It was a foggy night, way out at sea, a ship was coming to the harbor. The captain walks into the control room. "Three degrees north-northeast." He ordered.
"Three degrees north-northeast, captain," One of the crew mates report.
"Should be smooth sailing into the harbor." He takes off his hat to wipe off some sweat. "Once we get through this fog." But, they weren't the only ones in the water. Something was following them.
It hits the boat, causing everyone fall to the floor.
"We've hit something, sir. It wasn't there a second ago." A crew mate explained in confusion.
"That's impossible!" The captain exclaimed.
"Captain, we have a breach! We're going down, sir!"
"All hands, abandon ship, abandon ship!" Suddenly, the roof of the ship is taken apart above the captain. The captain looks up in fear and he screams as his hat falls off. The ship begins to sink into the ocean, but, the rest of the crew managed to get on lifeboats just in time.
Mona slowly opened her eyes. She felt extremely exhausted her muscles ached in places she never felt before and for some reason the lower half of her body hurt. Suddenly, events from last night came flooding in her mind as she remembered. She blushes.
She never knew that Raph had a gentle side to him. The way he was holding and hugging her gently in his arms as if he was protecting her from the world around them. She remembered the kisses he placed on every inch of her body as he kissed her passionately.
Then she felt a stinging pain in her neck and reached out to rub it. She felt a small bite on it.
"Hey, beautiful." A voice calls out. She rolled over on her side to see Raph resting on his arm, holding his head beside her. He smiles.
Mona stared back into his forest green eyes completely lost in them. Then she moves in closer and snuggles close to his plastron.
Raph laughs softly "That was some night, huh?" He asked rubbing his head sheepishly.
Mona smiled looking up at him. He sits up and she does so as well.
"I'm going to take a shower." Raph stands up about to leave until he feels something grab his hand. He looks down to see Mona "Don't worry, kid. I'll be back then you can take one as well." Raph stops for a moment then smirks "Unless you want to join me? "
Mona faces turns completely red and she hid under the covers.
He chuckles then starts to walk away. He stops at the entrance before looking back to see Mona peeking out from the blanket. Raph covers his face while trying to his his blush.
"Mona, I'm not great with words, but last night... " Raph pauses before continuing " That was the best night in my entire life. " She felt her heart flutter at what he said.
He smiles then walks out of the room, leaving Mona to herself.
Under the blankets Mona smiled to herself while holding a hand close to her heart.
It was the best night for her as well.
In the lair, a TV was on, talking about the incident. "In the third such incident in the last month, the freighter has disappeared without a trace in New York Harbor. This brings the total number of ships lost in this way, to 15."
Donnie was standing nearby the pool and the others looked at something that was underneath a curtain.
"Your attention, please, let the ceremony begin!" Donnie exclaimed as Mikey pulls off the curtain to reveal a submarine.
"I christen thee," Donnie throws a bucket of water. "The Shell Sub!" It hits the sub.
"Excellent work my son," Splinter said. "It makes one think of the giant undersea turtle of Japanese mythology."
"Now that the underwater access way is completely finished, it's time to take the Shell Sub on her maiden voyage." Donnie explained as Mikey jumps up and down.
"Can I launch her? Can I?! Can I?!" Mikey asked excitedly. He pushes Donnie out of the way and presses buttons.
"Careful, Mikey, if you even put one scratch on it-!" Donnie warned.
Mikey laughs. The Shell Sub comes down and lands in the pool with a big splash. Leo, Raph, Yuuki, Mona, Venus, and Splinter are soaked.
"Thanks a lot, Mikey." Raph growled.
"Just what I needed, another bath," Splinter deadpans and he begins to shake off the water like a dog. The others covered their eyes as he did.
"Dibs on the first ride!" Mikey exclaimed. He jumps onto the sub. "First Mate Michaelangelo, read to launch, sir! Ahhooga! Ahhooga! Dive, dive! Torpedoes away!" Then he jumps inside.
"Mikey's my first mate. Wish me luck." Donnie replied, reluctantly.
Venus walked up to him "Can I come?" She asked.
"Yes, of course! Anything than being alone with Mikey!" Donnie quickly answered, gratefully.
As Venus and Donnie jumped down into the sub. They see Mikey messing around with the buttons and controls. "Ooh, Britannia, Britannia, rules the waves, I don't know the words to this stinky song," Donnie shoots Venus a glance and she shakes her head. The olive green turtle steps up to him. "All I know is, Britannia-" He slaps Mikey on the arm.
"Ow!"
"Initiating launch sequence." Donnie flicks a lever and presses a button.
"Release umbilical," Mikey pulls a lever in front of him.
