Chapter Title: Of Turtles and Scoobies

Xander hung up the phone and knew that the meeting would be quite interesting. He knew he would have to tell Buffy how he met the turtles, which would be hard enough, not to mention her thinking that they’re demons. Xander turned around and looked at his friends. “I called them and they should be over in a couple minutes.”

Donatello simply replied, “What should we do, Leo?”

Leonardo walked into the center of the room. He looked at Xander and then at his brothers. “I think we should hide until Xander tells her about us.”

Michaelangelo felt his stomach growl. “Now about that pizza, Xander?”

Xander looked at the orange band-wearing turtle and shook his head in forgetfulness. “Right, Mikey. I’ll get the pizza for you. It’ll take some time.”

“No problem, Dude. Just hurry.”

“Are you guys going to be okay, if I make another pizza?”

“Just go, Xander. I have to talk to the turtles anyway. We’ll be fine.”

Xander looked at the rat. “Yes, Master Splinter. I’ll be back in a bit.” With that being said, Xander left the living room and headed back into the kitchen.

Splinter looked at his students. “My sons, I want you to be considerate to Buffy and her friends. It’s going to be hard for her to understand that we’re not demons.”

Raphael took out his sai and gave it a twirl. “How strong do you think this Slayer is? I mean she never went up against four ninja turtles.”

Donatello looked at his brother. “According to Xander, pretty strong. But I have my doubts.”

“Explain, Donny.” Leonardo ordered.

Just as Donatello was about to answer, a knock was heard from the front door. Then a voice was sounded, “Xander?”

Leonardo scanned the living room. “Hide.”

***Outside The Harris House***

Two Minutes Prior

Buffy and her friends drove up to Xander’s house minus Riley. The Slayer wanted to know what was so important that she had to come over. She looked at Willow, Anya, and Giles. “What do you think is so important?”

“I don’t know, Buffy. You’re the one that talked to him.” Giles replied. “It must be something important if he asked for me as well.”

The Watcher parked the car in Xander’s driveway, and looked at the girls. “Let’s see what Xander needs.”

They all piled out of the car and headed for the door. Buffy looked at Willow and said, “Too bad Riley couldn’t come.”

Willow squeezed her shoulder. “I’m sure he’ll be here later.”

Buffy sighed, “Maybe, if he isn’t busy with the Initiative.”

“Hurry up, Buffy! I want more sex!” Anya pleaded.

Buffy walked up to the door. She knocked the door and said, “Xander?”

There was no answer.

She twisted the doorknob and luckily found it to be open. Buffy opened the door and walked inside. “Xander?” The others followed her inside.

The Turtles and Splinter were already in hiding.

“I’m in the kitchen, Buffy.”

Buffy scanned the living room and could have sworn she saw movement of a flash of green. She began inspecting the living room. “What’s so important?”

Then Buffy saw something else. The door to a closet just shut and she heard voices. She walked over to the closet and opened it. Buffy turned on the light from the switch next to the wall alongside the door.

Then she saw him. “Who are you?”

Willow ran over to Buffy. “What’s going on, Buffy?” The Witch looked inside as well and saw Michaelangelo.

Buffy pulled him out of the closet and threw him to the ground. “Xander? Did you know you have a demon here?”

“I’m not demon, Dudette. I’m a mutant!” Mikey answered back, as he stood back up.

Buffy charged forward to one of the turtles and spun kicked Michaelangelo in the head, “Take that.” Before it made an impact, he pulled his head into his shell. “Note to self: Don’t aim for his head.”

Donatello rushed out of his hiding place and into his brother’s defense with his bo at his deposal. He placed one end of the bo on the ground and used his weight to jump from where he was to the space between Michaelangelo and Buffy. “Will you listen to us, Buffy? We’re not demons, we’re mutants.”

At that point Michaelangelo poked his head back out of his shell. “Is it safe yet?” He looked around the room and saw Buffy and Donatello sparring off. “Come out, Dudes!”

Leonardo, Raphael, and Splinter came out as well. “Michaelangelo?”

“Yes, Master Splinter?”

“Get Xander.”

Willow spun around to the other ‘demons.’ “How do you know, Xander?”

