Trust in the Shadows

Newtralized

Alyssa's POV:

Raph & Casey are patrolling the streets while the rest of us are playing pinball.

Mikey: "Aw, yeah! About to get the high score! Oh, yeah! We're gonna do this!"

Leo, Donnie, & I cheer Mikey on as Raph & Casey return from their patrol.

Raph: "Great use of your time. While somebody else is out there busting the Kraang's brains in."

Casey: "And that somebody wasn't us. We got other vigilantes out there going after those alien blobs."

Mikey: "Sounds good to me. Less work for us."

Raph: "It's not good. The Kraang stole plutonium. And whoever took 'em down stole it from them!"

Donnie: "Interesting."

Me: "Maybe Shredder's going after the Kraang again."

Raph: "I don't think these were Shredder's guys."

Mikey: "Ha! I know exactly who's behind this."

Raph: "You better not say squirrels with lasers again!"

Donnie: "So, what do we do, Leo? Hunt down whoever's hunting the Kraang?"

Leo: "I think we better blanket the area. Keep an eye out. Raph & Casey, stick to the alleyways. Donnie & Mikey, you take the rooftops. Alyssa & I will cover the sewers. We'll meet back at the lair at midnight."

During our sewer search, Leo & I come across an array of broken-down Kraang-droids.

Leo & I: "Wow!"

As we walk across the broken droids and climb through a tunnel, we come out the other end to find even more broken Kraang-droids.

Leo: "Whoever did this not only destroyed them, they obliterated them!"

I then see something among the rubble, walk closer to it, and pick it up to find a familiar spike, which can only mean one thing: Slash is back, and he may not be alone this time.

Leo & I: "Oh, no."

After regrouping with the others, Casey & Raph report that, as I predicted, Slash has been destroying the Kraang-droids with help from Newtralizer, and they both did a number on Raph & Casey.

Casey: *groans* "My head. Raph, ice me!"

Raph opens the freezer to reveal Ice Cream Kitty holding up an ice pack, which he accepts and tosses to Casey.

Raph: "You should've never got involved, Casey. Slash & Newtralizer are way too powerful!"

Casey: "Those 2 goons are nothing. They lucked out! Won't happen again."

Leo: "Let's focus, people! We got 2 crazy mutants running around blowing up the streets."

Raph: "I think we should shadow the Kraang until they show up."

Donnie: "Easy. Since Slash & the Newtralizer are using plutonium to power their teleportation, we can look for traces of residual radiation."

{Time skip}

We overlook an abandoned warehouse from a fire escape across the street.

Leo: "You think this is the place?"
