Turtles Forever

New Blood

A press conference was gathered around at the Shredder's headquarters. "Mr. Mayor, members of the press, in recent weeks, I have been called the savior of the city. In all modesty, I am merely a man fortunate enough to possess the means to jump start the rebuilding of this great city. My salvage and construction will lead the way in restoring New York to a shining place." said Oroku Saki.

They all clapped for him until a reporter stepped up with a microphone in his hand.

"Mr. Saki, do you have any comment on the allegations of your ties to an ancient criminal organization?" asked the man. Saki narrowed his eyes at him then looked at Karai, signaling her, who nodded.

"And your alleged connections to street gangs like the Purple Dragons?" The reporter continued. The crowd gasped.

"Um, I'm sorry, but Mr. Saki is not taking any questions at this time." The mayor dismisses the reporter's question. He and Saki started to leave.

"Mr. Saki, is it true that renegade scientist Baxter Stockman is still on your payroll?" The reporter asked. Karai quickly kneed him in the stomach and he fell to the floor. Some people rush over to him, asking the reporter if he was okay, wondering what happened. Karai pushes them back while holding the reporter.

"Could you please move back?" asked Karai. She presses a pressure point on the man's neck, unnoticed, making the man fall unconscious. "It appears this reporter has been overwhelmed by the excitement of this event."

On the rooftops, the four brothers, Yuuki, Alopex, and Venus were jumping across from roof to roof as they ran. Mona stayed back at the Lair with Splinter. She stomach had grew, which had a noticeable bump now, which made it difficult for her to walk. The sensei was giving Venus a break for some time away from the Lair and for some fresh air, who reluctantly agreed to go. Raph was getting anxious about the baby's arrival as well, not really wanting to leave Mona's side. Splinter came to an agreement with the two of them that if anything should happen he will call them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the name of the game is Ninja Stealth and Heightened Senses." Leo announced.

"Or as we like to call it." Raph started.

"Hide and seek!" shouted Mikey. Donnie looks around to see that his brother's, Yuuki, Venus, and Alopex were gone.

"So, I guess this means I'm it." He said. Donnie ran across the rooftops using his staff to propel across the gaps. He lands on an air conditioner and taps Mikey with his staff. Mikey whines. Donnie jumps across a building and onto a ledge. He looks over the corner and taps Raph with his staff.

"No way, cheater!" Raph exclaimed.

Donnie landed near a rooftop with a fire escape. He tapped Yuuki and Alopex with his staff.

"Donnie! You cheater!" Yuuki shouted.

"No fair!" Alopex whined. Next, Donnie landed on a rooftop He tapped Venus with his staff. She squealed in shock until she saw Donnie.

"Donnie, you have better hope that I don't get my hands on you! You big fat cheater!" Venus shouted. Donnie jumps away from her as Venus tried to lunge at him to tap him with her finger. Donnie laughs as he lands at a water tower. He stops under it and looks up and taps Leo on his shell. Leo looks behind him, confused then sees Donnie.

"Aw, come on." Leo complained. He jumps down, landing next to Donnie. "You're missing the point of this exercise, Donnie."

"What?" questioned Donnie, who was smiling mischievously. He was wearing night-vision goggles. "My sense are heightened...with night-vision goggles."

Raph and Mikey jump down behind Donnie.

"What do we say we heighten your senses of pain?" asked Raph, punching his hand. Donnie cringed as he backed away from the three. He looks over at Venus for some help. She smiles. "Oh no, don't be looking at me." She said. He looks over at Alopex and Yuuki, who shrugged her hands.
