Chapter 9: A Sacrifice
Mila appeared beneath a structure, it was tall and had several stairs leading to a platform there was no roof on it, Mila held onto Marshall and made her way up the stairs, a few minutes later she walked up the last step. The platform had pillar's lined in a circle around a rectangular table in the middle, she gently laid Marshall down on the table.
"I hope this works" Mila lifted herself off the ground and focused all her thoughts on the pillars which surrounded them "Please work" she closed her eyes and sent an energy blast all around her into the pillars, the began to glow "YES it's working!" Mila said landing next to the table
The pillars glowed and started to move around the circle faster and faster, the sunlight beamed down on Marshall his body rose in the air, then a light exploded from the pillars sending a sun beam right into Marshall
"YES!" Mila sighed "His powers are returning" she smiled to herself
Marshall was gently placed back on the table Mila walked over to him
"Are you alright Marshall?" She asked the pup
Marshall opened his eyes "Who are you?"
Mila smiled "It's alright you're safe, and hi I'm Mila Lena's mother"
"her mother?" Marshall tried to sit up but his body was too weak "What happened?"
"It was Diwan she took your powers away from you" Mila sat down on the table besides him "But I took you here, this is the birth place of the Seijin's" she paused "Or so we thought, turns out you are the one who started Seijin's"
Marshall managed to lift his head and looked at Mila "I'm the one who started Seijin's?"
Mila nodded "Yes as you know you're the first Seijin, and a very powerful one at that"
"Powerful? I'm not powerful" Marshall lay his head down "I couldn't stop Diwan from hurting Ryder and the pups"
"But you can stop her" Mila placed her hand on Marshall's head
"How?" Marshall felt a tear escape his eye "I can't do anything right"
Mila smiled "But Marshall you have allies now"
"Allies? Like who?" Marshall questioned her
"Me, Lena, and friends of ours who live here in this world" Mila looked up at the sun "And also Max" she paused
"What is it?" Marshall asked trying to move but failed to do so
"Something else is coming, we're going to have visitor's they will either be our allies or enemies" Mila frowned then looked at the pup
Marshall felt himself slipping unconscious, Mila noticed
"For now you need to rest and let your powers finish returning to you" Mila picked him up and placed him on her lap
(I just hope he's ready for a fight, because once those Scorpitus realize we're here and what I did they will come for us) Mila thought to herself
Meanwhile Max appeared in front of the Scorpitus which was about to attack an unconscious Skye and Zuma, when something happened. A Turtle like creature and a teenage girl knocked the Scorpitus out of the way, the turle creature kept hitting the Scorpitus with a stick
Max was shocked "Turtles? here? how?"
"What just happened?" Chase questioned "Did they just get saved by a turtle?" he felt his mouth drop as the turtle jumped in front of him
"How are you here?" Max questioned the turtle "I don't understand you shouldn't be here"
"Hi there, I'm Donnie" He smiled standing in front of the group "And I don't even know what happened"
"Um Donnie? Where are we?" The teenage girl asked
Donnie looked at her "April I think you should be asking how did we get here?"
"You were doing an experiment in your lab..." April paused "DID YOU DO THIS?!"
"NO!" Donnie was shocked "Why is it whenever something like this happens I get the blame!"
"Um because it's usually your fault" April laughed at him
"Oh come on! Just because I accidentally mixed the wrong potions then cause my lab to explode doesn't mean it was my fault!" Donnie frowned "I wonder how much damage it did to my lab"
"DONNIE focus!" April pointed at a Scorpitus "What is that? A mutant?"
"I don't know" Donnie shrugged "Let's kick it's butt"
"I'm in" April pulled out a metal fan
Ryder, Max and the pups just watched their jaw's were dropped at what was happening
"Hey! Leave some for us!" a Voice said behind Ryder
Ryder spun around to see 3 more turtle creatures standing there
"What's happening!" Rocky yelled out "TURTLES really!?"
