Cleo's POV:
Me and the guys are on a stakeout/tracking night to see what aliens are up to, because that's all they seem to do anymore. I stood with my arms folded, leaning against sky light as Mikey sat on the other side of it. Raph and Leo were standing up, the latter looking more patient than the other. Donnie was kneeling by the edge, telescope to his face, looking down at the droids. I chewed silently on my gum as I waited for something to happen. "Whoa!" Donnie said suddenly. "That's a sub-spatial endoparticle disrupter!" "English, dude," I said. "English." "Yeah, you're gonna have to explain if that's 'oh-no' or 'yay'," said Leo. Donnie looked around at us. "In the hands of the Kraang, it's a definite 'oh-no'." 

"Why?" asked Mikey. "What does it do?" "The disrupter can de-synchronize subatomic resonances, which invert polymolecular structures, causing them to implode." I slowly blew a large bubble and popped it as I stared at Donnie. I understood what 'implode' meant, but I didn't get the rest of it. Mikey was no better and frowned in confusion at his brother. "It makes things go 'boom'," Raph explained as though it were obvious. "Technically," piped up Donnie. "It makes things go zweeee-chooooo! Pop!" There was silence as we all stared blankly at Donnie, blinking at him. He shrugged.

"It's important to be accurate," he said simply. "Okay..." "No one in the world is that accurate, Donnie," I told him seriously. "Alright, guys," said Leo. "We need to be careful with this. We get in, grab the disrupter, and get out. Nothing too messy, okay? We don't wanna get hit by that thing." "You don't have to tell us twice," said Raph. "Let's go." We all walked up to the ledge of the roof and stopped. I stood between Leo and Donnie as I stared down into the street below. I could see the droid that was carrying the disrupter from here. I spit my gum out of my mouth, and it landed on the surface of the roof. 

"Okay guys, get in position," said Leo. "Ready..." "Let's just do this!" Raph said urgently. In unison, we all leapt up from the ledge and dove down towards the street, doing several summersaults before landing in a crouched position. We all stood up and looked around. From across the street on the other side of the group of droids, I could see several figures. Most of them were Foot ninjas, and the other two were Xever and Bradford. "Kraang, and Fishface, and Dogpound?" Raph said, beaming. "I must be dreamin', pinch me!" A second later he let out a loud "Ow!" when Mikey reached up and pinched his cheek. Raph glared down at his sibling and smacked his head. "Ow! You said...!" Mikey whined.

The mutants from the other side let out loud yells as they ran forward. Me and my bros took out our weapons and ran at the Kraang as well. The Kraang didn't seem to know who to focus on, so they just started firing back and forth. I opened my tessen and threw it out. It hit a droid right in the head, embedding itself. The droid fell as I ran up and snatched the fan out. I went down to my knees and slid forward, my kneepads scrapping the road. I knocked a droid down onto its back. I reared my leg up and kicked the gun out of its hands before slicing its head off. 

From behind me I hear quick footsteps, and I knew it was a Foot ninja. I threw my tessen forward as I turned around, but the ninja blocked it with his katana. I was able to draw out my kamas and hold them up in time to block the blade as it came down towards my head. I shoved the ninja back and swept my leg underneath him, knocking him down. I shoved my kamas back into my belt before running forward and picking my tessen off the ground.

I turned around to see a Kraang droid run at their large truck and grab something out of the back. It was the disrupter. The droid picked it up and aimed it forward. I looked over to see Mikey in its range. "Mikey!" I yelled. A bright light started issuing from the barrel of the gun before the droid pulled the trigger. Donnie suddenly leapt forward and pushed Mikey out of the way, knocking them both down. The shot hit a nearby car instead, and with a loud zwee-choooo, it shrunk and disappeared with a soft pop! "Well, what do yah know?" I muttered. "Whoa!" said Mikey. "Donnie, you totally called it, bro!" Donnie grinned. 

