The Big Brawl
Raph and Traximus are paired up for the second round of the Battle Nexus. Raph jokingly says that he's kinda sad that he's gonna be the one to take out Traximus, and Traximus says that Raphael is wrong. Since he'll be knocking Raph out of the tournament, and they proceed to fight. Traximus knock Raph down, and tells him to stay there. Raph "thanks" him for the advice and gets up, telling him to take his own advice. The continue their fight till Traximus gets the upper hand, and says that Raph is a worthy opponent. It's a battle he's not forgetting soon. Raph guarantees he won't and is able to defeat Traximus in the tournament.

As Raph freaks out over Mikey possibly winning the Battle Nexus championship, when Traximus comes over and quickly calms him down. He asks if he wants to drown his sorrows in a drink, and they head to a place to eat. Traximus says that he never got the chance to properly thank the turtles, and Raph asks for what. Traximus explains how they caused a distraction the let him escape the gladiator pits, and that he was at the Battle Nexus to find recruits to fight against the Triceraton leaders. He then tells Raph that a rat assassin made an attempt on the daimyo's life, and Raph spits out his drink upon hearing it. Traximus can't quite remember the name, but Raph knows it's Splinter, and knows he's being framed. Traximus heard that he's being held in the palace dungeon and Raph decides he's going to bust him out. Traximus stops him and says that it's a foolish idea. So he's in.

They get information on where Splinter is and sneak to the dungeon, which is guarded. Raph looks up to the window above and asks Traximus how good Triceratons are at climbing. They then break in through the window, Raph sarcastically saying they were stealthy.
