*3rd POV*

"It worked! But... Shredder's location unknown?" Stockman asked confused as he looked at his computer confused.

| With Shredder |

Shredder groans as he lands on the ground. He looked around. "Where am I?" Shredder asked before a figure came up behind him and picked him up. "Does it matter? I know what you're thinking right now. Of all the ways you'd like to kill me. But that would require you outthinking me. And no one, no thing is smarter than the Krang!" Krang said, slapping Shredder across the face with his tentacle.

Shredder wiped it away. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I get a little tentacle mucus in your eyes, Shredder?" Krang asked, before placing Shredder down. "So, you know my name. Why am I here?" Shredder asked angrily.

"Because you and your buddy Dr. Stockman found something of mine. The teleportation device." Krang said. "The teleport was supposed to break me out of prison." Shredder said. "Oh, heh. But it is capable of so much more. That device is part of a machine called the arc capacitor." Krang said, before he hit his robots head.

"Years ago, I launched the arc capacitor to Earth's dimension. But upon entering your atmosphere, it broke apart into three pieces. You and Stockman have one piece. Another is in a museum in New York. The third is in the Brazilian rainforest. Collect the other two pieces. Dr. Stockman should be inventive enough to reassemble the arch capacitor." Krang said. 

"And then what?" Shredder asked. "It will open a portal through which I can bring my war machine, the Technodrome, to Earth. Together, we can bring the people of your planet to their knees." Krang said.

"I'm interested. I will help you take down planet Earth if you help me with my problem. Four brothers will try to stop me, turtles, including my daughter and her friends." Shredder explained.

"I'm aware of your past. Take this. It will solve all your problems with those pests." Krang said handing him something. Shredder took it. "I'll see you on the other side." Krang said before teleporting Shredder away.

"Push me back in!" Krang demanded to the robot. But as the robot tried, it struggled. "Push me in, you stupid robot." Krang said before the robot was able to push Krang in a little, before the Krang shoved him in all the way. "You idiot!"

*My POV*

We were trying to figure out what truly happened with Shredder. "Okay, so he just vanished?" April asked confused. "Wait, wait, wait. If I run the video from my shoulder camera through an electrostatic filter, we might be able to see what happened to Shredder." Donnie said.

"Come on. Show us something, buddy." Leo said as we were all gathered around Donnie's computers. "Look! Right there!" KC said as she pointed to the screen. "It appears to be some kind of residue from a teleportation event." I said.

"Yeah, teleportation even residue, man. It's the worst." Mikey said, but we weren't paying attention as we looked at the monitors. "Does that kind of technology even exist?" Raph asked us, but mainly asked Donnie. 

"Baxter Stockman's been working on this kind of tech for years." Donnie said. "All of that stuff we pulled off of his iPad, it was full of information about Shredder and the Foot Clan. It was like a virtual playbook." I said as I recall it.

"Baxter has to have a backup. And I bet it's on the mainframe at TCRI." EC and KC said. "Donnie, we need something. What do you got?" I asked. "Wait." Donnie said as he grabbed something. "I know exactly what you need. Totally plug-and-play." Donnie said holding out a usb.

"Perfect." We said as I grabbed it. "We'll go check it out." KC said as we began to make our way out. "We'll go with you. Operate in support." Leo said, before we stopped and faced them. "Wait. The sun's coming up. You can't go outside. You'll be seen." April said.

KC and I went to Leo and Raph. "But--" They both said. "Hey, hey, we'll be fine. We'll send you our location." KC and I said softly. They nod slightly and we kissed them really quick, before leaving the lair with April and EC.

*3rd POV*

"The notorious criminal known as Shredder escaped police custody last night..." A male reporter said. "He was being transported from Lower Manhattan where he was serving a life sentence." A female reporter said as there was a lot of reports on Shredder escape.

Detectives were working on how they escaped. "Unbelievable. Widen the search radius to 200 miles on all bridges and ports. And I want hourly updates from Homeland Security and Border Patrol." Hamlett said. 

