Angelxoxo8: Hi! I got bored so…
Mikey: Can I spin the Disclaimer Wheel? Please?
Angel: Mikey, you're allowed to spin it whenever you want!
Mikey: AWE YEAH BOI! *spins the wheel* Splinter!
Angel: I think Splinter is the only one here who hasn't said it yet since other characters haven't appeared yet…
Mikey: YOU haven't said it. Your name is not on the wheel, that's not fair
Everyone: *mutters in agreement*
Angel: FINE! I'll add my name to it. Gosh! Anyway, Splinter…
Splinter: Angel does not own anything except her OCs.
Metalhead
I was watching the news, since nothing interesting was on. I stared in boredom. I heard someone coming from the dojo. I paid no attention to the person as I stared at the tv. I hear someone clear their throat. I turned around to see Leo standing behind me. "Space Heroes isn't on?" he asks me. I shake my head no. "Um…A-Amy, can you come with me for a minute? I want to show you something," he says to me. I raise an eyebrow. "Ok…" I say hesitantly. I stand up. "Wait," he says, stopping me. He takes off his mask and holds it out to me.
"Cover your eyes with this," he replies. I blink slowly. I slowly reach out my hand and take the blue mask. It feels soft…
I turn the mask around and tie the mask around my eyes, so I couldn't see through the eye holes. "Can you see anything?" Leo asks me. I feel air in front of my face, meaning he waved his hand in front of me. I shook my head. "Leo, what's this all about?" I ask him. He takes my hand and starts to walk me over somewhere. "It's a surprise," he answers. I smile. "A surprise? For me? I love surprises!" I say excitedly. Leo chuckles. "Then you're definitely going to love this one," he replies.
Soon, we stop moving. I hear Leo open a door. He leads me inside somewhere and closes the door. "Can I take the mask off now?" I ask impatiently. "Not yet," Leo replies. He lets go of my hand and starts to move stuff around. I frown. I like the feeling of his hand…it makes me feel…something, I just don't what. Leo…his hands, his smile, his dedication to training. I gasp at the realization…
I like Leo. I enjoy his company more than the others. I shook my head clear of those thoughts. It's too soon to be feeling something for him, right? When I was in his room, he had leaned towards me, and he had a dreamy expression. And he was blushing that time. Honestly, he looked adorable when he blushes. Well, he looks adorable all the time, but when he smiles at me and holds my hand…my heart pounds out of my chest. But that leads me to wonder…does he feel the same about me?
"Okay, you can take the mask off now," Leo says to me. I untie the mask and gasp. My room…it's beautiful!
There's a pink canopy bed with purple sheets and Space Heroes plushies. The walls were rainbow-colored and the floors were carpeted. I see a piano in a corner. There's a mat for training and there's Space Heroes dvds!
"Oh my gosh…it's it's indescribable! Thank you Leo!" I explain to Leo, hugging him. I give him a kiss on the cheek. Leo laughs awkwardly. "You're welcome…" he says nervously. "I gotta ask though, what made you decide to do this? And how did you get this stuff?" I ask curiously. "Um…well, most of this stuff I got April to get for me, and other things I got from my room…" he explains. "What? Don't you want your Space Heroes stuff back?" I ask him.
He shook his head. "You deserve it, Amy. Since you're a part of the family, you might as well have your own room decorated," Leo answered. He's got a point…I haven't had time to decorate my room…
I smile at him and he smiles back.
Yeah, I've definitely got a crush on Leo…
We were fighting the Kraang, nothing new. "Keep moving. Don't let them surround you. Failure is not an option!" Leo orders. I ran to a wall, ran up to the middle of the wall, and push myself back, doing a backflip. A few Kraangdroids looked at me, awed before I sliced them in half. "Technically, failure is always an option," Donnie replies. "You know what else is an option? Slapping you!" Raph answers. "Would you focus on the mission?!" I yelled before slicing through another Kraangdroid.
"Mikey! On the right!"
"Your right, or my right?"
