"Party Time Guardian Style"
After getting the text from Jon telling them to go ahead and come on in since the turtles set the alarm off, Akira, Danny and Kai got their weapons ready and grabbed onto Danny; who photoported them behind the Kraang.
He quickly ported them again and this time, they luckily landed away from them and found an entrance by which to enter. As Nightwatcher couldn't teleport anywhere safely unless he had some idea of where he was going. The ash-brunet didn't want to end up in a wall or anything by accident since he could only travel short distances anyways.
A minute or two later, and they were in! Livewire used one of the acid pellets Jon made for them, to melt through the lock on the door, while Savage guarded him and Danny was the lookout.
Even if it was one of the smaller bases, it was still pretty big. Danny couldn't help but smirk and quietly comment to Kai about how the Kraang were compensating for something what with how huge they had to make everything; and they had a good snicker about it, while Aki rolled his eyes and hoped they'd find Jon soon.
They managed to make it a ways in, not finding anything but a few rooms full of mutagen, as the alarm blared. They had to be careful with Kraang running around everywhere. But they simply made sport of the aliens panicked state to better get the drop on them as they crept through the base.
"Ugh… why'd we have to come here on amateur night?" Livewire growled lightly as they ducked into a room when a bunch of Kraang droids raced by to handle the intruders. "Ah stop whining, Sparky. It's more fun this way." Savage chided, sounding in a good mood as he kept his attention on when the coast would be clear; his eyes becoming catlike slits.
"I'm sure they didn't mean to set off the alarm. From what Johnny said, they don't seem to be very experienced in fighting together, much less the Kraang." Nightwatcher defended good-naturedly.
Their leader wasn't too happy about his friend being in the clutches of the Kraang, or being absent from bashing them, and Danny knew that and felt bad for him. Akira gave a curt nod. It did make good sense.
"True, but either way, I think it's time to stop hiding and do some late night cleaning." The brunet stated in his usual stoic way; though Danny couldn't help catching the familiar hint of mischief and glint of something silvery, like the thread of a spiders web, glimmer for a second passed Livewire's face.
"Nightwatcher, would you do the honor?" At this, Danny couldn't help but perk right up from his somewhat bored mood. "Oh, it would be my pleasure." He replied while fetching a handful of ball bearings from one inside jacket pockets of his suit.
As the next wave of robots came running toward them, he popped out around the corner on one knee and sent the spheres rolling towards them. Some of the Kraang slipped and fell on them as the others tried to stop, but it was too late.
As soon as the first Kraangs foot hit the silvery sphere, the bearings began exploding! Robot bits went flying thanks to Jon's patented "Roller Bombs", and then Savage was next up to play.
He came charging out like a wild beast towards the panicking aliens, and began tearing them apart with either his bear hands, that were sharply clawed because of his symbiote, or with the use of his tekko-kagi: a pair of sturdy gloves with three long claws on each.
With the way the oranget sliced through and cut down both alien and droid that got in his way like a hellacious beast with his formidable strength, speed, and dexterity, it was easy to see how he earned the name Savage.
Surprisingly one of the easiest going people you could hang out with besides Danny. But when there was a reason for him to go wild, like if he needed some "anger management time" you'd best hope he was on your side…
As they destroyed each Kraang alien, the squealing copies violently burst into goo; making it look like someone was randomly vomiting up that bright pink Pepto-Bismol gunk.
Savage cleared the way, as the rest followed. Danny changed his weapons as he fought; switching between forming a bo staff out of light to put the smack down on their foes or morphing them into blades when he needed to go from smacking to slicing.
Akira was strolling coolly in-between them, with Kai in front, and Dan covering the rear. But all three knew Livewire had them surrounded securely with an unseen web of his koto strings. Only they'd trained with him long enough to notice the faintest of glints and sparks that appeared every now and then.
They had been hoping to get further into the base and see whether or not there was anyone to rescue besides Jon; who was apparently getting help from the turtles, so they could do it more safely BEFORE they went and slaughtered every irksome pink copy in the place.