I heard the roar of an engine, and I looked up to see that the Kraang's van was driving away. "Leo, what now?" I asked. "Guys, we gotta move!" Leo called out. "Raph, now!" I whipped around to see that Raph was still fighting heatily with Fishface, both of them apparently oblivious to the thing that we all wanted. In the distance, I could hear the sound of approaching police sirens. Raph looked back at us before grunting as he shoved the mutant fish off. Fishface stepped back and glared at Raph. "Yes, run along now, boy!" he jeered before turning around and running off. "This isn't over, Fishface!" Raph yelled. "Raph, c'mon," I said. "We gotta go!" He nodded, and we all ran out of the street and into a nearby alley that we all knew held a manhole.

Cleo's POV:
Training can generally be exciting and fun, depending on what we're doing. Right now, it was exciting, but not so fun just yet. We were all sitting on our knees in a line in the middle of the dojo. From the corner of my eye, I saw father step behind Donnie, who was at the end line, and therefore, that meant he was first. I saw a flash of brown as father raised the wooden practice sword. There was a pause. But just as Donnie moved forward the sword came down and smacked his head. "Oh-! Aw, man!" Donnie whined as he rubbed his head. I saw father move to stand behind Mikey and he raised the sword again. 

Mikey flinched forward, but nothing happened, and he sat back. He flinched forward again, still nothing. It wasn't until the third time he flinched, and nothing happened that he spoke. "Just so we're clear, Sensei, you are plannin' on swingin' right- AH!" I saw Mikey rub his head gingerly as father moved to stand behind to Raph, but by now I couldn't see him even if I glanced over. There was a short pause. Raph's shoulders barley flinched before he too was smacked in the head. "Ow!"

I straightened up slightly as I heard father finally step behind me. I waited for a moment as I heard the sword lift into the air. I took a deep breath. "Do it... Now!" I dove forward to summersault out of the way. But I was halfway through it when something whacked me right between my shoulder blades. "Gah!" I yelped. I slowly sat back as I muttered, "Aw, almost had it..." Raph snickered and I shot a glare at him. I heard father moved over to Leo next. "Still got that bag of gummy worms on yah?" I whispered to Raph. "Yeah." "20 pieces says Leo makes it." "You're on." I glanced over at Leo, who had a look of pure concentration on his face. Suddenly, I saw the sword swing down, and Leo shifted to the side and back flipped out of the way. "Yes!" he cheered. I smirked as I turned to look at Raph. "You owe me some gummy worms, mister." "Shut it," he muttered bitterly before looking up at father. 

"What is the point of this anyway?" "Evading a sword, you cannot see demonstrates an ability to sense your enemy's intention," Father said as he held the sword at his side. "I already know my enemy's intention, Sensei," said Raph. "To take me down." "Knowing that your enemy will strike is a given," Father explained. "But sensing when he will strike can mean the difference between victory and defeat." Raph looked at him for a moment before bowing his head. "Hai, Sensei." We all bowed our heads as father began walking away toward his room. "And Raphael," Father called back, and we all looked up. "Whether it concerns money or sweets, you should think before you gamble." I snorted into laughter as Raph stared at him, his jaw hanging open.

The next night, Leo decided to go out for another patrol. This time, we were searching for Dogpound and Fishface. After their surprise visit the other night, Leo wanted to know what else they were up to. I brought up the rear as we continued running across rooftops and leaping to other buildings. We ran for a few blocks before Donnie, who was in the lead, skidded to a halt at a corner of a building. "I got eyes on one giant dog and fish, 6 o'clock," said Donnie. "Where?!" Mikey said excitedly as he ran up, then frowned. "Aw man, it's just Fishface and Dogpound." "Who else would it be?" I asked him. "What're they doing out in the open like this?" said Leo. 

"I think we should proceed with caution, guys. Guys...?" I looked around to see that Leo and I were the only ones on the roof. "What the-?" I turned my head and looked down into the street to see that the others were already fighting the mutants. "Of course..." I sighed as I took out my kamas and leapt down, Leo following behind me. As soon as we landed, he went to go help Mikey and Donnie with Dogpound. I turned around to see that Raph was fighting Fishface alone.

