Cleo's POV:
Things were being exceptionally quiet and boring so far for me and the boys tonight. And by 'boys' I meant Leo, Raph and Mikey. Donnie was currently off somewhere down the railroad track doing something- I don't know what. And I say boring and quiet because the brainiac had come bursting from his lab earlier, saying that he had finished something and he had to show us. Seeing as how he had been working on this thing for most of the day and still wouldn't tell us what it was, we eagerly agreed. But, that was over half an hour ago, and the guys and I are still just sitting outside the lair, waiting for Donnie to return with his new contraption.

"Ugh, what's takin' so long?" Mikey groaned irritably. "Donnie knows I have a short atten- Ooh, gum!" "Mikey, don't you dare!" I snapped. Mikey ignored me and picked up the disgusting chewed up morsel off the railroad floor. Raph took the physical alternative and smacked his little brother upside the head, causing him to drop the gum. "Man, this better be worth it," Raph sighed angrily, folding his arms. "I'm sure Donnie wouldn't drag us out here if it weren't," I told him. I had barley finished before I heard the squeaking sound of wheels on the tracks. 

We all turned our heads to look down the subway path in time to see headlights pass around the corner. Suddenly, a subway car of which I had never seen before started driving up the track and slowly came to a halt in front of us. I knew that it must've been Leatherhead's old subway car, but it was practically unrecognizable; repainted with artistic, multicolored graffiti and with what looked like a cannon on the roof, this thing looked like the love child of a hippie van and a tank.

"Was it worth it now?" I asked Raph, not taking my eyes off the monster. "Yep." There was a loud bell sound and the car doors slid open to reveal Donnie. He leaned against the doorway, a wide, smug smirk on his face. "So...?" he said, waiting for us to respond. "You turned Leatherhead's old subway car into this?" Leo asked, staring up at the vehicle. Raph, who still had a dumbfounded look on his face, looked at Donnie and said, "Donnie, have I ever told you how awesome you are?" 

Donnie seemed to smirk more. "No, you haven't." "Well, I'm seriously considering it." I gasped at him. "Considering? Heck, I'll go ahead and say it; Donnie, you're awesome!" "Thanks." Mikey walked forward and pressed his hands against the surface of the car, rubbing it for a moment before putting his head against it. "What do you call this thing?" Leo asked Donnie. "Well, it's a transaxle, multi-armored, electromagnetic-" "Shellraiser!" Mikey cut across him, a look of triumph on his face.

We all turned to stare at him, he stared back. "What?" said Donnie. "The Shellraiser!" Mikey beamed. "It's the perfect name!" I glanced over to look at the other three, and somehow, I knew what they were all thinking. "That is the perfect name," Leo admitted. "Of course, it is, bro! You guys always underestimate me," Mikey glanced down and his eyes widened. "Ooh, gum!" Before he could move, I jumped forward and grabbed his wrist, preventing him from grabbing the piece. "Don't..." I warned slowly. Mikey looked from me to the gum then back again. A second later he shrugged and nodded. I released him. "Come on in," said Donnie. "Check it all out." 

One by one, we all entered the Shellraiser. It looked just as sweet on the inside as it did on the outside. Even before Donnie flipped the switched and powered the car up, I saw five different seats that seemed to represent stations- one in the front that was obviously the driver's seat, and four more in the back. Donnie walked further into the car and sat down at one of the four stations in the back.

"Now, I've assigned everyone to a station based on your individual skill sets," he added shortly. "I can't drive because my station's in the back, so-" The boys cut him off and yelled "Driver!" all at once before they all made a B-line for the front. I stepped back, pressing myself against the wall as they all ran forward, bumping into each other as they made for the driver's seat. Donnie sprang to his feet and slammed his Bo staff in front of them, making them freeze.

"Leo drives," he said simply. Leo, looking smug, moved around his brothers and sat in the driver's seat. "Why?" the other two asked in unison. "He's least likely to hit something just for fun." "True," they said. "So, what're our stations?" I asked. "Over there," Donnie gestured to the back. "Raph, you're on weapons station. Mikey, you've got navigation, and no fooling around or else," he added, pointing a threatening finger at the orange-banded turtle. The two brothers went past me and sat down at their assigned stations, sitting in their seats and getting the feel of the area. 

