The turtles, Vixen and the two villains had finally made it through The ax room and were heading down a long empty hallway. The two groups kept looking at each other with shifty eyes, expecting the other to suddenly jump them. "I have my eye on you, turtles." Fishface sneered. The 7 walked into a circular room that was a lot like the first one they were in. There was a doorway that led to a completely black hallway. Dogpound sniffed the air and said, "Fresh air. Coming from that direction." He informed as he gestured to the dark hallway. Now, this was very suspicious to both groups. There was no way that the maze would be over that quickly. The room could lead to another trap, or they could be taken down from the back by the enemy team. "Uh, please, after you." Fishface said the heroes. "No, no, you go ahead. I insist." Leo returned with a fake smile. "What's the matter? You don't trust me?" Fishface teased. "If you think we're gone turn our backs to you, you're nuts." Raph piped in.

"I know! We go like this: Vixen, turtle, turtle, jerk, turtle, turtle, jerk. Wait, no. Jerk, turtle, jerk, jerk- No, too many jerks." Mikey listed. As both groups looked at the youngest turtle, small, metal balls popped out from a hole in the ceiling. "Ball!" Leo yelled as he noticed them. "Of...doom." He finished as he saw that they weren't doing much but floating there. "What are those?" Dogpound asked, right before red spikes ejected out of the metal balls and started spinning at high speeds, turning into flying saws. "Not good! Let's move it!" Leo announced. "Me first!" Fishface shouted as he assessed the situations. He started running towards the door as one of the balls chased him. "Doom balls! Run!" Leo screamed as another ball tried to cut the back of his neck. The group scattered as 2 doom balls chose one person to attack. Vixen back up against the wall as one aimed right for her face. At the last second, she dodged and the blade got stuck in the wall. Vixen plunged the sharp blade into the machine and it shut down.

Vixen scanned the battle field and saw that Mikey had tripped and fell to the ground, covering his head. Another doom ball locked onto him and tried to cut him. Vixen just acted on instinct and threw the scythe at the ball. The scythe flew through the air like a boomerang, spinning like one. It reached the doom ball and cut it in half, saving the orange masked turtle. The scythe made a U-turn and took out 2 more balls before it headed back towards Vixen who caught it by the handle. "Master Splinter....why are you the best?" She asked aloud. She ran towards the exit while she had her chance, the 6 others joining her quickly. She looked behind her to see that Dogpound was pushing down on Mikey, so she punched him in the face as they all kept running. Raph turned around an threw ninja stars at the remaining doom balls and they blew up. The rest practically fell over each other as they threw themselves into the dark hallway. Donnie let out a breath of relief before screaming as he saw one of the doom balls was still stuck on him bo staff. He plucked it off and walked away. The ball deactivated and rolled a little, hitting Fishface's mechanical feet.

One again, the 7 were simply walking down a long hallway, waiting for another obstacle or a way out. Dogpound panted a little, for they have been walking for a long time. He sniffed the air and realized something was off. "Wait. We're been here before." He growled, as she recognized their combined smell. "He's right." Donnie announced as she studied the ground. "Do you think this place is rotating around, like that one episode from Stephen Universe? They always ended up back in the same room because of the rotating factor, the only way they got out was-" She was interrupted by a wall of metal slamming right in front of her face. She let out a small squeak in surprise. "Hey!" Raph yelled as she pounded his fists on the wall. "Time to split you guys up." Saxter cackled over the mic. Fishface chuckled to himself. "Looks like it's just the 3 of us." He smiled evilly. "Save it, shark bait." Vixen spat. Leo tried slicing at the walls. "You're wasting your time, Leonardo. Those walls are magnetically sealed." Boxman laughed. "VIXEN! WE'RE GONNA FIND A WAY TO GET YOU BACK!" Mikey cried. "Okay, I'll just be here, keeping these two from killing eachoth- RAPH! PUT YOU'RE SAIS BACK!"

Donnie pulled out his T-phone and started pressing some buttons. "I tried that already. Donnie. There's no signal." Leo deadpanned, thinking he was trying to make a call. "I know. I'm reconfiguring he T-phone's internal magnet so that it can detect ambient a/c current. We can use it to trace our way back to Baxter." Donnie explained as he moved his T-phone around to pinpoint that strongest wave of a/c current. "You two, keep stickman talking." Leo order the two others. "No problem. Hey, Boxton!" Mikey yelled. "It's Baxter." He corrected, annoyed. Donnie made a circular motion with his finger showing to keep it up. The group started walking forward. "So I was wondering, what made you interested in a career in super-villainy?" Mikey asked. "Well, since you won't be around to read my autobiography, I'll tell you." Dancer complied. "I was a frail and delicately sensitive young child..." He started.