"Now, where were we?" said Raph. "Oh yeah! I was turning you into fishsticks!" "Actually, I believe I was turning you into turtle soup," Fishface sneered. Raph ran forward, and Fishface aimed a kick at him. Raph blocked it and knocked the fish down. I heard a loud thud from behind me and I turned around to see Dogpound laying on the ground, Leo standing over him with his sword in the dog's face. "Stay," he said. "Good dog." 

Dogpound growled before shoving Leo's sword aside and getting up. He and Fishface both started running off away from us and into the street. "Look, we got 'em on the run!" said Mikey. "Oh, they aren't getting off that easy!" Raph yelled before running after the two mutants. "Raph, wait!" Leo called. "Something's not right!" "Yeah, you talking while they're getting away!" Raph snapped. Leo groaned irritably before following his brother. Hesitantly, the other two and I followed them.

(-)

"This way!" We followed Raph into the center of the abandoned building that Fishface and Dogpound had led us to. We all stopped running and looked around. It was dark and it was quiet. Then, we heard someone speak. "Alright," the voice of Dogpound drawled as he and Fishface stepped out from behind the corner. "You got us." "This is way too easy," said Leo. "Why are you always worried?" Raph said angrily.

Then, from below us, I saw what looked like bright red lasers on the ground that surrounded us and formed a huge circle around us and Dogpound and Fishface. The second the circle was made the floor we suddenly lowered beneath the floor level. I blinked and saw that the small walls around us were now black and white stripes going up the walls. "Oh, I see," Raph said shortly. "Careful, guys," said Mikey. "This may be a trap." "You don't say," I said as I looked around. "Welcome, contestants," a familiar voice suddenly sounded from unseen speakers. "I'm so glad you could join us tonight."

"Blister Stockboy?" said Leo. "It's Baxter Stockman! I'm your arch nemesis!" Mikey smirked as he winked at Donnie. "I could totally think of five nemeses way archer than him." "What do you want, Stockman?" I said angrily. "Oh, I'm so glad you asked, Cleopatra," Stockman said in mock enthusiasm. "You'll be playing for the ultimate prize; your lives! In the all new, family-friendly, incredibly deadly... Maze of Doom!" I raised my eyebrows. "That doesn't sound very family-friendly at all." Then, from above, what looked like tiny fireballs started coming down on us. "Scatter!" I shouted. We all spit up and went wherever we could in the cramped space to avoid the fire. 

Then I heard a yell that wasn't from me or my brothers. I looked up to see Dogpound and Fishface dodging the balls as well. "You fool!" sneered Fishface. "What're you doing?" "I'm sick of you freaks!" Stockman sneered through the speakers. "You treat me like dirt, threaten me... Well, Baxter Stockman doesn't make threats!" "Have you gone mad?" Fishface snapped. "Mad?" Stockman cackled loudly. "I'm full-on mega crazy!" "You traitor!" Dogpound yelled. "And even if you make it through my maze alive, you'll still have to face my... monster... of-" "Doom?" said Leo dully. "Is it a monster of doom?" "NO! Uh... Monster of, uh... uh... Oh, to heck with it!"

Suddenly, the floor beneath us disappeared and we all began falling down. We all screamed and yelled as we through the tunnel, which was also colored it black and white. It was seriously trippy. But, the fall only lasted a few more seconds before I landed on something curved and hard. I rolled over several times before stopping on my stomach. I grasped my head as I sat myself up and I saw all of the others were all around me. I heard groaning and I looked down to see Raph lying next to me. "Ugh... where...?" But he was cut off as suddenly, Dogpound and Fishface landed a few feet away from us. They got up quickly, shaking their heads. "Where were we?" Dogpound growled before running forward. "Total turtle takedown!" said Fishface as he did the same. 

