*Izzy's P.O.V.*

We were on our way to a restaurant April suggested to us to visit. Not wanting to be seen, we sneaked around in the shadows and moved on the rooftops. We continued with our traveling ways until April turned around with an annoyed glare with her hand on her hip. "You guys want to speed it up a little?" She asked in annoyance. "Are you saying turtles are slow?" Donnie asked her behind movie ticket booth offended.

April looked over her shoulder in surprise and turned around to face him. "That's a hurtful stereotype." Mikey added against the opposite side of the booth, with Raph next to him . "Trust us, April. We are better off keeping a low profile." Leo said against the wall in front of Mikey and Raph. "We find people treat us better when they don't know we exist." He added. April blinked in surprise before smiling. "Sorry! I'm just so excited to get you out of the sewer for a change."

"What are you talking about?" Raph asked with a frown. "We go out all the time." He added before I jumped down from the ticket booth's roof shade, landing in front of April, surprising her. "Yeah, like every night." I said with a smirk. April blinked in surprise before frowning at me. "You're in human form, not turtle or wolf or any other animal you can turn into. Why are you sneaking around like a ninja and hiding?"

I smiled brightly and answered. "Because it is fun!" April rolled her eyes at me with a laugh before looking over to Raph. "Anyway, tonight you're going to do something besides hitting people." "Aww!" Both Raph and I groaned in disappointment, getting a laugh from Jack, who was sitting on a street light before flying down and landed next to me. "I'll take you out on a snow day to cheer you up." He said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek, making me smile and blush.

"Don't worry. You're going to love this noodle place I found." April said as she looked to me with a smile. "Are you talking about Mr. Murakami's restaurant?" I asked, getting a nod from her as an answer. "And you're sure we'll be welcome?" Donnie asked us a bit nervous. "Totally! For sure!" I said as I laid my head against Jack's shoulder as he tightened his arm around my waist.

"Oh, yeah! Mr. Murakami doesn't care what you look like. In fact, he won't even know what you look like. He's blind." April answered. "Awesome!" Mikey cheered before grunting after Raph slapped him behind the head. Mikey frowned for a second before smiling nervously as he soon realized what he said. "I mean, for us obviously." He soon added with a nervous smile.

***

We soon got to the restaurant, but we weren't met with a pretty sight. As we got closer, we heard grunting of pain and glass shuttering, as well seeing poor Mr. Murakami getting shoved around. "Oh no!" April cried and run towards the restaurant, rest of us following after. "Purple Dragons!" I growled out in anger as my hands formed into fists. "Who are those creeps?" Donnie asked with a slight frown and glare.

"The Purple Dragons." April answered with a glare. "Wanna be gangsters!" I added with a death glare. "They think they own the streets around here." April added. "So much for not hitting people tonight." Leo said with a half smirk as he looked over to Raph and I. "Oh well!" Raph said with a smirk, while I smirked as well and cracked my knuckles.

"Booyakasha!" Mikey cried out as well jumped and rolled into the restaurant and stood in battle stance, catching the Purple Dragons by surprise at stared at us in shock. "All right, let him go. You don't want any trouble." Leo ordered and warned them with a glare. "We, on the other hand, do." Raph said as he, Mikey, Jack and I smirked.

"Whoa, those guys were serious. There really are giant turtles." Fong, the Leader of the Purple Dragons said in surprise. "You've heard of us?" Mikey asked excitedly. "Dudes, we're famous." He added super excited. "Not good news Mikey." Jack said as he ready his staff for just incase. "That's bad." Donnie said as he and the rest of us gave Mikey a pointed glare. "Oh, right." Mikey said and got back in battle stance.

"Whatever you are, this neighborhood is ours. So why don't you slither back to the ocean you came from?" Fong asked mockingly with a smirk. "Do we look like sea turtles to you?" I asked with a glare. "Actually, we're freshwater turtles." Donnie said with a glare, while the rest of us smirked, but our smirks soon fell when Donnie started going scientific again. "I suspect that we're derived from the diamondback terrapin but it's possible we're a common box-"

Before Donnie could finish, Fong interrupted him by ordering his two fellow Purple Dragon members to attack. "Get 'em!" Sid, long thin guy with a ponytail and beard, raised up his sledgehammer with a glare and charged right Leo. Leo side stepped away from the hammer before ducking down when Sid swung the hammer at his head. Mikey jumped over Leo's shell and kicked him away from Leo before kicking him again into the wall.

Tsoi, the big guy, charged at me, but before he got to close, Jack froze the floor under the goon's feet and made his slip. Tsoi cried out in surprise as he slipped towards me, before groaning in pain after I jumped and kicked him in the head, right into the wall. "Thanks for the help." I said with my hand on my hip and smiled at Jack, who smirked to me as he laid against his staff. "Anytime!" He said with a smiled before nodding behind me.

