Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
With every action comes consequences something that Shredder won't hesitate to show his daughter upon his return from Japan, as he's heard all about Karai's latest endeavors.
"So daughter, not only do you disobey my orders in my absence. Your petty scheme failed miserably" Shredder said condescendingly.
"It was those stupid Foot bots!" Karai argued. "They couldn't keep up with Potter and the Turtles. But one good thing, The Kraang have been upgrading them so…."
"Hear me Karai" the master of the Foot interjects. "You will have no further dealings with The Kraang, until I return."
"Understood father"
"Wait for my command. Do not defy me again. The consequence would be unfortunate." The kunoichi replied, clenching her fist in effort to control her emotions, as Shredder cuts the transmission.
Defying Shredder's orders, Karai escorted by a pair of Foot soldiers walks marches purposely into a Kraang facility, where the aliens present to her their latest creation.
"Not bad" Karai commented, though she can't help but notice the robot's appearance heavily resembles Bradford's human appearance. Even has the same stupid bucket helmet. "How long until it's online?"
"By Kraang's calculations 9 earth hour units or more." The alien reported much to the kunoichi's frustration.
"9 hours! I want to test it on someone now. And I've got the perfect target to. April O'Neil" this declaration caused a noticeable panic amongst the aliens as they still had need for Ms. O'Neil. "Problem with that?"
"Kraang sees no foreseeable problem, one called Karai."
"Good, now let's speed up the process." Karai smirked. "You don't want to keep the Shredder waiting."
"Hey, Harry" Mikey greeted his brother as he teleported into the lair. With Dumbledore forcing him to remain a student, McGonagall didn't mind Harry continuing his weekend trips home, promising to cover for him should something force him away for long.
"Sup, Mikey. Did you guys start already?" the boy asked.
"You're just in time" said Leo, calling them over to join him and Raph by the TV. "So how's being a sensei treating you?"
"Well I'm doing a better job than Donnie did with Timothy" Harry said teasingly before finally noticing his missing brother. "Hey where is Donnie?"
"I'm here" the genius turtle sighed sadly, walking into the lair silently joining them in front on the TV, after failing in his secret attempt to convince April to forgive them.
"Hey are you ok Donnie?" But Donnie ignored Harry's concern and instead focused on tonight's episode of Super Robo Mecha Force. Sadly the show didn't help Donatello's mood as the princess character left the team, Mikey couldn't help noticing something.
"Wow dude this show totally paradoxes your life" the orange turtle noted. "Kind of owwy in the cortisone…that means heart."
"Its parallels and it does not ok!" Donnie denied vehemently. "It's just a cartoon!"
"Besides, the princess has quit the team like twenty-seven times" said Leo. "She always comes back."
"Yeah but let's face reality, April's gone for good" said Raph. "We'll probably never see her again."
"Yeah, you're probably right Raph" Harry sighed. Hearing his brothers voice his fears Donnie decides to slink away to his lab for some alone time. Upon entering his sanctuary, Donnie is surprised to find the Kraang communication orb has been active for who knows how long.
"Guy's we've got trouble!"
"What've we got Donnie?" Harry asked as the Shell Raiser raced through the city streets.
"From what I could translate from the orb; it seems The Kraang are building some kind of advanced heavy weapon."
"Any guess what it could be?" asked Leo, taking his brother's words as an invitation, Mikey quickly raised his hand to offer his theory.
"Lasers disguised as burritos. Yes! It all makes sense now."
"It does make sense" said Raph, getting out of his seat to get in Mikey's face. "If you have the brains of an avocado!" he snapped, annoying Mikey who tried to flick his hotheaded brother in the forehead. But Raph just knocked his hand away before poking the younger turtle in the forehead adding to Mikey ire.
"Alright guys focus" Leo ordered, calling his brothers to attention. "We find the weapon and we destroy it. And then we get Mexican…."
"What?!" Harry interrupted, thinking there was something horribly wrong with his brother.
"Pizza" Leo finished with a smirk.
"Not funny Leo. I thought you lost your mind for a minute there."
Across town, April was walking into the Midtown ice rink where she finds Casey in the middle of practicing his hockey. He'd just finished making a slap shot when he notices the redhead watching the side.
"Red? Did I miss another study session" Casey asked.
"No, I'm just here to hangout" said April, much to the boy's pleasure.