At once, the fighting we had started in the street continued. The other three went to fight Dogpound while Raph and I took Fishface. Raph swung his sai at the fish, who dodged and tried to bite his arm. I reared up to his side and used the end of my kama to hit his head. He reached up and grabbed my wrist and twisted me around. "I don't think so, girly," he sneered. I grunted and shoved him off, knocking him back a few feet. Raph growled and lunged forward. But just as I was about to follow, I heard a strange sound. Like lasers being powered up. I looked down one end of the black and white checkered hall and saw what looked like laser axes appearing, swinging from the roof.

"Raph!" I yelled warningly. Raph looked up and gaped at the axes. Then, just as Fishface approached him for another strike, an axe appeared right above them. "Watch out!" Raph yelled. He suddenly leapt forward and pushed Fishface out of the way, and at the same time I leapt backwards to avoid injury. They both landed on the floor away from the axe and sat up. "I saved you," Raph said incredulously, hardly able to believe himself. Then he rounded on Fishface. "Why, calamari-boy?!" "Everyone," said Leo. "I suggest a fight raincheck." 

"Never!" snapped Dogpound. "We do this now!" But just then, another axe appeared, and I started coming right for Dogpound. Leo withdrew his hidden tanto and threw it up at the metal base of the laser axe. The blade stabbed it, and the axe vanished. Dogpound, who had been hunched over and covering his head, straightened up. The tip from one of his spikes then popped off, having been sliced.

"If we keep fighting, we are never gonna get outta here alive!" Leo said firmly. "The exit!" Donnie pointed down the tunnel like hall, where there was a bright light, as though from the outside. "There!" "Follow me!" Dogpound shouted as he pushed past us, Fishface following behind him. I frowned at him before the others, and I ran after them. I ran from side to side, leaping over the laser blades as they swung back and forth. Then I stopped when an axe swung close by me, and Leo and Raph stopped beside me. "Leo, you don't think we can trust them, do you?" Raph asked seriously. "What choice do we have, Raph?" I spoke. 

"She's right," said Leo. "It's our only option." We stopped again as the axes swung dangerously in front of us, and we waited to see a pattern to go through. "Well, what do we do if they turn on us?" Raph said fiercely. "Because they will turn on us!" Leo looked at his brother for a moment, then looked away. "We'll just have to trust that we'll see it coming first." Leo leapt forward as soon as the axe passed by. Raph frowned at his brother and shook his head, looking almost disappointed.

(-)

After we got passed the axes, the walk through the tunnel was deadly quiet. Dogpound and Fishface walking in front of us while we trailed behind them. None of us said anything. What could we possibly say? "I have my eye on you, turtles," Fishface sneered at us. "Keep your fins to yourself, Flounder," I snapped threateningly. Raph snorted and Fishface huffed as he turned back around. A second later we walked into another circular room. Dogpound stopped walking and sniffed the air. "Fresh air," he said, and he nodded forward. "Coming from that direction." At once we all stopped walking. Each of us looked at each other, good to bad. "Eh, please," said Fishface. "After you." "Oh no, no, you go ahead," Leo said, fake grinning. "I insist." 

"What's the matter?" Fishface said, mocking being insulted. "You don't trust me?" "If you think we're gonna turn our backs to you, you're nuts!" Raph said forcefully. "I know!" Mikey piped up. "We go like this; dudette, turtle, turtle, jerk, turtle, turtle, jerk. Wait, no... Turtle, jerk, turtle, jerk, jerk-Nah, too many jerks..." I saw something shine above me, and I looked up. There were several, small silver balls floating above us. "Balls!" said Leo. "Of doom..." "What're those?" said Dogpound. Then, what appeared to be red, laser blades shot out of the balls, and they began spinning as they shot towards us.

"Not good!" said Leo. "Let's move it!" "Me first!" said Fishface as he ran forward. The balls shot down aimed to hit us. I took out my tessen and knocked one that was coming towards my face away. "Doom balls!" Leo yelled. "Run!" Without hesitation we all started running forward towards the exit, pushing and running past each other as though it were a race. I looked behind me and saw that the balls were all chasing us. "Oh, crud!" I yelped. From next to me, Raph suddenly turned around and threw a bunch of shuriken. They hit the balls, which then exploded on contact.

