The Manhattan Project Part 2

Later That Night

Tiger Claw has tied up the the Turtles. "I can't believe you called him. If anything happens to Splinter...." Raph said to Leo. "What else could I do, Raph?" Leo asks him as Tiger Claw walks over to them. "The rat! Where is he?" Tiger Claw asks them but the turtles don't answer him. "One push and you all go into the furnace." Tiger said to them. "Just wait, Tiger Claw. Splinter's gonna kick that little stub of a tail so deep in your striped-" Raph said to him. "Silence!" Tiger Claw yells shutting up Raph. "I am tired of waiting. Your lives end now." Tiger Claw said to them then he very slowly begins pushing them towards the chimney opening. "This is it! I love you guys. Raph, it was me who ate your last piece of chocolate pepperoni pizza. I'm sorry, man! I was so hungry." Mikey said to Raph. "What an interesting pizza to eat." Jamey said to herself. "And Tas, I think you are very cool and nice to me, thank you for playing games and watching the cartoons I like. I love you so much!" Mikey yells. "Wait what!" Tasneem yells. "Release my students! Now!" Splinter yells from rooftop that was across from them.  "An ancient proverb says even a cornered rat will bite a cat. Is that so?" Tiger Claw said to him. "Hmm. Come find out." Splinter said to him. Tiger Claw then begins firing his inimitable weapon at Splinter, who dodges all of the attacks. Splinter then jumps down to where Tiger Claw is below, but the latter easily moves out of the way by using his jet-pack. While being shot at, Splinter weaves through the blasts and is then able to toss some pieces of brick right towards Tiger Claw. This actually does knock the latter off-balance for a second, but he then takes his large sword out of it's holster. "I prefer to slice you into bite-sized pieces." Tiger Claw said to him then Tiger Claw and Splinter charge at each other.

Meanwhile, Donnie, Cheyenne, April and Casey are being sent to the sewer. "You will continue marching from the place you are to the place you are not yet." Kraang said to them. "At least we're back in New York." Donnie said to them. "Didn't they mention feeding us something?" Cheyenne asks them. "I'm hungry." Casey said to them. "No, they said they'd feed us to something, something called a-" April said to them. "Kraathatrogon. Which is actually, I have no clue what it is." Donnie said to them. "Maybe type of pet of the Kraang." Cheyenne sad to them. "We can wait around to be eaten or we can make a move!" Casey yells then he electrodes one Kraang with his taser, April throws her fan while Donnie turns the vault making steam. "Let's go!" Cheyenne yells and the four start running. "This way!" April yells as she sees a door making the group run over to it. Cheyenne opens the door and the group runs though it, Casey was the last one to run though it so he locks the door behind him. 

Now the group was in a large and wide, yet short tunnel. "Wow! The old pneumatic subway! Built in the 1800s. Nobody uses 'em now." Donnie said to them when the group hears something. "What's gross slobbering sound?" Cheyenne asks them. "It sounds worse than Mikey eating pizza." Donnie said to her. 

At the very end of the tunnel, four gargantuan creatures, along with a bunch of Kraang come into their view. "Ooh, those must be the Kraathatrogons." Donnie said to them. "The kraathatr.... trogo.. The tro..... Space worms is easier to pronounce." Casey said to them. "Yeah, just to you." Cheyenne said to him suddenly one of the giant worm roars and slammed against the ground, causing the ground to shake. "It's the worms. That's what's causing the earthquakes." Donnie said to them. "Why? Why bring 'em here?" April asks them. "Looks like the Kraang are attaching tubes to the giant, imported worm and it looks like they are 'milking' it for Mutagen." Cheyenne said to them. "By Darwin's beard! This is where the mutagen comes from! Fascinating and-" Donnie said. "Disgusting." April said to them then she feels something. "Stop that." April said to Casey. "Stop what?" Casey asks her. "I'm serious, Casey. I said stop." April said to him. "What are you talking about I am not touching you." Casey said to her making April look down and she sees a small space worm nuzzling her. Alarmed, Casey whacked it with his hockey stick and the creature screeches. "Kraang, we have been discovered in the place that was meant to be undiscovered. Unleash the Kraathatrogon!" Kraang said and they free the worm. The space worm roars as it starts to come toward the four teens. "I don't think I have a big enough hockey stick for that thing." Casey said to them.
