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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA563sh7wocH
"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."
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1WZ7tDpm0s
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJtyvQFxAP1
Raph nodded, his expression grim. "Just be careful, Casey."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAc6eNbZS1ug
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAt1KhLAe841
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANARbdZZtPOHB
"Okay. We should be safe," said Raph.
20Please respect copyright.PENANABlesilH2G7
"But, just in case, I think we should build a trap," said Leo.
20Please respect copyright.PENANADVTKrHYGTj
With a nod of agreement, the group quickly set to work, using their surroundings to construct a makeshift trap.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIH8iczV4Fy
"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."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVxokxxn96i
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAStb1XwrUiJ
"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."
20Please respect copyright.PENANACIFRJMdobr
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEGj3YYCURp
"Now we wait," Raph said with determination.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKpb5JsCYCa
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFaMaeyGTBw
Leo gave an unamused glare. "All that hard work. And somehow that overgrown lizard managed to escape the trap."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAo1raTSS2uh
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAaodZa2pvww
"We can't let them get away," Raph said with frustration, "we need to regroup and come up with another plan."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFdLXPn3vMB
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."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIbsvcYQw2Z
"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."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzeBHbTm7z2
Mikey nodded eagerly. "You got it," he replied, and he disappeared into the shadows, following the assassins back to their home.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAcMp8Cg52T1
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFK997NMcl8
Mikey joined the girls at their side. "Um...hey...sorry about the attack earlier."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAdxmT7XZmJZ
Alice, being kind and forgiving, smiled. "It's okay, Mikey."
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1i8KKy5jfy
"No, it is NOT okay," Annalise hissed.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAU8O8dAhdeY
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAI3K6tdujxt
"You had one job!" The master yelled.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUmhJknPz2V
"They outsmarted me," Shockwave partially lied.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFPNIiIQCeH
"They're just kids, how could they have outsmarted you?" The master yelled with frustration.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPOEbOfg7Yt
Shockwave shrugged.
20Please respect copyright.PENANATucGxo0w49
"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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzgno5R5fRU
"I made you to be a perfect assassin," said the master, "yet you fail just like that stupid little fire dragon."
20Please respect copyright.PENANApEfgcYKmyu
Alice shrugged off yet another insult coming from the master. "I mean, I am pretty stupid."
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5fo4qQ9UOS
"Sorry master..." Shockwave muttered.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvj8f3B6gAx
"Well, if you really think those children are smarter than you, why don't you let them teach you?" The master growled.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxKcz5voKfA
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANADv6zKSd0OJ
"If they're already at odds with their master, it might give us an opportunity to exploit their vulnerabilities," Raph suggested.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHJfQgMwR8M
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA03yo1ATUok
"It's Shockwave," Shockwave replied.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2I6uDIwj1
"No no no, that's your assassin name," Jessie corrected, "what's your actual name?"
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFy8GjibFEQ
Shockwave was silent for a few minutes. "I.. I don't know."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKVqDSftwWy
"So we'll call you Justine," Alice purred.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACOmfLhgpIS
"Justine," Shockwave questioned.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsM9jDTsUso
"Yeah," Luna replied, "At home and during the day, your name is Justine. And when we go out at night, your name is Shockwave."
20Please respect copyright.PENANArqs3zBdw7R
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."
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjoqKBLdz6V
"Really?" Alice asked.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Xb3tO5Y9
Annalise gave a soft smile and nodded.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfnswMFUEBC
Alice returned the smile. "Thanks...I guess."