Meanwhile, Donnie charged at a Kraangdroid, hitting it in the head. However, it had no effect… "Are you kidding me? I hate this thing!" Donnie exclaims. I roll my eyes, and kick a Kraangdroid to the wall. The brain popped out and ran away. "Nice work. When we're done here, there's a marching band that needs a majorette," Raph replies.
"Kraang, the present is being a positive time to be the testing of the energy cannon," A kraang said. Energy cannon? That doesn't sound so well to me…especially if it's from the Kraang. A few Kraang appear with a giant machine, which must be the energy cannon! "Everyone, stand your ground!" Leo orders. I position my katana in front of me. The cannon starts to fire. "On second thought, run!" Leo yells. I duck behind a crate. Donnie's staff wasn't so lucky from the energy ball…
"Oh, come on!" Donnie yells, frustrated. "Dude, your weapon just exploded!" Mikey says, pointing at the staff. I smack my forehead. "How am I supposed to fight advanced alien technology with a stupid stick?!" Donnie exclaims.
The energy cannon is getting ready to fire again, and we were cornered. Leo gestures to my shuriken. I pull one out and Leo does the same. We throw our shuriken at the same time, hitting a pole, and then hitting something on the laser cannon. The cannon breaks down, crushing the Kraangdroids in the process. "Dumb luck," Raph replies. We exit the building through a window. "Wasn't luck, my friend," Leo answers. "And dumb had nothing to do with it," I finish.
Donnie is the last one out the window, and he seemed to be holding something. Why do I feel like this isn't going to be a good thing? "Hey. Give me a hand with this," Donnie says to us. I raise an eyebrow. "A hand with what?" I ask hesitantly. He looks at what he's holding at and then looks back at me. Aw man…
"We're carrying this thing because why?" Raph asks, who was helping Donnie. They were holding parts of a Kraangdroid. A Kraangdroid! "Don't you want to understand how these things work?" Donnie asks him. "Donnie, if I wanted to understand how a Kraang works, I would have gotten a chip or something, not half an alien robot body," I answer. "I know how they work. You hit them until till the brainy toy surprise pops out," Raph says sarcastically. "That's your problem, Raph. You don't think things through," Donnie says, dropping the robot body into the manhole. It didn't quite fit though…
"Was that supposed to fit?" Raph asks. Donnie kicks the head of the robot. Nothing happened though. "I'll handle this," I reply. I stretched my arms and my legs. I cracked my head with my hands. "What's the point of this?" Raph asks me. I ignore him. I did a somersault and kicked the body of the droid, making it fit through the manhole. I heard a clink, which meant it didn't land in the water. I wiped some sweat off my face. The turtles stare at me.
"What?"
I was in the lair, listening to music and eating some apple slices. Mikey was asleep on the tire swing. Donnie was messing with his little 'toy.' "This technology is light-years ahead of anything I've ever seen! Do you know what this is?" he asks April, who was sitting behind him. She didn't even look at what was in Donnie's hand and said, "No." But Donnie wasn't paying attention.
"Neither do I! But I can't wait to find out!" Donnie says excitedly. I roll my eyes and take another bite of my apple. Splinter walks in with a replica of Donnie's staff in his hand (or is it paw?). "Look, Spike. Donnie got another stick to break," Raph says to his turtle, Spike, and Raph was feeding Spike a leaf. I had the pleasure of meeting Spike earlier. I could tell he liked me immediately when I fed him a leaf.
"With all due respect, Sensei, I can't keep fighting alien technology with a 6-foot staff. I was hoping to upgrade my weapon," Donnie explains. "Mmm. A 7-foot staff. Interesting," Splinter says. I giggle. Donnie glares at me. I stick my tongue out in return. "No, I meant using modern technology," Donnie says.
"Aah, a solar-powered staff," Splinter replies. I giggle much louder this time. Donnie turns to me again in annoyance. "Quit doing that," Donnie snaps. "No!" I yell in a funny voice. Everyone else laughs, except Donnie. "I'm serious," he says to Sensei and I. "I know. And yes, you may upgrade your weapon," Splinter answers. Seriously? "That's totally unfair! You can't just- wait, did you say yes?"
