So...In this chapter we're going to take a break from Ichabod and Marzipan because we can presume they're just going to spend the rest of the day having fun without much incident, this story is a redo of a 'doodle story' I had of in the early version it was just Mikey rescuing a Mutant Hairless Sphynx from the sewage drowning pit, in the early version the Mutant Cat was just a loner vigilante who wanted to do things by herself, here I think the story is much more improved as here Stripes felt she had to do it alone because she feared she would put everyone else in danger if she got them involved in her struggles

And sure enough from the pipes came a nauseating smell and out flowed at first a slow trickle of nasty brown sludge, Stripes wasn't sure she could hold back from barfing, as a nurse she had been trained to deal with all sorts of unpleasant things about the body but...Not this much of it!

In her terror, she didn't notice one of the pipes wasn't expelling sewage...Neither did Luminous as he was too busy enjoying watching Stripes' anguish, but in conceiving the most degrading way to dispose of her, he had neglected that the pipes that were all connected to the sewers, were the home of the Ninja Turtles…

But then Stripes' ears twitched when she heard a grunt to the right, she turned her head and saw Mikey! The entire front half of his body was sticking out of one of the pipes!

"Ugh!" Mikey groaned as he struggled to squeeze his larger adult body through the pipe "Stupid...Can't get my grown-up body through this pipe! This would have been no problem in my teen bod!"

Fortunately, his brothers were on the other side pushing to get him through, Raph probably was the one who gave the final thing needed by giving Mikey a little poke with his Sai...

Mikey yelped as he popped through.

"Mikey!" The Mutant Tigress Exclaimed "How...What about the sewage coming through that pipe?!"

"Donny got the sewage blocked for a few minutes so while we figured out how to come through…." Mikey said as he rubbed his rear end "But otherwise we've been walking in the sewers our whole lives, it's you know...The water we swim in…"

Stripes felt very stupid for forgetting that.

Meanwhile the other three brothers knowing they would also have trouble getting through the pipe, realized that they could use a little of the sewage to...Grease their side to make it easier for them to pop through the pipe, disgusting but they had experienced worse in the sewers...Of course they knew they would have to wash thoroughly when this was over…

"Fools!" Luminous exclaimed "Don't you realize I can just knock you all out with my luminous bulb…" He let out another flash of bright light from his bulb head, but it didn't work they were all still standing...Then Luminous realized to his horror that the glass he was standing behind dulled the flash enough that it couldn't effect anyone on the other side...And it's not like he could open it or break a hole in this shatter proof glass.

His best hope now was to flee and hope they couldn't figure a way out before they drowned but he knew with the Ninja Turtles that would be very unlikely…

Meanwhile in Scruffles Penthouse, the Mutant Maltese Pup heard the doorbell, she opened the door to see her Garter Snake with two flower pots each one holding a plant with a tightly sealed bud.

"Hi!" Lovelace said "Happy Early Birthday! I got these for you!"

"Oh!" Scruffles exclaimed as she had never seen plants like those "What are they?"

"Not sure…" Lovelace said as she slithered in "...I was hoping you could tell me, I found them they seem to only open up at night…"

"A night blooming flower!" Scruffles exclaimed with her expertise on flowers she of course knew those kinds of flowers existed but she had never cultivated any for herself…

So this was mostly a chapter for the Turtles and the other Mutant Animals as a break from the Humanimals and First Earth
