Ch. 2-Captured

After Mona left the three remaining turtles decided to wait for Raph to come back before they checked out Donnie's new invention. April finished her training with Master Splinter and Casey came down a couple minutes later. Now the six teenagers were in the main room each doing their own thing. Donnie was telling April about the plans for his next invention, Mikey was playing video games with Casey, and Leo was attempting to beat Raph's high score.

Splinter emerged from the dojo with a frown on his face. He scanned the room before he spoke. "My sons," All eyes turned to the old rat. "I sense that your brother is in grave danger."

"What do we do, Sensei?" Leonardo asked.

"Call your brother." His father answered.


Mona and Raph were sitting quietly in the rain, when they heard the soft shuffle of metallic footsteps. The Krang. Just had to ruin the moment, Raphael thought to himself, annoyed. "How did they find us?" Raph yelled to Mona as they ran hand in hand down the alley, Krang fire coming up at them from behind.

"I don't know!" she shouted back. "But they're obviously out to get me!"

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" The turtle growled menacingly, turning to throw a handful of shuriken.

When they reached the end of the alley another Krang with a strange looking blaster jumped in front of them. Mona's eyes widened and she pushed Raph out of the way knocking them both to the ground, the shot missing them by inches. "Don't let the blast hit you!" She said as they jumped off the ground and went back the way they had come. Raphael charged through the remaining Krang and the turned down another alley.

"I'm guessing that wasn't an ordinary blaster." He said as they ran towards the docks.

"No it wasn't. It's a paralytic, a stun gun."

"What does it do?"

"At its lowest setting it'll make you completely unable to move, at a median one shot and you'll be out of action for hours. If it hits you in its strongest setting, you may never open your eyes again."

"Ouch. Thanks for the save."

"Your welcome." Their eyes met for a moment before they heard the sound of more Krang approaching.

Raph jumped into a nearby alleyway, pulling her in beside him. They held their breath as the Krang stepped towards their hiding spot. The Krang paused for a moment, and Raphael grabbed Mona's hand and stared into her eyes. Krang looked into the alley, and seeing nothing turned away and continued the search. The turtle and lizard let out a breath they hadn't realized they'd been holding. And then Raph's phone rang.

Raphael threw it into her hands as the Krang rushed back around the corner. Mona Lisa answered and began talking. The emerald green turtle scooped her into his arms and jumped up onto a fire escape. When he reached the roof he put her down and they ran as fast as they could, the hot-headed turtle barely registering the conversation she was having. He snatched the phone unceremoniously from her hands and yelled angrily "Who is this?"

"Raph, its me you need to come home now. Master Splinter says that you're in danger."

"No shell we're in danger Leo, your freaking phone call almost got us shot! The Krang are on our tail and they've got guards on all the man-hole covers." He said as he looked down into an alley with access to the sewers.

"Do you need backup?"

Raphael had to resist the urge to swear. "YES!"

"Where are you?"

"Right now we're on the run, headed towards the docks."

"We'll be there as soon as we can."


Everyone looked up at Leo as he ended the call. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Slow down Casey. We need to make a plan."

"The Krang are after your brother and his girlfriend and you want to stop and make a plan?!" Casey asked sounding very Raph-like.

"My son, I am afraid that Casey is right. There is no time to waste. I have no doubt that the Krang are seeking revenge for the destruction of their super computer. We must leave now."

"Hai, Sensei."

"Does this mean you will be joining us, Sensei?" April asked.

"Yes, April. I sense that I will be needed tonight."

"What? Sensei, are you sure we should drag April into this, the Krang are after her too." Donnie exclaimed worriedly.

Splinter rubbed his chin in thought. "Hm. Yes. Perhaps it would be better if you stayed here."

"No! Sensei, I am not just going to stand by and wait while you guys put your lives at stake! I'm going." April stared Master Splinter right in the eyes, determined.

"I can see there is no use arguing with you. Very well you may accompany."

"Let's go." Leo said and they all headed to the Shell Raiser.


Mona and Raph had reached the docks with the Krang hot on their tail. Shipping containers stacked sky high created two paths. They exchanged a glance and nodded. Raph went one way and Mona Lisa another splitting the remaining Krang forces in two.