Mikey groaned with boredom, realizing it was gonna be one of those 45 minutes. "Well, there's a surprise." Dogpound muttered, sarcastically. "That's when I decided to develop my greatest power: My technological genius." He continued. Everyone was already bored out of their mind, and it hasn't even been a minute yet. Everyone except Donnie, who was either too busy to pay attention or didn't mind the highly detailed story. And Vixen., Raph and Fishface who were fortunate enough to not have to listen to the man. Oh, good grief!" Mikey exclaimed as he trudged through the hall. Back with Vixen, Fishface and Raph, they were forced to walk back the way they came. "The world's longest tunnel...of doom." Raph sighed, making the two other chuckle. Suddenly, another wall fell down, surprising them all. "What?" Fishface exclaimed. "We're trapped!" Raph screamed. "Uh...guys?" Vixen said timidly as she squinted her eyes to see better. "That don't look like a wall. It looks like-" Suddenly the 'wall' started spinning, faster and faster, until it started pulling in air at a high speed. "A fan!" Vixen finished.

The three squatted down to keep their weight low so they wouldn't fly away. Vixen pulled out her scythes and dig them into the ground, keeping her steady. The an was flying faster, and the boards under them, on the walls and ceiling were starting to pull up and head towards the fan. Fishface followed Vixen's lead and used his mechanical feet to stay put, but Raph was trying to grip on with his bare hands. The tiles that flew to the fan finally reached and got shredded up into powder. Raph couldn't hold on anymore and started being pulled in by the air. "Raph!" Vixen yelled as she let go of one scythe and held out a hand to him. Their fingers brushed for a second before Raph was sucked backwards. "NO!" Vixen screamed over the winds. Rapp was getting closer and closer to death. He simply screamed, knowing there was nothing he could do. Right before he collided with the fatal fan, Fishface grabbed his foot.

Fish face had used the gripping on the bottom of his legs to climb the ceiling and get Raph. Raph looked that the villain then back at the fan he could have just lost his life to. Fishface started backing up and threw himself to the floor, extending his foot so the two crashed threw the ground. Vixen saw this and kicked the board under her, having the floor collapse and she fall as well. The 3 landed in a completely black underground tunnel, where they were not effected by the wind. Vixen ran over to Raph and started inspecting him for wounds. "Are you okay? Is anything missing?" She asked. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Save that stuff for you're Mikey." He brushed off. "Well, that makes us even, huh, fish stick?" Raph said to Fishface. "You think I'd let Baxter do away with you? Ha. That is a pleasure I am reserving for myself." Fishface laughed as he walked away. "Well, doesn't that just make you feel warm inside?" Vixen muttered as she followed the fish-man.

The walk was, again silent, and pretty boring. "Hey, if mutation is basically just taking two things and making a new product that is half one and half the other, does that make you a merman?" Vixen asked. "Do not ask such stupid questions." Fishface scoffed. "But I'm bored. All we do is walk for hours, fine a new obstacle, get over it and repeat the cycle. There is nothing to do." She sighed. "So? You want to make small talk?" Fishface rolled his eye. "Yeah, pretty much. We shouldn't fight. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Right now, we all have a common enemy that is Blanely, so in this situations we as in the same boat." Vixen explained. "I thought his name was Botman?" Raph asked. "You idiots, his name is Baxter." Fishface seethed. "Oh, right. I need to right that down somewhere." Vixen chuckled. Another round of silence. "Hey, how's about we play the compliment game. We each say something nice about the other two." Vixen suggested. "That sounds stupid." Raph answered plainly. "That wasn't a complement, Raph. I'll go first to show you how it's done. Fishface, I think you have a very nice accent. And Raph, you have very nice eyes. See? Your turn." Vixen humored.

"Alright, I'll play your little game. Vixen, you've got a spitfire attitude that's kinda cool." Raph smirked as he placed his arms behind his head. "Yes, and your determination is almost admirable." Fishface shared. "Well, that wasn't technically a complement, but I'll let it slide. Now, compliment each other." Vixen gestured to the two mutants. "No way." Raph crossed his arms. "Not gonna happen." Fishface agreed. "Damn it!" Vixen deflated. "I was so close!" She cried. The echo of her voice faded off into the silence, making a tense atmosphere. Vixen was right. It was boring. It was almost suffocating at how quite it was. The only sound was their footsteps and Fishface's mechanical legs whirring around. The be completely honest, both Raph and Fishface liked the idea of talking to pass the time. It was just that fact that they had to talk to their enemy that was throwing them off. "Tell me, Xever." Raph started. "What's a nice fish like you doing with a guy like Shredder?" He asked. Vixen looked to the purple fish, waiting for a response. Fishface sighed.