"Ninjas have improved their arsenal for centuries. We are masters of adaptation," Splinter says. "That is great! Cause with this technology, I will be invincible! What should I make? Electric sais? Multi-shot shuriken? Plasma swords! I just gave myself goosebumps! Wanna feel? Eh?" Donnie asks excitedly to April, who still didn't glance at him. She must be doing something really important on her laptop. "Pass," April answers without looking. I snort with a laugh.
"Donnie, it's not the weapon that makes you superior to the Kraang," I say to him. "Easy for you to say. You have a katana blade!" Donnie retorts to me. I narrow my eyes at him. "Amelia has a point. Remember, technology is a means, not an end. It is you who must prevail in battle, not your weapon. Combat is not a video game," Splinter says. Donnie took it the wrong way, though. "That's it! I'll turn combat into a video game! Thanks, Sensei and Amy!" Donnie replies, running off to his lab. I slap my forehead.
"Hey, guys! Check out this post I got!" April says to Raph and Leo, who were playing a video game. "Hang on, April, I just have to destroy Lame-onardo," Raph answers. I frown at the nickname. I sit next to April on her right side. Raph and Leo sat down, but not before Leo hits Raph in the head. "So what's up?" Leo asks April. "I set up a message board to collect unusual sightings around New York. People send in pics, videos, I also get some stuff that may help us track the Kraang and find my Dad and Amy's mom," April explains, pulling something up on her computer.
"Like this video of a gas explosion," April says, pressing play on the video she pulled up. There was gray smoke everywhere. A Kraangdroid appears a few seconds later, staring at something. "A Kraangdroid," I say. "Where?" I heard Mikey ask in a fearful voice before falling into the water. I roll my eyes. "We'll check it out tonight," Leo says from behind me. "Why not now?" April asks. "It's daytime, they can't be seen by anyone, remember?" I tell her. "We can," April replies to me, before grabbing my arm and pulling me to the exit. "Where are we going?!" I ask her. "To spy on the Kraang," she answers. Leo stops us before we can leave.
"April, think about this. It could be dangerous," Leo explains. "You know what is dangerous? Standing between us and our parents," April tells him in a stubborn tone. Leo sighs. "Fine, but Amy has to stay here. She has training with Master Splinter," Leo says before grabbing my hand and pulling me to him. I blush at the contact. April notices and smirks at me. 'We'll talk about this another time,' she mouths to me before leaving. I sigh in relief.
I don't think I'll tell the others about my crush on Leo…yet. Donnie would definitely understand, but Mikey and Raph, I'm not too sure…
"What do you make of this, Dr. Mindstrong?"
"This is very disturbing, Captain, sensors indicate…everything is fine."
"Great galaxies!"
"Captain, what's happening?"
"Dr. Mindstrong's been taken over by the Cortexicons!"
I had finished my solo training with Sensei. Leo and I were watching a great episode of Space Heroes. I'm so glad I found a fellow fan of this show. It's awesome!
"What'll we do? What'll we do?"
"There's only one thing we can do. Dr. Mindstrong…must be destroyed."
I gasp in surprise. Nooo! I watch as the Doctor was being destroyed. But I couldn't help saying-
"What a hero," Leo and I say. We look at each other and smile. There goes my heart again…
I felt the ground shake. I thought it was an earthquake, but that was impossible. The ground wouldn't shake, stop, and then shake again. So if it's not an earthquake, what is it? My question was soon answered as I turn my head towards the noise. And there stood a robot turtle? "Take me to your leader," the robot orders from a megaphone inside its mouth. "Leo, it's for you," Mikey replies. Leo and I walk up to the robot…turtle machine. "What is this thing?" Leo asks. "I don't know, but I'm guessing that this…thing is for Donnie to fight with," I answer. Donnie comes out of his lab. "Lady, gentlemen, and Raphael, this is the future of ninjitsu," Donnie explains. "I always thought the future of ninjitsu would be taller," Raph retorts. Yeah, he's not that tall, barely even half Donnie's height.
