, "In fact, it looks like things are about to heat up for us."

The screen turned black and the beginning of the intro for "Jackie Chan Adventures" played as Jackie Chan ran into his Uncle's shop. He looked around and saw the green letters "TMNT" in the shop and the Turtles' theme started playing. The REAL Jackie Chan appeared stared forward in shock before the cartoon version appeared again, then one by one, all four Turtles jumped in front of Jackie. During the fourth through sixth lines of the verse we saw an image of Leo fighting off two Shadowkhan with his katanas, Don driving the Sewer Slider through Section 13 and giving the audience a thumbs up. During the seventh through tenth lines of the verse a video of Raph jumping down in an alley and jumping toward the camera and kicking it played, then a video showed Mikey riding Captain Black's van as he whirled his nunchucks.

Chorus: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Turtles count it off!

One, Two, Three, Four!

Turtles!

Mutant chain reaction!

Turtles!

Living underground!

Turtles!

Ninjitsu action!

Turtles!

It's a shell of a town!"

The theme music from "Jackie Chan Adventures" started playing again as the screen showed a painting scroll by of the seven other demon sorcerers. While it rolled by in front of it was a shadowy image of Jackie fighting two ninjas was shown while the REAL Jackie Chan snuck across the screen. Then the screen showed a bunch of Shadowkhan moving up with the REAL Jackie Than in front, looking at the camera as he performed a few moves. Next a blue fan opened in front of him and he vanished, the screen then showed Jade looking at the camera as she held two blue Chinese fans with red dragons on them. There was an orange background behind her as Chinese letters rolled up next to her; she held one fan over her mouth and held the other out before waving them and standing in a fighting stance. Next the screen showed Uncle with a green background behind him as Chinese letters rolled up while he demonstrated martial arts skills.

Next, the music changed as the second verse of the TMNT theme played while the Turtles jumped toward the screen to fight. During the second and third lines of the verse the top half of the screen showed Leonardo's mask, while the bottom half showed the Turtles in Jackie's room, kneeling before him with Jade in the middle while he talked. Then the screen showed Don's mask on the bottom half of the screen while the top half showed Jackie fighting Shadowkhan. During the fourth and fifth lines of the verse, the top half of the screen showed Rafael's mask while the bottom showed Drago and his team marching forward on the street with a big fire behind them. Then the bottom half of the screen showed Mikey's mask while the top half showed Drago angrily punching toward the camera. During the sixth line of the verse Captain Black smiled as he flew a helicopter by the Dark Hand's old building while Don jumped and grabbed a rope hanging from the chopper. During the seventh line the Turtles and Jackie were surrounded Shadowkhan as they all prepared to fight.

Chorus: "Turtles count it off!

One!

Live by the code of the martial arts!

Two!

Never fight unless someone else starts!

Three!

Always stick together no matter what!

Four!

If all else fails then it's time to kick butt!"

The theme for "Jackie Chan Adventures" played again as Jackie running with the Turtles on the Golden Gate Bridge, avoiding Shadowkhan who jumped at them. Next Jackie and the Turtles slid down the side of the Eiffel Tower with Shadowkhan falling beside them. Then Jackie ran down the side of one of the pyramids with the Turtles as they were chased by more Shadowkhan. Then an closeup of Jackie appeared showing his frightened expression, then it showed the REAL Jackie Chan as he looked back in fear. Tohru walked across the screen holding a glowing green blowfish and changed the screen behind him as it showed Jade waiting in an alley as she tossed the Dragon Talisman up and down. The Turtles came running by as Leo snatched the Talisman out of the air, picked up Jade, and kept running. Leo ran as he shook Jade around with the rest of the Turtles following him while Leo looked at the Dragon Talisman in his left hand as it flashed. The music changed again as the shadows of the Turtles running and jumping across rooftops was scene.

During the fourth and fifth lines of the verse the Turtles were on a rooftop when Leo put Jade down and they all ran forward before Jackie jumped behind them to join them. As the sixth line played four square images of the Turtles were shown, then the seventh and eight lines played showing them jumping down from the Dark Hand's building. The ninth line played showing Shredder standing on the Dark Hand's building with Drago behind him as he said the ninth line. During the tenth line the Turtles smiled as they showed off their weapons, then during the eleventh and twelfth lines Jackie looked up to see Hun standing over him, Uncle, and Jade. Hun reach for them to attack but Jackie punched him and the REAL Jackie Chan shook his hand in pain as he mouthed "ow". Hun was lying on his back as he stared forward dizzy while Jackie kept shaking his hand in pain. The last lines of the song played while Jackie stood in a fighting stance and the Turtles jumped behind him one by one before they were joined by Jackie and Uncle. Then the logo for the crossover special was shown as the intro finally ended.

Chorus: "I love bein'

I love bein'

I love being a Turtle!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Turtles count it off!

One, Two, Three, Four!

Turtles!

There's no one better!

Turtles!"

Drago: "Watch out for Shredder!"

Chorus: "Turtles!

They're like no others!

Turtles!

Those teenage brothers!

One, Two, Three, Four!

One, Two, Three, Four!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

It was a calm night in New York City as the Turtles were on the roof of a skyscraper nearby the Shredder's building. Don had headphones on as he held up a receiver and tried to listen to Shredder in his office and find out what was going on.

Leo looked at Don as he curiously asked, "Anything Don?"

Don listened to his headphones while he said, "Not yet."

Raph was irritated as he pounded his fist and angrily said, "I hate just sitting around like this! I say we go in there and beat some answers out of some Foot Ninjas!"

Leo looked at Raph with a calm expression as he said, "Raph, we need information, not prisoners. We have to try and figure out what Shredder is up to."

Mikey was bored as he said, "Any chance you could use that thing to listen to some jams."

Leo glared at Mikey with an annoyed expression as he said, "Not the time Mikey, stay focused! This is important!"

Raph hit Mikey in the back of the head with an annoyed expression as he said, "Yeah Shell for brains! Stay focused!"

Don looked back at the others with an annoyed expression as he said, "Guys quiet! I think I've got something."

Donnie picked something up on his receiver and then pushed a button to play it over a speaker so his brothers could hear it too.

In Shredder's mansion he spoke with Dr. Chapman and said, "Dr. Chapman, report."

Chapman smiled as he opened up a laptop and said, "Well Mr. Saki, I managed to locate that crashed Federation Ship you've been after. The wreckage is located near the bottom of San Francisco Bay."

Shredder smiled evilly as he said, "Excellent. The engines in that Federation ship are among the most important components needed for my plan to succeed. We must retrieve those engines from the bottom of the bay."

Chapman smiled as he showed Shredder a picture of an outfit for a Foot Soldier and said, "I've also finished constructing the underwater gear for your Foot Ninjas as you requested and we should be ready to leave tomorrow morning."

Shredder was pleased as he showed a serious expression and said, "Good, we must acquire those engines immediately. Inform Hun and Stockman when we will be leaving. I want to keep a close watch on them."

Chapman nodded as he said, "Yes, Mr. Saki."

He turned around and walked out of the room; back outside the Turtles heard everything as they looked at each other.

Don was a bit surprised as he took off the headphones and put down the receiver while he said, "Well, now we know what Shredder's next move is."