Raph's spot had what looked like the trigger to some weapon, and Mikey sat in front of a screen that had a huge map on it. "Cleo, you're in weapons with Raph," said Donnie. "You can help him reload if necessary and you'll take control of the cannon when needed. Think you can handle it?" I grinned and gave him a playful salute. "Sir, yes sir!" Donnie grinned. "Good." He turned and went to his station as I went to mine and sat down in the seat behind Raph. I reached up to grab the seatbelt and put it on, the other two doing the same.

"So," I heard Leo call from the front. "How do we get this baby going?" I turned my head around to look at Donnie and saw that he was communicating with Leo through one of the several screens that were set up in front of him. "Okay, just ease the throttle forward, ever so slight-" But before he could even finish, the car lunged forward and started moving quickly, causing all of us to jerk back and shout in surprise.

I let out an excited laugh, and Raph whooped. "Whoo! What's powering this thing?" "The Kraang power cell we got from Leatherhead," Donnie answered. "I thought you said that was dangerous," Leo said worriedly. "Like the Kraang could track it." "That's why I put it under a lead glass shield," Donnie folded his arms, looking as smug as before. "Now, I can regulate the output and prevent the Kraang from detecting its signal."

"I hate to interrupt," Mikey called up. "But dead end!" My head snapped up to look at the screens, and my jaw dropped when I saw a fast-approaching solid brick wall. "Uh, D-Donnie!" Leo called nervously. "How do I stop this thing?" "Don't!" "What?" "Trust me!"  I reached up and grabbed the back of my head rest, desperate for something to hold onto. I didn't know what Donnie was thinking, but I hoped it wasn't going to get us killed.

The rest of the boys started screaming as the wall got closer and closer, and eventually I screamed too. The only one who wasn't screaming was Donnie, who, for some reason, had a smile on his face. Donnie then reached over and pressed a button on his station, and the wall in front of us suddenly opened up to a ramp, revealing the street outside. We drove up the ramp and swung out into the street before Leo pressed the gas and we spud off. "Donnie, you're awesome!" Raph yelled out happily. "Hope you got that on camera, Donnie!" I called up to him. "Cause he's probably never gonna say that again!" Donnie laughed. "Worth it!"

Cleo's POV:
"This thing have a stereo?" Mikey asked. "Yeah, what kind of speakers you got on this baby?" I asked, sounding excited. "What good would this thing be without some tunes?" Donnie asked. "And I built in an advanced surround sound stereo." He reached up to a set of buttons that sat on the wall beside him and pressed one, and what was obviously classical piano music started playing throughout the car.

"Are you serious?" Raph said, not sounding impressed anymore. I raised my brow as I turned to look at my brother. "Yeah, no offense Don, but I'm more of a rock and metal kinda girl." But Donnie just grinned. "Check out the second movement." He pressed another button, and suddenly heavy metal music starting roaring through the speakers on full blast. 

I blinked, slightly surprised, but very pleased. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" I shouted above the music. "Don't fight the metal, dudette!" Mikey shouted happily. I laughed as the others started dancing in their seats- minus Leo of course- and pretty soon I was dancing with them. Mikey was so amped up that he jumped up and stood up on his chair. What made things a more fun was how fast Leo was going and the way he swerved and turned, making the car sway. The people outside probably thought some rogue teens were going for a joyride in a graffiti covered tank. Well... technically, they'd be right.

Leo made a very sharp turn that caused the car to tip slightly. Mikey hollered as he leaped up and grabbed the safety handles from the top of the car, and he ended up swaying with the car's movements. Soon Donnie got up and joined him, then me, and then Raph. Leo started making the car do doughnuts, and the force swung us around on the bars. We whooped and hollered, laughing our heads off. I couldn't remember the last time we had this much fun. Leo then gave sharp twist, and the doughnuts ended. The boys and I dropped down from the bars and started to make our way back to our stations. 

All except Raph, who leaped up and opened the top hatch of the car. I looked up to see him hanging here, looking smug. I rolled my eyes. A second later he started banging his fist on the roof. "Leo, pull over!" Raph shouted. Steadily, Leo pulled the car over and put it to a stop. Raph dropped back inside as we all hopped out of our seats and ran to the front where Leo still sat in the driver's seat. I looked up at the screen that showed the outside and immediately saw- you guessed it- the Purple Dragons. The leader, I'm still calling him Goatee, seemed to be carrying a large box, obviously stolen.