"With the infamous Casey Jones?" he asked cockily.
"Unless you only like me for my trigonometry" she quipped.
"So what's your deal? Never see you hanging with anybody. Antisocial much?"
"Not really. I had five really close friends….I don't talk to them anymore" April explained sadly.
"Yeah that happens." Casey said sympathetically. He then shared the story of how he lost his best friend since 2nd grade never spoke to him again after he accidently hit him in the face with his hockey stick during a game last year.
"But it wasn't your fault. You didn't mean to hurt him." April argued.
"Yeah. Guess some things are just beyond our control" said Casey, unknowingly repeating the same words that Donnie had said to April earlier that night. "I'm going to go change and then we can grab something to eat; pizza."
As Casey left, April pulled out her T-phone and stared sadly at a picture of Donnie. Donnie, maybe I was too hard on the guys. April's thoughts were then rudely interrupted as the wall of the ice rink was blown up, as the smoke cleared she found herself facing some very familiar and very unwelcomed faces.
"Foot soldiers" she gasped drawing her tessen as the evil ninjas charged her, swords drawn. Not for the first time in her life was April glad she accepted Splinter's offer to train her; as it takes every ounce of the skills just to stay alive as she evades the Foot soldiers' swords though she is quickly losing ground.
Their target proving more difficult to eliminate then anticipated the Foot ninja's next move shows April just how much she's missed as her assailants release arm mounted weapons from their backs.
"Didn't you guys used to be human?!" April exclaims. Rolling over the side of the ice rink barrier, the red head barely avoids the Foot bots' blades and unfortunately the Foot bots are quick to adapt to being on the ice. Things weren't looking good for April, when suddenly help arrives.
"Yo!" Casey calls out, gaining the robots' attention. "If there's one thing Casey Jones has, its cracker jack timing."
"Casey run!" April cries in concern.
"What so you get all the fun!" ignoring April's warning, Casey takes to the ice using his hockey skills the teen slap shots pucks into the Foot bots heads, knocking them flat on their backs. "I got them, you go!"
"No I got them you go!" the red head argues, using her tessen to knock aside a Foot bot as it struggles to get back on its feet. April doesn't have long to argue as she quickly ducks under a sickle being wielded by a now recovered Foot bot. Slipping on the ice, April lands helplessly on her butt as the Foot bot is moments away from finishing her. Thankfully she's not alone as Casey shows a little rink rage and shoulder slams the robot aside before doubling back for the other robot. Using his hockey stick, Casey trips the Foot bot's feet before finishing it off in a move he calls "high sticking" swinging his hockey stick into the bot's chest mid-air, slamming it brutally into the ice.
"It isn't a penalty if they deserve it right?" he asks cockily. But he spoke too soon as the Foot bot wasn't done yet and trips Casey onto his back. But before the bot can do anything more, April returns the favor for her rescue and throws the Foot bot's own sickle into its head, saving Casey. "You've got some rink rage Red."
"You should see me play Ping-Pong." April quips, helping Casey to his feet.
"So you owe these guys money or something?" he asks as more Foot bots arrive.
"Or something. Casey just go; I didn't mean to get you into this."
"Are you kidding?" Casey scoffed, brandishing his hockey stick. "Do you know what this is? This Casey Jones vs. Evil Robo-Ninjas. Coolest freaking thing in the universe." With a war cry of "Goongala!" Casey fearlessly charged the Foot bots and was surprisingly holding his own. But April could tell that the Foot bots' numbers were too much for the boy; realizing they were there for her, the redhead called after the Foot bots as she raced out into the street taking most of them with her, leaving a far more manageable number behind for Casey.
Meanwhile, Harry and the Turtles are on a rooftop overlooking a hidden Kraang facility, with a small guard unit posted out front.
"There's our entry point" said Leo, pointing to a second floor open window. "We just need a distraction."
"Dudes I've got the best plan" Mikey said cheerfully, pulling down billboard light.
"Why do I feel slightly nauseated?" Raph said sarcastically.
"Check it out; I've been practicing." Ignoring his brother's smart mouth, Mickey went to work.
Kraang1: "Kraang creatures known as rabbits have infiltrated Kraang's lab" the alien announced seeing the shadowy image in the building's window. Then suddenly the shadow changed,
Kraang2: "No Kraang, clearly a small but obese pachyderm has breached Kraang security." Then just as before the picture changed.