Without turning around, I raised my fist up and punched Sid before he could hit me with his sledgehammer. "These guys make it too easy!" I said as I looked down at the knocked out Sid with a smirk while Jack chuckled as he walked over to me. "Way to easy!" Jack said as he stopped next to me and place his arm around my shoulders before kissing me on the side of my forehead.

When I looked up from Sid, I saw Leo kicking Fong and sending him into the wall on the counter. Leo jumped on to the counter and slide over to Fong. He picked the goon up and raised his fist up, ready to punch the lights out of the Purple Dragon punk. Fong's anger glare turned into a look of fear and close his eyes as he waited for the punch.

Leo's glare also went away as he realized Fong was mentally begging for mercy. He let Fong go and stepped back before glare again. Fong's opened in surprise and stared at Leo in shock for getting mercy. Leo's glare deepened. "Get out of here." He said and nodded over his shoulder. Fong huffs a laugh before he pushes himself past Leo, jumping off the counter and headed straight to his gang members.

"Come on! Let's go!" Fong said as he shook his goons awake before turning back to face us as his goons left the restaurant. "This ain't over, greeny!" He exclaimed as he pointed at us before running away. "'Greeny'? Really? I wonder how many brain cells he put to work on that." Donnie said as he shook his head unimpressed as Leo jumped off the counter. "One." I said with a smirk as I crossed my arms. "Because they only have one brain cell!" I added, getting a chuckle from Jack.

"You just let him go? What the heck was that?" Raph asked Leo after walking over and stood in front of him. "They weren't exactly a threat. They'd had enough." Leo defended himself, but his comment just both Raph and I. "Had enough?" I asked with 'are you kidding me' expression. "Dude! They were beating up a blind guy. There's no 'enough'. Now they'll think we're wimps and we don't have the guts to finish the job." Raph exclaimed as he glared at our leader.

Leo looked down with a neutral face expression before looking up when April and Mr. Murakami walked back into the restaurant. "Wow! That was great, you guys!" She said as she helped Mr. Murakami over to a chair. "Thanks, April!" Donnie said cheerfully before he started bragging. "Did you see when I caught the one guy and flipped him onto the counter? Did it look cool? I bet it looked cool." He finished and looked at April expectedly.

"The coolest!" April answered as her eyes looked down nervously, giving herself away that she lied, causing both Jack and I chuckle softly. "You didn't see it, did you?" Donnie asked with a neutral face expression, realizing the truth that she lied. "No, I did not." April said apologetically to him as Donnie looked down in disappointment.

"My friends, I'm indebted to you. Please, allow me to make you a meal. Free of charge." Mr. Murakami said with friendly smile. "I think we can allow that." Raph said with his casual smirk, making me chuckle softly as I shook my head at my twin. "What is your favorite dish?" The blind chef asked with a big smile. Knowing how excited they'll get, I placed my hands over my sensitive ears and laughed when my brothers shouted their answer out excitedly.

"PIZZA!"

We all soon sat down at the counter and watched Mr. Murakami cook, which was amazing. He was moving around his kitchen like a ninja, speed and all. He even threw the dough up in the air and sliced it perfectly. "Wow!" Jack said impressed. "Murakami-San, that was awesome!" Donnie exclaimed just as impressed. "You're like a ninja but for food." Mikey exclaimed as he stared at Mr. Murakami in awe. "Are you guys sure he's blind?" Jack asked April and I jokingly, making us girls laugh.

Mr. Murakami smiles at our compliments to him as he finishes with his cooking. Not long after, 6 plates of dumplings was placed in front of us. "Pizza gyoza!" Mr. Murakami said with a bright smile. "Pizza gyoza?" April said questionly with a frown, as the rest of us frowned as well. "What's with the 6th plate." Jack asked as he looked at the plate in front of him. "It's for you of coarse!" Mr. Murakami answered,- wait a minute! He heard Jack?!?

"You can hear me?" Jack asked surprised while we all stared at Mr. Murakami in shock. "Of coarse I can, why wouldn't I?" Mr. Murakami asked without breaking his smile. Jack smiled brightly and looked over to me as he picked up his chopsticks. "I love this place!" I smiled back as I picked my chopsticks as well and kissed him on the cheek. The guys and I looked back down at our plates, a bit nervous before we each picked up a gyoza and ate it.

We all froze and our eyes fell out when the amazing taste touched our taste buds. "Wow!" Raph said while Mikey said, "Delish!" "Crikey this is good!" I said while Jack nodded to me in agreement. "It's like I got a one-way ticket to Flavorville." Donnie said after swallowing his pizza gyoza. "This is really good too, you know." April said as she us her soup. We all stared at her for a moment before we continued eating our pizza gyoza.

"Uh, Murakami-san, do the Purple Dragons come around a lot?" Leo asked after swallowing his food. Mr. Murakami sighed sadly before answering. "Yes. They demand protection money, but I refuse to pay. They will surely return." "Well, they wouldn't if somebody hadn't wimped out." Raph said and pointedly glared at Leo, who looked down a bit ashamed. But he soon looked up when he noticed his pizza gyoza was gone and saw Mikey chewing. Leo shot Mikey a death glare who smiled nervously after swallowing.

