OK here should be the last chapter of set up, hopefully we should be able to get into the actual meat of the chapter soon I also got to remember the simple rules of how the day/night cycle works explained in a Muppet Babies Storybook of all things that when it's day on one side of the world it's night on the other so if it's morning in Japan it should be night in New York
At daybreak the next day and unarmed retainer met the Mutant Students at the water-level entrance to the Castle Taninjatsu, he first loaded a body onto the boat (The body was was neatly wrapped in two pieces, body and head it sent a chill down the Mutants' spines)
Then the unarmed retainer led them silently through the castle. After passing through a number of courtyards, stairs and hallways they finally arrived at a long underground hallway. Every 30 feet along the hall is a large metal door, the retainer said "Each of these doors leads to the Death Traps of the White Ronin. Please remember that everything you need to escape will already be in the room. Your wit and skill are all that are needed to escape. Just stand in front of the door you choose, it will open presently."
Meanwhile in New York, Great Tiger was crossing over the bridge that led into forest...Even for a man who lived and breathed magic like himself...There really was something about stepping into this strange new world of the mutants...Like stepping into a fairy tale where the animals lived in apartments built right into the trees! Great Tiger hoped this would help other humans see the interconnectedness of all life!
But he knew he couldn't dilly-dally and admire the sights, he had come here to find a specific mutant...One who was technically Leonardo's student but had barely been sent on any missions because she was deemed too...Flighty...As she had hosted a webcam show in her home country of England it seemed she really just wasn't cut out to be a warrior...But Great Tiger was already beginning to suspect there was another reason the White Ronin hadn't asked for this particular Mutant.
Seeing she lived in one of the mid-level tree apartments, rather than knock on the door at the ground level of the tree, Great Tiger decided he would simply float over to her window and knock and hope she was home…
A beautiful slinky Black Cat Mutant came over to the window at first surprised to see a human floating but when she got closer and recognized who it was, she chuckled and opened her window.
"Well Great Tiger…" She purred "...What brings you to Forest? It isn't every day I get Gentleman Callers? If you come to the mid-level door I can let you in…"
"That won't be necessary…" Great Tiger said as he teleported into her apartment
"And that brings me to the reason I'm here…" Great Tiger said "...For as I recall YOU Isis Putney have the ability to teleport as well…"
Meanwhile Donatello came to the lair to meet his brothers, he found Raph and Mikey in the lair and he asked them where Leo was and right away, the sorrowful looks on their faces told him something wasn't right.
"Leo ain't here…" Raph said "...And he hasn't been here since yesterday."
Don had come ready to rally his other brothers in a confrontation against Leo...But now different alarm bells were going off, that Leo knew what he was doing was wrong and...Might be about to do something desperate.
"Where do you think he is?" Don asked
Mikey said "All the other students said the school has been locked since we sent our A-Team to Japan…"
The other three brothers rushed to the school in forest, Don easily picked the padlock, Leo wasn't exactly going to program a fancy electronic lock himself. They entered and went to Leo's office in the school...And instantly they were hit with the overwhelming aroma of...Sake?
"Oh...Shell…" Raph said "...This ain't good."
Indeed it wasn't because out of all of them Leo was the one who couldn't hold his liquor like...At all. Kind of further showed they weren't blood relatives as they were too genetically different.
Raph was about to bust down the door...But Don tested it and saw it wasn't locked…
"Oh...Leo…" Don said his heart breaking
There in his chair...Snoring in a drunken heap was Leo...
So this shows why this story is T for Teen, not the most overtly adult but references mature things as ways adults cope with stressful situations also reveal Isis' last name