"Umbilical release!" The cords around the sub released themselves.
"Blowing ballast tanks," He pulls another lever and the sub sinks. "Dive, dive, dive!"
"This is very, very cool!" Mikey comments.
"Let's take her deeper," Donnie said as he pushes the control lever forward. As they drive further, they notice a sunken ship. "Look at all that."
"Wow, S.S Putney," Mikey squints as he reads off the ship.
"The S.S Putney was an old whaler back in the turn of the century, when New York was the greatest seaport in the world." Donnie explained as he drives along the ship.
"Donnie, what is that?" Mikey questioned pointing to the screen.
Everyone sees a car driving on the bottom of the ocean, dragging something along.
"It's a car," Donnie answered hesitantly.
"Um, what's that car doing at the bottom of the river?" Mikey asked.
"About 20 miles per hour," Donnie answered. The car stops at the sunken ship and begins to take off parts of it.
"Actually it looks like it's salvaging for parts." Donnie explained. The car drives away.
"Let's check it out." Donnie said. They follow above the car as it drives. Then they see more cars driving with salvaged parts, all going in one direction.
"Figures that New York got a traffic problem, even at the bottom of the river." Mikey pointed out.
"But where are they all...whoa," Donnie starts, but he stops when he sees that the cars are going to an underwater city.
"You don't suppose that could be Atlantis, do you, Donnie?" Mikey questioned.
"Atlantis is a myth. And even if it isn't, I don't think it's a suburb of New York," Donnie explained.
Donnie drives the sub closer, and they see an metal landfill with trash everywhere. The cars were going inside of it.
"That's not Atlantis, it's Junklantis." Mikey comments.
"Let's just back off a bit. This is getting really creepy," Donnie replied. Then Mikey notices something.
"Um, I think it's just got creepier!"
Two metal arms grab onto the Shell Sub. It revealed to be an large ship, resembling an whale.
"What is that?!" Mikey asked.
"I don't know, but it's got us!" Donnie exclaimed. The three screamed as it prepares to eat them. The ship puts the Shell Sub in its mouth and everything went dark. The only light, was coming from inside the Shell Sub.
"Okay, this is officially one of the creepiest experiences of my life!" Mikey shouted in fear.
As they continued forward, a door closes behind them. The only way to go was up. The sub surfaces to a room. There were pipes running along everywhere, two water wells and a tower. A door opens up and three shadowy figures emerges from it.
"Now what?" Mikey asked.
"Come on, let's go." Donnie tells him.
"Donatello, I don't think that's such a good idea. I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
"Just stay behind me."
They step out of the sub and the figures come closer.
"Uh..." Donnie said, nervously. The light that was coming from the door was blinding. Donnie places a hand over his eyes. "We come in peace?"
More people came but also carrying weapons with electricity.
Mikey leans in Donnie's ear. "Forget coming in peace," Then he turns to the men. "I really wish we brought our weapons," He smiles nervously. "Sooo, kind of wet out today."
The men takes them deeper inside of the ship. Mikey speaks. "I feel like Jonah trapped on this whale thingy. Where do you think they're taking us?"
"I have a feeling we're about to find out," Donnie answered.
The ship surfaces but this time they are inside the metal land field they saw earlier. It stops in front of a bridge and the mouth opens. Donnie, Mikey and Venus step walking in between the men.
"Time to kick our way out of this freak show?" Mikey asked.
"Not yet. We don't even know where we are," Donnie pointed out and he gets pushed. "Hey!"
They see workers moving around ship parts and wielding them together.
"This is amazing," Donnie said in awe.
They stop moving and Mikey bumps into the man in front. The bump causes him to back into the man behind him and he gets pushed forward. Mikey sniffs the air.
"Which one of you is wearing the au de fish? It's kind of nasty," He complained.
"Mikey, Venus, Look!" Donnie pointed upwards towards a control panel where someone is sitting there. He turns around, revealing to be the Garbageman. He is now wearing a captain's hat and controlling a mobile machine with robot arms.
"You," He said angrily, pointing a finger at them.
"Whose the fat slob?" Venus asked. Donnie covers her mouth.
"The Garbage Man?" He asked as he stared in disbelief.
"But he went into the river," Mikey said, confused. Then he realizes. "In this river."
"Yes, this river. My river." Garbageman confirms.
"What is all this?" Donnie demanded.
"Silence!" The Garbageman shouted, holding up a hand. His workers shock the three of them and they fall to the ground. Donnie rubs his head.
"First rule, my friends, I talk, you listen. You know, I should thank you for setting me on this path," He grabs the three with his robot arms, lifting them up. "Sending me to the river opened my eyes to a world of hidden treasure just waiting to be salvaged. So, thank you."