Leo showed a serious expression as he said, "He's going to San Francisco."

Mikey smiled jokingly as he put his hands together and said, "Cool, I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge."

The others ignored him as Don said, "During the war between the Triceratons and the Federation, a Federation flag ship did crash in San Francisco Bay. Shredder's after its starship engines, and from the way he was talking, they're really important for whatever he's planning with all of this alien technology he's been collecting."

Raph pounded his fist and said, "Then we gotta beat him there!"

Don was uncertain as he said, "Raph, San Francisco's on the other side of the country. We can't just drive there in the Battle Shell."

Leo showed a serious expression as he said, "You're right Don. We'll stow away in the next flight leaving for San Francisco and ride it all the way there. Once we get there we'll work on trying to keep those starship engines away from Shredder."

Mike smiled as he happily raised his fists in the air in excitement and exclaimed, "Yes! We're going on vacation!"

Raph hit Mikey upside the head, prompting Mikey to cry, "Ow!"

He glared at Raph who smiled happily, while Don looked at his brothers and reluctantly said, "Guys, I'm not sure this is such a good idea. Sneaking aboard an airline is risky enough, but San Francisco is very different from New York. Getting around without being seen will be a lot harder without any transportation."

Raph held his hands out at his sides as he said, "Come on Don! We stowed away in Shredder's blimp when we went to Beijing."

Don looked at Raph as he nervously said, "Yeah, but we had help from Karai and it didn't end that well for us."

Raph folded his arms with an angry expression as he could not argue with Don, then Mikey arrogantly smiled and said, "Relax Donnie. We're ninjas. We can sneak onto a plane and get around in San Francisco without being caught."

Don looked at Mikey with a tedious expression as he said, "Mikey, whenever you say things like that you're asking for trouble."

Leo showed a serious expression as he said, "Don, Shredder's collecting alien technology for something. I don't know what for but it can't be good. We have to do something to stop him."

Mikey and Raph both showed agreement, then Don said, "Okay, but if we're going to do this we're going to need some gear, and some help."

Meanwhile in San Francisco

The Chans were sitting in the kitchen of Uncle's antique shop as they ate dinner together while talking about Jade.

Jackie looked down at Jade as he said, "Jade, you've been telling your stories at school again."

Jade swallowed some noodles as she looked at Jackie and said, "So?"

Jackie pointed his chopsticks at her as he explained, "So you need to learn to stop telling them. Telling those stories about your 'adventures' is keeping you from making friends at school."

Jade stubbornly said, "But they never believe me."

Jackie looked at Jade as he calmly said, "And that is WHY those stories are keeping you from making friends."

Jade looked somewhat hurt as she said, "I have friends. I have you, Uncle, and Tohru."

Tohru looked across the table at Jade and politely said, "Jade, do you still want to go to that movie tomorrow night?"

Jade smiled happily as she said, "You betcha T."

Jackie looked at Jade as he honestly said, "Jade, we're your family. It is good that you spend time with us but you need to spend more time with kids around your age."

Jade smiled as she said, "I'd say I'm good friends with Paco."

Jackie spoke reasonably as he said, "Maybe, but Paco lives with El Toro in Mexico. We don't see him that often. You need to work on trying to make more friends. Friends who will help you stay out of trouble. And those stories you tell other kids makes it hard for you to do that."

Jade brushed off his comment as she looked at her food and said, "Eh who cares what they think? I say we focus on taking down Drago and his crew."

Jackie shook his head and shut his eyes while he let out a weary sigh, his niece was very stubborn and never listened to him.

Uncle showed a serious expression as he turned from Tohru to the others and said, "Speaking of whom, Tohru we must keep eye on chi-o-matic. Only two demon chi remain and we must be ready for when they are detected. One more thing, Drago will be very determined to capture the remaining chi. He will also not rest until all eight demon chi are his. One more thing, we must be very cautious. Drago may try something sneaky."

Meanwhile in the Junkyard

Drago was talking with Ice, DJ Fist, and MC Cobra as he folded his arms and impatiently said, "Boys, we need to talk turkey!"

MC Cobra smiled as he said, "Sure dog, what's up?"

Drago glared at all three of them with a serious expression as he bluntly said, "There are only two demon chi left, but I need all of them if I'm going to rule the world! We need to get the rest of them out of Section 13!"

Ice then curiously asked, "So why don't we just wait for the next two to pop up, then we can use them to break in and steal the rest?"

Drago shook his head and clinched his fists as he angrily said, "No! Those Chans will keep trying to stop me from getting the other two! They're becoming a real pain in my tail! We need to get the rest of the demon chi now!"

He then breathed fire in a fit of rage and scared Ice, DJ Fist, and MC Cobra as they jumped back away from his fire.

MC Cobra spoke up and then asked, "Okay, okay! But how are we supposed to break into that Section 13 joint?"

Drago smiled deviously as he folded his arms and said, "We're not breaking in. They'll trade us the containment unit for that little brat Jade!"

The others smiled evilly as they liked where this was going and Ice eagerly said, "Now you're talking De-Man!"

The next morning

Shredder's private jet was flying through the sky as he rode inside with Karai, Chapman, Hun, Stockman and a bunch of Foot Ninjas.

Karai stood up and looked at Shredder as she calmly said, "Master, we will be landing in San Francisco shortly."

Shredder stared at her with a serious expression as he curiously asked, "And what is the status of locating our temporary base."

Chapman smiled as he held up a small handheld device that showed a picture of a building as he said, "We've managed to rent out a huge office building, from which we should be able to coordinate every phase of our operation."

Shredder was sitting in a chair with a pleased expression as he said, "Excellent."

Stockman had his robotic arms folded as he smiled arrogantly and said, "Obviously we are here because we are being put in charge of this mission."

Shredder glared at him and Hun and pointed at Karai and Chapman before standing up while he said, "No! Karai and Dr. Chapman are in charge of this mission. You are only coming to provide additional assistance. I will not leave you two unsupervised after your failure in Beijing!"

Stockman and Hun both looked afraid as Stockman nervously said, "Of course."

Hun bowed and respectfully said, "Yes master."

He and Stockman both glared at Karai and Chapman with vexed expressions; meanwhile a commercial plane was flying to San Francisco with the Turtles and Leatherhead stored in the cargo hold. Leo was patiently awaiting their arrival while Mikey was napping, Raph was boredly bouncing a ball against the wall, and Don was with Leatherhead.

Don looked at Leatherhead and smiled as he said, "Thanks for coming again, Leatherhead. We could really use your brains and brawn on this mission."

Leatherhead spoke politely as he said, "Of course, I will do anything to keep Shredder from getting what he wants."

Leo walked over to them and curiously said, "I'm wondering if we should've brought Professor Honeycut with us."

Leatherhead held his right hand out as he said, "Professor Honeycut needs more time to recover his full memory, I have also been working on building him a new robot body."

Don held up a gym bag and confidently said, "Don't worry guys. I prepared for any problems we might face."

Leo showed a serious expression as he said, "Good, once we land, we'll get off this plane and work on finding safe place to hide out. Then we'll work on figuring out how we can stop the Foot from claiming those starship engines."