"Purple Dragons!" Leo laughed. "This night just keeps getting better and better!" "Oh yeah!" Raph jeered, cracking his knuckles. "It's like candy for my knuckles, and tonight's Halloween!" I smirked over at the others. "Not too old for Trick-or-Treating yet, are yah, boys?" "Wait a minute," Donnie squinted at the screen. "Who's that?"

I turned to look back up at the screen and noticed a fourth figure out there, crouched on top of a dumpster. I couldn't see him clearly in the dark, but I could tell he was looking down at the Dragons. The gang halted as soon as they saw the figure on the dumpster and looked up at him. "Excuse me, boys, I think you forgot to pay for that," the figure stood up. "But don't worry. I accept cash, check, or teeth!" 

"Huh... That was a pretty good line," Leo said, sounding impressed. "Yeah," I said. "He could probably give you some tips." Leo glared at me for a second before looking back at the screen. "What're you gonna do?" Goatee tanted as he dropped the box of stolen items. "There's one of you and three of us." "Oh, you wanna call a couple friends, make it even?" The figure jumped down from the dumpster, standing tall in front of the gang. "This guy's got guts!" Raph said, very impressed. The vigilante walked towards the Dragons, and I was able to see that he was tall and slightly heavyset. "It's time to feel the wrath of... The Pulverizer!" Mikey giggled. "This is gonna be great!"

The Pulverizer finally made a move, and resorted to flail his arms and legs, making pathetic punches and kicks. He looked like he was trying to beat off an annoying fly. "Or not..." Leo said slowly. The Pulverizer stood in front of the Dragons, who cracked their knuckles and started to march forward. "Oh, geez..." I sighed. The second the kid got punched me and the boys made a loud "ooh!" I closed my eyes and turned away when I saw a particularly hard hit get delivered to the guy's throat. I don't know why, but I really hate neck injuries! "Oh, the Pulverizer's gettin' just..." Mikey paused. "Well, I don't know the word, but we gotta help him!" I was the first to reach the car door and I was the first to jump out and start running towards the poor kid. 

As I ran, I could see him picking himself off the ground, the Dragons standing over him. It was clear that they weren't done with him yet. But before anything else could happened me and the others ran forward and surrounded them, weapons drawn. "How do you like the odds now, Fong?" Leo asked, cracking his knuckles. "Wow! The turtles!" The Pulverizer said, beaming up at us. "How does he know who we-" But Donnie was cut off as Goatee ran up and punched him.

I glared at him and ran forward, tessen in hand. He turned around in time to block my oncoming punch, but I side kicked him in the leg and then hit his jaw with the end of my fan. He went down just as I felt something grab my ankle and yank, causing me to fall. I quickly flipped onto my back and jumped back up to my feet. It was Mustache, and he was running straight at me.

"Cleo, duck!" At Leo's voice I quickly ducked down, and a second later there was the sound of flesh against flesh, and I saw Mustache go down. I straightened back up and looked around. Bulky was down and Mustache was still fighting Leo, but where was Goatee? I whipped my head around to look for him and spotted him, running away with the box of stolen goods. "Leo!" I shouted. "Fong's getting away!" he yelled. "Oh no, he doesn't!" I turned to see Mikey whip out his kusarigama chain and swung it out towards Goatee, but...

"I got him!" The Pulverizer ran at Goatee, reaching for him. But he ended up getting caught in Mikey's chain and fell to the ground. Goatee continued running, went through an alley, and disappeared. "Oh dang," Pulverizer groaned. "Almost had him." "Not cool, man," said Mikey, yanking his chain back and pulling it off of Pulverizer. Suddenly, the sound of police sirens echoed in the distance. Bulky and Mustache turned and ran after their leader.

