Chapter 1: Disastrous
Lasers shot in all directions from the numerous amount of Kraang droids in the building. The mission had become a complete and utter disaster. It was April's second mission in TCRI, and it couldn't have gone worse. They were lucky to still be alive, considering everything that had happened. If escaping a rock-lava monster wasn't enough to get your adrenaline pumping, then having that happen, running through portals, and having lasers fired at you sure would do the trick. The four brothers and April ran through the halls, dodging every obstacle they came upon. All five of them had perspiration rolling off their foreheads, dripping onto the floor leaving a trail of droplets behind. They were out of breath, and ready to fall over in exhaustion at any given moment, but they kept going, needing to find away out the death trap TCRI had become.
"We need to find a place to either catch our breath, or get the heck out of here!" Leo screamed to the others, over the sound of blasting guns.
"Yes. Thank you oh wise one, for that information! Because that's not what we've been trying to do for the past half hour." Raph shouted back at Leo, with a grim voice.
No one else said a word for the fear of losing a breath and costing them another second of running and being captured. They couldn't risk being taken, being tested on, mutated again... or worse. They turned a corner without any droids following them, but it wouldn't last long. All of them looked around for somewhere to escape, but all that was there was a door.
"Guys, In here!" Mikey shouted. They all entered and finally stopped to catch their breath.
"Well that wasn't... too difficult." April said, breathing heavily, trying to get her heart rate to lower.
Everyone was hunched over, and leaning on their knees for extra support. Their short quick breaths had eventually began to calm, and go back to normal, where they could speak, without having to gasp for air every three seconds. Once rejuvenated, the curiosity of the youngest brother had finally caught on, and he was in total awe.
"Whoa! Dudes, where are we?" Mikey said in astonishment.
"It looks like were in some sort of… control room." Donnie said.
Five pairs of eyes gazed around the room observing their surroundings. April, Donnie, Leo, and Raph started talking about how to get out of here in one piece, instead of twenty, but not Mikey. One brother's light-blue eyes sparkled in amazement, when he realized how many buttons there were on the control panel. He walked over, practically hypnotized by the shiny objects in the room. It was like heaven had came down to Earth in Mikey's sparkling, blue, eyes.
"Woooow..." He said, almost speechless.
He lifted his hands and rapidly began to hit buttons repeatedly, over and over again. He was oblivious to the voices of his brothers that yelled out, "Mikey no!" Mikey's eyes darted to a big red button and he couldn't keep himself from pressing it. He pounded down a fist on the button before April or the guys could stop him.
"Experiment 1, now in commission." An automated voice said.
The door and all other exits were in complete lockdown. Anywhere they could run to had been completely blocked of by a titanium wall and bars. There was no escape form the trap they had walked into. Once they all heard the voice, their faces were stricken with fear. All five of them ran and then pounded on the door.
"Let us out! PLEASE! I'm really trying to be nice here!" April screamed.
They continued to bang against the door, and hope that someone, or something would come to rescue them, but there was absolutely no one.
"Everyone keep calm and let's try to find a way out." Leo said, trying to soothe everyone's panicked expressions.
Suddenly, knockout gas began to expand throughout the the room. Everyone held their breath, but unfortunately being the only human in the room, April lost her breath first and started to lose the strength to stand.
She passed out on the ground, then Donnie called out, "April!"
He clasped his hands over his mouth, and his eyes began to roll back into his head. He fell to the floor with April, asleep in an unconscious stage. Eventually, it was was too much for the others. They all laid on the ground, looking lifeless in their slumber.
"Radiation has now begun." The automated voice called out one more time before white waves of radiation surrounded them all. Everyone eyes scrunched tighter together like they were all having a horrible dream. Te pain was immense, but there was nothing they could do about it. But that was only the start of their problems…