"Aw, he's so cute," Mikey replies, tickling the robot. "Mikey, I wouldn't do that…" I say before the robot attacks him. I pinched my nose and shook my head. "Told ya," I mutter under my breath. "He doesn't like being tickled," Donnie explains. Gee, what gave that away? "Isn't it cool? I reverse-engineered it from the Kraangdroid," Donnie says. Ah, so that's what he used it for. That make sense…unless making a robot from a robot actually sounded insane, which it does! "Okay, why?" I ask. "So the drone can handle the dangerous stuff while we stay out of harm's way," Donnie replies to me.
"Okay, we've fought an army of ninjas, mutants, and alien robots. Pretty sure we're in harm's way by now," I retort. Donnie rolls his eyes. "With this, we'll be out of harm's way. Better?" he asks me. I give him a thumbs up. "Oh I get it. This is for wimps too afraid to fight," Raph says. "No it's for wimps too smart to fight. I mean-" Donnie was interrupted by Mikey. "Ooh! Let's call him Metalhead!" Mikey says. Metalhead? "Why, you ask? Cause it's got a head and it's made of-" I interrupt him with, "We get it."
"I don't need a toaster to fight my battles for me," Raph retorts. "This is ridiculous, Donnie. It takes the whole point out of being a ninja," Leo replies. I walk up to Metalhead. "Donnie, your inventions are impressive, but I really don't think a robot should be in battle," I say to him, patting the robot's head. "What about the Kraang?" Mikey asks me. "That's different, they're against us. And the Kraang are alien robots," I explain. "It's exactly the point of being a ninja, we adapt," Donnie says. "Now watch this. Attack the drone. Give it all you've got," Donnie says to us, gesturing his hand.
"Eh…I don't know about this Donnie," I say to him hesitantly. "You sure? I don't want to break your toy," Leo replies. "I do!" Raph says, pulling out his sais. I shrug. I pull out my katana blade. Raph attacks first, but ultimately loses. Leo, Mikey, and I jump at the drone, slashing our weapons over and over. Metalhead grabs Mikey's nunchuck and Leo's sword. He throws them at Raph. And then there was one… I gulp. "Come on, Amy. Hit it with your best shot," Donnie says in a bragging tone. I narrow my eyes. I tightly grip my katana. I circle around the robot. I take a deep breath and swing at the robot with my katana.
The robot grabs my arm and throws me into the pool. No, no, no! I fling my arms over and over underwater. Fear is in my eyes. Memories flash in my mind, and I can hear my parents scream my name over and over. I can't be underwater, i can't! I frantically look around until I see the surface. I quickly float back up. I gasp for air. "Amy! Are you alright?" Leo asks me. The others weren't paying attention, since Donnie was bragging over his victory. I cough up water. "I'm fine," I answer. Leo pulls me out of the water. I feel like having a heart attack. "Oh my god. Oh my god," I repeat, not paying Leo any attention.
"Amy! AMY!" Leo shouts at me. I blink slowly. The others turned to me. "You okay, dudette?" Mikey asks me. I tried to speak, but nothing came out of my mouth. I frantically look around, heavily breathing. I don't care what they were trying to say, I just couldn't look at them. "Amy…" I hear a soft voice. I turn to Leo. He puts his hands on my shoulder. "Breathe," Leo says gently. I took a deep breath and let it out. "Better?" Leo asks. I nodded slowly. "What was that all about?" Raph asks. I look down to the floor. "I'll handle this," Leo says to his brothers. They turn back to Metalhead.
"So…you're afraid of water?" I hear. I look up at him. I sighed. "Yeah…I usually don't tell people I'm afraid of water," I tell him. "How can you be afraid of water?" he asks me. I shuffle my feet. "When I was 8, I fell in the pool at my parents' house. I didn't know how to swim, and I still don't know how. I almost drowned that day. My parents were freaked out. And so was I. I haven't been in a pool since then," I explain. I squeeze the water out of my hair.