"Cops!" Leo yelled. "We gotta go!" At once we all turned and ran off, sprinting towards the Shellraiser. I put my tessen in its sheath before running after the others. "Oh, hey!" I heard Pulverizer shout. "Uh, great teamwork guys!" "Look," Raph stopped by the car door as the rest of us jumped in. "I don't know who you think you are, or what you think you're doin', but don't!" The dude appeared not to have heard him. "Yeah, maybe sometimes we can get together and-"

Raph grabbed the guy, turned him around, and jumped into the car and slammed the doors shut. "Well, that was disappointing," I said as I sat in my station. "Tell me about it," Raph groaned as he slumped in his seat. Leo started the car up and drove just as Donnie turned the music back on. I started head banging slightly to the music, but I couldn't help but notice that the beat seemed off at times. "You guys hear something?" Leo asked. "Besides the music, no," I answered. The others made similar statements, and the ride continued on without any altercations.

I think I must have dozed off on the way home, because I soon found myself being shaken awake by Raph. "Wake up, Sleepin' Beauty," he said, shoving my shoulders. "We're home." "Yeah, yeah..." I mumbled, taking my seat belt off and standing up. I stretched my back out as I followed the boys to the car door. They opened up, and I heard thud outside that sounded like somebody falling on the ground. Donnie, who was in the front, poked his head out to look.

"We got a problem!" He stepped out, and the rest of us leaned out to look. I looked down and saw, to my surprise, the Pulverizer lying face down on the ground. Donnie knelt beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "What the-?" Leo snapped. "Oh, no," I said, jumping down to kneel next to the Pulverizer. 

"We must've accidently dragged him off with us." "Are you okay?" Donnie asked, helping the Pulverizer sit up. "Oh, sure," he groaned and gripped his stomach. "Ugh... Y-you can survive with just one kidney, right?" "I'm sure kidneys are still intact, dude," I told him. I lifted my head up to see the others had gotten out, and Raph was glaring down at the Pulverizer. "Great!" he snapped. "First this doofus gets in the way of a good Purple Dragon stompin', and now he knows where our lair is?" "Oh, no problem," Pulverizer piped up. "I blacked out most of the way here."

I touched his shoulder. "You sure you're okay?" Pulverizer turned to look at me. A second later his eyes widened, and he gave me a goofy grin. "Wow..." he leaned in closer, and I backed my face away. "You're way prettier up close!" I stared at him with widen eyes, feeling uncomfortable. "Uhh..." Before I could say anything, I was grabbed by the shoulders and brought to my feet. I turned my head in time to see that it was Raph. He got in front of me and leaned over to poke Pulverizer hard in the chest. "Back off, buddy," he growled. "She's not on the market."

Raph stood up in front of me, folding his arms as the Pulverizer rubbed the spot on his chest where Raph had poked him. "Thanks," I whispered. "No problem." "Anyways," Donnie stood up. "How do you even know we exist?" "Oh, I saw you months ago!" the Pulverizer sprang to his feet as he beamed at us. "I was doing my homework when I heard noises outside. I looked out my window across the street at the building next door, and I saw you guys fighting this guy in a giant metal suit." "Stockman," I said, looking at the others, who all exchanged looks before looking back at Pulverizer.

"Go on," said Leo. "Oh, it was awesome!" he pointed at Leo, "You were like, 'Let's finish this!'" he pointed at Raph, "Oh, and you were like all 'You're goin' down!'" he pointed at Mikey, "Oh, and then you were like all, "Bees...!'" he pointed at me. "You were all 'That's what I'm talking about!'" he pointed at Donnie, "Oh, and you were like... you were like the strong silent type..."

"You should talk during a fight more," I whispered to Donnie, who raised his brow at me. "Dudes," said Mikey. "We-have-a stalker!" "You inspired me to become a hero!" Pulverizer continued. "I saw you guys and thought, 'what do they got that I haven't got?'" "Years of training under a grand master of ninjutsu," Donnie said bluntly. 

"No, an awesome costume! Where'd you get yours, by the way," he looked at me. "And why aren't you wearing one?" "Uhh, we're not wearing costumes," said Donnie. "We're mutants." "Except for me," I said. "I am, in fact, human." "Right," Pulverizer said sarcastically. But he looked at us for a second before reaching over and poking Mikey's arm, then touching his shell. "Cool! How do I do that?" "You! Stop talking!" Raph snapped, then he turned to face us. "We gotta get him outta here." "How do you purpose we do that?" I asked. "Wow! This place is amazing!" a voice shouted. "Hey, what's with all the pizza boxes?"

