Ch 7 On with the Mission.
The sun was finally setting and the team was ready to go. Splinter stood by the turnstiles, a look of worry on his face as he gave Karai a hug and wished his sons and their friends 'good luck'. After a final wave, everyone climbed into the Shell Raiser and took off out of the sewers and toward the Auman factory.
"Okay, everyone knows what to do right?" Leo asked as he sat behind the wheel and sped toward the factory. They all nodded.
All but Mikey that is. "Uh, maybe you should go over it one more time Leo?" Mikey asked as he swiveled in his designated seat by the navigation station with a confused look.
Leo huffed as he looked at his brother in the rearview mirror. "Last time Mikey," He said through gritted teeth. "You, April and Gen will be team one and keep watch outside the factory for any of Shredder's goons while the rest of us sneak into the factory and look for the scepter. You see any suspicious activity; call Raph or me on our t-phones to alert us, okay?"
Mikey nodded and gave Leo a thumb's up. "You got it brah." He said and went back to swiveling in his chair.
Leo shook his head and looked back at April in the rearview mirror. The red haired teen was laughing silently and shaking her head slightly. She saw him look at her and she gave him a slight nod. 'At least someone knows what to do.' Leo thought to himself.
Upon arriving at the factory, Donnie pulled out his tracker and nodded in satisfaction. "There's definitely a Kraang device inside the factory." He told everyone.
Leo pulled the Shell Raiser into an alleyway and as instructed, Mikey, April and Gen stayed by the Shell Raiser to keep lookout while the rest of them stealthy made their way into the factory via the rooftop.
The three turtles, two humans and Usagi made their way into the factory and jumped down from a skylight onto a walkway. Donnie held his tracker and moved it around while his eyes roamed over the factory as the signal became louder and faster.
"The signal is showing the Kraang device is somewhere down there." Donnie said pointing to a corner at the bottom of the factory.
The six warriors jumped down from one walkway to another till they reached the bottom floor. Upon landing, Donnie again moved the tracker around and slowly walked toward a brown door with a square frosted glass in the middle. Just under the glass was a gold label that said 'Main Office'. The tracker's signal beeped louder and faster as Donnie approached the door. He turned to the group with a satisfied smile and gave them a thumb's up along with a nod. He turned back to the door and cautiously opened it while the other's looked over his shoulder.
The room was decorated with typical office furniture. In the middle of the large room was a weathered worn brown desk with a small black ripped up leather chair behind it, in the corner was a three drawer filing cabinet and next to that was a long table with a long golden rod on a purple cushion encased in a glass case laying on it. On the top of the rod was a large five pointed star and embedded in the tips of the star were crystals that looked exactly like the Kraang power crystals.
Usagi walked past Donnie and reached his hand out to touch it. "The Daimyo's scepter," He breathed in awe, his voice barely a whisper. As he went to place his hand on the glass case, a sudden shock radiated through his hand and made its way up the rabbit's arm causing the samurai to pull his hand back quickly and gasp loudly in pain. Everyone saw sparks flying around the case as Usagi touched it.
"Usagi?" Leo hurried over to him and looked at his paw. It had been burned by an electrical force surrounding the glass. Leo turned to Donnie with a questioning look.
Donnie picked up a small stone off the floor and tossed it toward the scepter. Once again sparks flew after the stone hit the glass. "It's some sort of force field."
"That's right turtle cub." A low growling voice from behind caused the group to whirl around.
"Tiger claw!" Leo exclaimed.

Meanwhile, outside in the alley, a very exasperated April was leaning against the Shell Raiser while inside, Mikey was pushing buttons randomly while Gen was sitting in Don's seat with his arms across his chest and scowling.
"Why do we have to wait out here?" Gen complained loudly for what felt to April like the thousandth time. April rolled her eyes at his constant whining. She was getting extremely annoyed with the large rhino.
"Because Leo want's us out here to make sure none of Shredder's foot clan show up and take them by surprise." She reminded him once again, her voice rising slightly in annoyance.
"That may be so but I'm bored out here," Gen groused to her once again.
Before April could once again respond, Mikey jumped in on the conversation. "Relax dude," He told him and brought out one of his comic books. "I like to keep my self entertained by reading one of my comics." He handed the magazine over to the large rhino. "Here, this one's my favorite."
Gen looked down at it curiously. "The adventures of Wingnut and Screwloose?" He looked back at the young turtle in bewilderment.
"Yeah, they're these two superheroes that fly around the city and put bad guys in their place!" Mikey yelled excitedly while punching his fist in the air.
April again rolled her eyes and wondered, not for the first time, how she got stuck on lookout duty with these two. As the two inside began laughing loudly at the comic, she let out an annoyed huff. She was just about to turn around and remind them that they were supposed to be quite while on lookout when a strange feeling came over her.
She placed her hands to her head and scrunched her face in slight pain. "Mikey." She hissed. "Gen."
The two stopped laughing and looked out at April. "What is it April?" Mikey asked, concern showing on his face when he saw her sudden look of anxiety.
"I thinkā¦" She stopped talking and looked around. "I think someone's coming." Her voice was now an urgent whisper.
Gen and Mikey jumped out of the vehicle and took their weapons into their hands. They looked around the alleyway then slowly, all three looked up at the roof of the buildings on either side of the alley. They got into their defensive stance when Bebop, Rocksteady and several foot bots flanking them on either side emerged from the shadows while hovering above them was Stockman fly.
April got into a defensive stance and held up her tesin. "Ah sewer apples."

Short chapter I know but the next chapter will be the battle scene and we all know I'm not that great with battle scenes. Nothing big in this chapter or the next one but if you would like to leave a review it will be very much appreciated. Peace :)