"You're not welcome." Donnie retorted.
"I'm actually pleased that you're here. I've often wondered what you are. Now I'll be able to find out," The man said as he smiles.
"Sir, our men on the docks said the target is weighing anchor." A worker informed.
"Perfect." He lets go of the three and they drop onto the ground, hard. "Everything is on schedule. Assemble the men. I wish to speak to them," The worker bows and walks away. The Garbageman gestures to the three. "Take these three to the brig and hold them there. I want to dissect them later." He laughs evilly.
Below the ship, Donnie, Mikey and Venus are being led into the brig. A worker opens a door as they walk inside.
"You know, Mikey, I think now is the right time for what we talked about earlier," Donnie said.
"Sounds good to me!" Mikey answered.
Mikey grabs the arm of a worker and throws him over his shoulder. Donnie turns and kicks another from behind. Another worker comes and tries to shock them. Venus grabs the door and slams him right in his face as he walks into it. He falls to the ground, knocked out. Mikey almost gets shocked from behind by a worker and another one comes after him as well. He ducks and the two shock each other. Mikey laughs and pushes them to the ground.
The workers were now out of their uniforms, lying in the jail cell, groaning in pain. Mikey closes wearing a guard's uniform, Venus wearing one as well. Donnie puts on a helmet, concealing his face.
"Aren't you a little short for a junk trooper?" Mikey jokes.
"Very funny,"
"Come on, let's find our way out of this madhouse." Donnie said and the two follow him.
The Garbageman is talking to his henchmen in his control room. "You, my followers, know that I believe that garbage is power. And our salvaging the various wrecks and refuse littering the bottom of the sea has proven my words. We have grown in power and strength," Donnie, Mikey and Venus peeked from behind the crowd. "We no longer have to pick the leavings on the bottom. Now we make our own wrecks from salvage. We have sunk ship after ship, unchallenged."
"And our next prize awaits on the surface. A cruise ship, loaded with wealth."
Donnie, Mikey, and Venus glance at each other silently.
"A cruise ship," Donnie murmured.
"All those innocent people," Mikey said.
"And no one can stop us! No one!" The workers cheered. The three look in worry.
"We have to stop him, Donatello." Venus whispered.
"We will." Donnie reassured.
The Garbageman wheels on the bridge leading to the whale ship. "This cruise ship will be our greatest prize yet!" He laughs evilly, stepping into the ship, his workers following. "Once more into the bridge!"
Donnie, Mikey and Venus watch from nearby.
"Now's our chance, come on." Donnie said. The three run behind the workers and the Garbageman, following after them. Then they see the Shell Sub nearby, right where they left it when they were captured.
"Hey, there's the Shell Sub, let's take it and get out of here," Mikey suggests.
"We have to stop the Garbageman from sinking that cruise ship! Come on," Donnie tells him.
"Target dead ahead!" The Garbageman exclaimed as he sees the cruise ship on the screen. "Prepare to send her to the bottom!"
The ship was getting closer and closer to the ship. "Activate tentacle arms. Full speed to the surface!"
Tentacle arms appear from the ship and the mouth opens. "Brace for impact!"
"Better make our move now," Donnie tells Mikey and Venus. They grab two workers and throw them into the water. The three take off their uniforms and jump up. They roll into a ball, knocking some workers down as well. Mikey grabs the weapon and throws the worker aside. Donnie flips one over and kicks one down, grabbing the weapon. He twirls it and shocks one. Mikey jumps over to him. More workers show up. "Get them!"
Donnie and Mikey face palmed and groaned. As the workers run towards the three, going through the door the workers came from. Mikey presses a button, closing the door and they run upstairs. They see the cruise ship on screen.
"We've got to turn this thing around somehow!" Donnie said.
"Somehow, I think that's gonna be a lot harder than it sounds," Mikey replied as he points to more workers coming. The Garbageman sees them.
"Get this trash of my bridge!"
"You freaks!" The Garbageman descends. "This time you won't escape!" He stops in front of them and raises one of his claws. He grabs Donnie.
"Don!"
"Donatello!"
They both shouted.
"Mikey, Venus, the oxygen tanks!" Donnie tells them as he struggles. Mikey and Venus turn to see the oxygen tank.
"Got it!" They run over to the tanks and Mikey grabs one. He slides under the Garbageman. "Time to ventilate, crab boy!"
He chops the bottom of it and air comes out, lifting the Garbageman up in surprise. He crashes into the ceiling and falls back onto the ground, dropping Donnie. Donnie runs over to the controls.
"Okay, this must be the acceleration module."
