The baron slammed his fist on the ground and began looking around with anger.

Seconds passed then a sharp shrill pierced through the air. The Silver Knight leaped out of her portal with two screaming boys right behind her. She fell with style landing gracefully. Donnie and Casey fell face down. "Come on. We need to get going!" Sil urged, shaking Donnie awake from his awestruck.

"Your portal-"

"Yes, I know," Sil grunted pulling him and Casey up. "We were in space!" Casey clutched at his hair.

"Yes, yes, but we really need to go now!" She said in a hurry as the baron had his men pointing up to the roof. Some of Big Mama's men close behind.

"HOW- Wha- SIL THAT WAS-"

"Amazing, I know but please gush over this later Donnie!" The Silver Knight held his palm tightly and pulled him into a run. Casey yanked by his gear.

A knife flew right at the trio from the front as the goons tried to box them in. Sil ran forwards, slapping her hands to create a powerful burst of energy knocking some goons to the ground. A new portal opened up and the teens jumped in.

They reappeared on another rooftop just up ahead.

And that's how it went. If the bounty hunters got too close for comfort, Sil would portal them to another rooftop. Far enough to get at least a few minutes of a head start before the heat of the chase would pick up again.

"Damn it! There are too many of them!" Casey grumbled, sending another round of explosives toward the hunters. Sil created another portal, transporting the three of them to another rooftop not too far away, just enough to give them a five-minute gap from the goons behind. The portal opened and Donnie and Casey jumped out, adrenaline pumping in their veins all prepared to fight. Sil jumped out after them and landed unceremoniously. "Hey, you good?"

Donnie worriedly checked her over for any wounds. "What's wrong?" Casey asked worriedly.

Sil struggled to stand, sighing "I can only create so many portals at a time. We've been going at this for ten minutes and I have created more than twenty portals. Give or take a few more and I am done for."

Yells could be heard from behind them. Donnie stood up in front of Sil protectively, "Think you can make another portal?" Sil focused all her energy on her fingertips. The tingling sensation began. Sil grunted feeling a bolt of sweat drip down her forehead beneath her mask.

"I-I can't." she huffed tiredly. Casey patted her back comfortingly. Although he could not see, Sil offered him a sweet smile. Something about this boy comforting her felt oddly familiar.

Donnie channeled his mystic energy to his tech-bo adding a heavily loaded hammer on one end. "We make our stand here."

The three squared their shoulders as the goons finally made it to their roof. "You know what we want!" Big Mama's goons pointed their weapons at Donnie and the two.

"No! Hand her to us and the baron will let you live a worry-free life."

"How about this? Neither of you gets the damsel and all of you will walk away with your lives untraumatized by my sweet sweet science!" Donatello glared.

"An amazing threat but seeing as we are both men of science, you will hand over the Silver Knight to me," the baron appeared in a flash of red, stepping out from a hellish-looking portal he made.

"The baron has portal powers?" Donnie asked bewildered.

"Apparently..." Sil shuddered, feeling the intense energy rippling out of the baron. It seems that even Big Mama's hunters felt it and began to back away. The baron trailed his gaze towards the Spider's bounty hunters. "I see you recognize power. Not even Big Mama can impose such respect and fear."