We all turned around and saw that the Pulverizer was now running around inside the living room. "Oh, heck no," I said as me and the others leaped up over the turnstiles. By the time we got into the living room the Pulverizer had already gotten into Donnie's lab. We all ran in there after him and saw him holding a small beaker of liquid. "Hey!" Donnie snapped, snatching the beaker and putting it down. "Don't touch that!" "Hey, what's this?" Pulverizer picked up a Kraang-droid remote that we had gotten from our last Kraang fight. 

Donnie glared and snatched it out of his hands. "That looks like the stuff those guys were stealin'," said Pulverizer. "That's impossible," said Donnie. "It's Kraang tech." "Wh-what's a Kraang?" "If we told you, we'd have to kill you," Raph said, then paused for a moment. "... You see, the Kraang are aliens from another dimension."

Both me and Leo shoved Raph's shoulders. "Why would the Purple Dimwits want Kraang robotics?" Leo asked. "It's not like they know what to do with it." "Unless their stealing it for someone else," said Raph. "Who do we know who would be interesting in stolen, evil robot parts?" Donnie asked, rubbing his chin. 

We all looked around, thinking for a moment. Then it hit me. Donnie, Raph, Leo and I all said "Baxter Stockman," at the same time. But Mikey said "Donatello." We all turned to look at him, and he looked at us. "Baxter Stockman," he said finally. "We'll check it out," said Leo. "Donnie, fix the Shellraiser and take Captain Rubberpants home." "What?" he snapped. "Wait! Why do I have to...?"

But they were got before he could stop them. "Cleo!" Donnie grabbed my arm. "Please, don't leave me with him!" I stared up at him before leaning over to look at Pulverizer. He saw me looking at him and, leaning against the lab table, smirked and winked at me. I cringed. "Sorry, bro!" I said, prying Donnie's hand off me. "No can do!" "Wait, Cleo!" Donnie shouted. "Don't do this to me! Cleo!" But I just waved as I ran out of the lab.

It wasn't hard for us to find Stockman. Turns out he was hiding out in the same place he was when he first made his Mousers. The guys and I stayed quiet and stealthy as we made our way through the facility, navigating our way to where Stockman was. We found him eventually, along with the Purple Dragons.

Once Leo gave us the signal, we all jumped down from the ceiling beams and landed before them. "Baxter Stockman!" Leo said, and said person looked around at us. "Whatever you're up to with those robotic parts, it ends now!" Stockman smirked, and I couldn't help but feel creeped out at the way he was looking at us. 

"You wanna see what I'm working on? Well, here it comes." He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. From behind him leapt a large red creature that was obviously a giant mutant fish, and it landed in front of us. It had been a long time since any of us had seen Xever. In fact, the last time we saw him was the night we first fought the Shredder. He had gotten hit with mutagen and turned into a fish. He was still a fish, but he now appeared to have some sort of water tubes attached to the spots where his gills were. What was more, he had now been given a pair of giants, robotic legs.

We all stared at Xever, surprised for a moment. A second later we all burst into fits of laughter. "Look!" Leo jeered. "Sushi that delivers itself!" I snorted. Xever growled at us. He then punched a nearby file cabinet so that it was launched into the air. He leapt up and used his leg to kick the cabinet, and it shot down at us. We all leapt away to avoid collision, and the cabinet hit the wall instead. "I don't know about you," I said. "But I don't like it when my sushi's violent." "Dude, Fishface is a little sensitive!" Mikey exclaimed. "You're calling him 'Fishface'?" Leo asked. "Well, it was that or 'Robocarp'." "I personally like the first choice." I spoke. 

Suddenly, Fishface leapt forward and kicked Mikey in his chest, sending him flying backwards. He slammed into the wall and fell in a heap. "Ugh... Pretty good, pretty good..." he groaned. "Important safety tip," said Raph. "Avoid the legs!" The red-banded turtle charged at Fishface, sais raised. The mutant fish leaped up, aiming a kick at Raph's face, and Raph ducked to avoid it.

He went forward for a jab, but Fishface leapt back so that his legs landed against the wall, then pushed himself off, heading straight for Raph. Before I could see what happened I heard footsteps from behind us. I whipped around and saw Goatee running straight at me. I glared at him before I reached into my pockets and threw a few stars at him. He stopped running and ducked out of the way of the stars.