"Make it on the half hour." A new voice said. "Excuse me?" Hamlett asked confused. "This is my investigation now. Bureau Chief Vincent. Organized Crime." Chief Vincent said. "I have jurisdictional authority." Hamlett said.

"You forfeited jurisdiction. And you proved to be an authority on nothing when you lost three convicted felons in one night! Shredder's the most notorious criminal this city has ever seen. And we had him! Now he's out there. And where did you recover this highly secured vehicle?" Chief Vincent asked.

"Found it under the G.W. Bridge abandoned and stripped." Hamlett said honestly. "Any witnesses?" Chief Vincent asked. "Unfortunately." Hamlett said before he guided her over to Casey Jones.

"Everything's normal, I'm following procedure, and the next thing I know, ninjas on motorcycles just...They came zipping past! And they're coming at us from every possible direction." Casey said, before pausing.

"Keep going." Chief Vincent said, wanting the whole thing. "Okay. Uh...I look at my side view and I see what has to be a giant garbage truck that is just barreling towards us like it is on a warpath." Casey explained.

"And what was the objective of this battle-hungry sanitation vehicle?" Vincent asked with her hands on her hips. "I'm wondering the same thing myself. But then it starts launching manhole covers right from the grille of the truck." Casey said.

Vincent looked at Hamlett like he was insane. "Manhole covers!" Vincent said. "Yeah, manhole covers. As guided projectiles." Casey said. Vincent sighs before she began walking away. "You're taking some time off, Jones. I'm pulling you off the payroll." Hamlett said.

"Hey, I'm not crazy! I know what I saw! Look, I can help you catch these guys. I'm from New York. I know these streets better than anyone." Casey said as he walked after Vincent. "First rule of tracking fugitives: Don't take help from someone whos' responsible for losing them in the first place." Vincent said.

"We were ambushed!" Casey said. "Thanks for your statement, Jones." Vincent said before walking off. "That's Officer Jones! And I'm gonna be a detective someday." Casey said. Vincent faced him.

"I'm just waiting for the next round of applications at the academy." Casey said. "Good luck with that. As for now, do yourself a favor. Leave this manhunt to the professionals." Vincent said before walking away.

Casey sighs, before Casey climbed into his car and slammed the door. He pants heavily, like he was stabbed in the chest or something. He looked at the file in his passenger seat before grabbing it.

He flipped through it. "So you two idiots have a favorite bar. Yeah, they're not gonna be stupid enough to go back there. Yeah, they are." Casey said before he starts his engine and driving off to find Bebop and Rocksteady.

| At the bar |

Bebop and Rocksteady were having a drink. "Man, I really rattled that prison guard's noggin good. Did you see that head butt connect?" Rocksteady asked. "See it. I felt it, I heard it, echoing off the walls!" Bebop said before speaking gibberish. 

They laughed. "My man!" Rocksteady said. "My man!" Bebop said before they both took a shot. "Oh!" Rocksteady said. "Just like Mama used to make." Bebop said. "Oi, barkeep! Where are those sammies?" Rocksteady asked. 

"Here you go, guys. House special." The barkeeper said bring sandwiches over. "Mmm-hmm." Bebop said. "It's about time." Rocksteady said before the barkeeper placed cellphones down. "And a side of pickles." The barkeeper said.

"And are these pickles untraceable?" Bebop asked. "Those phones are harder to track than Shredder himself, homeboy." Barkeeper said. Bebop handed him a handful of cash. "Hey, do not make eye contact with us." Bebop said and the barkeeper nods.

"He think we somethin' to play with." Bebop said as Rocksteady sighed. "You know, Beebs, I'm tired of being someone else's errand boy. With Shredder out of the picture, maybe we could step up. Carve out our own piece of the city." Rocksteady said.

"Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe even start our own Foot Clan. Eventually work our way up to our own Leg Clan! I mean, honestly, how hard could it be?" Bebop asked before in the reflection of his knife, he saw Shredder, causing him to turn quickly.

