Notes from the Underground, Part 2

The Turtles were being attacked by a group of monster mutants in an abandoned, underground genetics lab built by the Foot clan. During the fight, one of the monsters spoke and Leonardo tried to speak with him, to little effect. During the fight, the same leader was almost rushed by a piece of equipment, but Leonardo saved him. The monsters were stunned by the action, letting the Turtles escape.

The monsters quickly chased after the Turtles and cornered them. Just before the monster delivered the finishing blow, the leader told them to stop and asked Leonardo who he is.

The monster leader introduced himself as Quarry and his friends Razorfist and Stonebiter. Quarry explained that they were unwilling mutated in the Shredder's genetic experiments. When the Foot was finished with them, Quarry and his friends were left in the tunnels. When they heard the crystals at the Turtle Lair, they investigated because the crystals represent a danger that lives deeper underground.

Suddenly, there was roar in the tunnel. Quarry explained that there are other monsters in the tunnel who attack and kill anything they find. He tried to activate the force field, but Raphael knocked the crystal out of place. When replaced, the first crystal burned out. Donatello replaced it with one of his crystals. It lasted just long enough to keep them safe from the monsters.

Leonardo suggested that they need to go deeper into the tunnels to get a crystal to power the force field. In spite of their fears, they all agreed to go. As they go down into the tunnels, they noticed symbols carved on the walls.

The tunnel ended in a solid looking door. Michelangelo lagged behind and came across one of the monsters. He ran toward the group, bringing the monster with them. Donatello noticed a slot by the door and put his crystal in it. Donatello walked into the hall and was surrounded by orbs of light. The lights wrapped around him and he vanished in a flash.
