Turtles Forever

Darkness Within

The kitten, Klunk, was watching the turtles as they were fixing up the Battle Shell.

"Donnie, these techno brainstorms of yours have gotta stop!" Raph said as Donnie walked up with a blowtorch in his hand.

"Are you kidding me?" Donnie questioned, putting his goggles on. "When we're done, the Battle Shell will be sheered and-" But, a knock on the garage door interrupts them.

"Guys! Guys, are you in there?!" Angel called out from the outside, still banging loudly. They ran to the garage door and open it to see the teenage girl standing in front of them.

"Angel?" Donnie asked.

"Something terrible has happened!" Angel exclaimed. She lunges forward into Mikey, hugging him. He hugs her back, trying to calm her down.

The four brothers, along with Mona, Venus and Alopex were in the the Battle Shell, driving on the road. Splinter volunteered to look after the new born baby, spending time with his new granddaughter.

"Where are we going?" Donnie questioned.

"Wall street and Hanover." Angel explained, pointing him in the direction to drive.

"Take the West side highway." Leo said. Mikey smiles teasingly.

"Wall street? Is this about your portfolio? Too many tech stocks, huh?" He joked, looking at the map. Angel held out a gold coin to him. Mikey's eyes widen in surprise. "Whoa..." He takes it, inspecting the coin.

"Gold? No way!" He commented.

"Angel, where'd you get a gold coin?" Raph questioned.

"My brother gave it to me. He found it at the construction job he was working at, the Volpeharp building." Angel explained.

"It's dated 1611." Mikey murmured, looking at her. "Oh, your brother found buried treasure?"

"I told him not to go back. I told him I had a bad feeling about it. That was three days ago. Since then, nothing" Angel covered her eyes.

"What did the police say?" Leo asked.

"They said they were too busy with the fallout from the invasion to go look for some punk on a treasure hunt." Angel sniffed. Raph hugged her.

"It's okay," He said. "We're going to get 'im back."

The van turned around the corner and saw a very large old building.

"That's it. That's the Volpehart building." Angel said. Donnie stopped the van. The group walked out and heading towards the very ominous building. There were gargoyles at the top of the door, staring down at them.

"Man, talk about creepy central!" Mikey exclaimed.

"I don't get it." Donnie spoke. "What kind of a building on Wall street doesn't have any security?"

"Guys..." Mikey called out. "Look. C. F. Volpehart. 1616. Whoa, could this place be any more like Castle Dracula?"

"Come to me." A dark voice called out. Angel and Alopex gasped.

"Who said that?" Angel and Alopex asked at the same time, looking around.

"Said what? Are you okay?" Leo questioned.

"It's -It's probably my imagination." Angel explained. "I'm a little freaked out, that's all."

"Come to me." The two girls both heard the voice spoke again. "Find the way." Quietly, Alopex walked over to a tapestry and lifted it up. Underneath it was a button, that had an eye on fire above a pyramid. She pressed it and it began glowing. She gasp as the place started to rumble until a hidden floor open up, making an underground passageway. Everyone looked down at it, curiously.