The explosion shook the area, and we all tumble through the exit over each other. I slid off of Leo's shell and stood up. I heard Donnie yelp and I looked to see a single, remaining ball embedded in his staff. He gingerly pried it off the staff and tossed it away. Everyone got back onto their feet, and we continued on. We were all exhausted as we walked through the checkered tunnel. Who knew that a few sliver balls could wear someone out? To add insult to injury, it felt as though we had been walking for hours none stop. It had to at least be midnight by now.

Then, halfway down the tunnel, Dogpound sniffed the air. "Wait... We've been here before!" he said. I gasped. "What?" "He's right," said Donnie, who appeared to be examining the floor. "We've been going in circles!" "Donnie, are you sure-?" But Raph was cut off as a large silver door suddenly shot down between us. I yelped in surprise, tripping back and falling against Raph's legs. Raph ran forward and started banging on the door. "HEY!" "Time to split you boys up!" Stockman said cheerfully. "Oy!" I snapped. "Member of the female race here!" But Stockman merely laughed before the speakers went quiet. 

I groaned as I stood up and dusted myself off. I heard Fishface chuckle darkly, and I looked up to see him smirking at Raph, who was glaring at him with hatred. "Hmm... Looks like it's just you, me, and your pretty little sister." I stomped over to him. "I am not in the mood for you, Fish-Sticks!" I sighed. "C'mon. We gotta find a way back to the others so we can get out of here." Turning away from the still smirking fish, I started to walk forward down the hall, back from wence we came in the first place. I glance behind me to see that Raph and Fishlegs hadn't moved. They were standing still, staring at each other. "Guys," I said impatiently. They both looked at me, then back at each other. Then, after a moment, they started to follow me.

(-)

We've been walking around for a while now. After I couldn't find any trap doors or anything I decided all we could do was keep walking. "Ugh, the world's longest tunnel," Raph groaned. "Of doom...!" I chuckled and Fishface snickered. Suddenly, another black and white striped wall came down up ahead, blocking our path. I gasped as we stopped walking. "We're trapped!" said Raph. Then, the wall made a loud sound as though it were powering up, and it slowly started to spin like a fan. Except, instead of blowing like a fan, the thing seemed to be sucking us in. As the fan got faster the wind started becoming more forceful, and I felt my feet start to slide across the floor. I picked my feet up as I tried to step back, and Raph grunted as he tried to do the same. 

Fishface, whose robotic feet seemed to be attached to the floor, didn't move. A white tile from the tunnel wall was peeled off and went zooming down to the fan. It reached the fan and was shredded into a million pieces. "Raph, what do we do?" I spoke. "I don't know!" The fan just continued to get faster and the wind stronger. Then, I yelped when I felt my feet start to lift off the floor. Raph made a feeble attempt to grab the floor before he was suddenly lifted and carried off, and I followed soon after. We both yelled as we were carried off down the tunnel and headed to the fan. I squeaked in fright as I covered my face as I neared the fan, waiting to be shredded.

I yelped when I suddenly felt something grab my wrist and I stopped moving. I opened my eyes and looked up. Raph holding my wrist tightly, and as I looked up I saw Fishface standing upside down, his feet attached to the ceiling, holding Raph's ankle. Despite the situation, I couldn't help but stare in shock and amazement. Fishface then detected his robotic feet and dove down, pointing one of his feet down. When he landed on the ground he busted through the floor, and we all fell beneath the level. 

I felt Raph release me as we landed in the dark, lower level. "Are you guys all right?" I asked as I stood up. "Yeah, we're good," said Raph as he and Fishface stood up, and he turned to face the mutant. "Well, that's makes us even, huh, Fish-Sticks?" "You think I'd let Baxter do away with you two? Humph!" Fishface snorted. "That is a pleasure I am reserving for myself." He straightened up and started to walk away. I looked over at Raph and shrugged. "I guess that's his way of saying 'you're welcome'?" Raph rolled his eyes, and he and I caught up with Fishface.