"In many ways, it's all I've ever known. At a young age, I learned a very simple rule: You want something, you take it. I was the best thief, until one day, my luck ran out. They would have left me to rot there. Fortunately, the owner of that briefcase found my skills useful." "Shredder." Raph growled. "Yes. And he employed me for many of the foot's dirtier jobs. Most recently, the destructions of you, your brothers, and your Sensei. Chica over there is just a bonus." Fishface explained. "So you do all this because you own Shredder?" Raph asked. "Eh, mostly I like having a job where I get to crack skulls every day." Fishface added. "Okay, I can relate to that." Raph admitted, looking back at all the fun fights he has had. "Yes. We are of a kind, you and I." Fishface smiled. "Well, maybe. But, I'm still going to whip your butt when this is over." Raph growled as he punched his fist. "What I don't understand is why didn't you use your skills for good. I mean, yeah, you probably came from a poor family where the only way that you could provide was to take things. But there are lost of jobs out there where you could use you're skills for good and get to crack skulls everyday. I mean, look at us. We pound purple dragons, fight the foot and kick kraang. And sometimes we 'steal'. If the object that the enemy has too dangerous of them to have, we take it." Vixen explained.

"Not everyone goes down the path of light, Chica." Fishface sighed. "Oh boy, don't I know it." Vixen smirked rolling her eyes. "Maybe in another lifetime we can fight side by side." Fishface chuckled. "But defiantly not this one." Vixen humored. "Nope." Raph added. "Absolutely not." Fishface laughed. "When I see you working on the side of good, it'll be too soon....But, you're an alright guy, Xever." Vixen smiled gently. "Alright, let's try to find the others. They might still be alive, fingers crossed." Meanwhile, with Leo, Dogpound, Mikey and Donnie, after listening to Peter's life story, they had to fight a whole lot of laser blasters on a spinning floor. They had just defeated all the blasters and were trying to catch their breath. Another blaster appeared and Leo sliced it in half, shutting it down. "Skunkman!" Dogpound growled. "I know you're in here somewhere!" He continued the scream as he trashed the machine pieces around in a rage. The sound of his voice made the 3 wanderers pause, for it was very close. Fishface walked towards the wall and pressed his ear to it, locating where the noise came from. "Hey, it's coming from the next room.

He took a running started and kicked in the wall, surprising the 4. The turtles smiled at the sight of their brother and friend who was safe. "You enjoy your playdate?" Leo teased as he sheathed his katanas. "Ha, Very funny." Raph scoffed. "What about you? Looks like death screwed you over big time, huh?" Vixen smirked as she looked down the hallway that was in complete shambles. Mikey immediately latched onto her, and she smiled down at him rubbing his head. "Yeah, I missed you too." He giggled. "A strong ambient a/c current is coming from underneath this cannon." Donnie informed the group. Dogpound grabbed it and pulled it out of it's place. They all looked to see what was in the hole, but the ground beneath them crumbled and they all fell. "DAMN IT NOT AGAIN!" Vixen screeched. The fall wasn't that far this time, so they were all fine. They stood up only to meet a bright red light.

"No!" Delilah screamed as he floated on a metal contraption. "You were supposed to destroy each other, not work together." He whined. He composed himself and looked down at the 7. "No matter. You may have made it to the end of my maze, but now it's time for-" "The bonus round?" Mikey asked excitedly. "Yes, the bonus round...of doom!" He yelled. Two mechanical legs stomped on the ground in front of the human and mutants. It was an exact replica of his T-suit, but just bigger. "Kneel before the awsome power of my monster-" "Of doom." The other finished. "You know there are lots of other words you can use. Destruction, Devastation, Dastardlier, Diabolical. And that's just the word that start with D, Deborah." Vixen shrugged. "MY IS BAXTER! THAT ONE WASN'T EVEN CLOSE!" He exploded. "Whoops, I really need to write that down somewhere." He laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck. "You all think you're so clever. Let's see how clever you are when you're hit by my missiles of d- when you're hit by my missiles!" He said. The monster machine shot a missiles at the group and the all scattered while screaming.

