TMNT: Secrets of the Sewers

New Home

The Shellraiser made its way across the bridge leading into Manhattan, everyone keeping their eyes peeled for even a hint of the Foot looking for them. Thankfully, there didn't seem to be so much as a single motorhead out in the city.

"Ya know, with how mad that Shredder guy was when we left, I was expecting a few more guards watching the border." Raph commented.

"You're right, Raph." Donny agreed. "So where is everybody?"

"Maybe he thinks there's nothing to look for." Leo suggested.

Casey looked over his shoulder from the driver's seat.

"You might be onto something Leo." He called. "Think about it, two of you are supposed to be dead."

"And the rest of us fled rather quickly." April added.

Splinter stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"If this is true, then we may have an advantage." he noted. "But first, we must find a place to lay low, as well as a new home."

"Hai Sensei." Leo agreed. "Casey, know a place where we can stash the Shellraiser?"

"You can keep it at my place." Casey offered.

"You sure?" Raph asked. "The thing might turn your apartment into a target."

"It's cool guys." Casey insisted. "I can easily cover it with a tarp or something. Besides, April's gonna be staying with me anyhow. She lost her apartment, but I didn't."

"We can keep an eye on the Shellraiser until you guys get settled back in." April agreed.

"Thanks guys." Leo replied.

Hisako leaned against the back of the Shellraiser, her mind branching out to see if anyone was around. So far she'd found no one, but she wasn't going to take any chances. Now this time.

...

Unbeknownst to the turtles, or to the psychic scanning the area, a sole figure was perched atop a water tower. It was the guardian that fought with Leonardo not too long ago. He seemed distant, his eyes cloudy behind his darkened glasses. However, when he heard the sound of the Shellraiser's engine purring, he perked up.

"Could it be?" he gasped.

He stood up, looking down at the street to see the Shellraiser making its way down the street. His eyes lit up as he jumped from the tower, running along to roof to follow it.

"I must know if she- if they all survived." He muttered to himself.

He came to a stop as the Shellraiser parked in an alleyway by a set of old tenement buildings. From the vehicle, he watched as the turtles piled out one by one, followed by their human friends and their rat master. For a moment, his heart sank, until the red-headed ally called out.

"Hisako, you coming?"

That's when Hisako emerged from the vehicle, giving a large stretch.

"Sorry guys, must have gotten distracted." she apologized.

The guardian stared, feeling as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulder.

"They're alive.... They're all alive."

He pushed the sleeve on his right wrist up, activating a futuristic looking watch on his wrist. A holographic projection activated, showing three identical women. They all had short hair that was light blue, wire rimmed glasses, and blue eyes that almost seemed to glow. When they spoke, they seemed to speak in turn, finishing the other's sentence.
