wielding Raphael over the edge to the floor. Bamey made
magic signs with his fingers at the dark shape and whis-
pered, "Ooola-boola-boola-boo! Cowabunga!"

The Turtle Shield was in place. Bamey could almost see
it glowing in the dark. No ordinary monster would dare cross

though, and the cat was willing to share.

The two of them snuggled in together. The monsters
receded a bit. Monsters- were afraki of cats.

With the cat curled next to his cheek and the Turtles
keeping watch, Bamey drifted off to sleep.
