Trust in the Shadows

The Pulverizer: Part 1

Alyssa's POV:

The four of us are out by the abandoned Subway tracks, waiting for Donnie's 'big surprise'.

Mikey: "Ugh, what's taking so long? Donnie knows I have a short attention-Ooh, gum!"

Raph slaps the wad of gum out of Mikey's hand.

Raph: "Man, this better be worth it."

Suddenly, a giant subway car rolls up to us.

Raph: "Worth it."

The doors open to reveal Donnie standing inside with a smug grin.

Donnie: "So?"

Me: "You turned Leatherhead's old subway car into this?"

Raph: "Donnie, have I ever told you how awesome you are?"

Donnie: "No, you haven't."

Raph: "Well, I am seriously considering it."

Leo: "What do you call this thing?"

Donnie: "Well, it's a transaxle, multi-armored, electromagnetic-"

Mikey: "The Shellraiser."

Donnie: "What?"

Mikey: "The Shellraiser. It's the perfect name."

Leo: "That is the perfect name."

Mikey: "Of course it is, bro. You guys always underestimate me."

Donnie leads us into the vehicle and turns it on.

Donnie: "Now, I've assigned everyone to a station based on your individual skill sets. I can't drive because my station's in the back, so-"

Turtles: "Driver!"

The guys rush to the driver's seat until Donnie blocks them with his bo staff.

Donnie: "Leo drives."

Turtles & I: "Why?"

Donnie: "He's least likely to hit something just for fun."

Turtles & I: "True."

So, we all walk off to our stations: Donnie on power & music, Mikey & I on navigation, and Raph on weapons.

Leo: "So, how do we get this baby going?"

A monitor turns on as Donnie takes his seat in the back.

Donnie: "Ok, just ease the throttle forward ever so-"

Leo follows his instructions, and we race off with a start.

Raph: "Whoo! What is powering this thing?"

Donnie: "The Kraang power cell we got from Leatherhead."

Me: "I thought you said that was dangerous like the Kraang could track it."

Donnie: "That's why I put it under a lead glass shield. Now I can regulate the output and prevent the Kraang from detecting its signal."

Mikey: "I hate to interrupt, but dead end!"

Leo: "Donnie, how do I stop this thing?"