"That is so cool" Rubble giggled "Talking turtles awesome!"
Ryder scratched his head as Donnie turned to see the other turtles
"Guys!" Donnie smiled wacking a Scorpitus with his staff
Leo, Raph and Mikey walked in front of the group
"Donnie..." Leo started to say
"What did you do?!" Mikey put his hands on his hips
"NOTHING! I didn't do anything!" Donnie said from on top of a Scorpitus
Raph threw his hands up in the air "I can't believe this! he did it again! DONNIE!"
"This wasn't my doing I swear!' Donnie grinned "Well this time" he jumped off of the Scorpitus which fell to the ground unconscious
"Yeah you said that last time too" Raph smacked him over his head "I'm so going to kill you!"
"Ow!" Donnie touched his head "It wasn't me!
Ryder coughed "Um excuse me?"
"Oh hi stranger" Mikey saw the pups "OH MY GOD! THEY ARE SO CUTE! Leo! Can we have one?!"
Chase growled "No you can't"
Mikey jumped behind Raph "They... They... They... talk?"
Ryder giggled patting Chase
"Great first we end up in this weird place, and now there's talking dogs... What's next a dog that can fly?" Raph sighed
"Actually I can fly" Max lifted himself off the ground
"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!" Raph stomped his feet turning to Donnie "Where did you send us?!"
"I told you I didn't do anything!" Donnie slapped Raph
"Wait did you just... Slap me like a girl?" Raph raised his hand in the air
"We're not the weird ones" Rocky said sitting down
"Yeah you can talk to" Rubble giggled "Talking turtle's is just weird"
Raph spun around "Did you just call us weird?! how would you like me to make a Hot Dog out of you?"
Rubble gulped
April giggled then noticed a Scorpitus running at the group "Guys we have this Scorpion things to take care of"
Mikey looked at the Scorpitus's "OH we should call them..."
"NOT now Mikey!" Leo raised an eyebrow
"Yeah let's take these things out then make a name up" Raph charged at the closest one
"BUT! BUT!" Mikey sighed "Fine!" he followed Raph
"I don't understand how did they get here?" Max asked Ryder
"Why are you asking me?" Ryder frowned "Who and what are they?"
Max laughed "Oh right, they're called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles they saved the world many times back in their world"
Chase, Rocky and Rubble looked at each other and laughed
"Ninja turtles?" Rocky teased laughing
Donnie overhead Rocky "Hello we're fighting for you over here! Give us some respect!"
Skye opened her eyes to see Mikey standing in front her "Huh? Am I dreaming?"
"Hi" Mikey smiled at her "I'm Mikey the ado..." he didn't get to finish
Skye Fainted
"Mikey!" Raph jumped next to him and smacked him on his head "What did you do to her?"
"I just said hi" Mikey frowned looking at Skye
"That explains it" Raph laughed "She probably saw your face and fainted at the sight of it!"
"Hey! I'm the cutest one here" Mikey smirked
"GUYS! Focus!" Leo sighed hitting a Scorpitus with his swords
Zuma opened his eyes to see Skye unconscious next to him "Huh? Dude what happened?" he saw the turtles fighting the Scorpitus's "Pinch me I must be dweaming"
"Nope you're not dreaming" Rubble giggled and pinched Zuma's side
"HEY! I didn't mean litewately pinch me dude" Zuma pushed Rubble and laughed
Donnie was knocked down by a Scorpitus
"Donnie!" April yelled quickly helping him stand up "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm ok" Donnie blushed leaning on April
"DONNIE! APRIL! Look out!" Leo called out as a Scorpitus launched itself at them
Lena woke up just as it was almost on them "Get away from them!" She released a bolt of energy knocking it back
"Woah! Who do hell is that?" Raph's jaw dropped
Mikey clapped "That was awesome!"
