No Matter What Always Stick Together/TMNT 2003

Notes from the Underground, Part 2

The turtles enter another room, Donnie tries to open the door at the end but won't open. "Its sealed tight." Donnie said to them as the monsters get closer making the turtles run over to the door while Jesse stays with Cheyenne and the group close the vault door but the monsters start damaging it. "Somebody gonna answer that?" Mikey asks them then the red monster bursts the door as the stone monster emerges from the floor and about to attack the turtles. The turtles stand shell to shell ready for a fight until the Blue monster walks into the room. "NO!" Blue monster calls out to its allies to stop. "Say the word bro." Raph said to Leo while Mikey stands behind Tasneem. "Easy Guys, it's ok." Leo said to them then the blue monster sniffs the turtles. "Who are you?" Blue monster asks them. "Not who you think we are." Jesse said to it. "Then why do you carry THOSE?" Blue monster asks while pointing at Donnie's bag containing the crystals. "Whoa! Wait a minutes! We found these crystals in a cavern where staying that's all." Leo said to them. "Yeah and just what business it of yours anyway?" Jamey asks it making the Blue monster grunts. "Those crystals are the embodiment of evil, why have you come here?" Blue monster asks them. "Cause one of you ogres went sniffing around our place looking for trouble so we're here to..." Mikey said making Tasneem covers Mikey's mouth. "To just look for some answers, that's all." Tasneem said to him. "I'm Leonardo and these are my brothers. Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo." Leo said while pointing at his brothers in order as he says it. "My name Jesse, and the girls are my sisters. Jamey, Cheyenne..." Jesse said to them then Tasneem cuts her off. "And Tasneem, that's me by the way." Tasneem said to them while Jesse makes a face. "We were drawn to your habitat, When your crystals were activated." Blue monster said to them. "Gee! Wonder who coulda done that." Cheyenne said while looking at Mikey. "What?" Mikey said to her. "Their energy is a sign of danger to us so we considered you dangerous, thou we usually sense them coming from deeper below." Blue monster said to them. "BELOW? you mean there's more of these crystals down there? We just like to find out where they came from that's all and maybe..." Donnie said making the Blue monster interrupt Donnie. "NO! it is a forbidden place, something unspeakable dwells there amidst the crystals, There are some things man was never meant to tamper with." Blue monster said to them making Tasneem covers Mikey's mouth from saying something. The blue one looks over at the youngest turtles then back to the others. "He IS an odd one." Blue monster said to them. "You don't know the half of it." Tasneem said to him while holding Mikey.

The turtles and the monsters walk back to the genetics lab. "I don't trust these guys." Mikey said to Jamey and Raph. "Why?" Jamey asks him. "Try the fact that they're monsters." Mikey said to her. "Yeah well, to some people so are WE." Cheyenne said to him while Donnie was holding her. Mikey rubs his head as Tasneem pulls him back. "What have I tell you about thinking before you talk." Tasneem said to him. "Think before talking." Mikey said to her while Leo and Jesse talk to the Blue Monster. "I can't believe that shredder had you genetically altered as diggers just to search down here for some enemy." Leo said to him. "Yes, and he did so without remorse, we forced against our will to do his bidding." Blue monster said to him. "He snatched you at random from where?" Jesse asks him. "The streets, our offices, our homes anywhere shadow can conceal a foot soldier. We don't know why we were chosen." Blue monster said to her. "What's your name?" Leo asks him. "I am Quarry of tunnel squad 3 the others are Stonebiter and Razorfist." Blue monster said to them. "No not what the foot called you, your real name." Jesse said to Quarry. "s...si, my memory is..." Quarry said then he grunts. "The experiments performed on us has stripped us of who we are." Quarry said to them. "Yes we saw the video log entries." Leo said to them. "Well don't worry about shredder he got his doom." Raph said to them. "Yeah, he made the mistake of messing with the ninja turtles, there's a lesson to be learned that." Mikey said to them and he laughs. "If you know what Mikey means." Tasneem said to them.

The alarm goes off and they hear monster roars. "Oh no, the others they tripped an alarm at the east delta tunnel, hurry, we must activate the energy shield." Quarry said them then he walks over to the main computer. Quarry tries to activate the shield but the crystal loses its glow. "No No." Quarry said as it tries and again but to no avail. "Don't do a "No No", I hate "No No"s." Mikey said to him. "It's no good, the shield will NOT activate we have power no force field and they're heading this way." Quarry said to them. "Ah yeah, we kinda mentioned force field." Raph said to Quarry. "And Raph kinda broke." Mikey said to them making Raph look at him then the group hears monster roars again. "What is out there?" Cheyenne asks Quarry while using her bo to help her stand up. "The others." Quarry said to her. "Other What?" Jesse asks him. "Test subjects like us, they endlessly prowl the tunnels." Quarry answers her. "Why do have to keep them out?" Leo asks him while Quarry breaks off a monitor and crabs the cables inside. "Because they attack us they're violent, uncontrollable their minds have deteriorated." Quarry said to them as he tries to hot wire the system. "From the genetic mutation?" Cheyenne asks him. "Yes." Quarry said to her. "Then what about you three?" Donnie asks him. "Madness looms in our future as well." Quarry said to him then the group hears another roars again and the Turtles prepare to fight. "Weapons will do no good, without the force field we won't stand a chance." Quarry said to them as the monsters get closer to the lab. "They'll be on us in minutes." Quarry said to them. "You know you're kinda freaking me out here, are you always such a naysayer?" Mikey said to him while Donnie picks up the crystal but then it crumbles. "Huh? Is that the crystals are power sauces?" Donnie asks Quarry. "Yes but that was our only one, when we found it in the catacombs we paid dearly for it." Quarry said to them. "Well, what about one of ours?" Leo asks while he pulls out other one from Donnie's bag. "They're too small, would not last." Quarry said to him then Donnie takes the crystal from Leo. "It only has to last until they give up and move on." Donnie said to him as he places the crystal but it doesn't glow up, not activating the force field. "Come on." Donnie said to himself while Stonebiter, Razorfist, Jamey and Raph closes the heavy door. "There is no spark." Cheyenne said to Donnie who starts taps the crystal with another to activate but to no a veal. "For some reason they won't just power up maybe the connections to these connect nods were charged." Donnie said to her while Quarry breaks offs another screen and looks in at the circuitry. "Or maybe you got the thing upside down." Mikey said to Donnie as he climbs over to Donnie. "It is NOT upside down Mikey." Donnie said to him while the monsters start hitting the door trying to get it with Jamey, Raph, Stonebiter and Razorfist hold it close. "OK let's try it again." Donnie said to them after he was done trying to fix something that may needed it. The other underground monsters knock the doors down started walking into lab the first a Cyclops Monster then an Insectoid Monster, Spider Monster and King Nail. Mikey looks at Donnie then he turns the crystal vertically places it the generator and actives. "It's working." Donnie said to them as the computer turns on and activates the force field. The force field shields the turtles and the monsters inside and it expands wider pushing the other monsters back into the tunnels  then the monsters to break through but to no avail.