***

We were all back at the Lair, and we each were doing our own thing in the living room. Leo was aggressively kicking and punching the dummy before getting interrupted by my twin. "Whoa, whoa, Leo. I think he's had enough. You better let him go." Raph joked as he stood behind the dummy, getting a glare from Leo. "Here we go again." I muttered under my breath, getting an hum of agreement from Jack as we cuddled on the couch, while watching Blaze and Blizzard played with each other.

"I get it. You're making fun of me for not mercilessly pummeling a helpless man." Leo said as he glared at Raph, who soon returned the glare. "Yes, I am. You showed weakness." Raph said as he poked Leo's stomach, "Those guys only understand one language." He continued as Leo stared at him angerly. "Chinese?" Mikey asked as he looked up from his comic with a smile, hoping he answering right, which made both Jack and I chuckle in amusement.

Raph glares at our younger brother and jumps over to him. "No." He said pointedly as he grabbed Mikey by the shoulder and showed him his fist. "Fists!" "Of coarse they do." Jack said as he scratched Blizzard's belly. "What about feet?" Mikey asked with a smile and showed Raph his foot, making my twin sigh. "They understand feet." Raph said, getting a frown from Donnie as he looked up from his comic. "That would make them bilingual."

"Argh!" Raph exclaimed in frustration as he grabbed his head. "The point is we can't go soft on them!" He exclaimed as he glared at Donnie. "To show mercy is not soft." Master Splinter said as he walked into the living room. "It is a sign of true strength." He said as he stopped next to where I sat. "But, sensei, they're criminals. This is war." Raph argued his point. "A Daimyo of the 16th century once said, "In times of peace, never forget the possibility of war. In times of war, never forget compassion."" Master Splinter said, making his point as well.

"I'm guessing that guy lost a lot of wars." Raph said to himself, getting a glare from Sensei. Sensei raised his green staff and swung it towards Raph, who gasped and flinched as the staff stopped right in front of his face. "You see? Mercy." Sensei said pointedly, moving his staff away before swinging it back and hit Raph's shoulder. "Ow!" Raph exclaimed and rubbed his shoulder while Jack and I laughed, while Blizzard and Blaze yip and chirped their laughter.

Raph shot us a glare before looking back to Sensei. "Okay, look. Compassion is great. But the Purple Dragons are not going to leave Murakami alone." He said, having a point. "He's right." I said as I scratched Blaze under her beak. "The Purple Dragon's have been a problem in that side of town a long while now." "So we'll track down the Dragons and make sure they got the message. And if they didn't, we'll send them one." Leo said before punching his fist into his hand. "Special delivery."

"Was that meant to sound tough or stupid?" Raph asked with a frown. "How are we gonna track someone down when we can't talk to anybody?" Donnie asked, having a good point. The guys all stared at each other for ideas, before I cleared my throat, making them look to me. "Anyone know a certain red head?" I asked with a smirk as I raised up my phone and showed them April's contact profile on my T-Phone.

***

"April said this was the place." Leo said as we all stood on a building in front of a tattoo shop, except for Jack who went to somewhere on the planet to bring winter. "Cool! Can we get tattoos?" Mikey asked excitedly and started explaining what tattoo he want. "I want to get one of my face on my face. It'll be like I'm wearing a mask and the mask is me!"

He wants to what? I thought to myself shock, as I stared wide eyes at my little brother, along with my other brothers. "I just blew your minds, right?" Mikey asked as he looked to us with a proud smirk. "You know they use needles for that." Donnie stated as I nodded and pointed to Donnie. "Needles that inject ink into your skin." I added, which made Mikey's eyes widen.

"Can it, dorks." Raph suddenly said, silencing us. "Excuse me?" I asked with a glare, but he just ignored me and looked down at the tattoo shop. "There he is." We all looked down and saw Fong exiting the tattoo shop. "Let's roll." I said with a smirk before we started jumping from roof to roof as we followed the Purple Dragons leader to their hideout.

"A fortune cookie factory?" I asked with a small frown as I looked at the hideout. "That's their hideout?" The guys shrugged as they got their weapons out. I shrugged as well, before turning into turtle form and got my kama ready. "You guys ready?" Leo asked and we all nodded yes. We readied ourselves and jumped through their window, landing inside the factory in battle stance with our weapons ready in hand.

The Purple Dragons jumped up from their seats and glared at us after we jumped in. "Freeze, dirt bags!" Leo exclaimed at them with a glare, but his glare, along with the rest of us when we saw Bradford and the other who fought with him. "Uh-oh." Leo said while I muttered under my breath when I saw my uncle, "Easter Apples."