Shredder had an unbothered look. Bebop clears his throat. "Hey! Mr. Shredder! My man. Coincidentally, we were just contemplating a consolidation of our criminal enterprises. We were thinking, like, a 51-49 split. Leaning your way, of course." Bebop said.

"He's not looking for partners." Karai said. "I'm looking for errand boys." Shredder said, before activating his blades in front of Rocksteady's face. "Well, we could work with that." Bebop said. 

| In the lair |

Rump Shaker by Wreckx-n-Effects was playing in the lair. "Oh, wassup, drone? I ain't scared of you. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Mikey said as he was flying around on his board, before he began yelping as the drone fought back.

"Every second we're down here. Shredder gets more powerful and Mikey gets more annoying, and I miss my girl more than anything." Raph said as he held his bat up. "Hey, I heard that!" Mikey said as the drone was chasing him.

"We're training. Sort of." Donnie said as he threw the ball to Raph, who hit it with the bat. "As soon as the sun goes down, it's turtle time." Donnie said. "Hi, drone. You talkin' to me? "Cause I don't see anybody else....Ah!" Mikey said as he kept messing with the drone.

"I failed, Master Splinter. You put me in charge and Shredder slipped through our fingers." Leo said as he held his katanas. "There's nothing you could have done to stop it. Do not let this setback distract you. Remember, as long as you keep the team unified, you shall always succeed." Splinter told his oldest son, before walking off. Leo nods and smiles at his father, before thinking.

| Back at the Bar |

"We're asking anyone with information about the fugitives' whereabouts, to please pass it along to authorities..." Vincent said on the news, before Casey faces the barkeeper. "I just want to ask you one more time. Are you sure those guys didn't come through here?" Casey asked.

"Hey, pal, I don't know what you're talking about." The barkeeper said as he took a drink before slamming his glass on the counter. "Okay. You know what? I love this song! You don't mind if I borrow this, do you?" Casey asked before breaking the glass with his elbow.

"Hey, whoa...what are you doing?" The barkeeper asked in disbelief. "Nah, you know what? Never mind. It has a scratch on it." Casey said before throwing it at all the bottles of alcohol. "Damn it!" The barkeeper said.

"Or maybe I'll have a drink." Casey said before throwing the glass at the bottles. "Are you out of your mind?" The barkeeper asked Casey. "Getting there." Casey said. "Damn it! Hey! Stop it! Just stop it, okay?" The barkeeper begged.

"You ready to tell me where they are?" Casey asked as he held a glass up, just in case he needs to throw it. "I slipped them cell phones. That's all I know!" The barkeeper said. "And I imagine a responsible businessperson such as yourself, wouldn't sell hardware without a means by which to track said hardware. Am I right?" Casey asked as he held up the glass more.

"Look! Here. I have a GPS, okay? You'll find them with that." The barkeeper said as he took a phone out of his pocket and put it on the counter in front of Casey. Casey calmly put the glass down and took the phone while the barkeeper took the glass. 

| At TCRI |

Stockman was typing on his keyboard. Hoping to find where Shredder went and was mumbling. "Where are you? Where did it spit you out?" Stockman asked as he wanted to know where his Sensei was. 

But soon enough, Shredder was behind him and activated his blade, and ran it across the table. "Sensei Shredder. The escape plan, it worked!" Stockman said relieved. "But not in the way you planned. I've traveled very far, and now...we have work to do." Shredder said as he was correct.

*My POV*

April, EC, KC and I walked into TCRI to see no one. "Odd." EC said before we kept walking over to the security desk only to see nothing. We kept walking to the stairs

*3rd POV*

"When I found this thing, I never could have imagined its significance." Stockman said as he activated the portal device piece to come up. "But this Commander Krang, he said that this will help open a portal to another dimension?" Stockman asked.

"And when we do, we'll join him in dominating this planet. We'll have ultimate power, Baxter." Shredder said. Rocksteady and Bebop perked up at this information. "An indescribably glory. To be responsible for opening the fabric between two worlds! It's..." Stockman said but was cut off.