Leo gives me a sad look. "I'm afraid of letting my team down," he says. I put my hand on his shoulder. "Leo, I just want to let you know you'll never let me down," I say gently. He turns red and smiles. "Thanks," he replies.
We were looking at each other. Leo's eyes are very distracting…
"Leo! Amy! Sensei says I can take Metalhead out for a test!" Donnie yells. That makes me stop and turn to him. "A metal turtle robot, on the surface? I know you're going to take it into combat. But a metal robot isn't that very silent…"I say to Donnie. He waves me off.
"Relax, it'll be cool."
I run across the rooftops, keeping up with the others. I stop running and place myself on the edge of the building. I hear a crash behind me. I turn around to see Metalhead (which was being controlled by Donnie back at home) running behind us. The robot stops in front of us. I smack my forehead. "Should we double back? I think there's a car alarm he didn't set off," Leo retorts. I narrow my eyes at him. "It'll be cool, huh?" I ask Metalhead. Oh god, I'm talking to a robot…
"I kinda like it. It goes nicely with all the sirens and cries for help," Raph answers. "Oh come on. You guys are just jealous because you're out there in the cold, and I'm here eating Mikey's last slice of pizza," Donnie replies. I roll my eyes. Oh yeah, I'm jealous on the inside…not! "Hey!" Mikey yells. "Hello?" a familiar voice asks from below. "Hey, guys, quiet. Somebody's coming," Leo orders. "Guys, it's me," the voice replies. April? I look down to see April near a dumpster, calling for us. I jump down to her.
"Hey, April," I say waving. She smiles at me. "Hi, Amy. Guys, I was just looking for you!" April says to the others, who had already jumped down next to me. Wait, where's Don-I mean Metalhead? I hear a whistle, which was coming closer and closer to me. Leo pulls me to him. Something falls into the dumpster. April yells a surprised shriek. I blink slowly. "Thanks, Leo," I reply. He nods. "Don't worry, i didn't tell the others about your fear," Leo replies. i smile at him. I walk over to the dumpster and open it to find Metalhead inside. I blow my bangs out of my face.
"Really?" I ask. "Heh, sorry," the robot replies. I pick the robot up and place him next to April. "Still, it's stealthier than the real Donatello," Raph says. I punch him in the arm. "OW!" he yells. "What the heck is that?" April asks. "It's Donnie's latest 'brilliant' invention, Metalhead," Leo answers. "Catchy name, huh? My idea," Mikey replies. I snort. "Oh sorry, April. I'm still getting used to the controls," Donnie/Metalhead replies VERY loudly. I cover my ears and my knees fall to the floor. "Whoops. Megaphone button got stuck," Metalhead says at his normal volume. I uncover my ears. I think I might have gone deaf for a second…
"Guys, we gotta do something. The Kraang are going to poison the city's water supply with mutagen!" April explains in a worried tone. Oh no! "The whole city will become a disaster area!" Leo says. "There'll be mutants everywhere!" I reply. I'm not going to let the Kraang mutate the whole city! "Wow, think of all the friends we can make!" Mikey says. We all look at him weirdly, even Metalhead. That's not the point of this, Mikey…
"Excuse me for being a "glass-full-half" kind of guy," Mikey replies. "Let's go!" Leo orders. "Yeah! The Kraang don't stand a chance!" Metalhead replies before Leo stops him. "What?" Metalhead asks. Uh-oh…
"Donnie, I need you to hang back. Metalhead is just too clumsy," Leo explains. "Clumsy?" Metalhead asks, knocking into some trash cans with his arms. "I did that on purpose to emphasize my point," Metalhead replies. Sure you did... "You're not coming, Donnie," Leo says before turning to leave. I walk up to Metalhead and pat the robot. "At least you'll get some alone time with April," I whisper before running off to catch up with the others.
We are now in the warehouse where the Kraang are doing something. "Ready to bash some bots?" Raph asks. "Destroy some droids?" Leo says next. "Attack some aliens?" I reply. "Clean some closets?" Mikey asks. We all look at him. Clean some closets? Where did that come from? "I mean, crush some Kraang?" Mikey replies sheepishly. I roll my eyes. Nice save… We attack. I swing my katana back and forth. Then they bring out some laser cannons…Mikey screams. "They're everywhere!"