Kraang3: "Kraang are both wrong it is a belly dancer wearing what is known as a flamenco dress." Before the aliens could further discuss their possible intruders Harry, Leo, Raph, and Donnie swooped down and quickly disposed of them.
"Wow Mickey, you've got mad shadow puppetry skills" Harry praised.
"Like a turtle do" the orange turtle said proudly. With their path now open the brothers quickly and silently made their way into the lab where they caught sight of the Kraang working on the robot they presented to Karai.
"Alright, Donnie we need you to shut that thing down" said Leo, trusting his brilliant brother to do his thing.
"No problem" Donnie said confidently, about to sneak in and take out the aliens' computers. But fate had other plans as his T-phone started to vibrate, rather noisily.
"You're vibrating dude" said Mikey stating the obvious. Pulling out his phone Donnie was surprised to see that April was calling him but that didn't stop him from choosing the worst possible time to take the call.
"Seriously Donnie, you're doing this now?" Harry hissed, wary of alerting The Kraang to their presence.
"Donnie remember how you said somethings are just out of our control?" April said fearfully over the phone, as Foot bots continued to hunt her. "Well you were right; things are really out of control right now!"
"She needs me guys, I've got to go" said Donnie, much to his brothers' frustration as he raced out of the building, setting off the alarms in the process.
"He ditched us?!" Raph asked incredulously.
"I know!" Harry cried in frustration, drawing his tantō as the brothers charged into battle against The Kraang, promising himself that he'd be giving Donnie an ear full once this was over.
Deflecting lasers off his blade, Harry throws a spray of shuriken at the firing Kraang saucers, disabling their blasters leaving them open for the young ninja to slice them to pieces. He doesn't have time to relax as he senses a Kraang droid coming up behind him. Back flipping over the Kraang's head, Harry slices the robot in half as he lands before moving onto his next target.
Leo slices through a Kraang droid's laser gun, doing the same to the droid's limbs before kicking the torso into a group of approaching aliens, leaving them open for the blue turtle to slice them ribbons before they even knew what happened.
Preferring the more direct approach Raph dodges around laser fire as closes in on a Kraang droid. Unable to ward off the hotheaded turtle, the alien is quickly disarmed before Raph stabs his sais into the droid and tosses it over his shoulder.
Deciding to put an end to things in a way only he can, Mikey uses his kusarigama to capture a Kraang droid's arm, aiming the still firing alien at his own comrades before finishing off the alien with a brutal kick.
The Foot bots continue their pursuit of April, chasing her into the park where they quickly corner her.
"Fine you wanna fight?" Drawing her tessen, April prepares to make a stand as the robotic ninjas surround her. But before she can make a move she's caught off guard as a Foot bot drops down behind her, trapping her in a bear hug. She looks on fearfully as a Foot bot moves in to finish her when suddenly the bot stops in its tracks as a naginata blade spears through its chest.
"Donnie!" April cries in relief as the purple clad turtle comes to her aid; making quick work of the Foot bots. "Took you long enough."
"I'm sorry. I had to figure out your coordinates with the T-phone…whoa!" Donnie's by surprise as a shuriken is suddenly embedded in his staff. Turning to face their new arrivals he's not surprised to see that his attacker was none other than Karai, wielding a naginata of her own, accompanied by another squad of Foot bots.
"Well I was hoping for all of you to see this" Karai smirked. "But I guess you're good enough Donatello. Your rat master took away someone I cared about. So I'm returning the favor."
With The Kraang defeated the brothers are free to take a closer look at the aliens' newest weapon. Unfortunately the battle took just a little too long as the robot is released from its station.
"Um guys, giant freaking robo-ninja just finished charging" said Leo feeling cautious about the Kraang creation.
"Don't sweet it Leo, it's just another Kraang bot to scrap" said Harry refusing to be intimidated by the machine. "It's not different from a Foot bot."
"Yeah you don't look so tough" said Mikey in support of Harry. Together Mikey and Harry charge the robot but just as they were about to strike, the robot released a plasma whip knocking them painfully into a wall.
Angered by the harm dealt to their brothers Raph and Leo went on the offensive, charging at the robot, who in response drew a plasma sword. Using its plasma sword the robot blocks Leo's swords and pushes the turtle to the side; at the same time its plasma whip wrapped around Raph's arm trapping the turtle.