"There are two other pieces required to open the portal. If those four brothers and my daughter are still out there, we need to create soldiers that can defeat them with a single blow. And this will help us do that." Shredder said holding up the object the Krang gave him earlier and gave it to Stockman. 

"It needs to be synthesized. Which is where you come in." Shredder said and Stockman began laughing happily and ran off. "Ooh. Here come the brains." Bebop said as Stockman opened something and placed the device inside before closing it.

"Yo, Rock, check this out." Bebop said getting Rocksteady's attention as the device began filling up the tubes that were once green, with purple. It began filling up in a canister and a dart. It dinged. "Beebs, I got to get myself one of these." Rocksteady said. 

*My POV*

We opened the blinds slightly to see what was going on as we heard voices. "What the..." EC whispered. "Think of what we could do with this!" Rocksteady said. "I feel like I'm back in science class." Bebop said before we saw Shredder.

"Now all we need are test subjects." Stockman said as he put the darts into a gun, and handed it over to Shredder. Rocksteady and Bebop gasp and laugh as they blew something up slightly. The others looked at them annoyed.

"Candidates that will easily fall under my command. Large in size. Low in intellect..." Shredder said before shooting the darts at Bebop and Rocksteady. They both hit their necks. Bebop laughs. 

"That stings! And not in a good way." Bebop said as we watch with disbelief at what we are seeing. Rocksteady fell to the ground as we could see their veins turn purple. EC and I looked at KC and covered her mouth to keep her quiet. 

We saw as Rocksteady and Bebop began transforming into animals. Shredder watched with an unbothered expression. "What's going on?" Bebop asked. Rocksteady got up and knocked something over.

Bebop laughs. "What is happening to us?" Bebop asked. "I don't know, but this feels great!" Rocksteady said before he started roaring as we squinted our eyes at the now flashing lights. "Oh, this is gonna be good!" Stockman said before pressing a button as they enter the lab with a laugh.

Rocksteady and Bebop were laughing and grunting as they kept transforming. Bebop took the dart out of his neck and laughed as he threw it. April and I looked down at the dart before we gasp and back away as something dented something. 

We grabbed it and moved it aside. EC and KC stayed where they were as April and I crawled inside. I grabbed the dart. "This feels funny. Feels like I have ants in my pants." Rocksteady said. "Bit ants!" Bebop said as Rocksteady was growing a tail.

*3rd POV*

Casey drove up and parked. He got out of his car and looked at the top of TCRI. "All right, Bebop and Rocksteady... I know you're up there somewhere." Casey said before seeing flashing lights. "I knew it!" Casey said.

*My POV*

"Omnus, scan subjects." Stockman said. "Searching." Omnus said. Stockman looked at the monitor to see what they turned into. "Miraculous. Inside very human there's a dormant gene which ties us to our animal ancestors. It's as if that purple ooze has returned them to their rightful place in the animal kingdom." Stockman explained.

"Whoa, Rock!" Bebop said as the two now animals laughed. "You're a rhinoceros." Bebop said. "And you're a... Heh, I don't know what you are." Rocksteady said as he pushed Bebop. "All right, let me look, let me look. I'm a... Huh. I'm a little piggy." Bebop said. 

"You're a warthog." Stockman added. "Hey, Beebs!" Rocksteady said. "Yeah, Rock?" Bebop asked. "Ever see a rhino charge?" Rocksteady said before he charged at Bebop and slammed him against the glass door. "Ugh! That hurts, heh." Bebop said.

"I like it!" Rocksteady said. "Me too!" Bebop said happily. "Me too." Stockman said fascinated. "Prepare the entire container. The more of them we create, the easier it will be to secure the portal." Shredder said.

I furrowed my eyebrows. What did the portal have to do with anything. Rocksteady and Bebop looked into their pants before laughing. "My man!" They both said. KC and I made disgusted faces. Even Leo and Raph aren't that bad. 