Buffy and Donatello stopped sparring when she kicked him in the yellow chest. “Mutants aren’t real! Demons are!”

Donatello landed on the floor in pain and said as Xander and Mikey walked into the living room. “You said Slayers were strong, Xander. I just never really believed you till now.”

Buffy was surprised that these demons knew her name and what she was, but something still wasn’t right to her. She approached him as he jumped to his feet. “Mutants are real, Buffy. How many times do I have to tell you!?”

He took his bo and pinned Buffy against the wall across her chest. “A little help here, Xander.”

Xander looked at Donatello and walked over to the pinned Slayer.

“What the fuck is going on here, Xander!?” Buffy yelled in rage. “How do these demons know you?”

Xander couldn’t believe what was happening. The Turtles have been telling her that they are not demons, yet she still thinks they are. “You’re always like this, Buffy! These ‘demons’ as you call them are mutants. I’ll fill you and everyone in a bit. These mutants are friends of mine!”

For the first time Buffy relaxed since she walked inside. “You know these mutants! How? When? Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“Let’s just sit down in the living room. Everything will be told.” Xander told them.

“I’ll let go if this mutant lets go of me,” she said with disgust.

“This mutant’s named Donatello.” Donatello withdrew his bo and placed it back to where he kept it behind his shell.

“Perhaps Xander could introduce us properly. My name’s Rupert Giles.” He said as walked to where everyone was now gathered in the living room.

“That would make you the Watcher. Xander told us about you. And you’re Willow, but who’s the other girl? ” Splinter questioned.

“That’s my girlfriend, Anya.” Anya walked over to Xander and stayed closed to him.

“May I ask one question though, how did come to be as you are?” Giles asked

“It’s because of the mutagen, Dude?” Michaelangelo responded.

“Dude?”

Raphael simply responded, “You have to ignore, Mikey, Giles. He hit his head when he was younger and it never fully healed.”

“Very well then.” Raph nodded. “What’s this about mutagen?”

Xander suggested that everyone sit down in the living room, because he knew there was much to discuss. “You know the way you like to talk about the chosen one, G-man?”

“It’s my duty to tell that story, Xander.”

“You know you like to talk about it, Giles. I see the way your face lights up when you talk about it,” Buffy teased.

“Fine, Buffy. I do like to talk about it. What does this have to do about mutagen?”

Leonardo simply responded. “Master Splinter likes to tell this story as well.”

Splinter scanned around the living room and made sure that everyone would listen. “Well Mr. Giles, many years ago, I was once a man named Hamato Yoshi. Where I lived in Japan studying the art under a Ninja Clan called the Foot. One day, a man named Oruku Saki framed me for attempted murder, which caused my banishment from the Clan. Fifteen years ago I arrived in New York where I was forced to live in the sewers scourging for food. My only friends were the rats and shortly after four baby turtles.”

“That was us,” Mikey said with pride. Splinter shot him a look. “Sorry, Master Splinter.”

“What does this have to do with mutagen?” Anya asked

Xander rolled his eyes and simply replied, “My girlfriend ladies and gentleman.”

Anya was shocked. “What’s that supposed to mean, Xander?”

Buffy looked at the Xander and Anya deciding to help her best friend out. “It’s nothing, Anya. I’m sure Splinter’s going to fill us in.”

Anya crossed her arms across her chest and slumped back into the couch. “Fine.”

Xander mouthed, “Thank you,” to Buffy who nodded in acknowledgment.

Splinter sneered at the ex-demon. “Anyways, back to the story. One day I found the four turtles wondering in some green ooze which is called, mutagen.”

“I went to the turtles kneeling into the mutagen myself with my pet rat and attempted to clean the turtles off. Something strange happened. The mutagen altered our bodies and turned me into a four foot rat. My sons turned into five foot turtles. Later, I became the turtles’ teacher. I named them all after my favorite Renaissance Artists. They’re the ones that gave me the name, Splinter. I taught them Ninjitsu since that fateful day. I even taught Xander for a while.”

Buffy just spun from Splinter to the Turtles to Xander. “These mutants are turtles! Kinda big for turtles and a rat. You know Ninjitsu, Xander?”