"I think we can find them ourselves." The other guy said to Fong with a smirk, making us all glare again. "Oh, man. This is awkward. It's Chris Bradford, my ex-friend. And that other guy." Mikey said as he death glared with me at Bradford and the other guy. "The name is Xever." The guy said with an evil smirk. "So you don't forget, I'll write it on your shells," Xever added before taking out switchblades, "with these." "Like to see you try." I said with a growl and charged at them with my brothers.

***

We were all fighting, and my brothers and I were kicking the Purple Dragons butts, but when it came to Bradford and Xever, well... that is whole different story. Seems like they brought their A-game this time. While Leo and Raph took on Xever, Mikey, Donnie and I took on Bradford. After Bradford knocked my brothers down, I flipped over and tried to stab him with my kama, but he quickly turned around and stopped me by grabbing my wrist.

"I'm going to repeat my question from last time." Chris said to me with a growl and glare as he held my wrist in his hand. "Where did you get those?" He asked as he glared at my mother's kama. "And I'll repeat my answer from last time!" I said before jumping up and pushed myself out of his grip by kicking his chest. "Wouldn't you like to know!" I said, making him growl and charge at me again.

Bradford went to punch me, but I jumped up and backflipped away from him. "Those kama belonged to my sister!" He exclaimed in rage and tried to punch me again, but I jumped to the side and tried to trip him, but Bradford jumped up and avoided my attack. He went to kick me, but I blocked him and glared him right in the eye. "I know." I growled out and punched him in the chest.

My uncle's eyes widen in surprise for a split moment before he glared at me again. He opened his mouth, about to say something when Foot Soldiers suddenly jumped into the factory. "Easter Apples!" I said with a glare and jumped over to Raph and Leo. "Turtles, fall back!" Leo ordered and started blocking ninja stars with his katana blades. "We're giving up? Again? You kidding me?" Raph asked in disbelief as he blocked ninja stars with his sai.

"Yes, it's all part of my hilarious "Let's all live." routine." Leo said, putting his blades away before we all jumped out of the hideout. "Hey! Stay and fight, you cold-blooded cowards!" Xever yelled out to us from the window as we jumped away. "Cold-blooded cowards!" I scoffed as I shook my head with an annoyed glare. "That one kinda hurts a bit." I said as we run and jumped back to the Lair.

***

We soon got back to the Lair, and Jack, Blizzard and Blaze were waiting for us at the entrance. "Hey!" Jack said with a smiled as he and our pets walked over to me. I turned back to my human form and petted Blaze before standing back up and smile when Jack wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I smiled in the kiss and wrapped my arms around him. "How did it go?" Jack asked after pulling away. I flinched at his question and looked over to the others, who looked down, bummed out. "That bad?" Jack stated with a frown. "What happened?"

I sat down on the couch and told Jack what happened while the others sat down on the couch as well, except Raph, he sat down next to the dummy, before standing up again and started punching it. "Man, could that fight have been any more embarrassing?" Raph asked after I finished telling Jack. "Sure. We could have been hit in the face with pies." Mikey said, not getting what Raph meant.

Raph looked down at Mikey and growled, but soon stopped when Leo got up. "It's called fighting smart, Raph." Leo exclaimed as he looked at my twin. "The Purple Dragons have Bradford and Xever on their side now. Last time, we barely beat those guys." He added. "Yeah, because they're willing to fight to the finish! The only way to beat them is to be just as ruthless as they are!" Raph exclaimed in anger, making me frown at he comment.

"You can't fight fire with fire Raph." I stated as Jack and I played with our pets. "Izael is right Raphael." Sensei said as he walked into the living room. "This Xever can cross lines that you won't. This may make him dangerous, but it does not make him strong." He finished as he stopped in front of Leo and Raph. "But Xever wins fights. Isn't that what matters?" Raph asked in annoyance. "And he never shows anyone mercy." He soon added, making Leo look down ashamed.

***

"April, what's wrong?" Leo asked after we jumped down and landed in front of her. She called us and told us to urgently come to Mr. Murakami's restaurant. "It's Murakami." April said and then lead us into the restaurant, which was a mess inside. "What happened here?" I asked as I looked around the restaurant with a frown. "Someone took him and left this." April said and showed us a knife in the wall with a note attached.

"Sweet! Free knife!" Mikey exclaimed with a fist pump. "The note, dummy." Donnie said with an eye roll as I smacked Mikey behind his head. Mikey cried out an ouch while Jack walked over to the note and took it. "No more running. If you want the old man, meet us on the roof of the fortune cookie factory." Jack read the note out loud and looked at us with wide eyes after finishing the note.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's bust in there and save Murakami." Raph exclaimed determinedly. "Not so fast. Think, Raphael." Leo said, making Donnie smirk. "There's two words that don't usually go together." Donnie said to April, making Mikey smile and Jack chuckle, and making me glare at him slightly. "Ha ha, very funny." I said with a glare, but the three of them continued smirk/smiling.