April and I hid behind a cart. "This is awesome! Check out the horn!" Rocksteady said. "Yeah, baby!" Bebop said. I looked over at the small canister. "My man, check out my tail. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle." Rocksteady said as I saw a button. 

I told April to meet me over at the doors with EC and KC and she nodded and went to tell them. I began running. "Hey, Rock, who's that?" Bebop asked as they just stared at me. "Isabella." Shredder said before he started trying to open the doors.

I grabbed the canister and slammed my hand on the button as I took off running. Shredder got the doors open. "Ugh! Get that canister!" Shredder demanded as the two Foot soldiers and Karai ran after me. 

I slid under the door in time and when I stood up the four of us saw Karai slam her hand on the door pissed with a grunt. I pant and smiled as I waved the canister at her teasingly before we took off running.

*3rd POV*

Casey opened his trunk and grabbed the hockey stick he had.

*My POV*

April, EC, KC and I shoved the door to TCRI open and continued running. We ran across the street, not caring about the cars.

*3rd POV*

Casey looked up at the sound of the horns and saw the four girls running.

*My POV*

We put our hands on a car stopping them before we took off running again.

*3rd POV*

Casey moved his bag, and there was mask and he grabbed it.

*My POV*

We turned and saw Foot soldiers after us, but we kept running not caring. We saw some in the park chasing us as well. But we ran across the street and into an alley, only to see the other two Foot soldiers.

We turned around to see the other two, I held the canister tightly. More of them dropped from the roof. "Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You guys don't really want to do this again, right? It doesn't usually work out well for you guys." KC said.

"Because we have the four friends. They're green, ninjas." EC and April said. "Give us the ooze." The first one said. "Oh, this? How about...no?" I asked as I held it closer. Before one of them was hit with a hockey puck.

More of them got hit with hockey pucks but I grunt as one of them grabbed me, but he was hit with a puck, which caused me to drop the ooze. "Shit!" I said as the ooze rolled away from us. We looked to see a man in a mask with a hockey stick.

EC went to grab the ooze, but the man kicked it away as he flipped one of the soldiers over him. The ooze rolled away. The man punched one of the Foot soldiers and slammed his hockey stick into him.

We watched as the man hit the soldier in the balls. We saw the ooze and EC went to grab it, but she was grabbed and slammed into a few bags of trash. She saw a pipe and grabbed it, and slammed it on the soldier that shoved her into the trash. 

The man landed in front of EC as she went to grab the ooze. "Hi." We heard him mumble, but EC didn't care as she reached over him and grabbed the ooze. One of the soldiers threw a ninja star and the man tried to hit it.

"Where'd it go?" The man asked facing us, and we saw it in his mask. We pointed to the side of his mask but we pointed to our face instead, showing where it was. A soldier kicked him causing him to fall into us, causing all of us to fall to the ground.

The ooze ran away, and the soldier grabbed it. The man used his hockey stick to throw it in the air, before he hit it towards the soldier, knocking him to the ground. The ooze rolled away just as police showed up. Yeah, we ain't getting that back.

The man faced us, but a soldier was in his view and the four of us took off running. "Stop! Freeze!" We heard police say, but we just kept running from the soldier. "Not today!" KC said as we kept running. We heard the man chasing after us. I saw one of the men pick of the ooze.

We pant but realized we ran into a dead end and turned to the soldier. I grabbed my katana and pulled it out of its holster. "See, that guy with the hockey stick in the other alley, we have nothing to do with that." April admitted.

I twirled my katana quickly as I was ready to fight this bitch. But the soldier was shoved into a dumpster, causing us to gasp and me to put my katana away really quick. "Whoa!" We heard the man said.

"Thank you. What's your name?" EC asked. "Casey Jones." He said but it was muffled. "What's that?" April asked. "Casey Jones." He said but it was muffled again. "Stacy Moans?" EC asked. "Oh, uh, heh... Casey Jones." Casey said as he took his mask off. He and EC stared at each other.
