THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. Kylie's heart beat in an unorthodox manner as she anxiously waited for her brother's phone call. She had been home from her classes long past her original meeting time and still no word from Casey.

She was starting to grow restless and the patter of her feet was surely starting to annoy the tenants below her brother's apartment. She almost jumps when she hears her phone blast 'BACK IN BLACK' by ACDC. She practically ran to it and answered swiftly.

"Casey! How'd it go? Did you find a location?'

"Even better, I can track their location."

"Great! Where are they at?"

"Their in route currently. I'm going to tail the locations their visiting. But all the paths seem to be heading in place, TCRI."

"TCRI? Doesn't Baxter Stockman practically run that place?" Kylie asked curiosly

"Yeah. But it would surprise me if Shedder's got him in his back pocket."

"Stockman does nanorobotics, what could Shedder possibly want with that?"

"I don't know Ky. The man's a genius, Stockman probably has interest outside of nan-what-o botics."

Kylie rolls her eyes at her brother before staring out the window of the apartment.

"Okay send me the tracking stuff. I'm going to pin up their route and meet you at TCRI okay?"

"Alright, be safe Kylie. The Shredder is no joke."

"I know Case, I'll be careful."

"Alright talk too you soon. Love you kid."

"Love you too."

Kylie ends the calls and makes her way to her bedroom where she already has her outfit laid out. However, she first opens up her computer and pulls up the tracking system her brother sent her and runs through Bebop and Rocksteady's movement.

"Hein, voudriez-vous regarder ça. Casey n'est pas aussi stupide que je le pensais." Kylie says as she sees the boys trail was circling TCRI
(Translation: Huh, would you look at that. Casey isn't as stupid as i thought he was.)

Kylie then checked the time and saw that it was 8:39pm. It would be getting dark soon. She quickly slipped into the black get-up she had assembled and took off towards TCRI.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

Kylie breaks off into a sprint when she sees TCRI in view, she stops and pulls out her phone swiftly to text Casey that she was going inside and not to text or call her. She then put her phone on silent and continued forward, only to almost run into a slightly taller raven haired room.

She stop abruptly, and turns to Kylie.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?!"

"I could ask you the same thing. You don't look like you work at TCRI."

"Well nether do you. What are you doing here kid?"

Kylie crosses her hands across her chest and the older woman does the same. It long after Kylie sighs.

"My name is Kylie. My brother is an NYPD officer and we're investigating Bebop and Rocksteady, who we believe to be inside."

"Then where's the rest of the force? They wouldn't send a kid out here to track criminals."

"My brother was on transportation the night the two of them escaped. He's been suspended." Kylie admits

The older woman softens her stance before nodding.

"My name is April and I'm here investigating Baxter Stockman."

Kylie nods attentively.

"His name came up a few times during our investigation."

April looks back to TCRI and then to Kylie.

"Want to figure out what in the hell is going on up there?"

"Lead the way." Kylie responds before following the noirnette inside.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

April and Kylie crouch against opposite sides of the glass doors of Stockman's personal lab. Thanks to April's information and Kylie's tech skills, they were able to get inside without drawing attention.

April drew a finger to her lips and Kylie nodded as they watched Bebop and Rocksteady inside the lab. Kylie then turns her attention to Stockman and

"When I found this thing, I never could have imagined its significance. But this Commander Krang, he said that this will help open a portal to another dimension?" Stockman asked

"And when we do, we'll join him in dominating this planet. We'll have ultimate power. " Shredder explains

"And indescribable glory. To be responsible for opening the fabric between two worlds! It's..." Stockman says excitedly

"There are other pieces required to open the portal. If those four brothers are still out there, we need to create soldiers that can defeat them with a single blow. And this will help us do that. It needs to be synthesized. Which is where you come in." Shredder says

"Ooh. Here come the brains. Yo, Rock, check this out."

April turns her attention to the criminals Bebop and Rocksteady, who are messing with something in the lab. Kylie keeps her attention on Stockman, she pulls a small notepad out from her jacket pocket and begins to copy some of the numbers of one the canisters.

"Beebs, I got to get myself one of these."

"Think of what we could do with this! I feel like I'm back in science class."

"Now all we need are test subjects." Stockman announced

Shredder loads what looks like a tranquilizer gun.

"Candidates that will easily fall under my command. Large in size. Low in intellect."

The girls watch as Shredder shoots the two with the purple substance

"That stings! And not in a good way."

"What's going on? [laughing] What is happening to us?"

The two crash to the ground and try to pick themselves up. The crashing the nearby tables and workshops, leaving a mess of the place. Kylie watches wide eyed as they transform.

"I don't know, but this feels great!"

"Oh, this is going to be good!"

"This feels funny. Feels like I have ants in my pants."

"Big ants!"

"Miraculous. Inside every human there's a dormant gene which ties us to our animal ancestors. It's as if that purple ooze has returned them to their rightful place in the animal kingdom." Stockman analysis

"Rock! You're a rhinoceros."

