When Leo dropped from the window to the patio Lou was already a few meters ahead, he was fast, barely a speck in the night and, if it weren't for his trained eyes, Leo would barely be able to see him.

He followed him, a terrified scream coming from the human also served as a guide, the guy was lying on the ground with the gun pointed at the darkness and desperately pulling the trigger despite the click that indicated that there were no bullets in the chamber.

Lou ran past the frightened man without even giving him a glance, running on automatic. Leonardo stopped next to the guy, trying to be covered by the shadows of the building, and motioned for him to leave as quickly as possible. The guy nodded, grateful to have someone to tell him what to do, but just as he was standing up, a golden glow caught both of their attention, forcing them to look forward.

In the middle of the field, standing against the approaching army of robots aiming their laser weapons Lou was spinning golden chains in his hands. A swirl of fire formed around the lone figure of the mutant turtle, illuminating the scene with a golden glow. Both Leo and the terrified guard watched the image open-mouthed; From a distance Leonardo could see the magnitude of the enemies, it seemed that all the krang robots available in the city, if not the country, were deployed at the university. Why? The young man in blue could only speculate.

—You're a fucking alien! — the human stared at him with wide eyes full of terror and pointing at him with a trembling finger; Leo rolled his eyes, accustomed to being mistaken for some kind of imaginary aberration.

— Yes, but one of the good guys, they are one of the bad ones — he points his katana at the army of clones that were beginning to surround the older mutant — so you better get out of here — the man did not wait for another confirmation and, with a muffled scream, He stood up and ran clumsily out of sight.

He heard the usual crackling sound of the krang robots being destroyed and returned his attention to the battle before him.

The older mutant launched bursts of attacks at the invaders, quickly ending the enemy's advance although the number of krang robots was overwhelming. Leo wondered, as he approached the epicenter of the fight as quickly as possible, why the aliens would send so many contingents just for a robbery at a university; What did all those robberies really mean and what did the krang have to do with it? Perhaps the matter was deeper than he initially thought.

When the army of alien robots came into view, Leonardo could tell that Lou's fight was more savage than he first thought. The older mutant looked furious as he whipped his chains, setting everything around him on fire and quickly destroying the army. of robots, the krang, terrified, tried to escape from their mechanical bodies but were quickly devastated by the fire that invaded the entire scene, leaving only blackish marks on the charred grass.

The scene was terrifying, wild and cruel, Leonardo could not find a way to approach the older man due to the fury with which he moved his burning chains, creating a kind of dome of fire around him that destroyed everything inside. The aliens had no escape from the horror.

The blue-clad mutant did not understand what had caused the murderous rage that erupted in waves from the older man, much less how he could stop the massacre that was before him. Okay, the krang was an enemy but it still wasn't right to finish them off the way the strange visitor was doing.

He looked for something with his eyes that he could use to get the older man's attention, something to contain him. Even at the distance he was, he could feel the heat emanating from the chain with which the major was destroying his enemies; he could not get any closer than where he was.
