Interrogator 2: -slaps pictures on the table- "You're an odd one."
Justine: "So I've been told. But then again... I was just an experiment..."
Jessie: "A failed one, at that."
Justine: "Nobody was talking to you, Jess!"

"Donnie, any ideas on how to shake them off our trail?" Leo shouted over his shoulder.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAn413VftkBV
"We need to find a way to outsmart them," Donnie yelled back, "If we can lead them into a trap or create a diversion, we might have a chance."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAt3OCNVUtv9
Casey glanced back, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "I can try to lead them off while you guys come up with a plan," he suggested.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAGH0NS1TX65
Raph nodded, his expression grim. "Just be careful, Casey."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAyrnZsLn0LM
With a nod, Casey went off the path, ducking behind trees and using the dense foliage as cover. The turtles followed, each using their agility and stealth to evade detection.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAye2sk0Ztks
Meanwhile, Shockwave and the girls pursued their enemies with relentless determination, their dragon forms running through the forest with ease. With their senses heightened, they scanned the surroundings for any sign of their targets. The turtles and Casey pushed themselves to their limits, knowing that their survival depended on their ability to outmaneuver their pursuers. Casey and the turtles come to a stop.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdAMuIOnpr5
"Okay. We should be safe," said Raph.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAbCtB7wHWJI
"But, just in case, I think we should build a trap," said Leo.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAwy4sjeZ0Wl
With a nod of agreement, the group quickly set to work, using their surroundings to construct a makeshift trap.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAkFPuboYVE1
"Let's use these vines to create a snare," Donnie suggested, gesturing towards a cluster of thick vines nearby. "If we can lure them into it, we might be able to immobilize them temporarily."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAIeYA4FeJw6
Raph nodded in approval, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of movement. "We'll need to set up some bait to draw them in," he added, his voice low with concentration.
15Please respect copyright.PENANASyVMirLhKv
"I've got just the thing," Donnie said, pulling out a bag of ripe fruit out of his battle shell, "don't ask me why I have it."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZHNDNrhmla
As the turtles worked swiftly to assemble the trap, their senses remained alert, every rustle of leaves or snap of twigs causing them to become tense. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the trap was complete. Leo nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over their handiwork.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAsGShTNfyF1
"Now we wait," Raph said with determination.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAziJXGcwW5b
The group settled into position, hidden among the foliage, their eyes staring at the trap ahead. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as they waited for their enemy to appear, every second feeling like an eternity. And then, just as they began to wonder if their plan had failed, they heard the sound of movement in the distance.

Their hearts raced with excitement as Nova approached, her dragon form cutting through the forest with powerful strides. As the assassin drew closer, her eyes fixed on the bait laid out before her, the turtles and Casey held their breath, ready to spring their trap at a moment's notice. Nova stopped in front of the trap. She stared curiously for a moment before stepping forward and swiping the fruit out of the trap.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAHet3sPyxnh
Leo gave an unamused glare. "All that hard work. And somehow that overgrown lizard managed to escape the trap."
15Please respect copyright.PENANA5YENppKfFY
Nova was soon joined by the other assassins. The girls exchanged a few silent words, before taking off into the sky. The turtles and Casey watched in frustration as their carefully laid trap failed to ensnare Nova and her companions.
15Please respect copyright.PENANARyx5NatRRs
"We can't let them get away," Raph said with frustration, "we need to regroup and come up with another plan."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAODXOIPgJXi
Donnie nodded, his mind already racing with ideas. "We need something more foolproof," he said, "They're too agile in their dragon forms. We'll have to think outside the box."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQaqNntldda
"I've got a feeling they're heading back to that master of theirs," Casey said,"Mikey, we need you to follow them, go find out more about their plans."
15Please respect copyright.PENANASokcUDdTvL
Mikey nodded eagerly. "You got it," he replied, and he disappeared into the shadows, following the assassins back to their home.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAe5RJbPHyK0
The girls returned to their neighborhood shedding their disguises. Luna greeted the neighbors warmly. Penelope replaced her high tech glasses with her normal ones. Alice skipped ahead playfully, her laughter echoing through the neighborhood. Jessie teased and joked with her companions, lightening the mood. Annalise remained alert, her sharp eyes scanning their surroundings.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAOcCwUQVoWA
Mikey joined the girls at their side. "Um...hey...sorry about the attack earlier."
15Please respect copyright.PENANA7sl6gvlHCd
Alice, being kind and forgiving, smiled. "It's okay, Mikey."
15Please respect copyright.PENANATpcQYow4dq
"No, it is NOT okay," Annalise hissed.
15Please respect copyright.PENANA6pMhIGIyWP
Mikey and the girls jerked their heads towards the master's house as they heard yelling. Curious, they run to the windows, listening to the conversation from the outside.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAVqUUfd4zbX
"You had one job!" The master yelled.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZQZrhnRNhj
"They outsmarted me," Shockwave partially lied.
15Please respect copyright.PENANARJAXL8BbAK
"They're just kids, how could they have outsmarted you?" The master yelled with frustration.
15Please respect copyright.PENANACdzYssi4Rv
Shockwave shrugged.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAsznC3kZ2UG
"Well obviously it's because we have a genius on our team," Jessie bragged, nudging Penelope playfully. Penelope smiled modestly, her eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and pride.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQFIkD07lTl
"I made you to be a perfect assassin," said the master, "yet you fail just like that stupid little fire dragon."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAvOGzQiu6AA
Alice shrugged off yet another insult coming from the master. "I mean, I am pretty stupid."
15Please respect copyright.PENANA6O9TGt1im0
"Sorry master..." Shockwave muttered.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAKCid5ztUSA
"Well, if you really think those children are smarter than you, why don't you let them teach you?" The master growled.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAq60PTmP7hA
Once the tension in the house had settled down, Mikey waved farewell to the girls and he went back to where his brothers were hiding in the forest. Mikey relayed everything he saw and heard.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQXP1m8bqdX
"If they're already at odds with their master, it might give us an opportunity to exploit their vulnerabilities," Raph suggested.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAp4PDX5UTA6
Meanwhile, back in the neighborhood, Shockwave and the girls sat in their shared room, introducing each other. "So what's your real name," Alice asked.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAf9r9AVnQzR
"It's Shockwave," Shockwave replied.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAAL49OklFCa
"No no no, that's your assassin name," Jessie corrected, "what's your actual name?"
15Please respect copyright.PENANADpTt6fKikW
Shockwave was silent for a few minutes. "I.. I don't know."
15Please respect copyright.PENANA3592OFBhLl
"So we'll call you Justine," Alice purred.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAmyrhhWqwX3
"Justine," Shockwave questioned.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAqsVu1p7Uqf
"Yeah," Luna replied, "At home and during the day, your name is Justine. And when we go out at night, your name is Shockwave."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdQOVmJxS5j
Alice looked at Annalise who was glaring straight through her. "What did I do?" Alice asked. "You're letting his insults get to yer head," Annalise replied quietly, so that only Alice could hear her. Alice tilted her head. Annalise sighed, "Listen to me, kitty cat, you ain't stupid. I know because I've seen the crazy tricks you've done."
15Please respect copyright.PENANAnzDXOWmhIv
"Really?" Alice asked.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAgUortVEpyc
Annalise gave a soft smile and nodded.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAhTyjNHr8J3
Alice returned the smile. "Thanks...I guess."
