Metalhead observes the five looking at him.

"Ah...I give you the new and improved Metalhead!" Donnie exclaims.

"Whoa." Mikey says.

"I've been upgrading his artificial intelligence, so he'll be the perfect training tool!" Donnie explains.

"You sure?" Leo unsheathes his katana, "Training with Metalhead usually ends in him breaking something."

Raph chuckles as he takes out his sais, Mikey making noises as he spins his nunchucks.

"I've programmed him to simulate dozens of fighting styles, including the Foot and the Kraang." Donnie brags.

"Pssh, can't simulate my fighting style." Mikey comments.

"Is it safe enough for Kaida?" Leo asks.

"Don't worry. I took her healing injury into account. If Metalhead sets his sights on her, he won't aim for the area."

"Let's just go already." Raph smirks as he charges in, getting punched back by Metalhead. Leo attacks from above, but Metalhead grabs his katana and kicks him away, throwing his katana above his head. He then gives the blue-masked turtle a thumbs down, Leo growling. Donnie attacks, but gets swung away by his bo staff before getting fired at by lasers. Mikey charges in, deflecting the eye explosions back before getting flown around the room by Metalhead's rocketing fist.

"Get it off!" Mikey screams as he continues flying around.

Kaida brandishes her shikomizue and attacks before getting pinned down, her arm nearly getting dislocated, "Ow!"

"Yame!" Splinter commands as his sons kneel before him, Metalhead standing as Kaida groans, slowly sitting up.

"Can I get off the ride now?!" Mikey shouts as he is still flying around.

"Donatello!" Splinter narrows his eyes.

"Metalhead, stop training program." Donnie commands, rubbing his neck as Mikey crashes to the ground.

"You okay, Michelangelo?" Kaida groans in discomfort as she holds her arm.

"Oh! I think he put my chin on my nose."

"I'm sorry, Sensei, but overall, I'd say that was a pretty successful test." Donnie smiles.

"Successful?!" Leo glares, "Metalhead almost ripped Mikey's face off and nearly dislocated Kaida's arm!"

"Please!" Donnie turns away, crossing his arms, "I had it all under control."

"And when you don't?"

"Donatello has created a powerful tool. It is to our advantage to study an enemy's techniques, but you must use that tool wisely." Splinter advises, kneeling down as he checks Kaida's arm, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm sure, Master Splinter-" Kaida jumps a little as Metalhead begins to bleep.

"What's wrong with him now?" Leo asks.

"Something tripped the security wires." Donnie explains, "It's approaching the lair fast!"

The others gasp.

...

They head to the sewers, moving stealthily.

"Do you think it's Footbots again?" Leo whispers.

"It's possible..." Kaida keeps a lookout.

Raph looks down the tunnel and hears the sound of the Kraang's blasters, including a familiar voice as a silhouette appears, "Was that...? Nah, couldn't be."