(-)

This lower level was really weird. Even though it was all black and there were no lights, I could still see perfectly clear. I was sure that the other two could see just fine because they never complained about it. In fact, they didn't really say much. After a while of walking though, Raph finally spoke up. "Tell me, Xever," said Raph. "What's a nice fish like you doing with a guy like Shredder?" "Yeah," I said. "How'd you get mixed up with someone like him anyway?" Fishface turned and looked at us. 

For a moment I thought he was going to tell us to mind our own business. Then, to my surprise, he sighed and started talking. "Eh... In many ways, it's all I've ever known," he started. "It's been that way ever since I was a boy. At a young age, I learned a very simple rule; you want something, you take it." "Not the best piece of advice for a kid," I said shortly. "Everyone's got to make a living," said Fishface. "And boy, did I make one. I was the best thief, until one day, my luck ran out."

"What happened?" asked Raph. "I was trying to steal a briefcase, one that I knew had items I could sell for a lot of money. Unfortunately, I was careless, and my luck ran out, and got arrested. They would've left me to rot there! Fortunately, the owner of that briefcase found my skills... useful." I frowned. "Let me guess..." "Shredder," said Raph. "Yes, and he employed me for many of the Foot's... dirtier jobs," Fishface looked over at us. "Most recently, the destruction of you two, your brothers, and your sensei." "So, you do all this because you owe Shredder?" Raph asked, looking genuinely shocked. "Dude, I never thought I'd feel sorry for you," I told him. "Eh, it's not so bad," Fishface shrugged. "Besides, I like cutting a job where I get to crack skulls every day." "Okay," said Raph. "I can relate to that." "Yes... we are of a kind, you and I."

"Maybe..." Raph punched a fist into his palm. "But we're still gonna whip your butt when this is over!" "Yeah, you're not getting off that easy," I added. Fishface chuckled. "We shall see, children. We shall see." Raph and I glared at him slightly before looking forward. We walked for a few more minutes in silence before we heard a distant yell. "Skunkman! I know you're in here somewhere!" "That's Bradford!" I spoke. Fishface walked forward a bit before lifting his hand and pressing them to the wall. He put his ear to the wall and gasped. "Hey! It's coming from the next room!" 

He stepped back and quickly kicked the wall with his leg. There was a loud bang and dust appeared. When it cleared, I saw that there was a hole in the wall, and on the other side were Leo, Donnie, Mikey and Dogpound. "Guys!" I said happily. "You three enjoy your playdate?" Leo said, smirking. "Very funny," Raph grumbled. "A strong ambient a/c current is coming from underneath this cannon," said Donnie, who was looking at his T-Phone as he kneeled beside a cannon on the floor.

Dogpound reached over and ripped the cannon out. We all crowded around the opening and looked down, seeing nothing but black. A second later the floor gave way and we fell through, again. I fell down until I finally landed in a heap on the floor below me. I heard loud thumps as the others fell down around me. I pushed myself up and got up to my feet, and so did they. I looked around and saw that we were back in the abandoned building we were in before.

Suddenly, lights flashed on, and I turned around. It was Stockman, standing on what looked like a giant pad, and he was pissed. "No!" he cried. "You were supposed to destroy each other, not work together!" he sighed. "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. Stockman smirked. "Yes, the bonus round... OF DOOM!"

Then a large, very familiar suit of armor came stomping out towards us from the other side of the room. It was the same suit Stockman had from when he was the Stockman-Pod. Somehow, he was able to get it working again, and was now controlling at his will. "Kneel before the awesome power of my... Monster...!" "Of doom..." we all groaned in unison. "You all think you're so clever," Stockman said, his face appearing on a screen on the suit where his head would be.

"Let's see how clever you are when you're hit by my missiles of do-... When you're hit by my missiles!" The robot aimed one of its arms out at us and started firing missiles at us. We scattered and ran off. A missile came at me, but I did a frontflip and avoided it. Then, what looked like more missiles shot out from the monster's back. It wasn't until I heard loud screeching that I realized that they were actually Mousers. "Not these buggers, again!" I yelled in annoyance as I took out my kamas.