But, one had to be able to adapt when things didn't go according to plan. And that was something Akira and his team were surprisingly good at. So while the turtles were busy trying to save Jon, April O'Neil and her father Kirby, the three Guardians in training kept themselves occupied with disposing of every pink creep in the base.
Akira set charges around the base as they went; set to go off when he chose to detonate them with an app on his phone. A rumble from above shook the base and caused the curious three to wonder what the heck those turtles were doing.
"Hope they're having fun." Akira said derisively as he made bite size Kraang chunks with his remarkably sharp wires. "Not as much fun as me!" Savage laughed as he ripped a bot in two, and then chased down the squealing pink prize inside to toss it in the air at Nightwatcher; who used it for bating practice with his staff and hit it back to Savage, who sliced it into several pieces with her blades.
"And he's outta there!" Danny comically cried triumphantly as he hit it back, before turning back to deflecting shots and beating bots; using the same baseball technique with the orbs of white light energy he generated in his hands.
By the time they got Jon's message saying she and the others had left the base, and had fought enough of them for Akira to have planted plenty of explosives in the absence of their boom happy friend Johnny, Nightwatcher photoported them the heck out of there in time to hear the Kraang prattling on about destroying the turtles.
None of them liked hearing that, however, the first to act had been Danny. He popped up right behind the one in the middle who had been doing the talking and knocked that creeps robotic head right off of his body; sending it flying clear across the other side of the wall.
"Nice one!" Savage cheered while gutting one of the pink puke balls. As the Kraang turned around and held up their weapons to fire, a glimmer flickered by and their weapons fell to the ground in several very useless pieces thanks to Livewire.
The robots exchanged looks as one said "This is what is known as an uh oh." as they saw the claw wielding assassin approaching them; his fist smacking against the open palm of his hand.
"That's right kiddies. Time for your prize!" Savage jeered giddily as he made quick work of smashing and trashing them, while Nightwatcher made sure none of them got away.
As they played, Akira went to investigate the area to try and see what the turtles had been up to. Had they gotten there a few moments earlier, they might've seen the mutated human now known as Snakeweed creeping off into the darkness.
"Right, well, you guys know what to do." Akira stated to his team before texting Johnny to find out where the heck she was. Jon was all done and could come back if they wanted him to.
Aki said to get his girly butt down there, and it wasn't long before said redhead showed up. While he waited, Aki contacted their sensei to report their mission status as per usual. If Haruhi or Karius weren't there or was busy with their own work, they typically spoke to an Utrom like Othar, who was in charge of that department.
After the few seconds it took for Jon to form his bow and quiver of arrows; which were stored within the suit, they went through the base to make sure all the Kraang, that the turtles hadn't let escape, were disposed of.
And while Savage and Nightwatcher had the pleasure of doing that, Livewire guarded Trickshot while he gathered up any data from their somewhat damaged systems that might be useful.
It would be handed over to their Utrom and Guardian bosses to look over, as usual. But for teenagers, and Kai, who were mutants and ended up attending an Utrom school, they did pretty good following protocol.
Even if Johnny usually made a copy to look through himself. One never knew when the higher ups would leave their soldiers out in the dark about certain things, so he and his band of quirky ninjas usually made copies of whatever data they scavenged just to make sure.
Once they were done, it was definitely pretty late. They changed back into their civilian clothes and headed for home. Akira lived in the building across from Johnny's, as they had been friends almost since the Murakami family moved to America, so they left together, while Dan and Kai left to go their own way.
Kai asked Danny if he wanted to crash over since his place was closer and his dad shouldn't be stopping by to visit any time soon. The ash-brunet tiredly and happily agreed; since he got along with Kai's little bro Martin anyways.
"Need to crash at my place, Aki-chan?" Jon asked; using the playfully teasing nickname he usually used when it was just the two of them or when the other was asking for it. They had long since grabbed their backpacks, and since they were back in their regular outfits, he could see the half glare his best friend shot his way.