Don showed a nervous expression as he looked at Leatherhead and said, "It's going to be a lot harder to sneak through the city in broad daylight, especially with him."

Leatherhead looked insecure, but Raph looked at them and smiled as he said, "Not if we go through the sewers."

Don showed a mildly annoyed expression as he said, "The sewers. Should've guessed."

Leo looked at Don with a serious expression as he said, "It's our best option Don. We're a long way from home with no other friends to help us."

Later in San Fransisco

Jade was at school during recess as she played basketball with Drew and a few other kids from her class.

Jade dribbled the ball and then shot a goal as she happily cheered, "Oh yeah! I'm the bomb! Uh huh!"

Drew smiled at her as he said, "Not bad Jade. Where'd you learn to shoot like that?"

Jade smiled proudly as she said, "I've got some skills."

Drew then smiled tauntingly as he sarcastically said, "Oh yeah? Who taught you them? Demons? Ninjas? Or those alien karate turtles?"

The other kids started laughing and Jade pointed at Drew as she said, "Hey! Leo, Don, Mikey, and Raph are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and they are real!"

Drew laughed at her and said, "Yeah right! And I'm from another planet!"

All the other kids started laughing at Jade before the bell rang and then they started walking back to class.

Jade stayed behind for a moment as she looked up into the sky and said to herself, "I miss those guys. I wish the Turtles were here right now."

Meanwhile at the airport, a plane just landed and the cargo door opened up and Leo hurried out before anyone could come and he showed a serious expression as he made sure no one else was nearby.

He looked back at his brothers and Leatherhead as he seriously said, "We're here."

Commercial break

It was later in the afternoon and the Turtles and Leatherhead managed to make it through San Francisco without being seen. They set up their hideout in an abandoned fish cannery on the waterfront of the city, with lots of open space and the things they needed.

Leo smiled as he looked around at the fish cannery and said, "This will do nicely."

Leatherhead put a laptop on a crate and opened it up as he said, "Agreed Leonardo. This fish cannery will make an effective lair for the time being."

Raph showed a serious expression as he looked at Leo and said, "Okay Leo, now that we've moved in, what now?"

Leo looked at Raph as he calmly answered, "We need to find out where Shredder has set up shop."

Mikey then curiously asked, "Why don't we just go down to that ship and destroy it so Shredder can't use it?"

Don looked at Mikey as he corrected him, "We don't exactly have the Shell Sub, Mikey. Which is as shame. I have been wanting to take it for another spin."

Leatherhead stepped forward as he suggested, "No, but perhaps I can be of assistance. I will swim down to the wreckage and see what I can find out about it."

Leo was concerned as he said, "Leatherhead, are you sure that's a good idea."

Raph agreed with his brother as he hesitantly said, "Yeah. I know you're a great swimmer and you can hold your breath much longer than us, but San Fransico Bay is really big and deep."

Don raised his left finger as he corrected Raph and said, "Actually, most of San Francisco Bay is relatively shallow. We would have an easier time swimming in it than we would in the East River. Approximately eighty-five percent of the bay's area is less than thirty feet deep. The ship just crashed into the deepest area of the bay, which is about 372 feet down."

Leo looked at Don with his eyes narrowed and his arms folded as he seriously said, "That doesn't make things much better Donnie. That starship is still really deep down for Leatherhead to swim to all by himself."

Don nodded in agreement as he said, "True."

Mikey also looked a bit scared as he nervously said, "Yeah, and aren't there sharks swimming around in there?"

Leatherhead smiled at the Turtles as he confidently said, "I appreciate your concern my friends, but I have much experience swimming in large bodies of water, and I am prepared to defend myself against any threats I may encounter. I will be fine."

Leo trusted him as he looked at his brothers with a serious expression and said, "Okay, but we still need to find Shredder's current base of operations. When the sun goes down we'll hit the streets and start searching."

Don thought out loud as he said, "Knowing Shredder, he's probably established himself in somewhere like his building back in New York."

Meanwhile, Shredder and the Foot had finished setting up shop in the skyscraper that was once the headquarters of the Dark Hand. He was sitting at a desk in Valmont's former office, which had been repaired since Shendu had destroyed it when he betrayed Valmont. Karai, Chapman, Stockman, and Hun were standing in front of Shredder's desk as he looked back at them with a serious expression.

Stockman looked around as he said, "This building has all the vicinities we need to house are operations here."

Shredder kept staring at them as he seriously said, "Good, now we can begin our operation to retrieve the engines from the Federation ship at the bottom of the bay. Karai, you will lead a team of Foot Ninjas to scout the waterfront for areas from which we can launch and coordinate our scuba team."

Karai bowed to Shredder as she respectfully said, "Yes master."

She turned around and started walking out while Hun glared at her with hatred and jealousy as he watched her leave.

Meanwhile at Uncle's shop

Jade happily went to Tohru as she eagerly said, "Come on Tohru! The movie's gonna start soon! We gotta get to the theater early if we want to catch previews."

She took his hand and lead him out of the shop as they passed Uncle and Jackie, who said, "Jade, the previews don't start for another half hour."

She glanced back at him as she said, "Yeah but we gotta hurry to get popcorn and drinks before the line gets too long."

Jackie cupped his mouth as he called, "Okay, but don't eat too much candy like last time."

Tohru smiled back at Jackie as he sheepishly said, "I will try to control myself."

They walked out and continued down the sidewalk as Jade said, "Bye Jackie."

Jackie waved to them before going back inside and standing in on the other side of the counter in front of Uncle.

Jackie showed a troubled expression as he said, "I am starting to worry about Jade. I am thinking she doesn't spend enough time with kids her age."

Uncle looked at him as he crankily said, "What do you mean? Jade spends time with other kids every day at school."

Jackie rested his arms on the counter as he honestly said, "Yes, but she doesn't really have any friends at school. She never spends any of her free time with other kids, she only spends time with us. I worry she may grow up and to be lonely."

Uncle smiled confidently as he said, "Jade has good heart, pure spirit, and smart head. She will make new friends when she is ready."

Jackie smiled for a short moment as he said, "I suppose you're right Uncle. I just wish she would spend more time with younger people."

Meanwhile

Leatherhead was swimming by himself in San Francisco Bay as he started searching for the Federation ship. With his crocodile tail he was able to easily swim through the water at speeds much faster than a human could swim, and he could hold his breath much longer. He swam down to the bottom of the bay and then spotted the wreckage of the Federation ship that had crashed. He growled to himself as he swam to the ship and examined it as he got a closer look at the back of it. He noticed huge holes in the hull of the ship and he knew that the crew was definitely dead already. However, he noticed that the engines of the starship seemed to still be intact and could easily be repaired. He looked troubled as he stared at the engines and then turned around and swam away, heading back to the abandoned fish cannery. He swam to a ladder and climbed up it back up to the dock, when he reached the top he made sure no one was around, then he went into the cannery.

The Turtles were waiting for him when he walked in and Leo curiously asked, "Well?"

Leatherhead walked to them as he explained, "I located the wreck. The ship is damaged beyond repair, but the engines remain intact."

Don looked a bit troubled as he said, "Then Shredder will definitely be able to use them for whatever he has planned."