“Yeah, Buff. I met them this past summer while I was in Manhattan. Besides Master Splinter and Donatello. There’s also Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Raphael.”

Raphael sighed, “Figures the Zeppo would list me last.”

Splinter shot him a look. “Raphael.”

“Sorry, Master Splinter.”

Splinter looked at Buffy, Willow, Anya, and Giles to see if they had any new reactions, but they really didn’t have any.

Giles took off his glasses and cleaned them with his handkerchief. “You turtles know Ninjitsu?”

“Each of them knows how to use a specific weapon. Leonardo uses the katana blades. Donatello the uses the bo. Raphael uses the sais. Finally there’s Michaelangelo who uses the nunchuks.”

Willow looked at the turtles and Splinter. “Let me get this straight. Xander met you during his summer trip. Splinter taught him Ninjitsu, and the turtles are named after Renaissance Artists.”

“Renaissance Artists?” The Slayer asked.

“Yes, Buffy. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo were artists that were popular during the Renaissance.”

Buffy looked at the turtles taking in their abilities into memory. “We know what did this to you, but why are you here in Sunnydale? How do you know Xander?”

“I’ll fill this in Master Splinter.” Donatello said. “Our nemesis, Oruku Saki or as he’s now called, Shredder, is planning to open the Hellmouth to bring the Technodrome to Dimension X.”

“Good lord. Shredder’s trying to open the Hellmouth?” Then Giles paused. “What’s the Technodrome?”

“First things first. Shredder has to find the Jewel of Zanubis, Sword of Jiptko, and Ring of Squinix. We’ve got no idea where he is, and what he has so far. To answer your other question, the Technodrome is Shredder’s base underneath the Earth’s surface.”

Willow gulped and looked at Xander who was sitting next to Anya and Leonardo. “But how did you meet?”

“I’ll explain that now.”

:::::::Flash Back:::::::

Xander walked out of the gas station carrying a twenty oz. Bottle of Coke. He sat down on the ledge looking at the night sky. Xander couldn’t see that many stars because the lights from the gas station were shining brightly. He took a swig of his soda and stared at the pavement. Xander could feel the vibrations of the cars going by under his feet.

He looked into the street and saw a couple of vampires running wild. Xander immediately jumped to his feet and started to chase after them. “Why can’t vampires leave me alone?”

The two vampires looked back at Xander. “Perhaps it’s your magnetic personality,” one of them hissed.

“What are you going to do, boy? Stake us?” The other said “Fat chance!”

Xander pulled out a stake during his pursuit. “Exactly, Fang Faces.”

“This boy knows what he’s doing! Let’s get out of here!” One of the vampires yelled.

“And lead him to our lair.” The other vampire whispered to his partner with a grin. “To the sewers.”

Xander didn’t hear the last part, but continued on his chase. He chased them down into the sewers and saw them stop in the middle of nowhere. “What’s wrong, Overbites? Run out of room.”

One of the vampires simply returned. “We’re waiting for our friends.”

Xander gulped and scanned the sewers for any more vampires. “Friends?”

At that point, five more vampires came out of nowhere.

Xander knew he was in trouble, and he wished he had Buffy with him. However, that wasn’t going to happen. “If I’m going to go out, I’m going to go out fighting.”

With that being said, Xander launched himself into the seven vampire horde.

One vampire came charging at Xander and swung a punch into his gut. “This is too easy!”

Xander flew a few feet back and landed into some sewer water.

Splash.

Xander jumped back to his feet and charged back to his attacker. The vampire shot him with a punch, but Xander blocked it with his free arm and then stabbed it with his stake.

After the vampire’s dust fell to the water, two more vampires charged toward Xander. He looked around and knew that the six remaining were too much. His life flashed before his eyes. He saw images of Jesse and Willow, moments of good with his parents, the first day he saw Buffy, the Scoobies, Cordelia, and finally the person he loves. Xander saw Buffy.

One of the vampires approached Xander and grabbed him by the neck. “Lunch Time,” it hissed.

At that moment, the vampire became dust. Xander looked at his savior and found it to be a demon with a wooden staff. “This is just great! I run into vampires and now I run into a demon”

The demon looked at Xander. “I’m not a demon, kid. I’m a mutant turtle.” He helped Xander up. “The name’s Donatello. What’s your name?”