"Oh yeah watch this" Max shot a white light beam hitting a Scorpitus and knocking it even further back
"Great now they're showing off" Raph rolled his eyes
Leo winked at him "Then let's show them what showing off is"
"Oh your on!" Raph and Leo charged at a Scorpitus "Leo here" Raph held his hands out as Leo jumped on them he then threw Leo high in the air
"Don't hit the middle eye!" Max yelled out to Leo
Leo held his swords out "Take this!" his swords connected the Scorpitus suddenly exploded soaking Donnie in a green slime
"EWW EWW! WHY AM I THE ONE WHO ALWAYS ENDS UP GETTING SLIMMED ON?!" Donnie said shaking the green slime off him
April chuckled
"Relax Donnie you've had worse done to you" Raph slapped Donnie's back "Gross" he said shaking the slime from his hand
"Ryder they're strange" Chase looked up at Ryder who giggled
"I agree pup" Ryder laughed "But we should thank them"
Rubble and Rocky both nodded
"Who are you calling strange pip squeak?" Raph raised his eyebrow at the pups
Chase coughed "Not me" he coughed again "Weirdo" and coughed again
"Wow Chase are you ok?" Ryder asked the pup
"Huh? Oh I'm fine" Chase grinned then coughed "WEIRDO"
"I heard that!" Raph narrowed his eyes at Chase
"Hm? Heard what? I didn't say" Chase coughed "Weirdo" he coughed again "I didn't say anything"
Ryder giggled "Enough Chase"
"What!" Chase laughed
"Yeah enough pip squeak" Raph winked at him "If anyone is weird it's you pups, come on talking pups? Seriously?"
"We could say the same thing about talking tuwtles!" Zuma joined in sitting up "Now that's totally weiwd dudes" he laughed
"Hey Raph are you going to help us? or STAND THERE HAVING AN ARGUMENT WITH PUPS?!" Leo slapped his own face
"You mean talking pip squeaks" Raph chuckled
"Don't call us pip squeaks!" Rocky yelled at Raph
Skye opened her eyes
"Or what?" Raph looked at the pups "You'll nip my feet? I hope you like the taste of toe jam because of have plenty!"
"oo..." Skye fainted again
"OH! Look it's a miniature pip squeak!" Raph laughed looking at the passed out Skye
Donnie slapped the back of Raph's head "Enough Raph!"
"Did you? JUST! Slap me?! AGAIN!?" Raph turned to face Donnie
"Um no" Donnie shook his head "Mikey did it"
"Wait what?" Mikey responded on top of a Scorpitus
April stood next to Lena who was sitting down both girls laughed
"They're laughing at me!" Mikey grinned "Both of them are so adorable! Woman just love me!" He flicked his eye lashes at Lena and April
Donnie's face turned red "MIKEY! Did you just call April ADORABLE?!" he raised his eyebrow at Mikey
"What? No" Mikey shook his head "I didn't say anything, you were hearing things"
Leo slapped Mikey's head
"HEY!" Mikey frowned at Leo he jumped behind Raph
Leo slapped Raph's head
"Watch it!" Raph spun around but Leo jumped behind Donnie
"I don't think so Leo" Donnie giggled jumping next to April
April held her hand up in the air then WHAM
"OW!" Donnie held his head "Did you slap me?"
"Yep" April chuckled "Want me to do it again?"
"NO!" Donnie frowned
"Thank you April, NOW guys can we focus please?!" Leo yelled at them
Chase coughed "Weirdo's" he coughed again
Raph spun around to face Chase when something hit his head "OW! DONNIE!" he turned to see Leo
"I said focus!" Leo raised his hand again
"Fine!" Raph threw his hands in the air "This isn't over pip squeak"
Chase went to reply but Ryder hushed him
"Enough" Ryder giggled
Chase sighed "Fine but can we go check on Marshall?"
"We don't know where Mila took him" Ryder shrugged
"I do" Max smiled "I can take you all to him"
"So can I" Lena said sitting next to April
"SURE! Take them and leave us doing your dirty work!" Raph yelled out hitting a Scorpitus across it's face "Why do we always end up doing the hard work?"
