" ...Master...Yoshi...? " Leo was shocked too stunned to move.

Yoshi took a step back. " ...How do you know me...? " he asked.

Leo stuttered, suddenly too stunned to speak. " ...I...my names Leonardo...my father, my Sensei, is Hamato Splinter...he raised and trained me and my three brothers... " he explained.

Yoshi smiled. " Splinter...alive...and he's got a family now! " he looked over at Leo.

" Follow me, theres much to discuss! " He told him quickly before darting down a tunnel leading further and further into the cave.

Leo glanced at Nazo, who had come out of his hypnotized state. He quickly followed after Yoshi.



Meanwhile, Splinter and The Ancient One were searching for Leo and Nazo. The Ancient One was holding Leo's katanas as he sat behind Splinter on Waizu's back.

" Leonardo is too determined sometimes...too stubborn " Splinter ranted to The Ancient One. " And if he finds Khan before we stop him... " he frowned at the thought.

" Splinter, I doubt anybody will dare challenge Leonardo as long as Nazo is around. When I think of how stubborn and determined Yoshi was... " The Ancient One glanced at the aging rat, sighing. " Well, actually, thats where you three are similar, stubbornly determined to the end... "

Splinter rolled his eyes before looking down at the water. He suddenly noticed something floating up and signalled Waizu to fly down. The older dragon snatched the object from the water and Splinter took it from his mouth. He frowned when he recognized the object as Leo's katana holders. He glanced back at The Ancient One, frowning. The Ancient One frowned back, shrugging.

Splinter shook his head, leaning down to let Waizu sniff the holder. " Find him Waizu, find my son... "

Waizu roared and started flying faster.




Leo was struggling to keep up with Yoshi, following him through a narrow passage that Nazo barely fit in to.

" Wait! Hold on! You, you can't just reveal a big secret like that and then bolt! Your Master Yoshi! Your my Sensei's Sensei! Like a great Master to me! " Leo called.

" This way! Quickly! " Yoshi replied as he climbed over a fallen piece of stone mixed with ice. Leo tried to climb over, but ended up sliding down. Nazo nudged him up, easily jumping up himself.

" Master Yoshi! I have Questions! Where have you been all these years! How did you survive the Shredder! Master Splinter told me you were almost killed by him and then left to be eaten by... " Leo froze when he and Nazo emerged from the tunnel and into an underground sanctuary.

" ...Holy Shell... "

Dragons upon dragons upon even more dragons circled a tall upright piece of rock and ice. Some dragons perched on ledges or huddled up in smaller caves along the walls.

Nazo glanced around, tail wagging behind him while Leo still stared in awe, until a soft roar made him look up and stumble back.

The big dragon was hanging upside down, Yoshi perched on its shoulder.

Nazo growled, but the big dragon only widened it's eyes, fan like pieces of skin around its face stretching as it watched the turtle and new dragon curiously. 

" So, you've been here, all this time? " Leo asked.

Yoshi nodded. 

" Living with all this dragons? "