Xander didn’t know if he should trust Donatello. He looked around the sewer and only found two more vampires fighting a demon with swords. Then he looked back at Donatello. “How do I know you’re not a demon?”

Another demon came up to Xander and Donatello. “If we were demons, wouldn’t we try to kill you? I think I just saw Donatello help you, Dude.”

Xander finally understood. These demons weren’t demons at all. They were mutants. “My name’s Xander Harris.”

The mutant with the swords decapitated his two vampire foes with one quick swipe across their necks. “I thought foot soldiers were hard. These recent vampires in Manhattan are tougher.” He walked over to where his brothers were talking to the boy.

Raphael walked over to his orange-band wearing brother and his purple-band wearing one too. “What did we tell you about taking in new pets, Michaelangelo.”

Xander looked at the turtles. “Let me get this straight. You’re mutant turtles, but I thought the only mutants were in comic books. Y’know, like X-Men. This is real life!”

Raphael laughed. “Who would read stories about mutants?”

Leonardo introduced himself. “Excuse Raphael, Xander. He makes bad jokes about everything. My name’s Leonardo. I believe you already met the other turtles. Let’s take you to Master Splinter.”

Xander heard footsteps coming from behind him and turned around. He saw another vampire. Xander threw his stake and it punctured the vampire in the heart. “That was easy enough.” He turned around to the turtles. “Who’s Master Splinter?”

Mikey responded, “He’s our sensei, Dude. Splinter’s also a mutant rat.”

Xander shook his head in disgust. “I leave Sunnydale where demons and vampires live. Now I come to Manhattan, and find out that mutants exist. Just promise me there are no more mutants.”

Donatello looked at Leonardo. “You want to tell him, or should I?”

:::::::End of Flash Back:::::::

Buffy just slumped back into the couch. “Why didn’t you tell me before, Xander?”

Xander responded, “The turtles made me promise not to tell anyone about them. They gave me a communicator and that’s who I was talking to the other day at the Bronze.”

Leonardo asked, “Since this is taken care of, we should try to figure out where Shredder is, and what he has at this point?”

“Maybe we can talk to Willy? Anything else we need to know about Shredder?” The Slayer questioned.

Donatello responded, “Besides the fact that Shredder might have brought Bebop and Rocksteady? Nothing else.”

Willow looked confused. “Who are Bebop and Rocksteady?”

Chapter Title: Where For Out Thou, Shredder


Donatello looked at Willow and realized that the site of talking turtles and a rat was a lot to take in. He wasn’t sure how they would react to them knowing that Bebop and Rocksteady were also mutants. The turtle decided to tell her straight out. “Bebop and Rocksteady are mutants like us. Except for the fact that Bebop’s a warthog and Rocksteady’s a rhinoceros.”

Buffy looked at the turtles. “There sure a lot of mutants out there, aren’t there?”

Michaelangelo simply responded, “There sure are, Dudette.”

“I just hope there’s not a mutant rabbit.” Anya stated. “That would be so wrong.”

Donatello was surprised what Anya said. One of their friends was a rabbit. “Why do you hate rabbits, Anya? One of our friends is a rabbit.”

Anya glared at Donatello and said loudly, “Bunnies are horrible. They aren’t cute, and I hate the way they twitch their noses. I mean how could they only eat carrots? They don’t need all that perfect eyesight!”

Xander ignored his girlfriend. “Speaking of rabbits. How’s Usagi Yojimbo doing?” Xander asked the turtles remembering them talking about him from his last visit.

Leonardo looked at his best human friend and replied, “The last we heard from him was about a month ago. He’s doing pretty well.”

“That’s cool, Leo.” Xander said with a smile.

“Who’s Usagi Yojimbo?” Giles asked.

Splinter looked at the ex-demon and responded, “Usagi is a friend of ours. He’s a samurai rabbit.”

“I miss Usagi, Dudes.”

Raphael knew that Mikey always talked like that, and he has learned to tolerate it, but there was one thing that was somewhat annoying about his brother. “I know you like saying Dude, Michaelangelo, but please just don’t say that other word. It gets annoying at times.”

“What word, Raph?” Mikey asked while twirling one of his nunchuks.