"This is obviously a trap." Leo continued, ignoring the four of us. "Well, what choice do we have?" Raph exclaimed in annoyance and frustration. "Maybe we do need to think more like Xever." Leo said with a smile, shocking us all. "Say what now?" I asked in surprise. "Did I just hear him right?" Jack asked Donnie and I as he pointed to Leo. Donnie nodded with a frown and looked over to Leo. "But master Splinter said-" Donnie started off saying, but got interrupted by Leo.

"I know!" Leo snapped at Donnie, before looking at all of us. "But Xever crossed the line dragging Murakami into this. He's got to learn that we can cross the line too." Leo said before crossing his arms with a smirk. "No more Mr. Nice Turtle." He finished, making Jack, Raph and I smirk along with him. "Yes! I never liked Mr. Nice Turtle." Raph exclaimed excitedly, getting a nod from me of agreement.

***

"Okay, he's strong, so speed and stealth are essential." Leo said as we all stood on a building in front of Bradford's dojo. "Okay, everybody know the plan?" He asked us, getting a nod from all of us, except Mikey, who is smiling. "Mikey?" Leo asked with a knowingly glare. "Yes." Mikey answered brightly. "Are you sure?" Leo asked as we all turned to the orange masked turtle. "Yes." Mikey answered again without breaking his smile.

"Tell me what it is." Leo said and crossed his arms. Mikey frowned for a moment before he placed his finger on his chin and started thinking. He was thinking and thinking until his eyes widen in realization when he realized he doesn't know the plan. "Um, maybe we should go over it one more time?" Mikey said with a nervous smile, making all shake our heads at him.

Leo started telling the plan again to Mikey with Donnie. While they were busy, I pulled Jack and Raph to the side. "Are we still good for Plan-B if things go south?" I asked them. Raph nodded yes along with Jack, but my boyfriend was looking at me with worry. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" He asked as he looked to me and Raph. "Leo won't like it and your secret will be out." He said to me in worry.

"For Murakami, yes." I answered immediately. "He's like an grandpa to me and to April as well. If giving up my secret to save him, then so be it." I said and crossed my arms. Jack sighed before walking over to me and wrapped his arms around me. "I hope you know what you are doing." He said and kissed me on the side of my forehead.

***

We waited on the roof until Bradford got out of us his dojo and locked up. Raph jumped down and stood behind Bradford in battle stance. Bradford turned around and battle stance as well, but he got caught by surprise when Leo jumped down and tackled him, with Raph soon following along too. When they got him to the ground, Mikey and I run over and tied Bradford up with rope while Donnie duck-taped his mouth shut.

After we tied him up, he pulled him up and placed him on his knees onto a trash can lid. Bradford looked up when Raph stood in front of him and his eyes widen when he saw the trash can. He yelled through the tape before he got silenced when Raph slammed the trash can over him. Leo and Mikey walked over with chains and chained them around the trash can before placing a lock on the chains.

"Gentlemen, lady, welcome to the other side of the line." Leo said to us with a smirk. "Now I'm definitely going to need a tat!" Mikey said with fist pump, making our smirks disappear. "Ow!" He exclaimed after Raph punched his shoulder. I rolled my eyes at them and shook my head. "Come on! We need to move." I said. Mikey and Raph stepped closer to the trash can and picked it up. "Dang! This sucker's heavy!" Raph exclaimed as they picked my uncle in the trash can up.

Not even a minute later, the trash can slipped from Mikey and Raph's grips and rolled into a wall. "That's gotta hurt." Jack said next to me. "Sorry!" Mikey called out to my uncle, who is luckily still in the trash can. "Don't apologize to him." Raph said to Mikey and crossed his arms. "I mean, sorry I didn't drop you harder!" Mikey exclaimed with a playful smirk. "There you go." Raph said as he and I smiled proudly.

"Okay!" Jack said with a chuckle and walked over to the trash can. "Let's start rolling him." He said and pushed the can away from the wall. "Roll?" I asked with a slight frown. "Well, we're not carrying him to our destination." Jack said and pointed to the trash can. "So we're rolling him." He finished with a smirk, which we all returned. "Izzy," Raph started with a smirk, "Your boyfriend just scored some points." He finished, making me smile at Jack proudly.

We started running while Mikey and Raph rolled Bradford in the trash can down the street. "Cozy in there?" Leo called out jokingly, getting a loud growl from inside the trash can. "Good!" Raph said with a big smirk, and a laugh from Jack and I. "You spin my head right round, right round!" I sang jokingly, making everyone laugh even more.

We soon got to our destination and looked around the corner, searching for either Xever or Murakami. "Uh-oh, you guys. Look." Donnie said and pointed up, making us all look up and saw Murakami tied up and hanging over the building with Xever standing above him with an evil smirk. "Dudes, Xever's a jerk." Mikey said with a glare, along with the rest of us.

