Chapter 4 : Metalhead

Me and April decided to do some research on the Kraang at the turtles lair. When we get there Donnie is messing with a Kraang droid. Me and April sit next to each other and I get to work on my laptop.

Donnie pick something up from the droid and asks me, "Do you even know what this is?"

I look away from my computer and take a look at it saying, "No."

"Neither do I! But I can't wait to find out!" He replies fan-boying about the new tech.

I continue to search through some articles when Donnie says something about getting goosebumps and then asks, "You wanna feel? Eh."

I look glance at his forearm and say pass before heading back to my research. I desperately wanted to find some information or at least a Kraang sitting. Me and April miss our dad so much and we just want to find him.

I find and Article and it has a video attached to it. I click on the video and see a Kraang droid. "Hey guys come check this out."

After Leo and Raph get done playing their game they walk over and see what I have to show them. April scoots closer to watch and listen. "I set up a message bored to collect unusual sightings around New York. People send in pics or videos. I also get somethings that might help us track the Kraang and find our dad. Like this video of a gas explosion."

I click on the video and show them the Kraang droid and Leo says, "We'll check it out tonight."

"Why not now?" April asks.

I shut my computer as Leo replies, "It's daylight. We can't let anyone see us."

April grabs my arm pulling me up to my feet saying, "Well we can."

We head towards the exit and Leo stops us saying, "Guys, listen. It could be dangerous."

April with a determined face replies, "You wanna know what else is dangerous? Standing between us and our father."

She crosses her arms and Leo puts his hands up and moves aside saying okay. We head up to the surface and head over to our aunts apartment to put our laptops up. I grab my phone and put it in my pocket just in case. After that we head over to where the Kraang were seen in the video. Me and April hide behind the dumpster as a Kraang droid walks by.

We hide behind a crate as the Kraang droid goes to a pin pad on the wall. "Okay, Kraang creep. Lead the way."

As the door to the warehouse opens me and April make a run for the door following it inside. Once we're inside we hide behind a bunch of crates. "Is that which is known as the unstable mutagen ready to for use in the experiment that the Kraang that is ready to begin?"

The other Kraang droid replies, "The unstable mutagen will be ready tomorrow for the unleashing in the water supply."

It walks away and I look to April gasping and then saying, "The water supply?"

"Oh no." She says quietly.

"Many infected humans will mutate this is being a good way to perfect the mutagen to the point of perfection." One of the droid says and then walks away.

April pushes on the crate some and it knock off the fire extinguisher. Before the Kraang droid turns around me and April move behind another crate.

"Think ninja. Think ninja." I whisper as I look around the room.

I see the window and a pipe laying right next to it. I whisper to April, "Okay, I'll cause a distraction with the window and you hit the Kraang droid."

She nods and I take off running towards the window making a noise unseen. I grab the pipe and throw it to April. The Kraang droid walks over to the window checking out the noise. April runs and hits the Kraang droid in the head only causing the droid's head to turn around. April lets out a gasp and I grab the pipe from her and hit the droid so hard it falls out the window.

We both let out a sigh of relief and I put down the pipe. We get out of the Kraang lair and head back into the alley way. "Hey guys it us."

We continue to walk down it and Leo, Mikey, and Raph jump down from the roof top. "Guys, we were just looking for you."

We all hear something falling so we look around to see nothing. Moments later something falls into the dumpster making a giant clanging noise. The dumpster falls over and a tiny robotic turtle walks out.

"It's still stealthier to the real Donatello." Raph says to Leo.

I was a little confused. Was Donnie controlling the little robotic turtle. "Okay, what the heck is that?" April asks the three turtles.

"It's Donnie's latest invention, Metalhead." Leo replies.

The little turtles mouth opens and Donnie's voice comes out of the speacker, "Sorry Star, April, I'm still working out the controls."

"Oops." The mouth closes. "The megaphone button got stuck."

"Guys, we gotta do something. The Kraang are going to poison the cities water supply with mutagen." I tell the turtles.

"The whole city will become a disaster zone." Leo says.

"They'll be mutant everywhere."

Mikey says, "Wow, think of all the friends we can make."

We all look at Mikey and give him an 'are you serious look'. "Let's go." Leo says as he Mikey and Raph take off running towards the warehouse.

Donnie goes to follow them but Leo stops him and says, "Donnie I need you to hang back, Metalhead is just to clumsy and will get in our way."

"Clumsy?" He asks as he makes the turtles arms swing up and in the process knocking over a trash can. "I did that on purpose to emphasize my point."

"You're not coming Donnie." Leo says before running to the warehouse.

I feel bad for Donnie. He just wants to help with his new invention. I put my hand on the robots shoulder and the robot looks at me and then down to the ground. We head up to the roof top to wait for the guys. Me and Donnie sit on the ledge while April sits on near the cable antenna, on her phone.

As we're looking at the warehouse I can hear the turtles head turn and zoom in. I snap my head in the turtles direction and it turns its head quickly, looking at the warehouse.

I hear it turn again and Donnie asks, "So, you like heavy metal."

I let out a small giggle at his attempt at a funny joke. It was so unoriginal, but it was funny that he a tried.

We watch as lights and a shooting noise come out of the warehouse and the turtle looks at me again. I hear Donnie say, "Look at her, she's so beautiful. On this monitor she can't even tell that I'm staring."

I look over at the turtle, trying to hide the blush on my cheeks and April says, "You do know that's not muted right?"

He turns and says, "Oh, ha ha ha. Of course I know that. If it was muted then you two couldn't hear me joking."

The turtles mouth opens and all I hear is screeching. "That's the megaphone."

"I know." He turns off the megaphone and asks, "How do you think the fight is going?"

A blast comes out of the building an knocks me down. Good thing it didn't hit me.

"AHHH! They're everywhere!" The three of us hear Mikey yell.

"Not great." I reply, looking back at the warehouse. A few moments later Donnie joins the fight, leaving me and April alone on the roof top.

Does Donnie really feel that way about me? Was he really joking about thinking I was pretty? Does he think I'm ugly?

Whatever, who cares what he thinks. I know I'm pretty and that's all that matters. There's a giant explosion and all four of the turtles come running out of the warehouse. I'm glad Donnie actually did some fighting instead of leaving it to his robot.

After saying good bye to the turtles me and April head home to an empty apartment. I change into my pajamas and head to bed. So not wanting to go to school tomorrow.