“Never mind. I don’t want to say it.”

Buffy wanted to know the word. “What word, Raphael?”

Raphael placed his hands over Michaelangelo’s ears so he couldn’t hear. “Don’t tell him I said it, Buffy. The word is ‘Cowabunga.” He says it way too much.”

Michaelangelo freed his ears. Then he figured out the word. “You mean, Cowabunga.”

Raphael shook his head in disgust. “Fine. It’s that word. Just please reframe from using it too much, or I’m going to shove anchovy pizza down your throat.”

“Enough, Raphael and Michaelangelo. Ten ninja flips now.” Splinter told them. The ninja flips have become the best way of punishment for his sons. It was the perfect blend of exercise and punishment.

“Yes, Master Splinter.” They said in unison.

With that being said, Michaelangelo and Raphael went to the back of the living room and started their punishment.

At that moment the door to Xander’s house burst open. “Sorry I’m late, Buffy. Professor Walsh needed me but—“ then Riley saw the turtles and Splinter. “Are you crazy, Buffy? Why are you with these demons?”

Raphael stopped his punishment and looked at the door. Then he shook his head again, but this time in disbelief. “Here we go, again.” He said in a sigh. “I think we need your bo, Donatello.”

Riley took out his walkie-talkie and said, “I got to report this to the Initiative. They should know about these new hostiles.”

Raphael stood up and pulled out one of his sais. “No you don’t, farmboy.” Then he threw one of his sais and it his walkie-talkie out of Riley’s hand and it landed onto a tree outside. “No one else needs to know that we’re here.”

Buffy walked over to Riley. “They’re not demons, Riley. They’re mutants. Just think of them as overgrown turtles and a rat.”

Riley couldn’t believe what was happening. Buffy was actually protecting these demons or what she calls mutants. It didn’t matter what they were. The only thing that mattered was that they weren’t human. “I don’t care if they’re not demons or if they’re mutants. They’re not human, and that’s what’s important.”

Buffy didn’t know what to do. She hated the fact that Riley was about to put them in the Initiative’s captivity. “I can’t believe you’re like this Riley. These turtles are friends of ours—especially Xander.”

“What does Xander have to do with this, Buffy?” He looked outside from where he stood and saw the walkie-talkie pinned up against the bark of the tree attached by the sai. Then he turned back to Buffy. “I didn’t know this creature could throw that well.”

Raphael walked over to the arguing couple. “This creature’s name is Raphael. And I’m a mutant turtle.” He paused and noticed it was still day outside. “Be a good boy, and fetch my sai.”

Riley didn’t want to be told what to do, especially by something not human. “There is no way—”

Before Riley could finish his statement, Buffy pointed her finger to the tree. “Get it Riley! I need to talk to the them about Shredder.”

“Who?”

“Just go, Riley!’ The slayer ordered her boyfriend. “I’ll fill you in later, if you could behave yourself. Not all things not human are bad.”

Riley looked at his girlfriend and knew that she was serious. “Oh yeah, Buffy. Name one good demon besides these friends here and your last boyfriend!”

Buffy couldn’t believe that he brought up Angel. At least Angel would understand, as would Xander. She glared at Riley. “Don’t you dare bring Angel into this!” Buffy looked at Xander and Leonardo then back at Riley. “I’m getting out of here. I have to talk to Willy. Come on, Leonardo and Xander. We’ve got a bartender to see!”

Xander got up as well as Leo. “What about Riley, Buff? He’s going to talk to Professor Walsh as soon as we leave.”

Buffy looked at Xander and returned, “Raphael destroyed his walkie-talkie thanks to his sai, and he’s going to stay here till we get back. I want Donatello and Willow to watch him. I need some time away from him.”

“Hold on, Buffy! I’m not going to stay here, while you go down a couple of beers!”

Buffy just shook her head in shame. “Come on guys. We have to meet Willy.”

Leonardo grabbed his trench coat and put it on. Then the two of them followed Buffy out of the door and headed to Willy’s.

Riley was about to leave when Michaelangelo walked over to him. He took one of his nunchuks and swung it around Riley’s neck and brought his head down to face him. “I wouldn’t go anywhere, Dude.”