The guys started moving up the building, while I stayed behind and hidden, not wanting Xever to see me in my human form. "We're here, Xever. Now let the noodle man go." Leo said after they got on top of the roof and placed the trash can down. "Sorry, there's been a change of plans." Xever said with his stupid smirk before Foot Soldiers jumped over him and landed in front of us, weapons ready in battle stance. "Actually, there's been another change of plans." Leo said with a smirk and arms crossed.

They guys released the chains and removed the trash can, then showed Bradford to Xever. "I love it when a change of plans comes together." Donnie said with a smile. "You let our friend go and we'll let your friend go." Leo said with a glare. Xever laughs mockingly and crossed his arms. "He's not my friend." He said, making the guys look nervously at each other. "Frost Apples." Jack said next to me.

Xever then walked over to Murakami and started cutting the rope. Raph then held Bradford halfway over the roof. "Uh, we're not kidding. Okay, s-stop or we'll toss him." Leo said nervously. "Go ahead. It'll save me the trouble." Xever said with his smirk deepening and getting a yell from Bradford through the tape. Xever then sliced on more time through the rope holding Murakami up, showing us how more serious he is than us.

"Uh, Raph?" Leo said nervously to my twin. Raph looked down to my uncle with a glare before sighing. "Aw, crud." He said and looked over his shoulder as he took out one of his sai. "Plan-B." He said and cut Bradford lose and threw towards Xever and the Foot Soldiers. Before anyone could do anything, Raph walked over to where I was hiding and pulled me out. "What's going!" I asked, tied up and pretending to be scared.

"Izzy!" Bradford cried out is shock when he saw me while the others eyes widen in shock when they saw me tied up. "Raph what is this?" Leo asked through gritted teeth. "Plan-B." Raph said without moving his glare away Bradford. "Uncle Chris?" I continued acting scared and confuse. "What's going on? I'm scared!" Bradford's eyes widen more in worry as his hands formed into fists. "Don't worry Izzy, everything is going to be alright." He said, trying to reassure me, but he didn't sound convinced.

"Who is this girl to you?" Xever asked Bradford with a glare at Raph. "She's my niece." Bradford answered before glaring over at Mikey. "You said you didn't have her!" He snapped at him. Mikey blinked in surprise for a moment before shrugging. "I said I don't know where she is, and I didn't know at that moment." My younger brother answered, making Bradford even more frustrated, before he glared over at Raph again.

"Let her go!" Bradford snapped and pointed at me. "Na huh! You let our friend go, and I'll let your niece go." Raph said after shaking his head. "They won't hurt her." Xever said with a neutral face expression. "They are bluffing like they did to you." Raph smirked and picked me. "You thick so?" He asked and held me halfway over the roof. "No! Please! I'm afraid of heights!" I screamed, acting even more scared, but I knew nothing is going to happen to me.

"If your uncle gives us what we want, you'll be free to go princess." Raph said to me before looking back to Bradford and Xever. "So, what will it be?" He asked as he moved me closer down the edge, making me scream and cry. Bradford look from Murakami to me in conflict, not knowing what to do. "I'll say it again, they're bluffing!" Xever snapped with a glare. "You sure about that?" Raph asked before grabbing me by the foot and held me completely over the edge of the roof.

"No! Please no!" I screamed, acting completely terrified. "Raph! Pull her back!" Leo ordered with wide shock eyes. "Not until we get Murakami back!" Raph said and looked back to Bradford with a daring glare. "Uncle Chris give them what they want! Please!" I begged as I hang over the roof. Bradford's eyes widen even more with worry as he watched me cry. "You have ten seconds to release Murakami, or I drop her." Raph threatened.

"He's bluffing." Xever growled. "Ten!" Raph started counting. "Oh God please no!" I begged as I cried. "Nine!" Raph continued. "Raph this is going to far! Pull the girl back right now!" Leo snapped while Mikey and Donnie watched with wide eyes. "Eight!" "Uncle please give them what they want!" I cried out as looked over to him with eyes full of fear. "Seven!" "He's bluffing!" Xever snapped again. "Six!" "Raph pull the girl back!" Leo snapped.

"Five!"

"Uncle please help me!"

"Four!"

"He's bluffing!"

"Three!"

"Raph! Pull the girl back!"

"Two!"

"Uncle Chris just give them what they want, PLEASE!"

"Last chance Bradford!"

"He's BLUFFING!"

"One!"

Raph released me and I screamed from the top of my lungs as I fall down from the building. "NO!" Bradford cried out and fell to his knees while the rest of my brothers cried out my name and run over to the edge and looked down. They all sighed silently in relief when they saw me floating in Jack's arms. "My hero." I said with a smile as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Jack smiled back to me and kissed me deep on the lips.

"Attack!"

Jack and I pulled away when we heard Xever's voice. We quickly flew back up and landed back on the roof. The second we got back on the roof, we saw the Foot Soldiers, Xever and Bradford attacking my brothers. Well, Bradford was fighting Raph more than my other brothers. "You go help Raph!" Jack said and handed my kama to me. "I'll help out where I can!" I nodded to him and quickly kissed him on the lips before running into battle.

