"Do you have any idea where we're going, Donnie?" Raph was beginning to get a bit skeptical, since his brother had led the charge down twist after turn, to the point he was convinced they'd been going in circles.

"It's not like they have an easy-to-access map of the Technodrome, Raph. Okay, if I'm right, then -this- door should lead to the control room to that pit area." Donnie pushed the button by the side of the door, panels hissing open to reveal a very large room, lined with stacks of cardboard boxes being organized by Foot clan. All two dozen turned their heads.

"...And if I'm wrong, then it's some kind of huge store room instead. Man..."

Raph merely grinned and cracked his knuckles. he'd been getting irritated with all the running around going nowhere, and the gnawing hunger was making him itch for a fight. Now he had one! The Foot soldiers came at them with everything on hand, from crowbars to packing tape, and even tried to run the two of them down with a forklift! Fortunately, Raph and Donnie were better trained, using the surrounding stacks as both cover and as weapons, toppling a few over to stun and slow down their attackers.

"At least now we know what they were doing with all those snack cakes, huh?" Donnie parried a Foot ninja's crowbar as he made small talk with Raph, though his brother seemed to be too busy kicking shell and... was he actually eating snackc akes at the same time? Well, whatever. it's not like he had to remind Raph that his belt looked awfully tight. Still, it was odd behavior for Raphael...

When they finally trumped the nijas and sent the others running, they managed to get a breather. Donnie picked up a stray snack cake and looked it over. "The big question is, -why- are the Foot stealing snack cakes and taking them to the Technodrome? Are they trying to corner the market? Poisoning the city's snack supply? Do they just really like Twinklies?"

Raph grunted as he stuffed another snack cake into his mouth and chewed, savoring the flavor of the cream filling. "Mmph, gotta admit, they're awfully good..." he didn't even bother saying anything when his belt tore. It actually felt more comfortable now!

Donatello shook his head. "They're really not the healthiest thing to eat you know, Raph. they're practically their own food group, made with all sorts of... chemicals... Waiiiiiit a minute! i think I know what they're up to now! C'mon Raph, we have to hurry!" Donnie grabbed his brother's thicker wrist, hauling him up from his seat on the ground and practically dragging him to the door.

1) Donatello explains Shredder's plans to Raphael. All of New York is in trouble if he's right! Hopefully they don't run into anyone else!

2) Wait a minute, what about Leatherhead and Mondo? Let's see if they escape on their own!

3) And what happened to Mikey, Leo, and IRON Chef? Shouldn't they be on their way to the Technodrome to help by now?


Three turtles down, one to go, eh? So many questions, so much fatty potential! You guys're gonna have to decide where we go next. Same as before, just comment below with your favorite choice (and hey, lemme know why, too, if you want!), and in two day's time, we'll see what happens next!

Love me that second panel Donnie face. think I managed just the right amount of concern, confusion, and concentration. Also: Buddha Raph. Heh.
