Hunter had been following his shadows, but stayed far away enough to where he wouldn't be seen just yet. He continued watching the shadows from afar, making sure they would not fail. If they did, he would give them severe punishment. Mikey tried to hit Shredder with his numchucks when he felt something sharp hit him in one of his arms. This caused him to look away from his enemy and try to pull the needle out. "Is there a nurse somewhere around here?" He joked. Noticing the orange-masked turtle was distracted, Shredder used his steel claws to slash at Mikey's shell. One shadow waved at Arin and then pointed to the ground, indicating where they got the needles from. Arin looked down only to see there were in fact needles poking out of the ground. He wondered why he and the others didn't feel these earlier.
