Episode 19: Baxter's Gambit

*This means a line is dramatic, emphasized, or in the background*

In the dead of night, we see the turtles staking out on a rooftop again. The Kraang were attempting to steal something important, and they planned to ambush them before they could get away. Donnie was watching through a telescope as one Kraang droid came out carrying some sort of gun-looking device. "Whoa! That's a sub-spatial endo-particle disrupter!"

"You're gonna have to explain if that's 'oh no' or 'yay'." Leo followed.

"In the hands of the Kraang, it's a definite 'oh no'."

"Why?" Mikey asked. "What does it do?"

"The disrupter can desynchronize subatomic residences, which invert polymolecular structures, causing them to implode."

Mikey quirks an eyebrow. Was that supposed to answer his question? "It makes things go boom." Raph clarified.

"Technically, it makes things go 'zhwee shooo pop'!" Everyone blinked. "It's important to be accurate."

Meanwhile, on another rooftop nearby, Dogpound, Fishface, and Baxter Stockman were also spying on the Kraang, hoping to steal the disrupter for themselves. But surely you remember that Shredder's top henchmen care very little for the dweeby scientist.

"With that endo-particle disrupter in our arsenal, we'll be unstoppable!" Stockman monologued. "Alright, men, we move on my signal."

Dogpound growled and grabbed Stockman forcefully with his huge paw. "Your signal?!" "Please don't hurt me." He begged pathetically.

"You do what we say, and then you thank us for letting you live." Dogpound threatened. "Got it, Stinkman?!" He throws the small man aside with a growl.

"Stockman." He corrects. "It's Stockman." And then Fishface kicks him with his robo-leg. "What was that?!" "Nothing! Ahem... thank you for letting me live." "Screw this up; I'll finish you myself. Remember that!" Fishface walked away, not noticing the daggers Stockman was glaring at them both. "Just you wait, freaks."

"Okay, guys." Leo started. "Get in position. Ready, set..."

"Let's just do this!" Raph shouted. The turtles flipped down the roof right when the bad guys did, and they all landed at the same time. "Kraang, Fishface, and Dogpound? I must be dreaming; pinch me!" Sam smirked as she pinched Raph on the cheek. "Ow!" He smacked her hand away. "Hey, don't say it if you don't mean it!"

With a loud battle cry from the Foot, the battle started. The Kraang were firing their blasters, and there were clashing weapons everywhere as everybody tried to get their hands on the disrupter. Raph was going against Fishface, and both fought with all their rage. All the while, Stockman was still on the roof, watching them. He tried to use the stairs, but the door was jammed.

One Kraang had the disrupter and aimed it at Mikey. Just as it fired, Donnie tackled his younger brother out of the way, and the blast hit a car, which really did go "zhwee shooo pop." Gone!

"Whoa. Donnie, you totally called it, bro." Mikey commented.

Unfortunately, the Kraang droids drove away with the disrupter in hand. "Guys, we gotta move!" Leo ordered. He saw that Raph and Fishface were still going at it, seemingly not having heard him. "Raph, now!"

"Yes. Run along now, boy." Fishface taunted as the Foot retreated. "This isn't over, Fishface!" Everyone left the scene as police sirens in the distance came closer. However, nobody remembered that Stockman was still on the roof. "Hello? Anyone?! Um, I'm kind of stuck up here! Hello?!"

XXXXXXXX

The next day, the turtles were in the dojo with Splinter, who was teaching them to "expect the unexpected." They all sat on the floor while Splinter paced behind them. He planned to tap them with a wooden training sword, and they had to evade. However, it was hard to dodge something if you didn't know when it was coming.
