Song: Release the Panic - Red

As soon as I'm sure that Lucy is secure, I march straight for Tiger Claw. My limbs flood with rage and a desire to end this battle one and for all. He is going to pay for starting this war and almost costing Lucy her life. Not to mention that he isn't to lay another paw on my brothers.

I leap on Tiger Claw's back and stab my sai into his shoulder, tugging him backwards. The tiger mutant hisses in agony and spins sharply, forcing me to remove my weapon from his flesh. Blood gushes out of his wound as he raises his paw and takes a swipe at me, catching me on the cheek.

I let out a gasp as the tiger mutant slits a layer of my skin open. I slap his claws away, panting to make up for my racing heart. Regaining my concentration, I retaliate by sticking his paw with my sai. In addition to my attack, Leonardo and Michelangelo start beating the tiger down with their own weapons.

Tiger Claw lets out roar and spun around, smacking the weapons out of the turtles' hands. The he goes for his laser gun stored in a holster on his belt.

"Oh, no you don't!" I shout as I snag it from him. I drop it and kick it, sending it flying right off the rooftop edge.

"No!" Tiger Claw curls his lips back threateningly as he rises to his feet. He towers over me, his good amber eye flashing with hatred. "You fool!"

"BOOYAKASHA!" Michelangelo bellows as he crashes into Tiger Claw. He hits the tiger with so much power that the mutant crashes right onto his back, groaning in pain.

"That's for hurting my bros!" Michelangelo snaps, pointing his finger accusatively at the mutant. He twirls his nunchucks around, preparing for any retaliations that the mutant might make.

Tiger Claw only grunts, before he passes out.

"Yeah, boy!" Michelangelo cheers as he begins his victory dance. "We knocked the tuna right out of Tiger Claw!"

Leonardo and I doesn't have time to rejoice with him. Suddenly, a flash of gray goes by and rams right into the young turtle. Michelangelo soars over the edge of the rooftop and heads straight for the ground below. A loud thud tells me when he reaches his destination.

"Mikey!" Leonardo and I yell in unison as we charge over to the edge. I strain my neck to peek down at the street, and I'm relieved to see that Michelangelo is in one piece.

"I'm fine, dudes! Just bruised my butt!" The orange-clad turtle calls up to us.

Unfortunately, he isn't as safe as we first thought. The sound of his crash attracts the attention of the zombant mob. All of the creatures started hobbling towards Michelangelo, moaning and groaning obnoxiously.

Michelangelo lets out a girly scream and holds his nunchucks in front of himself. "Stay away, zombants! I named you! You should at least show me some respect!"

As Michelangelo tries to negotiate for his life, I glance around to check the rest of my team. Somehow, they managed to knock out the rest of our enemies. They dust their hands off and approach us, looking quite satisfied. That is, until they see Michelangelo.

"I'll go help him," Donatello volunteers as he takes off down the staircase on the side of the building. April darts after him, her tessen at the ready.

"Come on, they can't take them all on by themselves," Leonardo says as he turns and bolts down the stairs as well.

"Wait up!" Casey yells as he races after the blue-clad turtle.

I haven't forgotten about Lucy. I turn around to find her already walking up to me. She holds my sai out to me, looking disturbed that she has to be so near to it.