I duck under a crate. The Kraang fire their cannons. I motion to the turtles. "Leo, we're running out of room," Raph says after they duck behind the crates next to me. We're cornered! "We're trapped!" Leo says. "Gee, what gave it away? The laser cannons?" I ask. "Or maybe they're the ones who are trapped. Hmm?" Mikey says. He puts his head up above the crate. A Kraang almost shot near his head in response. Mikey ducks back behind the crate. "No, it's us," he replies.
I hear a crash. I turn to see Metalhead! He crushed a Kraang with his feet. Wait, what's wrong with his arms? They're all lopsided. "What are you doing? What is wrong with your arms?" Leo asks, as if he read my thoughts. "My hands aren't on my hips?" Metalhead asks. "No!" Leo and I answer. Raph and I smack our foreheads. "Sorry. Forgot to press B," Metalhead replies before fixing his arms, putting them on his hips in a heroic pose. "Now it's my turn! Eat hot laser!" Metalhead says before firing lasers at the Kraang. Go Metalhead! I mean Donnie.
"You want some of this? Whoo! Yeah, baby!"
Metalhead was killing it out there. I guess I was wrong about Donnie's invention!
"Hey, Raph, how does it feel to be shown up by a toaster?" Metalhead asks. Raph frowns in response. I giggled.
"Burn!"
"Yeah, I thought that was a good one."
"No! Burn!"
"Oh. Right."
Metalhead (or is it Donnie?) used a fire gun to aim at the Kraang. He even has fire? Metalhead turns, fire coming towards us. I scream, ducking behind the crate. "Hey! You almost burned my hair to a crisp!" I yell to Metalhead. "Sorry, Amy," Metalhead replies. "Donnie, watch the friendly fire," Leo says.
"Here's some for you! And some for you! And, oh, yeah, I saved a little for you too! How'd that taste?"
I rolled my eyes. Ok, that's enough bragging Donnie…A Kraang hits him in the head, making Donnie lose the signal. A brain pops out of the robot and crawls to Metalhead. The brain crawls to Metalhead's head and places itself on top. The brain gets shocked, but then Metalhead's eyes turn pink. Uh-oh… "Guys, if you can hear me, you'd better run!" Metalhead says. "The ones that which are called turtles and female will now be called turtles and female that are destroyed!" Metalhead says in a Kraang voice. "Whew! I was really afraid at the beginning of that sentence, but then I just sort lost interest towards-" Metalhead interrupts Mikey by firing lasers near him.
"Ok. I'm afraid again!"
We're back at the lair now. Donnie came over and defeated Metalhead, which ended up with Metalhead being destroyed. I was beating Leo's high score in pinball. I started sweating. "Come on, come on." I repeated as the ball went around the area, getting me some bonus points. I got to a million. "YES! I am the pinball champion!" I yell excitedly. "No way! Move over, I'm going to beat that score!" Raph says, moving me out of the way. I walk over to Donnie and Sensei. "Responsible for destroying the mutagen. Responsible for saving the people in this city. Responsible for defeating advanced technology using only ingenuity, bravery, and a stick." Splinter says to Donnie.
"I told you, it's not the weapon that makes you stronger. It's what's in here," I say to Donnie, pointing at his heart. He smiles at Sensei and I. "Maybe you two are right," Donnie replies. "I know," I answer. "I guess, with proper training, there's nothing better than a wooden stick…except a laser guided, missile-launching wooden stick!" Donnie says, slamming his staff that had a missile attached to it. It started to shake. My eyes widen. "It's not supposed to do that…Run!" Donnie yells at me and the others. I scream and start running.
He'll never learn…
Angel: I'm done! I'm so excited! My friend is posting a new chapter in her Q&A fic, which I'm in! YAAAY! Not until tomorrow, though. Boo…
Splinter: Farewell, my pupils.