"No, I'll be fine. My family's used to our weird lifestyle." Akira said as they came closer to their apartments. "You're the one who should be coming over, since your dad and brother don't know." Aki countered; figuring the other wouldn't want to risk waking up his own family.
"Nah, can't. My bro will flip out if I try to spend the night. He already gets on my case for staying out so late all the time." Jonathan sighed in exasperation. "Must be why he's called Casey, eh Jen-chan?" Aki played; smirking some when the other stuck his symbiote tongue out at the brunet like he had at Kai earlier that night.
Since they'd been friends since childhood, they were the best of friends, and had their own comical way of teasing one another that was just something funny they'd done since they were kids, while the other pretended to be annoyed.
Johnny landed on top of the roof to his home and stretched tiredly. "Damn I'm beat…" He yawned; wanting nothing more than to sleep for a week. "Yeah right… you'll be up all night fiddling with something." Aki said with a roll of his eyes; though he was clearly amused.
"Meh, true. So, how 'bout breakfast this weekend? I'll make wa-aaaaaaaaaaaffles!" The redhead said in a tempting singsong fashion that made his stoic friend give a snort of laughter.
"You keep eating like that and you'll get fat." Johnny mock gaped and then gasped in an overdramatic way. "Pfft! Screw you! I'll give 'em to Danny if you're gonna be such a skinny beeotch about it." The fact that Jon's outward appearance made his seem like someone who didn't talk like that made it all the funnier.
By this point, the brunet was having a hard time not laughing at his goofy, spirited friend. "Fine, fine." Aki gave an airy wave of his hand like he was swatting away an insect. "If it'll shut you up, I'll come over and partake in your baka waffles."
"Knew you loved me!" Johnny joked as he gave a harmlessly flirty wink and stuck his tongue out as he hopped down to his fire escape. Jon could hear his friend laughing his butt off as he climbed into his room through the window.
Jon and his friends behaved weirdly, he knew, but he seriously didn't give a damn. They were humans who were also mutants due to lord knows how many thousands of years of Kraangs pissing in the gene pool.
But even before he knew that, he didn't give a rats ass what anyone thought. It was just part of his charm he supposed humorously, as he set down his book bag on the floor beside the small work desk in his room. He'd have to remember to give Danny what he found while scavenging tomorrow.
Although he was physically beat, Johnny's mind was reeling with things to do, so he pulled out a mishmash looking laptop he'd pimped out with stuff he scavenged from junkyards, and started working on designs for things he wanted to make once he had what he needed, while listening to music on it.
He didn't end up getting any sleep until things got blurry and he figured it was time to turn in for the night, or morning, whatever. Johnny was the smart one of the group; although they were all intelligent in their own ways, he was more the tech gal and dealt in handling all that job entailed.
Which was sometimes a lot more than one might think. Though he would try to show the others a few things in case something happened and he couldn't help out on a mission. Thankfully Aki was pretty good at listening.
Danny mostly paid attention if it was something he thought was interesting or reminded him of something from a comic or anime. Kai loved all the destructive little goodies the redhead made.
But he liked to pretend not to listen just to mess with the redet when it was about something that wasn't a weapon Kai could use. Though the beastly orange-blonde didn't want to accidentally blow his hand off or something regardless of what it was, and actually did pay attention.
The redhead finished getting ready for bed in the bathroom down the hall, and then yawned and snuggled up under the covers. He couldn't help thinking over all the crazy stuff that had happened that night, like meeting four mutant ninja turtles.
They seemed like they were a pretty cool bunch. And he hoped to get to know them better, and also to figure out the mystery of where and why they had taken April's dad. Were they just after him?
Or was there more to it than that? As the boom happy boffin closed his eyes and started drifting off, he couldn't help smiling some at the feeling that life was about to get a whole lot more interesting…