"Probably because we're just so good" Mikey flexed his muscle's
"Oh please" Rocky rolled his eyes
Lena stood to her feet "Chase is right you all are weird"
"What did you just say?" Raph jumped down in front of her
"I said you are weird" Lena grinned "Do you want me to spell it out for you?"
Raph raised his hand in the air "You'll regret that"
"Um tuwtle dude I wouldn't mess with hew" Zuma giggled laying down
"Why? I can take April I can take on..." Before Raph could answer his body was lifted in air "What! Put me down"
Lena winked at him using her powers to lift him "You were saying?"
"Whatever, put me down freak" Raph sighed
"Ok" Lena release Raph "You asked for it"
"AH!" Raph fell down a sand dune
"Dude you got out done by a chick" Mikey said jumping down next to him
Raph slapped Mikey's head
"What!" Mikey sighed "Come lets just finish these Spiderlegs"
"Spiderlegs?" Raph rolled his eyes at Mikey
Mikey laughed "That's what I'm calling them"
"Actually they're called Scor" Lena was shut up by Leo who put his hand over her mouth
"I wouldn't argue with him, when Mikey just names something we go with it" Leo laughed
"But why Spiderlegs?" Rubble asked Leo
Leo knelt down in front of the pups "Back home Mikey named someone Fishface, and Spiderbites, he has a thing with naming new mutants or creatures"
Chase burst out laughing
"Hey Chase we should call the turtle who got slimmed Turtle slime" Rubble giggled
Everyone turned and stared at him
"Dude that was lame" Mikey chuckled
"Yeah don't try to name thing's Rubble" Chase laughed "Your's are just as bad as Mikey's over there"
"HEY!" Mikey said kicked a Scorpitus out the way
"What? Turtle Slime is funny" Rubble said standing tall
Lena suddenly collapsed she fell into April's arms
"Is she ok?" April asked holding her "She just passed out"
"Lena?" Ryder knelt next her
"Ryder!" Lena said opening one eye "It's my mother and Marshall, something's wrong"
The minute Lena said that the Scorpitus's instantly left
"Yo where are the Spiderleg's going?" Mikey asked watching them disappear beneath the sand
"Their going to Marshall and mom" Lena sat up with April's help "We have to help them"
The turtles all jumped besides the group
Leo stood next to Ryder "We can help"
"What!?" Raph looked shocked "We just saved them and now you want to be friends?"
"Raph dude we don't know what happened or where we are" Mikey sighed "Or how we go here"
Leo and Raph turned to Donnie
"Don't look at me!" Donnie shook his head "I didn't do this!"
Ryder giggled "Hi there, if your going to help us we should introduce ourselves. I'm Ryder and this is the Paw Patrol"
"Paw Patrol?" Mikey started to laugh
"Now that's lame" Raph chuckled "We should call ourselves the Turtle Paw Patrol"
Leo and Donnie laughed
Ryder sighed "Take us to Marshall forget about them" he said turning to Max
"Wait" Leo walked in front of Max "Sorry, I'm Leo and these are my brothers Mikey, Donnie and Raph, we'll help you"
Ryder smiled "Thank you"
Lena looked at Max "Are you sure you can teleport this group?"