***Willy’s Bar***

Buffy, Xander, and Leonardo walked inside the bar and found Willy cleaning off the counter. Together, they walked over to the bar.

“How you doing, Willy? Long time no see.”

Willy looked up at Buffy. “What are you doing here, Slayer? I don’t need any trouble.”

Buffy grabbed Willy by his shirt collar and brought him close to her face. “Tell me, Willy. Have you heard anything about a warthog or rhinoceros?”

Willy knew exactly what she was talking about, like he usually did. Of course, he didn’t want to give out private information without proper incentive. The bartender tried to act innocent. “I don’t know anything about a warthog or rhinoceros.”

Buffy looked at Leonardo and asked, “Can I borrow one of your katana blade, Leonardo. I think Willy needs a little convincing.

At that moment, a creature’s ears perked up at the mention of Leonardo, a warthog, and a rhinoceros. It left its table and saw someone in a trench coat. He walked over to Leonardo and stated, “Leonardo?”

Leonardo spun around to the source of the voice. “Usagi?” He nodded. “I’m here because of Shredder.”

Usagi looked at Buffy and Xander. “Shredder? What’s he doing here? Who are these people, and why are threatening this man?”

Buffy turned around and looked at the rabbit warrior. “I’m Buffy. That’s Xander. I’ll be with you in a minute. I need one of your katanas, Leo.”

Leonardo gave one of his katanas to her and she placed it against Willy’s neck. “I’m going to ask you again, Willy. Have you seen a warthog and a rhinoceros? They might have talked about someone named, Shredder.”

Willy gulped and new that he had to tell the truth. After all, he wanted to stay alive, and the katana blade at his neck was certainly an incentive. “Yeah. A rhinoceros and a warthog were here two days ago. They were asking about any abandoned warehouses and the Jewel of Zanubis, Sword of Jiptko, and Ring of Squinix.”

Buffy pulled the sword away from Willy and kept by her side. “That’s better, Willy. What did you tell them?”

Willy just felt so much relief. He still wanted to try and remain some respect for his customers. The bartender wanted to own a successful business. “Nothing else, Slayer. Honest.”

Buffy retook the sword and it struck the wall that was behind Willy in full force.

Thwack.

The sword was about one or two centimeters from his ear. “Next time I won’t miss. What did you tell them!?”

Xander approached Willy and grabbed him by the collar like Buffy did before. “I would answer her. You wouldn’t like it when she gets mad.”

Buffy glared at Xander. “Xander?”

Xander looked at Buffy and understood. “Sorry, Buff.”

Buffy returned her gaze to the bartender. “What else did you tell them?” She pulled the katana out of the wall and pressed it against his neck again.

Willy gulped. “I told them there was a warehouse on Maple Street. Number 1981. As for the special items I didn’t tell them anything, but I did leave some stuff out.”

“Not that I’m happy that you didn’t tell them everything, but why didn’t you?” Buffy asked Willy.

Willy pushed the katana away from his throat so he could breath easily. “Because, Slayer. They were telling me about opening the Hellmouth. I didn’t want them to know where the sword was.”

Xander simply asked. “Where’s this sword anyway, Willy?”

“It’s at a barn off of Redwood Avenue.”

Buffy gave Leonardo back his katana. “That wasn’t so hard, Willy.” Then she looked at Usagi Yojimbo. “I think we should talk.”

The four of them walked over to a booth so they could talk. Buffy and Xander sat on one side of the table while Leonardo and Usagi at the other side.

“Not to be rude, Usagi. But how come you’re here?”

“That’s an interesting tale, Leonardo. In my dimension, I was performing a ritual where we were sending a demon back to its own dimension. With the portal to a dimension up, the demon grabbed me and threw me through it. The demon stayed behind, and the portal closed behind me.”

Usagi looked at Leonardo and his new friends to see if there was any reaction. Unfortunately, there was no such reaction. “Why are your friends not so shocked, Leonardo?”

Xander placed his hand on the table and stated. “Being that Buffy is the Slayer, we usually see weird stuff all the time.”

Usagi just remembered his last visit with the turtles, and how they talked about Xander. “Your not the same Xander the turtles know, are you?”