Struggling to free his arm, Raph moves to stab his sai into the robot but the machine is as fast as it is strong; the robot quickly releases the red turtle's arm only to knock him high into the air with a savage kick. Following after the hot headed turtle the robot flies up behind Raph, landing a powerful punch sending the red turtle painfully into the ground.
As the robo-ninja lands to finish off Raphael, Leonardo comes up from behind attempting to stab the destructive robot in the back. But the robot's sensors are more effective than they thought as it leaps over the turtle's head, wrapping its plasma whip around Leo's body.
Coming to his brother's aid a now recovered Harry teleports onto the robot's back, jabbing his tantō into the metal. The boy soon has to hold on for dear life as the robot begins rotating its torso at high speeds. Try as he might Harry is unable to hold on as his weapon comes loose, sending him flying. With the others temporarily out of the way the robot draws its plasma sword and is moments away from finishing Leonardo when suddenly it freezes in place.
"Subroutine program taking over. Target: April O'Neil Located." Abandoning the fight the robot takes to the sky in search of its new target.
"It's going after April" said Raph, helping Leo to his feet.
"Come on back to the Shell Raiser!" said Harry.
"Stay away from April!" Donnie demands, brandishing his weapon.
"Foot bots keep the turtle busy!" Karai orders, sending her robots after Donatello. With the turtle kept busy the Foot Clan kunoichi heads straight for April. "This is between us girls."
Karai swings her naginata at April's head but the redhead's past training with Splinter pays off as she uses her tessen to block the deadly blade. But Karai isn't done yet; twirling her weapon as a distraction the princess of the Foot Clan sweep kicks April's feet out from under her. As the redhead falls to the ground, Karai continues her assault attempting to stab her naginata into April's head. But the kunoichi-in-training isn't done yet as she dodges Karai's weapon by a hair and counters with a quick roundhouse but Karai easily sidesteps the attack. Not through yet April throws her tessen at Karai but once again the Foot kunoichi easily dodges.
"Your skills are weak April." Karai taunts, easily knocking aside the O'Neil girl's attempts to land a punch. "I've had years of training." However while Karai may have the advantage in experience and skill, all of that means nothing if she's too arrogant to use it; made clear as April's tessen swings back around like a boomerang striking Karai in the face as it returns to April's hand.
"You talk too much" April smirked, fanning her metal fan tauntingly. Karai quickly wipes the smirk from April's face as she takes up her naginata, her next attack being too powerful for April to completely block, the redhead is disarmed and left open for the finishing blow. As Karai is moments away from killing April, Donnie once more comes to the rescue using his staff to block Karai's attack. The turtle then goes on the offensive landing a number of quick and powerful bō strikes Donnie knocks Karai flat on her but, keeping her pinned under his weapon.
Just as everything was looking up for Donnie and April the arrival of the new Kraang robo-ninja brings a sadistic smirk to Karai's face as she rolls out from under Donnie's staff to stand by her new toy.
"Like my new little toy. Robot eliminate the girl!" Karai orders, prompting Donnie to attack the robot but he is quickly knocked aside. April tries to make a run for it but the robo-ninja's plasma whip easily captures her. Just as the robot is about to destroy April once again it freezes as a new program is launched.
"System override: Do not destroy April O'Neil. Capture for The Kraang."
"What?" Karai cried in shock. Angered by the aliens' backstabbing she swings her naginata at the robot just as it was about to fly off with April, knocking it to the ground freeing April but also causing the robot to target her as an obstacle to be removed.
"You ok?" Donnie asks in concern, helping April to her feet.
"For once I'm glad The Kraang want to kidnap me." April replies, smiling slightly at the irony. As Karai struggles against the Kraang robot help arrives as the Shell Raiser drives onto the scene, swerving into the robot as Mikey deploys the manhole launcher.
"Oh yeah, firing manhole covers! Eat it Chrome-dome!" the orange turtle cheers, naming their newest enemy as begins firing on the robot. Unfortunately Chrome-dome is packing laser vision and easily melts through the manhole covers before using its plasma whip to yank Mikey away from the launcher. In an impressive display of strength Chrome-dome actually manages to flip the Shell Raiser onto its side forcing Harry, Raph, and Leo to abandon ship.