Max nodded "I can do anything"
"..." Raph went to say something but Leo slapped his head "Ow! What was that for!" he looked at Leo
"Shh!" Leo shook his head
"Whatever" Raph sighed
Max looked at the group of turtles and pups "I need everyone to get in a circle around me"
The group did what he asked and stood around him
"Mass teleport!" Max yelled out as he glowed white which spread from his body and around the group they disappeared in a white light
Back at the temple Marshall was still extremely weak, the ground started to shake Marshall opened his eyes
"What is that?" he asked as Mila placed him back on the stone table
Mila frowned "Scorpitus! They found us" she stood up "I'll protect you Marshall I won't let them harm you"
"It's not the Scorpitus you should worry about Mila" Diwan appeared standing on a pillar in front of her
Mila looked up at the pillar "Diwan! leave this place"
"Now why would I leave?" Diwan smirked "Oh this is going to be so much fun watching you get beaten by the Scorpitus"
"Mila?" Marshall lifted his head
"Don't worry I'll protect you" Mila's arms glowed purple/blue color she created an energy shield around Marshall "They can't touch you now"
"Let me help" Marshall tried to stand up but collapsed
Diwan laughed "Looks like he's still weak, I'm going to enjoy this"
Suddenly 6 Scorpitus appeared beneath the temple, they started to walk up the stairs
"Here they come" Diwan smirked
Mila stood in front of Marshall who was still protected by her energy shield, a bright light appeared behind Marshall, Mila and Diwan turned to see the rest of the Paw Patrol members, Lena Max and turtles?
"What in the world!" Diwan said shocked
Mila looked surprised "Max?"
"Hi Mila" Max smiled at her "Good to see you"
"Wait you know my mother?" Lena questioned the pup who nodded
"Our paths have crossed before" Max grinned "Oh Mila these are the ninja turtles, they're here to help"
Ryder and the pups saw Marshall almost unconscious in Mila's energy shield
"Marshall!" Ryder cried picking up an unconscious Skye then ran over to Marshall followed by the pups
Mila extended the shield around Ryder and the pups "Stay within the shield and you'll be safe"
"I highly doubt that" Diwan smirked
"Who's that creepy woman?" Mikey asked looking at up Diwan
Raph shrugged "Who cares but lets wack some Spiderlegs"
"I'm with ya" Donnie giggled
"Same" April said standing next to Donnie
"No stay with the pups" Leo looked at her "We'll handle these"
"But Leo I'm just as good as you are" April folded her hands
"We know April" Donnie turned his head to her "But someone needs to protect them"
"I can protect them" Max glowed white he reinforced Mila's shield
April grinned "See they don't need me"
Leo sighed "Fine stay with Donnie"
Donnie blushed "You're my partner"
April giggled at him
Ryder knelt besides Marshall who was slightly conscious "How are you doing pup?"
"I just feel weak" Marshall mumbled wanting to help
Max sat besides him "I can help with that" he placed his paw on Marshall's head and began to heal him
Marshall felt his energy instantly being returned
"Here they come guys!" Leo warned as the first Scorpitus came up onto the platform
Donnie charged at it
"Donnie wait!" April yelled out "Something's not right"
"Huh?" Donnie stopped but it was too late a Scorpitus hit Donnie causing him to fall from the platform
"DONNIE!" Leo, Mikey and Raph all yelled out
Marshall saw Donnie fall, he vanished before the pups
"Marshall?" Chase said looking around
Zuma looked at Ryder "Wyder whewe did he go?"
Ryder shrugged
Donnie could feel himself falling he saw the ground coming closer to him "I guess this is it" he closed his eyes
Marshall appeared under him "I got you" he held onto Donnie just as they almost hit the ground Marshall glowed purple/blue color which spread over Donnie
"What?" Donnie opened his eyes to see he was floating just above the ground "You saved me?"
Marshall giggled "Of course" he said flying Donnie back up to the platform
Diwan appeared in front of him "You escaped me once mutt, but not again" She sent an energy blast at Marshall
Max appeared and counted her attack
"UGH! Stupid mutt, get out of my way" Diwan smirked as a Scorpitus emerged behind Marshall and Donnie
"LOOK OUT!" Max yelled out
But the Scorpitus spat venom at Donnie and Marshall
"MARSHALL!" Ryder screamed out jumping off of the platform
The venom connected with Ryder hitting his leg
"Oh no! Ryder!" Marshall yelled as his owner tumbled down a sand dune
A Scorpitus took off after Ryder