"And you're a... I don't know what you are."

"All right, let me look, let me look. I'm a... Huh. I'm a little piggy."

"You're a warthog." Stockman calls

"Hey, Beebs!"

"Yeah, Rock."

"Ever see a rhino charge?"

Rocksteady charges at Bebop knocking him to the ground.

"That hurts."

"I like it!"

"Me, too!"

"Me, too. Prepare the entire container. The more of them we create, the easier it will be to secure the portal."

"My man!" They both say as they chest bump.

"This is awesome! Check out the horn!" Rocksteady says excitedly

"Yeah, baby!"

"Hey, man, check out my tail. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle." Rocksteady wiggles his tail.

Kylie snaps out of her trance to see April slip into the lab. She quickly scrubs down something on her notepad before shoving it back in her pocket.

"That is cool. Do I have one?"

April starts to sprint past Bebop and Rocksteady, she grabs the canister, but Bebop happens to turn around.

"Hey, Rock, who is that?"

April sprints out the lab

"O'Neil. Get that canister!"

Kylie followed behind April quickly as she runs out of the lab.

Stockman hits the emergency lock down button, and Kylie keeps movings as the bars goes down across the windows. Not far behind her foot soldiers chased the two of them. Kylie catches up to April and as the girls make it down the last flight of stairs, the foot soldiers start gaining more speed.

Kylie and April burst out of TCRI and run across the street towards the alley way.

Once there they slow down. Kylie takes a deep breath, only to realize they are being surrounded.

"Whoa whoa...You guys don't really want to do this again, right?" April says

"It doesn't usually work out well for you guys. Because I have the four friends. They're green ninjas."

Kylie turns to her, confused

'Green ninjas?' she thought

But before she can dig deeper, the sound of on of the Foot notes breaks up her thoughts.

"Give us the ooze."

"Not a chance buddy." April says as she moves it right behind her leg.

Kylie gets into a fighting pose, when suddenly a hockey puck hits on of the guys in the back of the head, knocking him down.

Suddenly more hockey pucks hit the foot soldiers, knocking them down to the ground.

Kylie turns around to see the last soldier, try and grab April. As he goes to grab her, Kylie comes up from behind him, forcing him into arm lock. Kylie moves her position upwards, rolling the guys shoulders until she hears a 'pop'. The guys falls to the ground screaming.

April falls at the impact and the ooze rolls out of her hands. Kylie quickly helps her up as the person shooting the hockey pucks, she had a sneaking suspicion it was her brother, reveals themselves. The foot notes get up from the ground and prepare to attack.

One of them goes for the ooze, and the masked person sidekicks him. The impact knocks the ooze out of April's hands and sends it rolling behind the masked man's feet.

The foot begins fighting the masked man, and Kylie stands protectively in front of April; giving her the chance to grab the canister.

Kylie roundhouses one of the soldiers, knocking him into one of the others. The masked person nods at her as they knock another foot soldier to the ground, with their hockey stick. Kylie caught a whiff of his smell, motor oil and cheap cologne. She turned a gave her brother a 'really?' look and he knew that she knew it was him.

April chases after the ooze, she almost grabs it when one of the foot notes throws her into the garbage bags nearby and runs to the canister.

April notices a metal pipe beside her, she picks it up and runs after the foot soldiers. She hits him over the head and tries to grab the canister.

Nearby, Casey and Kylie fight the other foot notes. Casey punches one of the footnotes. Kylie turns around and puts the one behind them in a choke hold, within a few seconds he's out like a light. Casey is knocked down, landing right in front of the canister.

April gets down and reaches across him and grabs the canister.

They get up and knock down the guy behind them.

"Where'd it go?"

April points behind them, and the guy he hit kicks him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Kylie is quick to come to her brother's defense as she sees April take off after the foot note with the ooze.

As Kylie helps Casey up, he quickly gets in position and knocks the foot note in the back of the head with a well placed puck.
The cops roll up as the guy hits the ground. One of the guys get up from the ground and chase April further down the alley way.

Kylie and Casey chase after them, as the cops exit their cars. One of them pick up the ooze in confusion.

As April turns a corner, she runs into a dead end. The foot note appears seconds later, closing her in.

"See, that guy with the hockey stick, and the girl, in the other alley I have nothing to do with that." April explains breathing heavily.

Suddenly Kylie and Casey appear behind the foot note. Having the element of surprise, Kylie is quick to lock his arms and pull, making him drop to the ground in pain

"Well that was fun."

April rolls her eyes and turn to the masked person.

"Thank you. What's your name?"

Casey speaks but its muffled. Kylie rolls her eyes at her brother.

"What's that?" April asked again

They speak again but its hard to hear.

"Stacy Moans?" April guessed

"Oh take off the damn hockey mask you idiot!"

"Oh, uh..." Casey says, eyeing his sister

The Casey removes the mask from their face.

"Casey Jones." The person says

"And I'm Kylie Jones, his little sister."

April nods before turning to Kylie.

"Were you able to get the canister?"