Raph pounded his fist with a serious expression as he said, "Then we gotta go down there and take them before he can get his hands on them!"

Mikey looked at Raph as he argued, "How are we supposed to do that Raph? Those engines are bigger than the Battle Shell?"

Leo agreed as he calmly said, "Mikey's got a point guys. We need to figure out how we're going to keep them away from Shredder. Even if we stop the Foot from taking them, what's to keep Shredder from just trying again?"

Raph held his hands out with a serious expression as he said, "I say we just destroy them so no one can ever use them!"

Don looked at Raph as he held his left palm up and said, "Not your worst idea Raph, but destroying them won't be easy, especially when they're three hundred feet underwater."

Leatherhead walked to his laptop and started typing as he said, "There actually may be a way to do that."

The Turtles joined Leatherhead and looked at his laptop while he kept typing and the screen showed a layout of the Federation ship on the floor of the bay.

While the screen showed this Leatherhead explained, "When I was swimming I only got a good look at the outside of the ship. However, I noticed several large holes in the ship's hull that could allow us to enter the wreckage. I could go inside the ship and see if I can find any structural damages that would help us destroy the engines."

Leo smiled at Leatherhead and then looked at his brothers as he anxiously said, "Good idea Leatherhead. You work on that, meanwhile we'll work on finding Shredder's hideout. The sun's going down, so let's get searching."

The Turtles smiled at each other as Raph and Mikey happily pounded their fists and then they went outside and start sneaking around. They took off into the city and started their search as they stealthily ran and jumped across rooftops together.

Later at Uncle's Shop

It was dark and Uncle and Jackie were talking with Captain Black about Drago, but he calmly said, "I understand your concerns but I've instructed all of my men to keep an eye out for Drago and his team."

He then said "ow" when Uncle hit him with two fingers and crankily said, "Magic must defeat magic! We must develop counter spells to keep Drago from acquiring other demon chi."

Jackie looked at Uncle as he said, "Uncle, we should be working on removing Drago's firepower."

Uncle showed a serious expression as he said, "Drago's Fire Demon Chi is bound to him by blood. Removing firepower from him will be very difficult. We must focus on other demon chi first."

Captain Black showed a serious expression as he interrupted and said, "Well, what's important is that the containment unit is safe and secure in the vault of Section 13, along with Shendu, the Talismans, and Tarakudo's mask."

Uncle's expression softened as he raised his finger and solemnly said, "Yes, but we must prepare for the future. Many dangers still await us."

Meanwhile at the Junkyard

Drago was standing on an old car as he looked down at his team and said, "Okay, it's time for our little surprise."

The others smiled as MC Cobra happily said, "Yeah!"

Drago smiled evilly as he clinched his fists and said, "We take Jade and the Chans will have no choice but to hand over the demon chi!"

Ice then looked up at Drago while he curiously asked, "Okay, but how the heck do we find that shrimp anyway?"

Drago smiled maniacally as he put his hands together and said, "That's easy. Where would you go if you were a twelve-year-old pain in the butt."

They looked at each other and then smiled evilly as MC Cobra said, "That new sci fi movie that just came out!"

Drago smiled as he pointed at Cobra and then clinched his fist as he said, "Exactly! We catch that brat and make the Chans give us the demon chi if they ever want to see her again! But when we get what we want they'll never see her again, ever!"

They all smiled evilly as Ice said, "Yeah! Now you're talking de-man!"

Drago then turned around and said, "Now let's go catch a movie."

Drago then jumped down from the car and ran out of the junkyard while Ice, Cobra, and DJ followed him.

Meanwhile by the docks

Karai led a small team of Foot Ninjas as they scouted the waterfront of San Francisco when they came to a large warehouse near the dock.

Karai stood with a couple of Foot Ninjas as they stared at the warehouse when she said, "This will do. We must report back to the Shredder."

Her eyes widened as she suddenly heard Raph shout, "While you're at it why don't you tell him to head back to New York!"

She and the Foot Ninjas turned around to see the Turtles standing in front of them as she said, "The Turtles?!"

She and the Foot Ninjas prepared to fight while the Turtles drew their weapons and Leo said, "Attack!"

The Turtles charged at the Foot Ninjas and immediately started fighting them with much skill and valor. Mikey fought one Foot Ninja with his nunchucks as he blocked his sword and then kicked him down, Don swung his bo at two ninjas and knocked them down, and Raph kicked one Foot Ninja in the face.

Leo faced Karai as she drew her sword and twirled her chain, Leo stared at her as he honorably said, "Karai, if you truly believe in honor then help us stop Shredder's evil. Tell us where he is."

They locked blades before he dodged her chain and then they stared at each other as Karai stubbornly said, "I do not approve of my father's actions Leonardo, but I will never betray him."

She swung her chain at him again but he blocked it with one of his swords and stared at her as he said, "Karai, he needs to be stopped! If you won't tell us where he is then at least tell us what he's planning to do with this alien technology!"

Karai kept staring at him while she twirled her chain and honestly said, "I could not tell you even if I wanted to. I do not know what he plans to do with this alien technology, but I know he has big plans for it."

Leo jumped at her and she blocked both of his swords before kicking him down, then she yelled, "Retreat!"

The Foot Ninjas took off and followed Karai while Leo yelled, "Quick! After them! They can lead us to Shredder!"

The Turtles started chasing the Foot Ninjas further into the city as they swiftly ran and jumped across rooftops.

After a while they lost the Foot Ninjas and Raph angrily said, "We lost them! I can't believe they got away!"

Don expressed disappointment as he said, "They're long gone by now."

Raph angrily clinched his fists as he ranted, "They're gone and we don't know where Shredder is! Turtle luck running true to form!"

Leo put his hand on Raph's shoulder as he reassuringly said, "Calm down Raph. We'll find Shredder, and we'll stop him. I promise."

Suddenly they heard an alarm sound and they looked over the edge of the roof they were standing on and saw a store across the street. Valmont came running out of the store with a sack of money as he ran into an alley full of trash, right below the Turtles.

Raph smiled eagerly as he said, "Just what I needed!"

He jumped down and landed on his feet in front of Valmont, who stopped and stared at him in shock, then the rest of the Turtles jumped down and surrounded him.

Valmont was shocked as he exclaimed, "Blast!"

Leo stared at Valmont and calmly said, "Look pal, just return the stolen money and we can forget about this."

Raph smiled eagerly as he said, "Or we could do this the fun way."

Valmont desperately tried to make a run for it but Raph stopped him as he jumped at him and hit him with the handle of his sai and knocked him down.

They took the money from him as Valmont got up and cowardly said, "First I had to put up with demons and wizards, now I have to deal with talking turtles?! Why me?!"

He ran away scared and the Turtles returned the money to the store without being seen before returning to the darkness of the alley.

Leo looked at Raph as he calmly argued, "Okay Raph, good job but we need to work on finding Shredder."

Raph glared at Leo as he pointed at him and said, "I'm not just gonna stand by and let some lowlife rob people!"

Leo remained calm as he said, "Neither am I, but we need to stay focused."

Suddenly Mikey was surprised as he heard a familiar voice happily exclaim, "That movie was awesome! Thanks for taking me T!"