A Mouser landed right in front of me and screeched as it ran at me. I kicked it up into the air and when it came down, I sliced it in half. I looked around to see another one coming at me, and I threw my kama so that it went into the thing's head. As I took the kama back I looked up to see that Leo had leapt up and shoved one of his katanas into the screen on the robot. He leapt down, taking his katana with him. On the broken screen, Stockman glared down at us. Then, the robot powered up and suddenly sent a powerful shockwave all around the room, causing us to all fall back off our feet. "How do we stop this thing?!" Dogpound shouted. 

"Leo, we could really use a plan," I said as I stood up. Leo got up to his feet and looked around. I could tell by the look in his eye that he had a plan forming in his head. "Mikey, Dogpound," he said quickly. "Draw it under Baxter!" They both nodded and made a run for Stockman. The man in question must have assumed that they were trying to attack him, and simply made his hover pad lift up out of their reach.

"Ha, nice try!" he jeered. "But you'll have to be faster than that!" I could see both Mikey and Dogpound smirking at one another before turning around. "Yoo-hoo!" Mikey called out. "Monster of doom! We're over here!" The monster turned around and instantly sprinted for them. "Raph, Fishface!" Leo yelled. "There!" I looked to see both Raph and Fishface running towards the monster, which was now underneath Stockman's hover pad. Halfway there, Fishface flipped onto his back with his robotic feet up, and Raph leapt up and landed on his feet. "Ready?" "3. 2. 1!" Fishface pushed Raph up into the air with his robotic legs. Raph yelled as he lifted his sais and shot up to the hover pad, stabbing through it and busting through the other side. 

"No! Stop helping each other!" Stockman yelled. His pad started diving down, and soon it crashed right into his monster. There was a loud boom! as the collision caused an explosion. I covered my face with my arms as I waited for the smoke to subside. I looked up and saw that there was nothing left but the metal remains of both pad and robot. "Where's Dexter?" said Mikey. "Fools!" We all looked up. Stockman was hovering in the air, wearing a helmet that appeared to have helicopter-like wing on them. "You haven't seen the last of Dexter-" he shook his head. "Ugh! Baxter Stockman!" And he turned away and flew out of a window, and out of sight.

(-)

Dogpound lifted the large garage doors before we all fell through and landed on our knees into the street. We all sighed and panted with exhaustion. "The truce... is over..." Fishface panted. "Let's finish... ugh, this," Dogpound grunted as he stood up. I forced myself to my feet as I took out my kamas, but there was not want or enthusiasum. Now that we had calmed down my adrenaline rush had faded, and I had no energy left in me. "Booyaka..." Mikey muttered, but he then fell to his knees and let out a loud yawn.

"Oh, forget it," Dogpound groaned. "Next time." He and Fishface turned around and began walking away. "Thank God," I sighed as I put my kamas back in my belt. "I'm so tired, I can't even feel my knees." "Dito," Donnie yawned sleepily. We all sheathed our weapons and slowly turned around and walked the other way. "You know, Raph, you and Fishface actually made a pretty good team back there," said Mikey. 

"You did work well together," I said simply.  "Maybe," said Raph. "But he's still our enemy, and he'll take us out the first chance he gets." No sooner had he spoken then a soft whizzing sound rang though the alley. I turned my head and caught a flash of metal before Raph suddenly lunged his sai up and stabbed the object, stopping it in its path. I blinked and leaned over. It was one of the doom balls that had attacked us earlier, and it was now less than an inch from Leo's head.

I snapped my head down the other end of the alley and saw that Fishface had stopped and was looking at us. "You sneaky fish..." I could've sworn I heard him chuckle. "Trust your senses," said Raph. "You'll see him coming." Fishface smirked at him before finally turning away. I glared at him before turning away and we continued down the street until we finally got home.