Unfortunately, they were heat seeking missiles and chased after them. Mikey did 2 flip to avoid the missiles that went after him, which ended up hitting the wall. Donnie did the same with the missile that locked onto him. Now the monster was just shooting hot lasers as the 7 ran around the metal monstrosity. The monster extended it's claws and tried to crush Dogpound who used his huge hands to block the blow. The claw retracted and 5 objected were launched into the air. When the smoke cleaned, it was 5 M.O.U.S.E.R.S. Leo and Mikey took out all of them, and then Leo tried to attack the monster itself. Two of the guarding plates on the shoulder of the monster extended like snakes and started shooting lasers and the blue masked turtle. Leo evaded the lasers and smacked one laser snake in the face, flipping off it to run across the other. Leo plunged his blade into the screen of the monster while letting out a war cry.

He pulled out the blade and flipped back, the image of Batcher glitching out. Batcher had enough and sent out a powerful wave that pushed everyone back. The all groaned and sat back up. "How do we stop this thing?" Dogpound asked Leo. Leo stood up and assessed the situation. "Mikey, Dogpound. Draw it under Baxter." Leo whispered. The two sprung into action. Mikey and Dogpound ran under Baxter's floating machine and the man floated up higher, thinking they were gonna attack him. "Ha. Nice try. But you'll have to be faster then that." Baxter mocked. The two turned the to monster and Mikey started annoying it. "Yoo-Hoo, monster of doom. We're over here!" He yelled. The monster of doom turned and started heading towards the two as they split into different directions. Raph and Fishface were handling the new M.O.U.S.E.R.S. "Raph, Fishface. There!" Leo ordered, pointing to Baxter's floating machine. The two nodded towards each other and ran. Fishface fell to his back, while still sliding as Raph jumped into the air, landing on Fishface's feet. "Ready?" Fishface asked. "3, 2, 1!" Raph counted off.

Fishface extended his legs, launching Raph into the air. Raph let out a war cry as he flew, Saia first. He went right through the base of the flying machine, making it spark out and start falling. "NO! Stop helping each other!" He cried as the floating machine fell down. It crashed into the monster and the two blew up in a red and black explosion, only leaning ash behind. There was no sigh of Baxter anywhere and they all assumed the worst. Except for Mikey. "Where's Dexter?" He asked aloud. "Fool!" A voice cried from above. They all looked up to see Dexter with a whirly-bird contraption on his head. "You havent seen the last of Dexter-Baxter Stockman!" He vowed. He started flying away. Vixen, who had an unimpressed look on her face, launched her scythe at the villain. The blade cut the flying blades and made the flying process very slow and rocky for Delilah. I mean Dexter. I mean- you know what I mean. She caught the scythe and slipped it into her holster.

The 7 finally made their way out of the maze and were completely exhausted. They started the maze sometime around 9:30 and now it was 5 in the morning! The all feel to their hands and knees to catch their breath. "The truce is over." Fishface panted. "Let's finish-" Dogpound stopped short because he was too tired to stand at full height. Leo unsheathed his katana, followed by the other teens. Mikey stepped forward while trying to swing his nunchucks. "Booyaka-" He fell down, yawned and fell asleep. "Ah, forget it. Next time." Dogpound sighed as he and Fishface turned away and started walking. The turtles watched them and Vixen tried to wake Mikey up. Mikey awoke and started walking away with his brothers and best friend. "You know, Raph, you and Fishface actually made a pretty good team back there." Mikey pointed out. "He's still our enemy, Mikey, and he'll take us out the first chance he gets." Raph suddenly stopped and a whirring sound was heard. Fishface had taken on of the doom balls and threw it at the back of Leo's head. But right before it could make contact, Raph stabbed it with his Sai.

The rest of the teens looked at the metal ball, shocked that it came so close to ending Leo. "Trust your senses. You'll se 'em coming." Raph recited as he looked back to the villain. Fishface smirked and continued to walk away. This time, the turtles watched to make sure that the bad guys were actually gone. When they were, they let out a huge sigh. "Hey guys, my apartment is really close to here. You wanna crash there for the day? The sun's gonna rise soon." Vixen said as she saw the sky turning lighter. "Sure." The all yawned. They made it to Vixen's apartment in 5 minutes. "Someone takes the couch, 2 take the guess beds and one gets the blow up bed." She informed. Mikey, Leo and Donnie chose to share a room, Leo with the blow up bed, and Raph would be on the couch. "By the way, I texted April about what was happening and she said that Splinter said you guys are gonna have extra training to make up for the time you miss in the afternoon. The 4 grunted in response, Raph already face planting on the couch and falling asleep. The 3 others disbanded into the guest room, too tired to even say good night. Vixen went to the closet, brought out 4 blankets and gave one to each turtle. "Sleep well guys." She whispered as she went to her own room and fell into.