"Aww and I just waxed her too" Leo groaned, as they're joined by Mikey, Donnie, and April while Karai and her remaining Foot bots are losing ground against Chrome-dome.
"So Donnie, remember when I wanted a plasma sword?" Harry remarks, pointing to the scene of Chrome-dome's plasma sword slicing clean through a Foot bot. "I still want one."
As they watch Chrome-dome finish off the last of the Foot bots, Donnie notices a crack in its back platting, sparking electricity from damaged wiring caused from Harry's earlier attack.
"Guys I think I know how we can take this thing down."
"Oh are you on this team?" Raph asks sarcastically.
"Yeah way to ditch us dude" Leo remarks.
"Flake" Harry comments, planning how he can get back at Donnie later.
"Go easy on him guys!" April begs. "If it wasn't for Donnie…ugh" she's cut short as Karai sideswipes her with flying kick deciding to finish off April herself.
"I'll help April" said Leo, rushing to the rescue. "You guys deal with…"
"Chrome-dome!" Mikey finishes wanting to make his name for the robot known.
Raph leads the charge against the deadly robot, rolling under its plasma sword he attempts to stab out its eyes but Chrome-dome's quick reflexes allow it to bring up its sword in time to block. Pushing the red turtle away it moves on to Donnie, who struggles to find an opening to attack as he continues to dodge Chrome-dome's dangerous weapon.
Coming to their brother's aid, Harry and Mikey trap Chrome-dome's arms using Mikey's nunchuck chains, giving Donnie the opening he needs. Climbing onto the robot's back Donnie uses a knife to pop open the panel, he rips out the wiring causing Chrome-dome to go berserk as its torso begins spinning around like a tilt-a-whirl, knocking Harry and Mikey aside while along with its plasma sword.
"Oh I'm going to enjoy this" Harry smirked, taking up Chrome-dome's plasma sword. Charging at the robot, Harry impales Chrome-dome with its own weapon finally putting an end to the robot.
As his brothers were finishing off Chrome-dome, Leo comes to April's aid landing a flying kick on Karai. "It's over Karai."
"For now" she retorts vanishing in a flash of smoke.
"So can I keep this?" Harry asks, swinging the plasma sword as he gets a feel for the weapon. Unfortunately he accidently hits a button to extend the blade nearly taking Raph and Donnie's heads off. "Ok yeah, I guess I'll stick with what I got" he says sheepishly in the face of his angry brothers.
"Thanks guys" April said sincerely as they regroup. "I just want to say that...Oh my gosh I forgot about Casey!"
"That's what she wanted to say" Donnie quips.
Racing back to the ice rink April is relieved to see Casey is perfectly fine and has defeated the Foot bots.
"Casey are you ok?" she asks in concern, running onto the ice. Her speed causing her to slip into Casey's chest.
"Of course I am" Casey replies, catching April before she falls. "Steady there Red." As April and Casey are wrapped up in each other neither notice Donnie watching sadly as it seems April has a new man in her life.
Returning to the lair the brothers are in the middle of watching another episode of Super Robo Mecha Force, when they have a very welcome surprise guest.
"April you're back" the brothers cheer, hearing their sons pleased cries Splinter and Hedwig walk out into the living room to join them.
"I am pleased to see you again April" Splinter smiled.
"I missed you, Master Splinter. I hope we can start training again soon." April said sincerely, the old ninja master had truly become a father figure for her.
"Of course whenever you wish."
"And I missed you too, Hedwig" she smiled pulling the owl mutant into a hug before turning her attention to the brothers. "I never got a chance to tell you guys, I'm sorry for everything."
"You're sorry?" questioned Leo. "But we're the ones who messed up."
"It was an accident and more importantly you're my friends. I don't ever want to hold a grudge ever again."
"You the best April. To mark this day I offer you the slice of eternal reunion" said Mikey, pulling out a disgustingly dirty slice of pizza.
"It has lint and dead bugs all over it" she grimaced.
"I know I just found it under my bed. It's eternal" then to everyone's disgust Mikey devoured the rancid pizza slice. Moving past that disgusting sight, April moved to speak to Donatello.
"Thanks Donnie, for always being there even when I didn't want you to be" she said sincerely pulling the turtle into a hug before planting a small kiss on his cheek.
So awesome Donnie thought to himself, shocked by the display of affection. I Love Being A Turtle!