The lizard mutant ran weaved swiftly between the giant containers but jerked to a stop when she realized she'd hit a dead end. Mona climbed up the side of one of the shorter stacks of containers. She ran along the tops of the containers when flying Krang appeared and landed on the container in front of her. She turned and ran the other way, yet skidded to a halt. It was a dead end. The stack was positioned at the edge of the docks, it was a straight drop to the sea. There's nowhere left to run. Unless…

Mona Lisa turned back to the Krang in a fighting stance and they readied their blasters. A Krang with a stun gun stepped in front of the others and the rifle started to charge. The lizard mutant smirked and back flipped over the edge, diving into the stormy water below.


Raph had been running for what seemed like an eternity. He stopped at the docks and turned around ready to fight when he realized that at least half of the Krang following him had those new stun guns.

"Surrender turtle."

"Not gonna happen." He retorted.

"Then prepare to be that which is known as eliminated."

Raphael tensed, ready to jump into the fray as their weapons prepared to fire.

The Shell Raiser appeared out of nowhere, taking out several Krang as it landed on the docks. The turtles, Casey and Master Splinter jumped out and began fighting the Krang. Raph smirked and, not about to let his brothers have all the fun, joined in.

April took out one of the Krang with her fan and Raph turned to his older brother. "Are you crazy bringing her here? They're after her!"

"She insisted, we didn't have a choice. You alright?"

"Peachy." The younger replied sarcastically.

Unfortunately, they failed to notice a couple of detached brain-aliens sneaking off to the side.


The brains smiled wickedly at each other and crawled over to a special container bearing the TCRI logo. A retinal scanner on the side of the container made the side panel slide open, revealing a giant ray gun. The Krang grinned again and climbed into the operating pods. "Squeee, squee squee squee squee." (Krang, we must destroy the ones who are turtles.)

"Squee Squee, ssqueeee squeee squee squee squee squeee, squee squee." (No Krang, we should capture the Turtles and the one called April O'Neil and deliver them to Krang Prime.)

"Squee, squee squee squeee squeee squee squee squee." (Yes, perhaps we will receive that which is known as a promotion.) The alien brain set the blaster to stun and aimed toward the battle.


The red-banded turtle backed out onto the short pier as the Krang came at him with their stun guns. He dodged the shots and stabbed two of them with his sais before whirling around and kneeing the rifle of the third, sending the shot skywards. The muscular turtle punched the Krang in the face, snapping its tiny little robot neck. Raph looked up from his bot-bashing when he heard something that sounded like heavy machinery. He saw the over-sized blaster aimed directly at his family and his eyes went wide. "Guys look out!" But it was too late. His brothers, Master Splinter, Casey and April all fell to the floor. "No!"

The gun turned towards him and he backed up, without realizing he was at the end of the pier. Raphael plummeted into the water shell first. I totally meant to do that. He reassured himself. But what am I gonna do now? He knew that the Krang would be waiting for him to come back up, but they wouldn't be able to see where he was in the water because it was nighttime, not to mention raining. He suddenly remembered his bloody knuckles as the salt water made them sting. Oh great and now I'm shark bait. Freakin fantastic. The red-banded turtle thought as he looked around at all the sunken junk along the bottom. Doesn't really help that we're probably fresh water turtles.

A flash of movement caught his eye and he went toward it cautiously. The movement was coming from a rather dark patch of water and he readied his fists. A hand grabbed his shoulder and he squawked in surprise, losing precious air. He immediately calmed when he came face to face with Mona Lisa. She grabbed his hand and guided him further inland. Raph wasn't quite sure where they were, but he figured they couldn't have gone far.

Mona Lisa led him under one of the piers and pointed at a manhole cover sized grate before giving it a tug. Raph joined in and it came loose. I thought these things were supposed to be bolted. He thought to himself before following Mona into the giant pipe, pulling the grate back into place after him. A little further up the lizard mutant was turning the wheel of an access hatch on the roof of the pipe. There was a lound clanking noise and she pushed it up and climbed out of the pipe, her turtle companion following slowly behind her.

"Whoa. What is this place?" It was huge.

"The pipes we just came through were part of the old sewer system. Decommissioned of course."