"You killed her!" Bradford exclaimed and tried to punch Raph, but Raph jumped back and shot him a glare. "No, I didn't." Raph said before blocking a kick. "You threw her off the roof!" Bradford exclaimed and tried to punch him again. "Yeah, and you didn't try to stop me from doing it." My twin said and went to stab my uncle with his sai.

"Ain't that the truth." I said with my own glare behind Bradford. Bradford gasped in shock and turned around, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief when he saw me. "Izzy... It can't be..." He said in disbelief. "He threw you over the roof!" "And like he said, you didn't try anything to stop him!" I snap with a glare. "You just stood there and watched!" I exclaimed and charged at him with my kama. Bradford jumped back and blocked my attack before his eyes widen when he saw my kama.

"Hope's kama..." He said in realization. "You're the female turtle... but how? Your a human!" He exclaimed. "Not anymore." I said as I showed him my right hand wrist. There was a tattoo of a wolf before it changed to a turtle tattoo. Bradford's eyes widen in shock at how the tattoo changed, before his eyes widen even more when I transformed into a mutant turtle. "Impossible..." He muttered under his breath. "Not really." I said with a shrug as I walked around and stood next to Raph.

"For once I'm glad Frost is here." Raph said as he handed me my pink mask. "I'm glad he caught you before you hit the ground." He added as he got back in battle stance. "Ditto." I said after putting on my mask and got battle stance as well. "You look like twins!" Bradford said in surprise. "That's because we are genius!" Raph said and charged at Bradford, with me following behind.

We continued fighting, winning, but these Foot Soldiers are worst than cockroaches! Second you take one down, another one comes and takes its place! Before we knew it, the five of us were surrounded by the ninjas, Bradford and Xever. "Guys!" Jack exclaimed and was about to fly over to help, but I shook my head no, making him stop and float there with conflict.

"All right. Let's settle the score, pond scum!" Bradford said with a glare and raised his fist up. "We're the ones who didn't want to throw you off the roof!" Donnie exclaimed at him with a glare. Bradford cried out a battle cry and charged right at us. We break the circle and started fighting the Foot Soldiers, Xever and Bradford again.

Donnie blocked an attack from a Foot Soldier with his bo-staff before he avoided a punch from Bradford. But Bradford caught Donnie by surprise and punched him into a wall, knocking him out. Mikey then charged at Bradford and flipped over his head when Bradford tried to punch him. Bradford then tried to trip him, but Mikey jumped up with backflipped over and landed on Bradford's shoulders. Mikey spun his nunchucks and went to hit Bradford, but he grabbed the weapons and pulled Mikey down and kicked him to wall, knocking him out next to Donnie.

Raph fought some Foot Soldiers before Xever became from behind and kicked him on his shell. Raph moved slightly forward in surprise before turning around and growled at Xever, who smirked his smack smirk, before moving away when Raph tried to stab him with his sai. Before he could attack Xever again, Raph was surround by Foot Soldiers again and had to fight them off. But as he fought them, Xever came up behind and kicked him again, sending him down and knocked out.

"Raph!" Both Leo and I called out when we saw our brother fall down. I charged at Xever while Leo defended himself against Bradford. I tried to punch Xever but he stepped back and then tried to punch me, but I blocked him my kama. But Xever caught me by surprise when he jumped up and kicked me in my chest, knocking me down. "Izzy!" Jack called out flew down to me and shot ice at Xever's feet, making him slip and fall down.

"Que diabos!" Xever exclaimed when he looked down at the ice with a glare and a frown. Before he could stand up again, Jack landed in front of him and frosted his hand to the ground, surprising Xever even more. "Izzy are you okay?" Jack asked as he run over to me and kneeled down next to me and checked me. "I'm fine." I said and tried to stand up, got knocked back down to the ground when Leo onto Jack and me, making Jack drop his staff.

"See, Bradford? That is how you catch turtles. And next, I'll show you how to filet them." Xever said with his smack smirk and span his switchblade in his hand. "You'd never have caught them without me and you know it!" Bradford snapped, making Xever chuckle. "Oh, yes. What would we have done without your brave leadership from inside the trash can?" Xever asked sarcastically. "At least I didn't slip on ice and got my hand frosted to the ground!" Bradford exclaimed, making Xever growl.

As Bradford and Xever stared each other down, Leo's katana blade suddenly landed in front of us. We all looked at it in shock before Leo, Jack and I looked up and saw Fong standing on the platform above us with his arms crossed. "Not bad for a punk." Jack said with a small chuckle while Leo smiled up to him. "Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to cut these turtles into little pieces." Xever said turned to us, but got a katana blade in the face.