"Nice try, dude," I said. "Don't do it again. "What do yah got besides legs?" I heard Raph taunt. I turned back around and was surprised to see that Raph was now using his sais to pin Fishface by his legs against the wall. Fishface growled at him before leaning up, hissing loudly, and suddenly clapped his jaws into Raph's shoulder. "Aggh!" Raph used his sais to punch Fishface in his jaw, and the mutant fish released him before stepping away, groaning in pain. Raph stumbled back, dropping his sais as he gripped his shoulder. I gasped when he suddenly fell to his knees. "Teeth..." he groaned. "I think they're... poison..." 

 And Raph fell forward onto his plastron. "Raph!" I shouted. At once, Mikey and I both ran forward and knelt beside Raph, turning him onto his shell so we could see him. "Raph, are you okay?" Mikey asked urgently. "Huh? Sure... yeah..." Raph opened his eyes, and I could see them rolling around, making him look disoriented. At that moment I saw movement from in front of me and looked up. The Purple Dragon, Bulky, was running straight at us, his fist raised. He was about to attack, and Mikey, who still had his eyes on Raph, hadn't seen him yet.

"Mikey, watch-" But before I could even finish Mikey lifted up his nunchuck, wrapped it around Bulky's wrist, and threw the big guy right over us, all without even looking away from his brother. Staring in surprise for only a second, I quickly looked back down at Raph. He lazily lifted one of his hands up and Mikey grasped it, I put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it gently. "Raph, are you sure you're okay?" "Wha...? Ooh... I'm fine..." Raph's eyes continued to roll, and he turned his head towards me. "I love you..." I blinked. "Oh no..." 

"He's not fine!" Mikey shouted. "Call Donnie!" Leo ordered, gripping his katanas. "Tell him we need an antidote. Cleo, stay there and keep the others away from Mikey and Raph." I nodded before looking back down at Raph. Mikey took out his T-Phone and dialed Donnie's number. "C'mon, c'mon..." he whined. "Easy, Mikey," I said, trying to keep him calm. We both looked around the room, him still gripping Raph's hand and me holding Raph's shoulder, both trying to make sure no one came near us. "Got it!" I looked around as I heard Donnie's voice on the other line. 

"Donnie! We need help!" Mikey cried. "Raph's been bitten by a giant, poisonous, robotic fish!" "That's not possible!" I heard Donnie say. "If he was bitten it's venom, not poison." Mikey seemed to be glaring at the phone. "Interesting, interesting... GET OVER HERE!" I backed away slightly, surprised at Mikey's outburst. But honestly, I couldn't blame him with the situation going on.

"Alright, alright! Just stay on the line, I'll be right there!" "Mikey..." Raph groaned, and he giggled. "You're so smart... like the smartest guy I know... Heh..." "Oh brother," I muttered. "Guys! You still there?" Donnie's voice came from the phone. "Yeah, we're still here!" I spoke. "What're his symptoms?" "He keeps telling me I'm the smartest guy he knows," said Mikey. "Okay okay, he's delusional..." Donnie muttered. "How's his color?" "Green, man. And I mean, way more than usual!" 

My head snapped up when I saw movement, and I saw Stockman and Mustache both standing behind us, the Dragon with gas tank and the other with a pipe. I glared up at them as Mikey snapped his head around to stare daggers at them. They both gave us looks of surprise before we both sprang at them, Mikey going at Stockman. I leapt up and kicked the tank out of Mustache's hands before doing a handstand on his shoulders.

I flipped forward, bringing him back with me so that he was bending backwards. I glared down at him before flattening my hand and giving him a hard chop on his Adam's apple. He gaged as I spun around and flipped him over, and he landed on the ground in a heap. He groaned in pain as I looked over to see that Mikey was standing over Stockman, who had his hands held up in the air in surrender.

"Does he have any nausea?" Donnie asked urgently. "Nah, he doesn't have any-" But Mikey was cut off as we both heard a harsh grunting, and then a sickening splash. I pinched my nose before turning around to see a pile of sick just a few inched from Raph's face. "Ooh! Check that!" Mikey groaned in disgust, but then his eyes widened. "What the-I knew you ate my pizza! You liar!"

