Short, cute, sweet, aaaaaaand...well you'll see :)

Comment, favorite, and enjoy!

Master Splinter entered the living area to investigate the loud crash that he had heard. What he saw was: one turtle tot tucked in her shell, and one excited turtle tot clinging to the broken shards of a water glass that must have been left in the main living area. He sprinted over in hopes of preventing any cuts.

Jacob let out a small cry, and whimpered at the small self inflicted puncture from the glass. Splinter gently pulled the shard away from the child and placed it out of reach. Scooping Jake up, he brought him over to the couch and set him beside the shell of Christine.

"My child, there is nothing to fear," Splinter rubbed soothing circles over her shell, "I will be back soon; I must tend to your brother's hand. Please do not touch the glass, stay right here."

Master Splinter brought Jake into the recently vacated lab for medical supplies. Finding the right size bandage, he covered the barely visible scrape with two of the rubber adhesive strips. He once again picked him up, and returned Jacob to the couch with Christine, who had come out her shell. She nervously rocked while holding her knees, one knuckle pressed against her teeth.

"Now Christine, I have a very important job for you," Splinter offered. Her gaze shot to his eyes, "I need you to watch Jacob for a couple minutes. Can you keep him on the couch for me."

She viciously nodded in response.

"Very well," he smiled at her, "Make sure that he does not play with the bandage on his hand." Splinter gently tugged at the child's other wrist that was already making its way over to mess with it. He motioned to the two band-aids, and told her he would be right back.

When retrieving the broom and dust pan he could hear gentle scolding coming from the other room. Not wishing to disturb the lecture, and wanting to listen in, he carefully peeked through the kitchen's curtain.

"I said no," she whispered, "Sensei says for you not to pick at it."

There were the sure signs of a pout in his face, but he did not touch the bandages. At least, not until Christine looked away to the direction that Splinter had exited, Splinter had already ducked away, not wanting to be spotted. Jacob quietly reached his opposite hand over again to take the band-aid off, but he had little luck. Christine snatched his hand again. Catching him off guard, he let out a yelp, and tried to pull away. The young girl held fast, a frown etched into her face.

"Please stop!" She scolded again, getting quite irritated, "No means no!"

Splinter let out a small chuckle. This reminded him so much of Leo, and how his younger siblings never listened either. He decided the poor girl needed a break from watching Jacob, so he entered to clean the mess the child had made.

The Shell Raiser was parked in an alley near the portal. Leonardo was first to check if the coast was clear, and stepped out. He ushered the rest of the teens up the fire escape and across the roof. Down below in the next alley was where the portal was located.

Raph was the one carrying the Kraang. He dropped him next to the edge.

"Now what?" Raph asked.

"You know what, we have to wait for the portal to open," Leo explained once again.

"I know. I was seeing if you came up with a better plan on the way here," Raph scoffed.

"Do you guys ever give it a rest?!" Casey asked.

"Dude, they go at this non-stop," Mikey responded.

Donnie shushed them, "Do you guys hear something?"

Three Kraang finally exited the portal, all in morphsuits, none with weapons.

"Well this should be easy," Raph chuckled.

Six more Kraang followed, all armed.

"And, you were saying?" Said Donnie, with an 'unamused' expression.

"Shut up," Raph twirled his sais and lept off the roof, down into the alley.

The short battle began with Raph stabbing straight through a Kraang droids head with both sais. He twisted as he landed, flinging the bot into two approaching Kraang. Three down, six to go. Mikey took out the next one with a nunchuck to the gut, which just so happened to be the Kraangs actual face. It squealed and fell to the side. Casey hit two more with a baseball bat. Donnie knocked another off it's feet with a swing of his bo staff. The last two looked at each other and ran, only to be caught by the last to join the party: Leo. He stabbed two katanas, one into each robot chest.

"Mikey, go grab the Kraang from the roof. Don, get the masks ready. Casey, Raph? Stay alert for more Kraang exiting the portal," Leo ordered, each teen nodded in turn as their name was called, all except Raph who crossed his arms.

"And what will you do fearless?"
Leo rolled his eyes; he really did hate that nickname, "I'm going to help Donnie pass out the masks. Any other time consuming questions?"

Raph grunted, and everyone took off to do what was asked. Leo began handing out the prepared respirators as Donnie made sure they were all strapped correctly. After the Kraang was checked, explosives double checked, and all masks were triple checked, the teen boys finally made their way through the gas spilling portal.

Many Kraang droids were visible once inside. The ninjas, and Casey, ducked down behind more crates so as not to be seen.

Leo surveyed the scene. He noticed that the set up here was not the same as it had been in the warehouse. Yes, there were clones in large cylinder containers, but they were scattered and randomized, unlike the neat rows they were once in. This proved to be problematic, for they could not see a control panel. The ceiling was much lower as well. It was low enough so that the tops of the containers were connected to the roof and the floor. This meant that running atop the containers was not an option this time.

"Donnie, do you see a control panel?" Leo whispered.

"Not a chance with all these containers blocking our view."

"Some view," Raph snorted.

"Come on already! Let's kick some Kraang butt!" Casey quietly urged.

"There are too many of them," Leo pointed out, "We would get creamed!"

"Yeah!" Mikey joined, "And not the delicious whipped kind!"

"Whipped cream?" Donnie asked.

"Bro, you have not lived," Mikey stated.

At the entrance of the portal, a strange noise was heard. At first it didn't catch their attention, but it got louder. Coughing, wheezing and other sounds of a creature trying to breath could be heard at that point.

Raph was the first to look, "No…"

The Kraang began to notice too. All weapons turned to face the small child that wandered in through the portal.

"RUBEN!"

AHHHH! I'm sorry! The cute part was cute right? The next chapter shouldn't take too awful long. I'm trying my best to update as fast as I can.

Nickelodeon owns TMNT, not me unfortunately.
