Alternate storyline for TMNT 2012. I do not own TMNT or most of the characters in this story. I only own the OCS. I hope you enjoy your reading, R&R!
Pink rays illuminate the dark apartment. The only sound is of Kraang lasers charging. Then it moves on to scan the next in line. The ray disappears and something swift moves from the back of the couch to the rim of the open window.
It's still there. Beneath it a couple dozen droids stare blankly at the wall. The scanner moves and so does their small party.
"Is it gone yet?" a trembling whisper echoes faintly in the room.
"Shhhh!" comes the response as the creature sticks her back to the cold wall, struggling to catch one last glimpse of the aliens before they turn around in the corner. A deep breath is released. "Yeah."
Something crawls between the furniture, creeps towards the window then stands up on two human-like feet.
"What are we going to do?" the voice keeps trembling. The eldest fugitive glances down at the other and sighs. She's bruising cold. A thick, white tail wraps around spiky shoulders.
"Once they've ran their midnight scan…we're out of here."
"But Al…"
"No buts. We can't stay stuck in here forever. The ones who don't move, die. It's in the rule of nature."
"I don't think that's very relevant…"
"Nelly, if we stay here they will find us sooner or later. I don't know how the scanners haven't tracked us down yet but…"
A noise was heard from outside. A light breeze entered through the window. They froze in their spots as another dozen Kraang-droids appeared in the corner. They produced odd signaling noises and Al clearly saw a metallic finger pointing towards the two of them.
"Kraang must get mutants that escaped from Kraang!"
A short breath was drawn and one could easily hear Nelly's heartbeat rising and the audible gulp that tore Al's throat.
"Run! Run Nelly!"
They dashed to the front door of their apartment and assuming Kraang would approach them from the front made their way to the rooftop. Al could clearly hear the heavy robotic feet clashing with the metal steps of the emergency staircase. They trapped themselves in a corner of the roof, gasping for air. Al turned to her sister.
"Look, I'll go around from the front and stall them. You have to go! Go back to the dojo and look for Mei! She will know what to do."
Nelly's ruby eyes widened to the point where they almost fell out of her skull. "Al you…"
A fluffy palm covered Nelly's muzzle as her sister wrapped her free arm around her shoulders in a loose hug.
"Take care of yourself, sister."
"Al wait!"
But before she could speak another word the fox-like creature had already dashed towards the front of the rooftop, her white fur doused in magenta lasers as the Kraang started to chase her around. Nelly did not have a chance to process what was happening because three armed droids appeared behind her.
"Mutant must come with Kraang. Resistance to Kraang is futile."
She shook her head stepping backwards, both arms stretched in front of her. One-two….the third step did not meet with ground. The tickle in her belly triggered her instinct and she curled in mid-air into a ball of spikes.
She hit the ground with a loud thud and rolled behind a garbage bin.
