TMNT: Secrets of the Sewers

Revenge of the Triceratons

It was a beautiful afternoon in the city, everyone going about their business peacefully. Since it was a Saturday, April and Casey were taking a break from schoolwork to just enjoy the day. Now, they were sitting in an ice cream parlor with a large milkshake to share.

"Gotta say, this is nice." April commented.

"Yeah." Casey agreed. "Can't remember the last time the two of us were able to be alone together."

"I'm pretty sure it was before we met the turtles." April joked.

"Yeah." Casey agreed, chuckling. "Hard to believe all that's happened since we met those guys."

"Uh-huh." April nodded. "But now that Shredder's gone, life's settled down a lot. Honestly, I'm a little bored."

"Me too." Casey admitted. "Though knowing us, it won't be too long before trouble shows up again."

"Too true." April replied.

At that moment, a shadow began to pass over the street outside. People began to pause what they were doing, their eyes drifting upward. A woman carrying groceries ended up dropping them in shock while almost everyone pulled out their phones, aiming them at the sky. Casey and April saw this, exchanging glances before stepping outside. As they also found their gazes falling on the sky, their jaws dropped in unison.

"Careful what you wish for." Casey said quietly.

April nodded as she pulled out her phone, hitting the speed dial for the Hamato Clan.

...

Down in their sewer lair, the Hamato siblings were in the middle of their afternoon drills. They moved in almost flawless synchrony, Splinter watching them with a careful eye as they performed their katas.

"Excellent form, my children." Splinter commended. "The ability to work in perfect harmony is key for any group of ninja. This is especially true for you five. While you all have your own unique abilities and contributions to the group, they are meaningless without proper guidance and control."

The siblings all stopped, bowing to their father.

"Hai, sensei." they replied in unison.

At that moment, the sound of a phone ringing filled the air. Splinter's eyes narrowed at the sound.

"I thought I made it clear that there would be no cell phones allowed during training." he admonished.

"Don't look at me, Sensei." Raph insisted, holding up his hands. "I bet it was Mikey."

"Not me dude." Mikey defended. "Probably Donny's."

"Do you honestly think that I would bring my shell cell to training?" Donny questioned.

"Yes." His siblings replied all at once.

He turned slightly red, then fished into his pocket. He pulled out his phone, revealing it to be the one ringing.

"Donny..." Leo let out, shaking his head. "We talked about this."

"I bet it's Irma." Hisako jeered, ribbing her brother playfully.

"Just be careful she doesn't turn out to be our sister." Mikey taunted.

Leo groaned.

"You are never going to let me live that down, are you?" he questioned.

Splinter then slammed his walking stick hard on the ground, drawing their attention.

"Donatello, perhaps you should answer the call, since you felt the need to bring your phone to practice despite my warnings." he insisted.