"Are we topside, or…"

"No we're still underground. This used to be an old testing facility. Not that anyone every used it."

Raphael's mind returned to the problem at hand and he growled. "They took them."

"What?"

"The Krang. They took the guys, Splinter, April, everyone. And I couldn't stop them." He growled in fury, mostly at himself for being so helpless.

Mona stared at him shock for a moment before recovering. No. "Then we're going after them."

"What, no! I'm going after them. You're staying here where it's safe!"

"I already lost one family to the Krang, Raphael! I'm not letting it happen again!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. Raph stared wide-eyed before putting his arm around her. She continued softly, "You're my family now, as are they. If I lost them or," her voice went soft, "you…" Her voice cracked and she put her head in her hands. The normally hot-headed turtle wasn't good with tears, so he wrapped her tightly in a hug, not realizing that was what she needed most.

Her sniffles died down and he pulled away slightly so that he could look her in the eyes. "You okay?" She nodded, a little embarrassed at letting him see her cry like that.

"Yeah."

"First things first. We have to find out where they've taken them."

"That's simple." She answered and he looked at her. "They're taking them to their most heavily guarded base on this planet: the Technodrome."

"But why stay on this planet? Why not just take them to Dimension X?"

"Because, as you said, they want me. They know that we'll attempt a rescue, so the Krang will make certain that they put them somewhere within my reach, hence, remaining on Earth."

Raph looked at his girlfriend, "You sure the Krang are that smart."

"Maybe not the Krang themselves, but Krang Prime? Definitely."

"So what's the plan?" Raphael asked. Mona smirked.

The turtle and his lizard-like partner had been planning for hours. Both were tired, since it was nearly morning, but they planned to get some sleep and start mission as soon as the sun set.

"Okay, I like the plan. It's bold, high chance of success, tactically sound and everything. But we just don't have enough equipment to pull it off."

Mona Lisa smiled, "Oh yes we do." She stood, and motioned for her boyfriend to follow. They went into one of the other rooms.

It was…furnished? Raph looked around. There was a large matress in one corner, with an old lamp beside it. On the other side of the room was a built-in metal lab table, well she did say it was a testing facility… Wait a minute. How could she know all this was here unless…

"This was my old home. More like a hideout actually. This is where I made most of my equipment."

The table was covered in tools and bits of metal, and…weapons? Raphael looked them all over carefully. She began fiddling with something or other and he picked up a thin little metal rod about three inches long about the width of a pencil. He brought it up to his face to examine it and she took notice, snatching it from his hand. "I wouldn't play with that if I were you. Unless of course you'd like a hole in your head." Raph stared. "It's a miniature laser weapon. I'll show you how to use it." She pointed it at a small block of wood on the end of the table and pressed the button in the middle. The laser burned a hole straight through it. "Turn this to lock it so that it doesn't go off on accident." Mona turned the bottom half. "Just turn it back the other way to unlock it."

"So this is what I'll use at the beginning of phase two?"

"Yes. That's how you'll get your brothers out of the cell. Here slip it into under your elbow pad. Make sure it doesn't fall out."

Raph lifted up some small metal objects with a questioning glance.

"Boomerangs." She replied and he gave her a look. "What? I can't help it if I get bored."

The red-banded turtle continued poking about until he found something that intrigued him. Guns. Two small white guns. Made out of some kind of special alloy that looked almost like the one the Newtralizer used. His green eyes turned towards her expectantly.

"They're my weapon of choice. I mean twin swords are great and all, but plasma rifles are so much more effective. Especially when it comes to the Krang." When her boyfriend stared at her in surprise she shrugged. "What did you think the holsters on my belt were for, Shell-for-brains?" He huffed, but didn't say anything. "You're being awfully quiet."

"Just trying to take it all in. My family…gone, captured by the Krang. This plan, taking out the Technodrome, it's too much at a time. I feel like my minds gonna explode."

"Proabably will." All she got was a dry stare. She put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry Raph. We'll get them back."

"I know." The red-banded turtle bent down, pressing their beaks together. "We'll get them out and save the world. Together."

"Always." She replied as they held hands.

"No one messes with our family." Neon green met earthy brown and their gazes locked with a silent nod of agreement.