Mikey turned around curiously and then stealthily approached the other side of the alley and looked in the direction he heard the voice come from. He searched for the owner of the voice and then let out a gasp as he smiled with delight and excitement.

He happily spoke up as he looked outside the alley, turned to the others and smiled as he said, "Hey guys, check this out!"

The others joined him and looked at what he was looking at as Leo seriously said, "Mikey, this better be good."

They were all surprised as they saw Jade and Tohru walking across the street as they talked about the movie they just saw.

Don pointed at them as he smiled and said, "Hey, that's Jade and Tohru. We helped them and Jackie Chan get that magic Oni mask back from Shredder."

Mikey smiled as he happily nodded and said, "Yeah!"

Raph couldn't help but smile as he said, "Well, well, small world."

Leo was a bit surprised until he thought and said, "Jade did say that she and her family lived in San Francisco."

Mikey smiled happily as he said, "Let's go talk to them!"

Leo respectfully declined as he said, "Guys, I'm not sure that's a good idea."

Mikey looked at Leo with disappointment as he complained, "Aww, but we haven't seen them in a while."

Raph also expressed disappointment as he said, "Yeah and she's great. She's like the little sister we never had."

Leo briefly smiled before showing a serious expression as he honestly said, "As nice as it is to see old friends again, we need to stay focused on stopping Shredder."

Don also looked a little bit disappointed as he turned to Leo and said, "Jade, her uncles, and Tohru are good friends of ours. Maybe they could help us fight Shredder and the Foot."

Raph looked at Leo with an annoyed expression as he pointed his left thumb at Jade and Tohru while saying, "Yeah, she and her crazy karate family helped us out a lot last time. Plus that bald Captain Black guy might have some stuff we could use."

Leo thought as he calmly said, "Maybe, but we should figure out where Shredder is hiding before we think about asking old friends for help."

Mikey groaned in disappointment as he and the others turned and watched Jade and Tohru again as they kept walking.

Across the street, Jade happily smiled up at Tohru while she exclaimed, "Yeah T! That movie was the bomb!"

Suddenly Drago and his team jumped out and surrounded the two of them as Drago joked, "Then let's light this bomb's fuse."

Jade was shocked as she yelled, "Drago!"

The Turtles were still watching as they showed shocked expressions and Leo asked, "Who the shell are those guys?"

Raph watched and asked, "What are those guys? Mutants like us?"

Drago then shot a fireball from his mouth but Tohru grabbed Jade and ran out of the way as it exploded behind them.

Don showed a slightly scared expression as he replied to Raph's question, "I don't think so."

Tohru put Jade down and clinched his fists as he prepared to defend her when MC Cobra came at him and punched him in the stomach repeatedly. Tohru's stomach absorbed his hits and then he tried to punch him but MC Cobra swiftly dodged him as he swerved around.

Mikey was a bit impressed as he said, "Whoa, that guy's fast."

MC Cobra dodged another punch from Tohru before he grabbed MC Cobra and threw him away, then DJ Fist came and punched Tohru in the face, making him stumble back.

Raph smiled as he said, "That guy's tougher than he looks."

Tohru kept fighting DJ Fist while he exclaimed, "Jade! Run!"

Jade then obliged as she turned and ran off as Drago watched her and snarled viciously while DJ Fist punched Tohru and knocked him down unconscious.

Ice victoriously smiled down at Tohru as he gloated and smugly said, "The bigger they are the harder they fall!"

Drago pointed at Jade running away as he said, "Forget the sumo, get the squirt!"

They all agreed as they ran after Jade while the Turtles watched, Leo narrowed his eyes and said, "Whatever they are, we can't let those guys hurt Jade!"

All the Turtles agreed as they climbed up to the roof of the building and started following Jade and the dragons as they ran and jumped across rooftops. After they were all gone, Tohru groaned as he regained consciousness and sat up as he held his head in pain. Suddenly he remembered everything that happened and noticed Jade and the others were gone as he gasped in fear.

He pulled out his cellphone and called Jackie as he urgently said, "Jackie, Drago and his team attacked us! They are after Jade!"

Jackie was in Uncle's shop with him and Captain Black as they listened to Tohru over Jackie's cellphone and showed scared expressions.

Jackie looked at Uncle and Captain Black as he frantically yelled, "Jade is in danger! We have to save her!"

They hurried outside and got in a cab as they drove off to find and rescue Jade from Drago and his team. After a while Jade tried to run into an alley but came to a dead end as she turned around and found herself cornered by Drago and his team.

They all smiled evilly as Ice gloated, "Looks like the shrimp just walked into a dead end. Big trouble for her."

Drago stepped closer to Jade as he maniacally said, "I'd love to incinerate you right here and now, but I need you alive to trade for all the demon chi."

They closed in on her as she looked at them in terror, suddenly the Turtles jumped down, kicked Drago and his team and knocked them away.

They landed on their feet and drew their weapons as Leo said, "Nobody likes a bully!"

The dragons stared at the Turtles in shock while Jade was speechless as she said, "Mikey? Donnie? Raph? Leo?"

They all turned their heads and smiled at her as Leo happily said, "Hey Jade. Good to see you."

Mikey also smiled at her as he said, "Hi."

Donnie looked at her with a friendly smile as he said, "Nice to see you again."

Raph also turned to Jade with a fond smile as he said, "Long time no see."

A huge smile then appeared on Jade's face as she happily cheered, "Yes! Cowabunga!"

Ice kept staring at the Turtles as he said, "Yo, what are these guys?"

Jade smiled tauntingly at the dragons as she held her arms out toward the Turtles and said, "They're Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

Mikey and Raph both showed amused smiles while Ice, MC Cobra, and DJ Fist showed confused expressions as they kept staring at them.

Drago pointed his left finger at them as he angrily demanded, "Surrender now and we will let you all live!"

Raph glared daggers at Drago as he twirled his sais around his fingers and said, "Sorry fire breath, no one messes with Jade!"

Don narrowed his eyes with a serious expression as he agreed and said, "Yeah! She's an old friend of ours!"

Jade smiled as she raised her left fist and happily exclaimed, "Bring it on lizard boys! The Turtles will beat the shell out of you! They're trained in the ancient art of butt-whoop!"

Mikey smiled eagerly as he said, "Yeah! What she said!"

Drago kept glaring at them as he pointed at them and furiously said, "I don't care what you freaks are, you just made a big mistake!"

He furiously took a deep breath and then launched a big fireball from his mouth toward Jade and the Turtles.

Commercial break

Jade and the Turtles scattered as they all dodged the fireball that Drago had just launched at them as it exploded.

Drago then pointed at the Turtles as he ordered, "Destroy them!"

Drago and his team separated and fought each of the Turtles one-on-one while Jade happily watched them. Drago ran at Jade until he was stopped by Leo, who stood in front of her defensively as he held his swords out.

Drago snarled at Leo as he glared at him and demanded, "Get out of my way!"