“That’s me. Anyways, back to your story.”

“Right, Xander. I landed in this dimension by accident. I had heard about this bar and decided to try and get some answers. Then I saw Leonardo, here. What’s this about Shredder, and the Hellmouth?”

Buffy clasped Xander’s hand with hers by accident, and felt a wave of warmth run though her body, but immediately pulled her hand away and placed it on her lap. Then she replied. “The Hellmouth is a demonic gateway to other dimensions. We need to stop Shredder from opening it to bring the Technodrome to Dimension X.”

Xander couldn’t take his mind off the fact that Buffy placed her hand on his. He liked that feeling, and it was better than the way Anya held his. Xander just ignored his inner thinking and brought his attention back to the conversation at hand.

Usagi just slumped back to his seat and looked at Leonardo, and then at Buffy. “I’ll help you stop Shredder, but I need a way to get back home.”

Leonardo remembered that Donatello had his machine still in working fashion. “When we’re done, we can use Donatello’s trans-dimensional portal again to send you back.”

Buffy looked at Usagi and realized that Anya wouldn’t be too happy with him here. “Guys?”

Xander looked at Buffy and said, “Yeah Buffy?”

“How do you think Anya’s going to take it with Usagi being here?”

Xander realized that he never thought about that yet. He knew that he should be able to talk to her, and explain the situation. “That should be interesting, but I can talk to Anya. I’m sure she can get over her fear.”

Usagi didn’t understand what was going on. “Who’s Anya?”

Xander replied. “She’s my girlfriend, but she thinks rabbits are scary.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t worry, Usagi. I’ll talk to her when we get back. She’ll be okay.”

Buffy looked at her best friend. “You really think she’s going to be okay with this, Xander. I mean, he’s a big rabbit.” Buffy looked at the rabbit that just stared at the table. “No offense, Usagi.”

“None taken, Buffy.”

Buffy just sighed in relief. “You’re going to need all the help you can get, Xander to make her understand. I’ll help in every way I can. It’ll help me too. I need some time away from my boyfriend.”

Xander nodded. “Thanks, Buff. We better check out this warehouse before we go back to my house. Just to see what Shredder has planned.”

Leonardo responded. “That should work, Xander. We better hurry. I may have a trench coat, but Usagi doesn’t.”

“Good point, Leo. Especially with the Initiative around. We’re going to keep you guys close to us. At least Xander brought his car.”

Xander nodded. “Let’s go guys.”

The four of them left the booth and headed for the warehouse.

***Outside Sunnydale Abandoned Warehouse***

Xander parked his car outside the warehouse in an alley. The four of them climbed out of the car and walked over to the door.

Buffy quietly opened the door and the four walked inside. They luckily found some boxes next to the right wall. They crept over to behind the boxes so not draw too much attention to themselves. The four wanted to hear what Shredder would say.

Shredder had a map on a table. He was trying to pinpoint the exact locations of the sword and the jewel. “Now that we have the ring, we need the other two. According to the map, we haven’t tried the barn yet.”

Rocksteady walked over to Shredder. “Ooh Ooh. Is that the farm where old McDonald lives? I want to thank him for writing that song. My mom sang it to me when I was a baby.”

Bebop shook his head in disgust. “You Dork. That’s the farm where Grandpa lives. Y’know, like the song. ‘We’re on our way. We’re on our way. On our way to Grandpa’s farm.”

Shredder looked up towards the ceiling and said, “I’m being punished, aren’t I?”

Xander, being the clumsy man that he was, accidentally knocked some of the boxes down with his foot.

Shredder immediately turned to the fallen boxes lay. “Who are you?”

Leonardo took of his hat so that Shredder could see who he was. “You’re not going to get away with this, Shredder.”

“Leonardo, Usagi Yojimbo? I don’t think your going to be able to stop us. Who’re your other friends with you? You should not have involved them.”

Xander glared at Shredder. “That’s for us to know, and for you to find out. You’re not going to open the Hellmouth!”

Shredder laughed. “Want to make a bet, boy?”

“I bet you ten dollars that we could kick your ass.” He turned to Buffy. “Right?”

“Right.” Buffy returned.

“Bebop, Rocksteady, Foot soldiers. Attack!”