"I don't think so!" Leo said and jumped up, flipping before landing and sliced the water tower down, sending the Foot Soldiers, Bradford and Xever down the building. But as the water rushed down from the roof, Murakami's rope snapped and he fell down. "No!" I screamed as I run over to the side with the rest. As Murakami fell down, Jack grabbed his staff and flew down and tried to catch him while Mikey pulled out his kusarigama and connected it to the roof and swing down.

The guys and I looked down from the edge and saw Mikey hanging there with Murakami in his arms, and Jack floating close to grab Murakami just in case. "I got him!" Mikey called up to us. "Nice save, Mikey!" Leo called out to him proudly while I sighed in relief. "You guys pull them up!" Jack called up to us. "I'll float up next to them to catch them just in case something happens." We all nodded and started pulling them up. "Don't look down, Murakami-San. Or, um, listen down." Mikey said, making Jack and I chuckle.

After we pulled Mikey and Murakami up back to the roof, we checked Murakami for any injuries before we returned him back to his restaurant. As soon as we got there, we all volunteered and helped Murakami to clean up his kitchen. "Accept this token of my gratitude. Pizza gyoza." Murakami said as he came to us with a plate covered with foil.

"Awesome! Thanks, Murakami-San!" Donnie said, thanking him for all of us and took the plate of pizza gyoza from him. "You're welcome, Turtle-San." Murakami said with a bright smile. We all bowed down in respect, before I blinked in surprise when we realized what he said. "Wait, how did you-" Donnie started of in surprise while we all frowned. "I do have other senses. Touch, smell." Murakami said with a knowing smile.

We all looked over to Mikey who frowned and lifted his arm up, but immediately drop his arm down when his nose got a whiff of his smell and cringed. "You don't think we're weird and scary?" Leo asked with a confuse frown. "You saved my life. Who am I to complain?" Murakami asked with his friendly smile. Mikey moved over to the blind chef and hugged him, catching Murakami by surprise for a moment, before he smiled again.

We soon left Murakami's noodle restaurant and went back to the Lair. As soon as we got home, we each took a plate of pizza gyoza and ate it. As everyone ate, Blizzard and Blaze hopped from person to person and begged for a pizza gyoza. Everyone said no at first but soon gave in and gave one half a pizza gyoza to them when they gave puppy dog eyes.

Meanwhile, Donnie was trying to get April to try a pizza gyoza. "I bet you a gyoza she'll reject it and move away from him." Jack said as he watch Donnie and April. "Yeah, well I bet she'll try it, enjoy it and then eat the rest of the gyozas." I said with a smirk and watched as well. "Your on!" Jack said with a smirk.

"Just try one." Donnie said as he tried to get April to try a pizza gyoza, but she pulled away in disgust. "Sometimes things that don't seem like they go together actually make a great couple. I mean, food." He said, shaking his head as he fixed his mistake. April looked skeptical before sighing. "Fine." She gave in and opened her mouth for Donnie to place the pizza gyoza inside her mouth.

"Whoa! These are amazing!" April exclaimed, making Donnie smile brightly in cheering. But his smile soon fell when April grabbed his plate and ate the rest of his pizza gyoza as Donnie watched her in surprise. "Dang it!" Jack said while I smirked in victory. "You owe me a gyoza!" I said proudly. "Ugh! Alright!" He said, pretending to be annoyed, but he smiled as he picked up a gyoza. "Open up!"

I smiled and opened my mouth. He placed the gyoza in my mouth. "Mmm! Delicious!" I said, getting a chuckle from him before he leaned in and kissed me. I smiled in the kiss before pulling back and looked him in the eyes. "I love you." I said with a loving smile, which he returned. "And I love you." Jack said and kissed me again.

After Jack and I kissed, I picked up one of my gyozas and went to take a bite, but was interrupted when Blaze and Blizzard sat in front of me with puppy dog eyes. "No, you guys had some already, from everyone. So, no." I said and went to eat my gyoza, but Blizzard and Blaze whimpered and made their eyes sparkle. I groaned and split the gyoza in half and gave each one half. "You guys are bloody spoiled!" I said, getting a chuckle from Jack and Raph.

Blaze and Blizzard yipped their thanks and ate their gyozas. I smiled down at them and scratch each of them on their head before I continued eating. "Yeah, they are spoiled, but they're our spoiled babies." Jack said to me, getting a nod of agreement from me, as he petted our mystical pets on their heads as well.

"You boys showed your strength today." Master Splinter said with a proud smile. "Yeah, but we almost got beaten." Raph said. "Your strength was mercy. That is why the Purple Dragon helped you." Sensei said with knowledge smile, which made Raph frown slightly as he looked down. "Well? Say it." Leo said with a proud smile. "Okay, okay. You were right." Raph admitted with a small glare.

"Ahh, see? That wasn't so-" Leo started saying, but got interrupted by Raph. "Your wimpiness might not be totally useless." Raph said with a smirk. "Oh-ho. I'll show you who's wimpy." Leo said with a smirk. "No mercy!" He exclaimed and tackled Raph, and they both started wrestling in the middle on the living room.