He slashed his claws at Leo, but he dodged them and then kicked jumped and kicked Drago in the face, knocking him down. Drago got back up and furiously held his hands up as they lit on fire and then he threw a few fireballs at Leo, but he dodged them swiftly and ran at Drago as he swung his sword at him. Drago dodged his blade and then spun around swung his tail and hit Leo, knocking him down, but Leo got back on his feet and kept fighting. Drago tried to punch him but Leo blocked his fist and then kicked him in the stomach and made him stumble backwards.

Drago furiously glared at Leo as he yelled, "You're really starting to burn me up!"

He breathed fire at him but Leo dodged the fire and glared at Leo as he said, "This guy's a bigger hot head than Raph."

He kept fighting Drago while Jade happily cheered, "Go Leo!"

Meanwhile Raph was fighting DJ Fist, who stood over him as he prepared to fight and Raph said, "So, you think you're tough?"

DJ said nothing as he pounded his fist and Raph smiled eagerly as he said, "Strong silent type huh? Alright, let's dance!"

He ran at DJ Fist and slashed his sais at him but he dodged them and then punched Raph and knocked him back. Raph landed on his hands and jumped off them before getting back on his feet and standing in a fighting stance. DJ then came at him and tried to grab him, but Raph jumped in the air and kicked him in the face, causing him to stumble backwards. Raph turned his sais around and rapidly jabbed the handles of his sais into DJ Fist's stomach and drove him backwards each time. Raph then jumped and performed a sidekick to DJ's face and knocked him back, Raph smiled smugly until DJ got back up and grabbed him. He threw him against a wall and Raph groaned in pain before he got back up and saw DJ running at him with his arms out. Raph swiftly jumped over him and kicked him in his back, slamming DJ's body into the wall he already threw Raph at.

DJ fell to the ground and smiled smugly as he taunted, "Looks like the big guy's a little slow."

DJ Fist got back up and glared at Raph as he came at him with his arms out; meanwhile Mikey was fighting MC Cobra. Cobra came at Mikey and swiftly tried to punch him three times before doing a drop spin kick, but Mikey dodged his fists and jumped up to avoid his leg, then he kicked Cobra.

Cobra fell to the ground and Mikey smiled as he taunted, "Turtle vs lizard! Two reptiles fighting to the finish!"

Cobra got back up and smiled deviously as he said, "Okay dog, what do you think of this?"

He ran at Mikey as fast as he could and kicked him to the ground, Mikey got back up and whirled his nunchucks before swinging them at Cobra. MC Cobra swiftly dodged each attack before swerving behind Mikey and kicking him in his shell and knocking him to the ground again.

Cobra smiled down at Mikey as he gloated, "Sorry turtle, but you're way too slow for me!"

Mikey got back up and faced Cobra, who came running at him, but Mikey got out of his way and then swung one of his nunchucks at Cobra's face.

He knocked him down and Mikey had a smug grin on his face as he said, "As Master Splinter would say, slow and steady wins the race."

MC Cobra got back up and angrily came at Mikey and tried to punch him, but Mikey blocked his fist and then swung both his nunchucks at Cobra's face. Meanwhile Donnie was fighting StrikeMaster Ice by himself as they stood in fighting stances and stared at each other. Ice came at Donnie and tried to punch him three times, but Donnie blocked every punch with his bo and then jabbed him in the stomach.

He forced Ice backwards, Ice smiled at Don as he said, "Alright yo, you boys got some moves, but nobody messes with me and my crew!"

He came at Don again and tried to kick him, but Don blocked his foot with his bo, then swung it down and knocked Ice off his other foot.

Ice fell on his back and glared at Don, who smugly said, "Looks to me like you guys could use a little practice."

Ice got back up and said, "Boy, I'ma turn your stick into firewood!"

He put his hands together and then launched a fireball at Don, but he dodged it and then ran at Ice and swung his bo at him. He knocked Ice back and then used his bo to do a pole vault and kicked Ice in the face and knocked him flat on the ground. Soon the rest of the Turtles beat Drago, DJ, and Cobra and knocked them all down by ice as they groaned in pain and sat up.

The Turtles smiled victoriously at them as Jade happily raised her fists and said, "Go Turtles!"

Drago and his team stood up and Drago pointed at the Turtles as he furiously said, "You're gonna pay for this!"

He and his team retreated while the Turtles put their weapons away and then high-fived each other before turning to Jade.

Don smiled as he said, "Hey Jade, you okay?"

Jade smiled happily as she punched the air and said, "Yeah, thanks to you guys. You are the bomb!"

Leo showed a flattered smile as he said, "Glad you're alright Jade."

Raph smiled as he affectionately rubbed her head and said, "Yeah, still as scrappy as ever."

Jade smiled at them as she curiously said, "Thanks, what are you guys doing here?"

Don glanced up in thought as he said, "It's kind of a long story."

Mikey smiled jokingly as he said, "We were in the neighborhood and thought we'd drop by and kick some lizard butt!"

Leo looked down at Jade and curiously pointed his thumb behind him and said, "Who were those guys and why were they after you?"

Unbeknownst to them, Karai and her Foot Ninjas were standing on a rooftop spying on them, and Valmont was hiding in an alley nearby as he listened to them.

Jade looked at Leo as she calmly explained, "That was Drago and his goons."

The Turtles were confused as they asked, "Who?"

Jade moved her hands around as she explained, "He's the son of Shendu, an evil fire demon Jackie's beaten before. They've been giving me and Jackie trouble for a while now."

Leo showed a serious expression as he pointed at Jade and said, "Well if they're after you then we'd better get you somewhere safe. Come on."

Jade smiled as Raph picked her up and then the four of them made their way to the rooftops and started running and jumping across them with Jade.

Valmont watched them and grew curious as he said, "It seems Chan has some old friends in town. This could be interesting."

He then started running and followed them on foot without any of them knowing, meanwhile Karai and her Foot Ninjas stayed behind.

One of the Foot Ninjas looked at Karai and said, "Mistress Karai, what were those creatures the Turtles were fighting?"

Karai showed a serious expression as she said, "I do not know, but we must report this to our master."

She and her squad started jumping across rooftops in a different direction, then Jackie, Uncle, Tohru, and Captain Black came looking for Jade.

Jackie cupped his mouth as he called out, "Jade! Jade!"

There was no response and Jackie was worried as he said, "Oh, Drago and his team must've captured her!"

Tohru was also concerned as he said, "But what do they want with her?"

Captain Black showed a serious expression as he said, "It's gotta be a hostage situation."

They stopped walking as Uncle raised his finger, then pointed away and said, "Black is right. Drago took Jade to hold for ransom. We must return to shop and wait for Drago's demands."

The others agreed as they followed Uncle while Jackie nervously said, "I just hope Jade is alright."

Sometime later, Jade was laughing in excitement as Raph was still carrying her while he and his brothers kept running and jumping across rooftops. They jumped down and landed outside their fish cannery hideout as Raph set Jade down and they all stood by the door.

Jade looked disappointed as she asked, "This is your hideout?"

Leo looked at her as he honestly said, "It's the best we can do. You should be safe here with us for the time being. Come on, there's someone we'd like you to meet."

Jade followed the Turtles into the building, unaware they were being watched as Valmont hid behind a crate nearby.

He smiled deviously as he stared at the fish cannery and said, "Interesting, I might be able to somehow make a profit off of this."

