~In the living room in Middy's Perspective~

I was sitting on the couch feeling bored watching a boring show. I looked on my right side to see that Aika was listening to music on her T-Phone. I just wished that Mikey didn't interrupt me and Aika earlier because we were so close to our first kiss! "Ugh..." I sighed out.

"You bored son?" my mom said as she served us chips and juice pouches.

"Yeah. I've been bored ever since we went to see the Sakura Forest."

"Well, there's gotta be something you can do." Mom smiled as she went into the nursery room.

"I guess. Aika." I called her. But she wasn't listening, her headphones were in her ears. "Aika." I called her again as I poked her back.

"Eh?" she responded as she took off her headphones. "Yeah?"

"Got any ideas about what we can do tonight?" I asked. "I mean, there is no Shredder or any Foot troops around the city."

"Umm, I don't know."

"Come on, you know I won't let anybody hurt you." I winked at her.

"Well... okay." she said.

"Can we come too?" Mom said as she and Dad put my siblings in their little playpen.

(Bart and Dreamer playing in their pen)

"Sure mom and dad." I smiled. "See that? Mom, Dad, and I will protect you. And there's a full moon tonight just in case you need to heal in your mermaid form like my mom.

"Okay." she smiled.

Just then, my grandfather John walks in. "Hello everyone. Are you going on patrol?"

"Yes papa bear." Mom said.

"I will care for my grandchildren while you are all up there." he said as he picked up Bart.

"Thank you. We won't be long." she said as she and my dad were getting ready.

"There. Prepped up like a ninja." I said to Aika as I buckled her fanny pack around her waist.

"Thank you." she giggled.

Grandpa chuckled. "Take good care of Aika everyone."

"We will grandpa." I bowed to him. "We're ready Dad."

"Okay son. Let's move out team!" he said as he lead us to the surface world.

~A while later in Aika's Perspective~

"Whoo hoo! Yeah! Awesome!" we all cheered as we did jumps and flips across the rooftops.

I laughed as I did flips with Middy and then we all stopped to have a look around the city. So far, there was nothing in sight. Then I heard Aqua gasp, it made me turn around. "What's wrong Aqua?"

"I thought I heard something. Shh." she hushed me.

So we took out our weapons and looked around with caution and then I witnessed Aqua's ears peeking back.

"Middy!" she yelled her son's name.

"Aika get down!" Middy ran at me and tackled me to the ground.

"Kya!" I fell back and looked up at Middy.

"It's okay my queen, I've got you." he smiled.

I looked up to see that there was an arrow from where my position was, it caused me to gasp. 'O-Oh my god. That could've struck me.' I gulped in my thoughts as Middy helped me up my feet.

"Aw man." Middy said as he, Aqua, and Leo surrounding me with their bodies. "God this brings back memories of hellish nightmares."

"No kidding." Leo said.

"Let's take them down guys." Aqua said.

Just then, I smelled a dark and familiar scent that made me grow pale. "Uh oh."

I witnessed a walking fish mutant that was coming towards us. "Hello turtle and mermaid freak. And you too as well, traitorous turtle clone." the fish said.

Aqua growled. "FishFace."

"Don't you dare call me a clone!" Middy said as he grew angry.

"What do you want from us?" Leo said in a stern tone.

'H-He's getting close, I-I have to get away!' my mind panicked.

"I came here to get your precious princess that's whimpering in fear." FishFace said.

"I won't let you touch her!" Middy stood up for me.

"No Middy, take Aika and make a run for it. Leo and I will take care of Robo Sushi and his army here."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." a mysterious voice was heard as he stepped forward.

"Who are you punk?" Middy said.

I looked away and started trembling. "T-That's Z-Zane."

"In the flesh my sweet princess." Zane said as he took a bow.

(Zane is Aika's enemy!)

"Ahh, one of my best Foot Clan Warriors. Have you come here to claim your prize Zane?" FishFace smirked at him.

"With pleasure." he smirked back.

"Well, he'll have to go through me!" Middy said.

"And me." Aqua said.

"So will I." Leo said.

"Aww, would you look at that? The 3 Musketeers protecting my sweet princess." Zane laughed.

'N-No h-he's too m-much for them! I-I have t-to g-get him a-away from them a-and fast!' I said in my head. "I-It's me you w-want! C-come and g-get me!" I said as I started to run away.

"Attack!" FishFace said.

"Aika!" Middy called my name and started running with me.

"Middy! You have to get away from me! Zane will really hurt you!" I warned him.

"I don't care. You matter to me Aika, and I won't let him hurt you. I'll get hurt for you!"

"No! You need to leave!" I begged him.

Middy skids to a stop and pushed me back, which resulted me into falling on my butt. "No, run my queen! Run!" he said as he ran for Zane with his katana in hand.

"Middy no!"

"I'm doing this for you my love!" he said.

"N-No! No no! Middy don't!!" I said as I witnessed Zane just standing there, smirking, then he made his sword disappear which made me realize his trick. "Middy stop! Stop!!" I yelled.

"Hiya!!!" Middy battle cried as he was about to strike Zane.

Just then, I witnessed Zane's sword that was in front of middy and it stabbed him right through his plastron! "NO!!! MIDNIGHT!!!"

"Hahahahaha!" Zane laughed evilly. "Tisk tisk you should have listened to the princes, little turtle."

My eyes were full of tears that ran down my cheeks. I growled furiously. "I'LL KILL YOU ZANE!!!" I yelled as I charged at him and made my whirlwinds appear on my hands.

(Aika's weapon)

"I shall end his life." Zane said as he was about to strike Middy again!

I gasped. "No!!!" I yelled as I ran in front of Middy and took the strike from Zane through my chest.

"NO!!!" Middy yelled as I felt him catch me.

"Well well well, looks like I'll kill you both and your darling friends at the same time." I heard Zane said as he snapped his fingers. "Bring them to the docks." he told his soldiers and they carried both of us to the docks.

I breathed heavily due to the strike I saved Middy from. "M-Middy..." I said softly, close to passing out. And then I wonder what the Foot, FishFace, and Zane were going to do with me and my friends, and most importantly my secret lover.
