“This is Da Vanci, come in Von Ryan.”

“Othello Von Ryan at your service. How are we getting through the gate?”

“With luck, stealth, and hopefully as few casualties as possible.”

“For the record, I was the mastermind behind this operation.”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way DeeDee. Now hush, I’m breaching the perimeter.”

Leonardo and Donatello, or as they were at the moment, Da Vinci and Othello Von Ryan, are on an undercover mission. Something of Leo’s was stolen from Leo’s personal wall vault, and like the caring twin he was, Donnie volunteered to help him get it back. They weren't blackmailed or bribed in the slightest.

Leo was picking his way into a shipping yard on the human side of New York. He was literally a stone’s throw away from New Jersey. He was planning to go on his mission solo, but Donnie used his twin-telepathy against Leo and tagged along.

“Alright I’m in. Da Vinci going silent. Von Ryan stand by.”

“Roger that. I hacked into the security feed. Stay safe Leo.”

“Always am Don.”

Leo switched off his comms and crept through the gate. He went full ninja stealth mode through the compound. It wasn’t a human shipyard. There were yokai all over with heavy guns. Still no match for him and his odachi. He kept moving forward until he found a large open room with one of the infamous yokai mafia bosses issuing orders.

“He should be here any minute now. Be ready.”

Who’s this he? Leo switched his comms back on only to be met with a cold barrel to the back of his head and his twin brother’s screaming.

“IT’S A TRAP! NO, LEO! I’M COMING, DON’T WORRY!”

Leo was forced to his feet and was pushed forward. His sword was yanked from his hand.

“Well well well. Leonardo Venus Nexus. Fancy seeing you here. Where’s your mommy? No brothers with you? Take that thing from his head.”

Leo’s headset was ripped from his head. Leo didn’t say a word, but his glare said every venomous thing he was thinking.

“Well, silent partner. Looks like the Young Master Nexus doesn’t have anybody coming for him.”

“FIBONACCI/LIKE A BOSS/HOT SOUP!”

Leo smirked at the mafia boss's face as all three of his brothers came smashing through the window.

“Thanks for the warm welcome, but I really must be going. Mother hates when I’m late for supper.”

Leo spoke in a slight British accent to really annoy his would-be captors. He kicked his leg back to knock the man holding him at gunpoint and snatched his sword back. He ran toward the leader and sliced a portal under his feet and transported him to the Sahara desert.

“Anyone else want to go to the desert?!”

He was rushed from all directions.

“Bring it on!”

Leo sent as many as he could to the desert and other random places, but had to incapacitate a few. One he left conscious was in Raph’s hold.

“Where is it?”

“Where’s what?!”

“What your people stole from my room! You don’t steal from me and not face the Nexus Wrath. Donnie.”

“On it.”

Donnie pressed a few buttons on his tech box and a huge array of sharp needles and knives and spikes burst forth.

“Tell me where it is, and my beloved twin won’t skewer you alive.”

“Okay okay okay! It-it’s in crate 34-2D! Please don’t kill me!”

“Raph.”

“Yup.”

Raph tossed him over his shoulder into the still open portal to the desert. Leo snapped his finger to close the portal and started tearing through the warehouse for the one specific crate.

He heard his brothers helping him search, but also grilling Donnie for answers. They did drag their brothers from their Jupiter Jim moviethon to help him save Leo.

“I found it!”

Leo instantly portalled to Mikey and tore through the crate. Four wrapped presents; red with a pink heart pattern, purple with repeating binary spelling out “Twins Forever,” orange with paint brushes and cooking utensils, and black with golden pyramids. Next to the presents was a picture frame of Donnie and Leo at Hueso’s pizzeria and a family portrait made by the beautifully artistic Michelangelo.

Raph: “This is what you have in your safe?”

“Yep. Everything important to me is kept in my vault. It’s fireproof, water proof, and electricity proof. Everything I don’t want damaged is kept in the vault.”

Raph was beaming with pride and the other two were smirking.

“Well well. That is very touching, Baby-shell. However, I’d like to know why you didn’t tell me before you went galavanting through New York?”

Big Mama stood behind the brothers with Suzie and Godric. Leo and Donnie were fourteen, Mikey was thirteen, Raph was fifteen, and Suzie was eighteen. Suzie’s youngest championship satisfied her and she was training under Godrick to be her little brother’s bodyguard.

Leo gave his mother a sheepish smile as he was pulled into a hug.

“Sorry Mama, I was successful in my mission though.”

“Yes. So successful that a gun was pointed directly at your shell for five minutes before your brothers arrived.”

“Yeah, well…um…”

“Grounded. Three weeks. You three are also grounded, but since you saved Leonardo, only one week. No electronics, no skateboarding, no going out, and you are helping the maids with afterhours cleaning. Am I understood boys?”

“Yes Mama.”

Leo accepted his fate with the grace and humility that he learned from her, but was complaining up a storm in his thoughts.