He turned and noticed Karai and her Foot Ninjas nearby and his smile grew bigger as he started walking toward them. Meanwhile Jade looked around the fish cannery curiously while the Turtles spread out and started searching for Leatherhead.

Don held his left hand next to his mouth as he called out, "Leatherhead, you here?"

Mikey cupped is mouth as he called out, "We're back."

Leo glanced around as he called out, "And we brought someone."

Jade glanced around curiously as she backed up and became afraid when she felt something big behind her. She backed up into Leatherhead, who started growling and Jade nervously looked up at him as he glared down at her with hostility. She turned and backed away from him while he stared at her, his pupils changed to a slit shape and his second eyelids covered his eyes.

He approached Jade as he demanded, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"

Jade let out a cry of shock before the Turtles came to help her; Leo and Raph stood beside Jade while Don and Mikey held Leatherhead back.

Mikey hastily said, "Easy Leatherhead! She's with us!"

Leo looked at Leatherhead as he calmly said, "He's right Leatherhead. This is Jade. She's an old friend of ours. We brought her here because she needs protection."

Leatherhead looked at his friends before looking at Jade and noticing how scared she looked as she stared at him.

His expression softened as his second eyelids went up and his pupils became round as he said, "I am sorry. Sometimes I have trouble controlling myself."

Jade still looked nervous as she said, "Yeah, I can see."

Leo stepped between them and introduced him as he said, "Jade, this is our friend Leatherhead. He's a mutant like us. I know he looks scary and vicious, but he's really kind and gentle."

Mikey smiled as he raised his finger and said, "Yeah, and he's smarter than Don."

Donnie glared at Mikey with an annoyed expression while Jade began to calm down and kept looking at Leatherhead while he smiled.

She staring at him as she curiously said, "So you're a mutant talking alligator?"

He smiled politely as he corrected her, "Actually, I'm a crocodile. But a common mistake."

Jade was amazed as she kept staring at him and said, "Whoa…"

Leatherhead glanced around at the Turtles and started walking as he said, "My friends, I was searching the Federation ship and I found something that might help us."

The Turtles followed him to his laptop and so did Jade; meanwhile Karai and her Foot Ninjas were in an alley as she spoke to a small handheld Communicator that showed Shredder on the screen.

Shredder was angry as he said, "The Turtles are in San Francisco?! They followed us here?!"

Karai spoke seriously as she said, "They attacked us when we were scouting for locations. We escaped them and tried to pursue them, but we lost them."

Shredder glared as he impatiently said, "Karai, the Turtles cannot be allowed to interfere with my plans! We must find them and destroy them!"

Just then, Valmont came with a devious smile and said, "Pardon me, but I couldn't help overhearing."

Sometime later, the Turtles told Jade everything as she said, "Shredder's in San Francisco?!"

Don looked at her and said, "Yeah. He's after that Federation ship, leftover from the alien invasion."

Jade urgently said, "If he's after that thing we gotta stop him! We'd better tell Jackie!"

Leo looked at Jade as he sincerely said, "No Jade, we appreciate your help but this is too dangerous. In fact, we should probably bring you home now."

Jade and Mikey groaned in disappointment, suddenly the windows were shattered and a bunch of Foot Ninjas entered the fish cannery.

Jade cried in shock as Raph glared daggers and said, "The Foot! Let's beat the shell out of them!"

The Turtles immediately started fighting the Foot Ninjas; Don swung his bo staff and knocked a couple out, Raph kicked one and then jabbed another with the handle of his sai. Leo blocked the swords of two Foot Ninjas and then kicked them to the floor, while Mikey swung his nunchucks and knocked two out. Three Foot Ninjas corned Jade as she looked at them in fear, but then Leatherhead stood in front of her as he growled.

His pupils changed to a slit shape and his second eyelids covered his eyes as he ferociously said, "You will not harm her!"

He roared as he punched on in the face and knocked him out, then he grabbed the other two by their shirts and slammed them together. One Foot Ninja came at him from behind, but Leatherhead swung his tail at him and knocked him down, then he grabbed one Foot Ninja and threw him at another.

He roared ferociously and Jade was amazed as she cheered, "Yeah Leatherhead!"

Leatherhead calmed down as his eyes returned to their usual appearance and he smiled at her; all the Foot Ninjas were down and out.

Don looked at the others as he curiously said, "How did the Foot find us?"

Leo shook his head as he seriously said, "I don't know but we can't stay here. We need to get out of here before more show up, and find a safe place to hide."

Jade smiled slyly as she said, "I think I know a place."

Later, Karai and the Foot Ninjas returned to their skyscraper lair with Valmont as they walked into the office and approached the desk.

Valmont smiled as he looked around and said, "My old office. Such precious memories."

They stood in front of the desk as Shredder impatiently asked, "Karai, who is this pickpocket and why have you brought him here?"

Karai spoke respectfully as she said, "Master, this is Mr. Valmont. He provided us information about the Turtles' former hideout and he claims he can help us locate them."

Shredder eyed Valmont as he said, "Valmont, the former head of the Dark Hand. How the mighty have fallen."

Valmont angrily said, "All thanks to that treacherous lizard Shendu and that infernal Jackie Chan!"

Shredder became impatient as he said, "Enough! What information do you have about the Turtles?"

Valmont smiled deviously as he said, "In exchange for a large sum of finances I can provide you the location those strange turtles and Jackie Chan."

Shredder cocked an eyebrow as he curiously said, "Jackie Chan?"

Karai spoke up as she explained, "The Turtles were seen rescuing Chan's niece and she is currently under their protection. We believe they may be planning to unite again."

Shredder looked vexed as he faced Valmont and said, "And what information do you have about this?"

Valmont smiled arrogantly as he said, "I happen to know the location of Chan's uncle's shop, where he and the Turtles are most likely hiding."

Meanwhile at Uncle's shop

Jackie, Uncle, Tohru, and Captain Black were sitting by the counter waiting for the phone to ring as they tried to stay awake.

Suddenly Jade walked in and said, "Hi Jackie."

Their eyes shot open as they saw her by the front door, Jackie ran to her and happily picked up as he said, "Jade! You're alright!"

Jade smiled proudly as she said, "Of course I am."

He put her down and the others gathered beside him as he sternly said, "Where have you been?! We thought Drago had kidnapped you!"

Jade smiled as she folded her arms then pointed her thumb behind her while she said, "He tried but he got a big case of butt whoop! Speaking of which, I brought some friends over."

Right on cue, the Turtles entered through the front door and faced the others while Uncle, Tohru, and Captain Black gasped in shock.

Jackie was amazed as he said, "The… The Turtles?"

Leo showed a friendly smile as he waved at them and said, "Hi everyone."

Mikey smiled as he looked around and said, "Nice place."

Don agreed as he said, "Yeah. Kind of reminds me of April's place."

Jackie was baffled as he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Raph smiled as he said, "Long story short, we're here to stop Shredder."

Jackie became concerned and Uncle pointed at them as he curiously asked, "Is your sensei with you?"

Leo shook his head and faced the door as he said, "No, but we did bring a friend we'd like you to meet."

