After Donnie uses the 'Reversed Nerve Technique' to unfreeze his brothers. Both Mikey and Raph collapse to the ground with a groan.

"Are you guys alright?" Donnie shakes them a bit until Mikey tries to pick himself up.

"Ugh, y-yeah I'm-" Mikey falls back to the ground.

"Mikey!" Donnie frantically checks his pulse but stops when Mikey lets out a snore.

"*snore* Pizza, pizza, pizza, *snore* Mmm, pizza with extra cheese..." Mikey mumbled in his sleep.

Donnie lets out a sigh of relief. "Phew. Jeez, do you always have to give me a mini heart attack?"

Donnie puts his brothers back in the cart behind some boxes for cover. After having some trouble moving Raph's huge shell onto it, of course. "Phew, there we go. Alright, now you two stay here while I go help April."

Meanwhile: Just across the room behind another stack of boxes.

April and Leo were at even ground. Dodging each other's attacks. But then, April begins to slow down a bit. Leo notices and then takes the chance to hit April in the face to make her hit the wall.

"Give up. It's impossible to defeat me." Leo mocked her as he drew his sword towards her neck.

"Pfft, I wouldn't say it's 'impossible'. I totally kicked your butt a few times before." April said, not taking the situation very seriously as she catches her breath.

"I was having an off day! You think it's easy being in charge of this whole place!" Leo complained.

"Kendra?" April asked in suspicion.

"That's right, and this time I'm gonna make sure that you can't get- OUCH!" Leo said until April kicked him in the shins and she took the opportunity to escape.

After April leaves the area, Donnie finally enters the scene. He sees Leo sitting on the ground with his shell facing him. Donnie decides to take this opportunity to get the computer chip out of him.

Donnie sneaks in closer towards him but before he could grab the chip, Leo turns around. Donnie jumps back in surprise and spins his bo staff to create distance between them.

"Wow, Donnie, a stick? Are you trying to let me win? How sweet." Leo says sarcastically as he gets up.

From behind the stack of boxes, near them. April stops to turn around when she hears Leo, say 'Donnie'.

"Ha, you wish. And it's called a bo staff you narrow minded, fool." Donnie raises his weapon, ready to fight.

As April saw from the corner of the shelf, for what she believed to be Kendra charging at Donnie. Something inside of her just snapped.

"Stick, bo, whatever you call it. It can't-" Leo said, but then without warning, he gets knocked down. By April bashing Leo's head with a huge box. That was almost as big as Raph.

"Take that Kendra! YOU DISGUSTING LOW LIFE PIECE OF-" April violently storms towards him but Donnie quickly holds her back.

"April! April! Relax you got him!" Donnie held April tightly in his arms in reassurance.

"What..." April realizes her mistake. "Oh, you mean that- that's still..." She stuttered in horror.

"Leo." Donnie stated simply.

"Oh... Oh no, no, no, no!" April saw Leo on the ground. "I'm sorry I just- I- I - j-just-"

"Don't worry about it, you just knocked him unconscious. Besides, it was mostly caused by you destroying the chip, see." Donnie shows her. Then he gets rid of what's left of it.

"So, he's fine then?" April asked hopefully.

"Absolutely... in a few hours of course. But right now we need to figure out how to get out of here." Donnie started looking through the smashed box.

"Uhh, Donnie is now really the time to be snacking?" April asked as she picked up Leo.

"I'm not, I'm just trying to find something that could help." Donnie kept on searching through the pile of snacks.

"Uh, alright then. So um, where do you want me to put Leo?" April asked.

"Put him with the others, over there." Donnie pointed as he kept on searching.

"Umm... Oh, there they are." April kept on walking until she found them. She moved the boxes out of the way. Then put Leo in the cart with the others.

"Aha! This should work!" Donnie exclaimed.

"What should?" April asked as she walked over to him.

"Cheesy snacks. Now, you wait with the others. While I'll go break us out." Donnie said as he put on his goggles and walked to the lock down door.

"Donnie, what exactly are you doing?" April asked as she just kept on following him. But stopped when Donnie said.

"Making a bomb." Donnie answered, as he mixed in a few chemicals from his bag.

"A bomb?" April asked in fear.

"Yep." Donnie said as he opened the bag of Cheesy Balls. "Now stay back, it's about to blow.

"But-" April tried to say.

"Now April!" Donnie ordered.

"Find but just be careful." April stepped back.

"Pfft, when am I not careful." Donnie said as he kept on working.

April just rolled her eyes. Then Donnie came up to her and handed her his bo staff.

"Here, April. You're better at aiming. So could you please hit this small jar into that bag of Cheesy Snacks." Donnie instructed.

"Alright then." April hit the jar full of chemicals with the bo staff just like a baseball bat in a game. The jar crashed into the bag of Cheesy Balls. "So, now what?"

"Quick, get behind the boxes!" Donnie pulls her in by the hand.

Then the bag started to bubble up. Until, it blows the door off its hinges.

"Whoa, what in the world were in those cheesy snacks?" April question with amazement as she saw what was left of the explosion.

"Stuff that shouldn't be in your body." Donnie stated as he put his goggles, back on his head.

"Anyways, you go take my brothers to safety while I go get my stuff back." Donnie started to walk away but was stopped in his tracks. By April, not willing to let go of his hand.

"Oh no, you're not leaving my sight this time!" April declared.

"But April, I want my stuff back." Donnie whined.

"Donnie, we are going straight to the lair, NOW!" April said sternly.

"B-but, April. I really miss my tech. They're like, my baby's!" Donnie pleaded with big, sad looking puppy dog eyes.

"(Eek, no fair. You're not supposed to look cute when I'm trying to be stern.)" April thought as she felt a bit flustered. She looked at his adorable face again. Then sighed in defeat.

"Ugh, fine but I'm coming with you. And you're going to be the one caring Raph, understand." April told him.

"Ugh, well... I guess that's fair." Donnie said with slight dread.

"Then it's settled." April proclaimed.

Donnie's face started to get warm after he noticed something. "So, um... are we going to be holding hands the whole way out or..." Donnie started with embarrassment.

"Huh? O-oh! Hehe, sorry." April blushes like crazy after she finally lets go of Donnie's hand.