"No, the cops rolled up before I could grab it."

April nods understandingly

"So, who are your 'four green ninja's friends?" Kylie questioned

Casey stared at the two in confusion, not knowing anything about a canister or green ninja friends. But before April can come up with an explanation , a voice is heard from above

"Get away from her!"

The turtles land behind April, Casey pulls April and Kylie behind him

"Hey whoa! Get back. [slowly] Do not eat us. We are not food. The people of Earth are not your enemies. Yeah? Yeah." He says slowly

Kylie turned slightly to April and whispered

"Are these the green ninja's?"

April nods slightly in response. Kylie lets out a quiet hum and turns to examine the turtles. They we're tall, extremely muscular and fascinating. However, the one in the center caught her attention the most. Kylie couldn't figure out if it was the way is royal blue masked brought out his deep blue eyes, but when he turns and makes eye contact with her, she can feel her stomach do summersaults.

"Watch this." The orange one says leaning over to his brothers

"We were sent by the Supreme Leader to eat delicious humans and dip them in ranch dressing." He says seriously, as he half circles Casey

Kylie bites back her laughter as she watches Casey face shift in horror.

"I'm just kidding. I'm a vegan. Except for meat and cheese and eggs."

"Casey, Their my friends." April says

Kylie starts giggling at her brother.

"You idiot. Obviously he was joking. Maybe you don't need to be a detective."

This catches the blue one's attention, he turns to her; giving a slight amused look.

"Oh. Oh, they... They're your friends." Casey says quietly

"Yeah, they're my friends. Tell him."

"Yeah. Donatello over there in the purple, he's a technical genius, who is technically a genius! Raphael over there in the red, he's like a big cuddly teddy bear, if big cuddly teddy bears were incredibly violent. This is Leonardo. He's in the blue. Fearless leader. Silent but deadly. And I'm Michelangelo, sporting my signature orange. I'm a triple threat... Brains, brawn, and obviously a dazzling personality. Ladies like to call me Mikey."

Kylie giggles quietly at Mikey, and the orange clad turtle smile brightly at her.

"Are you done?" Leo says putting a hand on Mikeys shell

"Yeah."

"Sorry we're late, April. You want to walk me through what's going on here?"

"Uh, okay, um, so, uh-" April starts, she then turns to Kylie who was in a quiet conversation with Casey. Raphael and Mikey were listening, smugness written on their faces

"Uh, Kylie can you, help me?"

Kylie turns her head to April and nods before leaving her brother alone with the two other turtles.

Leonardo watches intently as Kylie strides over, her face soft and sweet.

"What do you want to know?" Kylie asked him sweetly.

Leonardo is at a loss for words, in front of him was a beautiful human girl who looked to be his age; who didn't run or scream in terror at the sight of him. Thankfully April speaks

"I'm just giving Leo here the overview of what we saw at TCRI. Some of it's a blur."

Kylie breaks her gaze away from Leonardo and turns to April.

"Oh, okay. Sure you start and I'll continue."

Both April and Kylie turn to Leonardo to begin explaining

"Uh, okay, um, so we went to go see Baxter, but then Shredder was there. And then he was talking about opening up some sort of portal to another dimension, and then he..." April starts, and then motions for Kylie to continue

"He took this purple ooze, and he injected it into Bebop and Rocksteady, the two criminals that escaped with him. And then he turned Rocksteady into a rhinoceros and Bebop into a warthog." Kylie continues

Leo looks at the both of them seriously

"You have eyes on Bebop and Rocksteady?" Casey says from behind Raph

Kylie nods, but before she can say anything Leo steps forward

"Why do you care about those two?" Leo says, nodding to Raph to move out of the way

"Let's just say that I have a vested interest in bringing them to justice."

"Let's get back to the lair. Raph, grab Friday the 13th here and follow. If he can help us find Bebop and Rocksteady, he's coming with." Leo directs

"Ms. Kylie if you would kind enough to join us, you information will be useful." Donnie says from the side

Kylie looks up to him and then back at her brother with amusement

"No, we're not. Not a chance. We're staying right here." Casey says sternly

"I'd agree with you, but you're wrong. See, we, too, share a "vested interest." Raph states

"I don't share anything with you guys."

Kylie goes to make a comment, but Mikey cuts her off.

"Fellas, fellas... Now, the people of New York need us to set aside our differences and work together. Which begs only one question." Mikey then turns between Casey and April

"Are you two guys like a thing or...?"

Kylie laughs as Casey shakes his head, but her laughter come to an abrupt stop when Mikey turns between her and Casey.

"Oh, so you two da' thing?"

Kylie's face turns to pure disgust as April smiles slightly. Casey gives him a grossed out look, confusing Mikey. Raphael, Donatello, and Leonardo share a glance.

"What?"

"He's my brother!"

"She's my sister!"

They says at the same time.

Mikey winks his brows in disgust and his brothers do the same.

"Okay...moving on." Kylie says

She turns to Leonardo, a smile resting in features.

"Lead the way."