Ignoring the smell, I ran forward and grabbed Raph's shoulders. "Mikey, help me move him!" Mikey ran forward and gripped his legs. Together we both helped move him, avoiding the pile of mess. Suddenly there was a yell from behind me and I whipped around. I looked just in time to see Fishface slam Leo into the ground with his metal, robotic leg. 

Fishface lifted his head up and smirked at us. "Donnie, get here now!" Mikey yelled into the phone. I sprang to my feet. "Mikey, stay with Raph!" I yanked my kamas out as I ran out towards Fishface, who took his foot off Leo and ran at me as well. I threw my right kama straight at him, and it just barely missed his head as he ducked.

I leapt up, raising my kama as I came down towards him. But he sprang up, grabbed my wrist, and then threw me to the floor. I lost my grip on my kama as I rolled over a few times. Once I had stopped, I lifted my head, and gasped when I saw Mikey get kicked across the room by Fishface. "Mikey!"

Suddenly the wall opposite exploded, and the Shellraiser burst from it. It swerved and skidded to a halt before the cannon on top turned towards Fishface. There was a loud bang, and what looked like a ball of compressed garbage shot out and slammed into Fishface, knocking him aside. "So, that's what it's for," I muttered.

The car doors opened, and both Donnie and the Pulverizer jumped out and ran over to us. I got to my feet and grabbed my kamas as I ran over to join them near the still disoriented Raph. "Raph, you still with us, buddy?" Donnie said as he kneelt beside his brother. Raph turned his head to face him. 

"Donnie?" "Yeah, Raph?" "Why are there fingers on my feet?" I covered my mouth as I let out a small giggle. Now that the situation had died down, I felt no need to hold back. "Hang in there, buddy," Donnie said as he pulled out a syringe gun. "You'll be okay." He lowered the syringe and stuck the needle in Raph's arm. Raph closed his eyes, shaking his head, and a moment later he reopened his eyes, and this time he looked much more focused.

"Thanks... magical unicorn..." I raised my eyebrow. "Are you sure that worked?" "It'll be a minute until it takes effect," Donnie said as he helped Raph to his feet. "But he'll be fine." "That was awesome!" The Pulverizer cheered. "We saved him!" "We saved him?!" Donnie snapped. "You wanted to stop and sell ice cream! If I hadn't jumped and smashed through that wall-!"

"Uh, Donnie?" Mikey spoke up. "Is the Shellraiser supposed to do that?" We all turned to face the Shellraiser, and I received a shock when I saw glowing, pink electricity traveling over the car. "Oh, no..." Donnie muttered. He sprinted to the Shellraiser, and we all followed him. As soon as he was in Donnie ran to the back and kneeled down to where the powercell lay beneath its glass shield.

Except now, it had multiple cracks on the glass. "It's cracked," said Donnie. "Oh, this is bad. The Kraang can detect that energy signature. We gotta get back underground before they come looking for the power cell!" "To your stations, ninjas!" Leo ordered. "We're movin' out!" 

At once we all ran to our designated stations. I took my seat and gripped the edges tightly as the car started up. We swerved tightly before speeding out of the hole in the wall and out onto the road. "How far away are we from the entrance?" Leo asked. "20 minutes," said Donnie. "15 if you go fast enough." At once Leo pressed harder on the gas and the car sped up. Then, from outside, I thought I heard the sound of a helicopter flying above us. Cautiously, I stood up and looked around, and on one of the screens showed several white vans driving behind us.

"Leo," I said warningly. "Hang on," he said. He pressed on the gas, and we started going even faster. I watched the screen as a Kraang-droid leaned out of one of the vans, holding a laser gun, and started firing at us. "Hold her steady, Leo," said Raph. "I'll take care of these jokers!" He buckled up in his seat before his station turned, and a door in the back of the car opened.

Raph's seat slid out, along with the manhole cover launcher attached to it, and started firing covers at the vans. "I gotta try that sometime," I said to myself. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the roof above us. I looked over at one of the screens, and it showed two Kraang-droids standing on top of the car. "Guys, that Kraang are on the roof!" Leo yelled. 

