"Guys." started Donnie "I'm tracing the power of Technodrome's force field. It's coming from the direction of Channel 6."

"You know what to do Donnie." said Leo "Take the Turtle Bike and get over there."

"You guys have a turtle bike?" asked Cyclops.

"Yeah, doesn't everyone?" joked Raph.

From a secret compartment in the back of the van the Turtle Bike stood. Donnie hopped on and revved it up.

"I always wanted to ride this thing." said Donnie, excitedly.

"I'll go too." said Storm, before both her and Donnie jumped out from the back of the Turtle Van.

Inside the Technodrome, Upper Area 5:35am

"Watch them run." laughed Shredder sadistically, seeing the view of the New York citizens running from their homes and being attacked by stone soldiers on a giant computer screen "Soon this whole city will crumble."

"Actually I had something else in mind." interrupted Magneto.

"What is that?" asked Shredder.

"I was thinking something along the lines of a full global takeover"

"Yes." pondered Shredder "And then all mankind will be mine to rule."

"The drones are ready." Stockman interrupted, stepping through the door.

"Good." smirked Shredder "Soon I'll have an entire army of mutants under my control. And then I'll be able to annihilate those meddlesome turtles!"

"I'm afraid your little vendetta will have to take a backseat to my plans." said Magneto.

"What?!?" stormed Shredder, before being thrown into a by Magneto's power.

"Since I was so kind to bring the Technodrome here to you, I figured that it only fair that the two of us work together to unite ALL mutantkind. What do you say?"

"We had a deal..." grunted Shredder, trying to move, but failing.

"OUR DEAL has just been terminated. Either join us... or die. What is your choice?"

Shredder, feeling the metal on his body tightening agreed to join Magneto and his cause. Magneto, after letting Shredder down turned to open up a hole in the Technodrome wall. Together, with Mystique and Stockman by his side, they stepped onto the torn plate from the Technodrome and watched the chaos below them.

All the way on the other side of the city Donatello had parked the Turtle Bike outside Channel 6 and taken an elevator all the way up to very top of the building, where Storm was waiting.

"Sorry I'm late." apologized Donnie, hooking his computer to the large antenna "I forgot my grappler."

"Well I hope ya don't mind if I bring mine!" chuckled a voice from above them.

Donatello and Storm looked up to see Pyro, standing near the top of the antenna, with his fire guns in tact.

"Pyro." said Storm.

"That's my name..." started Pyro, before jumping from antenna and onto the roof "Don't wear it out."

"Go hack the system, I'll take care of this." said Storm, getting in front of Donatello ready to fight Pyro.

     Donatello ran to the antenna with his computer in under his arm, while Storm and Pyro eyed one another down.

"Good luck." laughed Pyro "Even if you do hack the systems I'm still going to get the enjoyment out of frying ya."

"Try it." said Storm.

     Pyro, with a smirk on his face, shot a fireball at Storm, who flipped out of the way just in time. Pyro, now with a grimace, shot two more fireballs, which Storm also dodged.

"You're quick, I'll give ya that." seethed Pyro "But let's see ya dodge this!"

     Pyro, after adjusting his flame guns started shooting a strand of fire towards Storm as she ducked down and rolled across the roof.

"Nice move, but now it's my turn." said Storm, summoning the clouds above Pyro.

     Rain poured down over Pyro, extinguishing his flame and screwing up his guns.

"Shit!" shouted Pyro, as the rain subsided.

"Sorry to rain on your parade." joked Storm.

"Very funny." said Pyro "But the jokes are over."

With a sinister smile on his face, Pyro reached into his pocket, pulling out a needle with a green liquid inside. After injecting it into his arm he threw off the guns and immediately became engulfed in flames.

"You're going to need more than rain to put me out."

Pyro lifted his leg, kicking his foot into the air. A long wide strand of flames shot in Storm's direction. Storm, trying to dodge the best she could, was hit by the barreling flames. She got back up to see Pyro standing closer to her, in a fighting position. Storm entered her fighting position as well and began with a quick punch. Pyro moved his, avoiding the punch and then swept his right leg up for a kick. Storm ducked as the heated kick whizzed right above her head. She tried for the same move, but Pyro also ducked, punching Storm in the stomach. Storm clutched to her stomach as Pyro's right leg came in for a roundhouse kick. Storm laid on the rooftop, as Pyro towered over.

"Wasn't even a challenge." smirked Pyro, lifting his hands up to create a massive ball of fire.

"Done." shouted Donnie, finishing his hacking, and distracting Pyro.

Storm, as soon as Pyro was distracted, kicked Pyro in the chest, causing him to send the fireball into the antenna making it fall towards him.

"Oh fu..."

     As soon as the antenna slammed down onto Pyro, catching him inside and falling off the building, Storm and Donatello were gone, heading back towards the Technodrome to join the others for the final battle.
