*My POV*

We got back to the lair and KC, and I were panicking. "It is all over the police scanner, they are hunting you. What happened up there?" Splinter asked us confused as we got into the lair. "Tell him, Raph. Tell him how you broke rank and got us all exposed. For the most selfish reason." Leo said as he snatched the ooze from Raph.

"The Foot were gonna get their hands on it!" Raph said as he followed Leo. "You didn't know that!" Leo shouted. "Stealing from police headquarters...there's no scenario where you wouldn't get caught." Donnie said. 

KC and I sat down as we just listened. "Maybe if you hadn't lied to your own flesh and blood..." Raph said but that's when I cut in and stood in front of Raph. "Oh, wait. The way you lied to April and EC? And now they're taking the fall for your mess." I hissed at him. 

KC separated us and glared at me, causing me to glare back. Raph sighed. "You should've seen the looks on their faces. They weren't just scared. There was...actual hate." Mikey said as he sat down. Raph, KC and Donnie walked off. 

Leo and I watched him with soft expressions. Leo shook his head and walked away. "It will be all right, my son. People fear what they do not understand." Splinter said. "Leo!" I chased after him to talk. 

Splinter followed after me. "You can't walk away from this." I told him as Splinter nods. "I told him, Master Splinter. But Raph, he never hears a word I have to say. Now, I knew they couldn't handle the truth about the purple ooze, and you know what, they proved me right." Leo said as he held the ooze up.

I glared at Leo. "Leonardo." Splinter said. "I don't know what to do! Donnie's nose is in his computer, Raph's brains are in his biceps, and Mikey's heads in the clouds! I can't get them all on the same page. To think with one mind." Leo said and that's when I snapped.

"You shouldn't want them to all think the same! It's their different point of view that make the team strong! A good leader understands this. A good brother accepts it!" I said pointing my finger at his chest.

"Guys? I got something!" Donnie suddenly said. We all ran over to him. "Talk to me, Donnie." Leo said. "The computer's pinpointed the isotopic signature of the purple ooze. I can track Bebop and Rocksteady's exact coordinates." Donnie said as he began typing on his computer.

"You got 'em. They're at 36,000 feet, traveling at 490 knots." I said as I looked at the screen. "Whoa. They've achieved the power of flight! Good for them, you know." Mikey said. We faced him slightly annoyed.

"They're on a plane, Mikey." KC said. "Oh." Mikey said as he realized that. "It looks like our mutant buddies are headed to Brazil." Donnie and I said as we got their exact location in Brazil. "How do we get there?" Leo asked. "We sneak onto the next cargo plane from JFK." I said.

*3rd POV*

April, Casey and EC were sitting in a holding room. "They're not monsters, okay?" April said. "The only real monster in this city is Shredder and the two mutants that he's created." EC said. "Bebop and Rocksteady." Casey said as he put his hand on EC's thigh.

"If you think anything coming out of your mouth is gonna add to their credibility you are sorely mistaken." Vincent said. "Shredder mutated them with the help of Baxter Stockman." April said. "That's actually who you need to go see." EC said pointing a finger at Vincent. 

"Funny you should mention Dr. Stockman because we just finished analyzing some security footage from TCRI that he gave us." Vincent said. "Great." EC said. "Guess who's on it." Vincent said before playing the footage. 

The three of them faced the TV to see the footage. Only for it to show Izzy just grabbing the ooze and running out. "That's not what happened." April said. "That footage has been altered. It's been edited." EC said facing Vincent with April.

"We checked its authenticity. It's clean. And where's your friend in the footage?" Vincent asked. "I want a phone call." April said not answering. Vincent laughs as she smiles. "I hate to break it to you, but all the phones have been shut down on account of monsters and that winged figure of yours breaking into our stationhouse." Vincent said.

"Well, I hate to break it to you, but legally she's entitled to a phone call." EC challenged. "Tell me where they are." Vincent said seriously. "We don't know. But if we did, we wouldn't tell you." April and EC said as they gave Vincent a serious look. "Chief, the turtles and Izzy are not the ones you should be chasing." Casey said softly.

| In Brazil |

Bebop and Rocksteady were in Brazil fetching the last piece. Bebop and Rocksteady were listening to music and singing to it. They soon found the third piece. "Ha-ha! We found it!" Bebop said before Rocksteady sent a missile at it. 

They fist bumped as they walked through the smoke. They dug it out of a few things. Bebop picked it up. "Lookee here. I like it." Bebop said before both of them began laughing happily. They contacted Shredder.

| With Shredder |

"Boss, boss, we did it! We did it! We got that super-important thingy-kind-of-hard-thing-to-find thing." Bebop said. "Move, move. Move your head over. He's got to see me. Hey, boss!" Bebop said not knowing Shredder began walking off.

"They have the final piece and are heading back." Shredder said. "Countdown to the big show is officially on. And we are ready for action! All systems are uh,....standing by." Stockman said as Shredder gave him an annoyed look.

Shredder looked away. "Can you taste it, Sensei Shredder? The magnificence of what we're about to do?" Stockman asked chuckling as Shredder looked at him. "Yummy, isn't it?" Stockman said before giggling excitedly.

*My POV*

We were sitting in a plane, more specifically where the bags were. All of us were hot as crap. Mikey groans. "Aren't there supposed to be, like, pretty stewardesses handing out warm hand towels and stuff?" Mikey asked.

"Not down here, Mikey. Not for us." Raph said as Leo wiped his forehead too hot and I lay on the ground wanting the cold floor. KC had to stay back at the lair just in case it got too dangerous. "Oh, boy. Bebop and Rocksteady are en route back to New York." Donnie said. I got up quickly.

"What?" Leo and I asked confused. Raph stood up. "They must have already retrieved the last piece to open the portal." Donnie explained. "Looks like our plane's about to cross over theirs, right?" Leo asked. 

"Yeah, with a 3,000-foot separation. Uh, Donnie could plot a course for intercept, but we'd have to jump." I explained the scientific facts as I pointed to it. "Jump?" Raph asked confused, and not liking this idea.