Both Mikey and Donnie leapt up from their stations and opened the hatch on the roof. They both leapt out, withdrawing their weapons. A second later I heard Mikey yell. "Leo, Kraang can fly! Kraang can fly!" I heard a loud smack, and gasped. Without hesitation I jumped up and pulled myself out of the hatch into the open. I looked around to see Donnie fighting off all three droids, knocking them off the van. I turned my head around and saw Mikey crawling back up onto the roof of the car. "Mikey, are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm cool!" "Wow!" I heard Pulverizer exclaim from inside. "No one told me they were robot aliens!" "Why would we tell you?" Leo snapped.

I held on tightly as we ran over a large group of Kraang-droids. I let go of the edge and dropped back down into the car. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved and seemed to spin off in another direction. There was a loud crash as we slammed into what was probably a wall. The force knocked me off my feet and I fell hard on my back. I groaned in pain and annoyance as I pushed myself up. I looked up to see Leo reaching up to open the hatch on the roof, and Raph ran past me. "C'mon, Cleo!" he said. I nodded as I sprang to my feet, following both of them out onto the roof. 

As soon as I was out, I yanked out my kamas and leapt off the car, heading straight for a pair of Kraang droids. I dodged their lasers and slash both of their heads as I ran between them. I ran up to another one and crouched down as I spun and slashed at its legs. I raised one kama and slammed it down, the blade slicing through the head. The alien popped out and squealed before running off. I turned my head, and across the street I saw a single droid running straight for a nearby helicopter, and in his hands was none other than the powercell.

"He's got the cell!" Leo shouted. "I'll stop him!" the Pulverizer said as he ran after the droid. "Pulverizer, no!" Donnie yelled. "I can do this!" Donnie protested. "You really can't!" I felt something grab my arm, and I spun my left kama before swinging it over and slicing off the arm of the droid that had grabbed me. I looked up and found myself staring down the barrel of a gun. As it started to power up, I kicked it up and sliced through the droid's legs. It fell down on its hands and I kicked it in its head, causing said head to spin around. I sprang to my feet and turned. The second I heard the sound of a flying helicopter; I knew what had happened. 

I looked up to see the chopper already high in the sky, no doubt with the powercell inside. I glance down ahead of me and saw Donnie helping Pulverizer to his feet. Pulverizer walked forward, staring up at the slowly disappearing helicopter. "Oh man, looks like I mucked everything up, didn't I?" he said miserably, turning to face us. "Hey bro, it's not your fault," Mikey said sympathetically. "Um, actually, Mikey, it is," Leo said bluntly. "Oh yeah..." "Not completely," Donnie piped up. "I'm the one who sent the Shellraiser through the wall, and that's what cracked the powercell..." 

I looked sadly at my brother, who was hanging his head slightly. I took a step towards him and put a hand on his shell, rubbing it gently. Donnie turned to look at me, grinning slightly. "Ah, so..." we all turned to look at Pulverizer. "Think we could pick up our training again sometime?" Donnie walked forward, putting a hand on Pulverizer's shoulder, an unreadable expression on his face. "No," he said firmly. "Fine," Pulverizer grinned. "But I'll be practicing, and I'll be back. And wherever crime may roam, wherever help is-" "Bye!" we all said in unison. Pulverizer slumped slightly as he turned and started to walk away. 

Then he stopped, turned, and looked directly at me. He smiled as he held his hand up to his ear, his pinky and thumb sticking out, and mouthed the words 'call me.' I folded my arms as I shook my head. "Uh-uh, not gonna happen, dude." Pulverizer shrugged. "Eh, worth a shot." And with that, he turned and finally started to leave. "Weirdo," Raph said to me. "Tell me about it," I said. "Good thing I've got standards." "I've gotta figure out how we're getting that powercell back!" Donnie said determinedly, punching a fist into his palm. "Which raised the question," said Leo. "How're we gonna get the Shellraiser home?"

(-)

You know why I don't get? Why Donnie didn't have a backup plan in case we lose the powercell. That way we would have another way home other than having to push it back. "Are you sure the parking brake isn't on?" Raph asked angrily. "For the hundredth time, YES!" Donnie shouted. "Did you check and make sure?" I asked. There was a few seconds silence. "Donnie, I swear!" Raph yelled. Still silence. Then the doors of the car opened, and Donnie poked his head out. "Sorry, guys," he said sheepishly. "Uh, try it now." "Donnie!" I yelled as the others groaned and yelled his name. "Well, nothing left to do but push..."