The Turtles and Jade stepped aside as Leatherhead entered through the door, the others gaped in fear as Uncle yelled, "Aiyah! Giant crocodile!"

Leatherhead spoke sincerely as he said, "Please, do not be afraid. I mean you no arm."

Jade smiled at her family as she pointed at Leatherhead and said, "It's okay. He's a good guy, and he's awesome."

Leatherhead smiled at her while the others began to calm down and then the Turtles started walking toward them. They talked and explained everything as the Turtles and Jade told the others about everything that had happened.

Captain Black showed a serious expression as he said, "So Oroku Saki is in San Francisco."

Don nodded as he said, "Yeah, he's after that Federation ship at the bottom of the bay."

Jackie was impressed as he pointed at them and said, "And you all saved Jade from Drago?"

Raph smiled proudly as he said, "Yeah! Demon boy and his flunkies got nothing on us!"

Jade smiled politely as she said, "So the Turtles and Leatherhead need a place to stay, so I brought them here. Can they…"

Uncle interrupted as he strictly said, "No!"

Jade was disappointed as she whined, "But Uncle…"

He held up his finger as he sternly said, "Turtles and crocodile can not stay here! This is antique store, not hotel!"

Jackie looked at Uncle as he reasonably said, "But Uncle, we can't just leave them on the street."

While they were talking Leo curiously turned and looked outside and urgently said, "Guys, we may have a problem!"

Suddenly the windows shattered as a bunch of Foot Ninjas broke in and drew weapons as they stared at everyone.

Jade was alarmed as she said, "Oh shell!"

Jackie was shocked as he said, "Bad day!"

The Turtles drew their weapons while Leatherhead's eyes changed and he growled viciously, and the Chans stood in fighting stances. The Foot attacked them but the two teams countered and together they defeated them fairly quickly. Leo used his swords to disarm one Foot Ninja before kicking him and knocking him out, while Jackie fought two Foot Ninjas, blocking their attacks before kicking them to the floor. Raph and Mikey defeated two Foot Ninjas together as they knocked them out with their weapons while Donnie whirled his bo and knocked two of them out. Captain Black fought one Foot Ninja as he punched him in the face three times before knocking him to the floor. One Foot Ninja had Jade cornered when he swung his sword at her, but she dodged it and then jumped off a chair and kicked him in the face. Leatherhead roared as he punched one Foot Ninja to the ground, swung his tail at a second, and grabbed a third one and threw him at the wall. Tohru yelled in ferocity as he grabbed two Foot Ninjas and threw them at a couple of others, knocking them all down. One Foot Ninja came at Uncle, but he jabbed him in the stomach before punching him and knocking him out.

Uncle clinched his fists and fiercely said, "Who else wants a piece of Uncle?"

All of the Foot Ninjas were defeated and they had no choice but to retreat as they left the shop and made their way to the rooftops.

The Turtles smiled victoriously as Mikey cheered, "Shell we're good!"

She shop was a mess and many antiques were destroyed as Uncle said, "Aiiee-yaaaahh! My shop is in shambles!"

Don looked around as he sympathetically said, "Just be thankful Shredder didn't bring his entire army with him. This damage isn't as bad as when the Foot destroyed April's place."

Uncle glared at the Turtles and Leatherhead as he raised his finger and angrily yelled, "Turtles and crocodile cannot stay here!"

Leo looked at his brothers and Leatherhead as he said, "Uncle's right guys. If we stay here we're putting the Chans in danger. We need to find a safer hideout."

Captain Black approached them as he smiled slyly and said, "And I know just the place."

Later Captain Black, Jackie, and Jade brought the Turtles and Leatherhead to Section 13 as they came out of an elevator and walked down a corridor. As they walked some Section 13 agents couldn't help but stare at the Turtles in Leatherhead as they gaped at them, which made the mutants a bit nervous. Captain Black, Jackie, and Jade lead the Turtles and Leatherhead to a railing where they had a full view of the facility.

Captain Black smiled at the Turtles and Leatherhead as he respectfully said, "Turtles, Leatherhead, welcome to Section 13. Until we can stop Shredder, you and your secrets will be safe here."

The Turtles and Leatherhead looked around in awe as Mikey happily said, "This place is awesome!"

Don happily smiled at the others as he said, "I'm with Mikey! Very cool!"

Leo smiled at Captain Black with appreciation as he said, "Thanks Captain Black. It's nice to have friends to help us out in this mission away from home."

Jackie looked at the Turtles with a friendly smile as he said, "Consider it our way of thanking you for all the good you've done for us."

Raph smiled as he looked around and curiously said, "Enough of this mushy stuff, where do we sleep?"

Jade smiled happily as she pointed her thumb at Jackie and said, "That's easy! You'll bunk with me and Jackie in our room."

Jackie suddenly looked nervous as tried to speak up, but Mikey interrupted and happily said, "Nice! Family reunion!"

Mikey high-fived Jade and then Raph smiled and pointed at her while he said, "Jade, you are the bomb!"

Don smiled down at her as he happily said, "Yeah, thanks."

Leo smiled as he folded his arms and said, "This place is starting to feel like home."

Jackie's eyes widened in shock and fright as he frantically said, "Raising Jade is hard enough! Now I have to watch four mutant Turtles?!"

Captain Black smiled at Jackie as he said, "Yep, you really are a family man Jackie."

Jackie sighed in exasperation; meanwhile the Foot Ninjas had returned to Shredder in his office with Shredder, Hun, Stockman, Karai, and Valmont looking at them.

One of the Foot Ninjas spoke and reported, "The Turtles were at the old man's shop, but they and the Chans were too much for us."

Stockman glared at Valmont as he arrogantly said, "We should never have listened to this common criminal!"

Stockman glared at him while Shredder showed displeasure and said, "The Turtles will never return there again."

Valmont smiled slyly as he said, "I believe I know where Chan may have taken them. I could tell you where so you can send your Foot soldiers to take care of them."

Shredder glared daggers as he said, "No! With our limited numbers my Foot Ninjas are no match for the Turtles and Chan's family together. We must find a way to keep them from interfering with my plans!"

Karai approached Shredder as she respectfully said, "Master, if I may, while we were searching through San Francisco we did see the Turtles face four strange creatures that may be of use to us. We have been tracking them since then."

Shredder was intrigued as he said, "Bring these creatures to me."

Sometime later, Karai and some Foot Ninjas lead Drago and his team into the office as they walked up to Shredder's desk.

Drago looked around as he said, "I know this place. Dad spent time here when he was stuck as a statue."

Valmont nervously stared at Drago as he softly said, "Blast."

Drago and his team stopped as he glared at Shredder and impatiently said, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Shredder smiled deviously as he said, "I am Oroku Saki, but you may call me 'the Shredder'. I believe that you and I may be of use to each other."

To Be Continued

Author's note: That's the end of the first half. I thought it would be great to have the Turtles fight Drago and his team. And I thought it would be funny to have Jackie freak out about having the Turtles live with him. In the second half he'll learn how Splinter feels. I also thought it would be good to put Leatherhead in this story. He'll be a big help in the second half and Jade will be really nice to him. We'll also see the Talismans and some other magic stuff in the second half. I have big plans for the second half but I won't spoil anything else. Please review.