"Accelerate it somewhere else, we're about to hit that ship!" Mikey exclaimed, pointing to the screen. Donnie sweats as he tries to turn the ship.
"Come on, come on!"
He manages to find the lever, just as they were going to hit the ship. The ship flies in the air, before landing back in the water, driving away from the cruise ship. The turn makes the three fall to the floor.
"Okay, that was good. Now how about stopping it?" Mikey asked.
"I got a better idea," Donnie stands up. "Let's bag two birds with one stone, shall we?"
"A little change of course and voila!" The ship starts to drive towards the landfill.
"You're wicked! I like it," Mikey said. The Garbageman shouted from behind, now awake. They jump out of the way from his claws. It hits the control panel. The ship is moving closer to the landfill. The three jump out of the way from the claws again.
"Hold still, you-!" He raises his claws to strike again, but Donnie, Mikey, and Venus jump out of the way again. The claw hits the control panel, causing it to shock him. The Garbageman backs away into the oxygen tanks.
"Now that was really shocking!" Mikey comments.
"We've got to get out of here!" Donnie said. The ship was now getting more closer to the landfill.
"To the Shell Sub, boy wonder!" Mikey exclaimed. Donnie and Venus follow after him.
They descended down the stairs. "Get the doors open, while I get the Shell Sub powered up!" Donnie called out.
"Get the doors open? But won't that flood the room?" Mikey questioned.
"Duh! The Shell Sub doesn't float in the air, Mikey. Now let's move it!" Donnie enters the sub and Venus jumped in as well, while Mikey turns to the control, completely flustered and nervous. There were so many buttons. Which one was the right one? Maybe this one...He presses one, but nothing happens.
"Come on, come on! Start!" Donnie muttered as he tries to start up the sub. Outside, Mikey randomly flicks and presses the buttons on the control panel, but sill nothing works. Then Mikey grabs a pipe and slams it down on the control panel. The doors open and water began to flood into the room. Mikey jumps in, closing the hatch, soaking wet.
"Donnie, hurry up!" Mikey exclaimed.
"I can't get the engines to start!"
The ship was about to hit the landfill.
"Start, come on!"
"We're gonna hit!" Mikey yells.
"Come on, come on!" Donnie exclaimed as he frantically tries to start the sub, sweating. The Shell Sub starts up.
"Hang on!"
Mikey cheers as they got out of the ship.
"This is it!" They managed to swim away with the sub just in time as the ship hits the landfill, causing an explosion. They get caught from the blast and get shaken and thrown to the side. The sub manages to get out and drive away.
"We made it, guys!" Donnie exclaimed.
"Yeah, but I think I left my stomach back there," Mikey whines, rubbing his stomach.
"Don't sweat it. I'll build you a new one." Donnie replied. As the Shell Sub swims away, something else was following behind them as well. A ship. It was the Garbageman. He screams in anger and slams them from behind. Donnie, Mikey and Venus looked behind them to see water leaking inside. They turn to see the Garbageman in front of them.
"It's him, the Garbageman!" Donnie exclaimed.
"That guy doesn't know when to give up!" Mikey shouted.
"We whooped him once, Mikey. We can do it again." Donnie said.
"Deploying depth charges," Donnie said, flicking the lever above him.
"We have depth charges?" Mikey asked in surprise. "Sweet!"
The depth charges pop out of the sub from behind. The Shell Sub speeds away before they exploded. The Garbageman continues to chase after them.
"Hang on, this is going to get rough!"
The Shell Sub stops near a trench and The Garbageman drives right past them as they did.
"Arming torpedoes."
The Garbageman turns around heading towards them. "I'll destroy you!" He laughs, evilly.
"He's too close!" Mikey shouted.
"Setting the detonation at ten yards," Donnie said. He flicks the lever setting up another charge.
"You lose, turtles!" The Garbageman yells as he grabs the Shell Sub with his claws. The claws begin to crush the sub.
"Fire torpedoes!" Donnie presses a button and the torpedoes explode behind the Garbageman. He lets go of the sub and they drive away as the Garbageman's ship crashes near the edge of the trench.
"No, no, noooo! Not agaaain!" He shouted as his ship sinks to the bottom of the trench. Donnie, Mikey and Venus watched as it did. Mikey sighs in relief.
They drive away.
In the lair, Raph was lifting his barbell, Leo was watching. They hear a noise and turn to see the Shell Sub resurfacing. Donnie opens the top and starts to get out.
"It's about time you guys surfaced. We were getting worried." Leo replied as he and Raph walked up. Raph sees the damage on the sub.
"Whoa, what happened?" He questioned.
"Long story, guys, a very long story."
