CONFUSED, aleiya ran up the stairs connected to the side of the building where she saw her savior disappear. when she made it to the roof of the tall building, he was nowhere to be seen.

but one thing was left behind,

a weapon of some sort..

aleiya picked up the weapon and it had three long points opposite of the red handle. it was quite heavy so aleiya guessed this was whoever saved hers weapon.

aleiya knew she had to find someway to get her saviors weapon back but she didn't know how, she had no clue where he disappeared to and she had no idea how to track.

maybe she could come to this location the next night and see him?

or maybe she should just keep it?

aleiya then got an idea. she put the weapon back down and pulled out a pen and paper from her small diary which she kept with her in the lab to write her thoughts down to pass the time. she ripped out a piece of paper and left a note,

once aleiya was finished writing her note she folded it up and left it underneath the heavy handle of the weapon and left the roof.

"shit, shit, shit!!" raphael cursed as he noticed he was missing one of his sais. he knew his older brother leo would be on his shell about it and he knew his sensei, splinter would probably send him to this hashi.

"FUCK" raphael cursed louder. he was pissed at himself as he now knew he had to go back out to retrieve it. well, he wasn't even supposed to go outside as it is.

"you good bro?" raphs little brother, michelangelo or better known as mikey questioned as he looked from his video games to his older brother.

"where's donnie?" raph answered mikey's question with another question.

"i dunno. probably in his lab" mikey shrugged as he pressed play and continued his video games.

raph walked to donnie's lab and walked in without knocking.

"how many times do i have to ask you to knock raph?" donatello, asked whilst not looking up from the current project he was working on.

"i need your help" raph said as he sat down next to donnie.

"like you do every day, what did you do now?" donnie still didn't look up from his project.

"before i tell you ya gotta promise you won't tell sensei mikey or leo" raph said, grabbing his younger brothers attention.

"this must be really bad hm?" donnie chucked earning an eye roll from his hot headed older brother.

"just promise me" raph said with annoyance in his voice.

"okay okay i promise. what happened?"

"alright. i snuck out and was jumping rooftops because leo pissed me off but then i saw this girl in an ally and these guys were tryna attack her or something so i stepped in and beat all of their asses and then left but as i was leaving i dropped one of my weapons and now i don't know where it is" raph admitted, earning an eye roll and aggravated groan from his brother.

"come on raph" donnie started. "how could you be so careless? sensei gave us those weapons as a gift to defend ourselves and you just carelessly lost it? and you know we aren't allowed to leave the lair in case any humans see us!"

"i know i know! just help me get it back" raph groaned.

"how am i supposed to do that raph? turn into batman and fly the city to search for your weapon?"

"i dunno! your a genius right? just find a way to get it back."

"i'll try my best but you have to be more careful raphael. and tell mikey to stop sneaking onto my computer at night to search up 'how to sneak a pony into the sewers without your sensei finding out" donnie said as he turned back to face his project.

"alright"

THE NEXT DAY, donnie called raph into his lab with good news.

"i found out where your sai is. i hacked the cameras on a nearby mall of america and found the roof where you carelessly dropped your sai on. i zoomed in on it and saw a girl pick it up, i thought she was going to take it but she put it back down and i'm guessing she wrote a note on it. i have the street name and apartment building right here so tonight go, get it and be careful" donnie explained as he handed raph a note with the needed information on it. raph nodded.

"thanks d"

AS THE SUNSET, aleiya was walking down the street and decided to see if the weapon was still there. she made her way back to the direction she was at the previous night and walked up the stairs leading to the roof.

and there it was

aleiya wondered if whoever it was would ever come back to retrieve it. it looked pretty cool and she knew major damage could be done with it.

aleiya was then snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a loud thud from behind her, she quickly turned around and saw what looked like a huge muscular... turtle? what?!

how was this possible? a six or seven foot turtle standing right in front of her. he made his way up to her and grabbed the sai from the ground.

"i'm guessing your the one who saved me last night?"

the turtle hesitated for a moment. "uh..yea. i did" the same deep brooklyn voice from the previous night was heard.

"what's your name?" aleiya questioned and the turtle hesitated once more.

"raphael"

"well raphael, thank you for saving me. i'm aleiya" aleiya held out her hand for raphael to shake and he did.

"don't tell nobody bout this. if you do, i'll find you" and with that, raphael turned and vanished once again into the night.
